Talia’s POV

I reached for Viki as she allowed her knees to buckle. Her eyes grew wide as she miscalculated. If she fell now, she would fall off the stage. My hand missed her wrist, and my stomach dropped. But Viki didn’t fall. There was a blur of silver and Viki was caught by her wrist.

“You need to be more careful,” Nolan growled, gripping Viki’s arm roughly.

“Uh, thank you,” Viki stammered as Nolan pulled her away from the edge. He released her arm and pulled out a napkin to clean his hand off as if touching Viki was some vile creature. He wasn’t wrong.

I rolled my eyes as Jason demanded answers. Much to my surprise, Viki lied and covered up what she did. Perhaps with Nolan as a witness to her scheme, she didn’t dare lie.

My wolf paced inside me, teeth bared. ‘She tried to trap us again,’ my wolf huffed. ‘He should have let her fall. It would have taught her a lesson.” I frowned; the memory of Viki’s past schemes came to mind. She’d faked injuries before. She accused me of harming h

    Talia’s POV“What is she doing here?” I demanded.All of Clara’s confidence left her and her posture stiffened. She sat tray down with shaky hands. Clara then dropped to her knees.“Princess, no, Luna Talia,” Clara said, her voice shaking. “I…I’m so sorry.” The words came out fast and desperate, as if she had been holding them back for a long time. “I never wanted to betray you. I swear I had no choice.”The other omegas in the kitchen stopped what they were doing to watch. I grit my teeth. Was she acting vulnerable to gather sympathy?“Get up,” Nolan ordered and Clara quickly got up. “No one is going to harm you. Tell Talia what you told me.”Clara swallowed hard and looked at me as she wiped tears from her face. “Viki threatened me,” she said. “She said if I didn’t do exactly what she told me, she would kill me. I didn’t care at first until she threatened my family.”My chest tightened. “And why didn’t you tell me when all this happened? I could’ve protected you.”“How? Alpha Jason

    Talia’s POVWhen I woke up that morning, I didn't know where I was. I began to panic until my wolf whispered, 'Calm down. You're safe.'The memory of the day before came back and I relaxed. It felt surreal that I was here. Weeks ago, I would have thought a person was crazy if they told me I would be the Luna of Bloodmoon.The events of the past few days had moved so quickly that I hadn’t had time to truly process. If I just stared at the ceiling, I would have thought I was still in my room in Silverfang, but the scent of pine and iron in the air reminded me where I was.Nolan's arm tightened slightly around my waist as he started to wake up."I'm sorry. Did I wake you?" I asked."No, I've been in and out of sleep all morning," Nolan replied. “You look like you’re trying to decide if this is real."“I am,” I admitted. “Coming to Bloodmoon feels strange.”“Strange in a bad way?” he asked.“No, just really sudden,” I replied.Nolan leaned in and pressed a brief kiss to my forehead. “I ne

    Viki’s POV“And what do you need my help with?” I asked her as I sat down on the old, stained sofa. I knew as soon as I saw her face that Talia had arrived. I just wanted Maggie to tell me.“You knew,” Maggie responded. “You knew he would bring her back.”“Bring back who? I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I said.“Yes, you do!” Maggie snapped. “The Princess. He brought back the Princess as his Luna.”“Oh Yes,” I said simply. “I knew.”Her hands clenched at her sides. “And you didn’t think to warn me?”I tilted my head slightly. “Would you have listened? I tried to tell you that you would need me, but you thought I was crazy.”“You could’ve still warned me,” Maggie said firmly.“Do not direct your anger at me,” I told her firmly. “As I didn’t take the love of your life away from you.”Maggie’s face flushed, but she did not deny it. She looked away instead as she sat down in a chair.“The way,” she muttered. “The way he looks at her. He never looked at me like that.”“I know exac

    Maggie’s POVThe moment Nolan and that woman were out of sight I finally allowed myself to show how I really felt: absolute rage and disgust.I went to my room with my hands clenched so tightly that my nails dug into my palms. I shut the door and leaned against it.How did this happen?Nolan left to make the Alpha King pay for killing his father, not come back with his daughter as his mate. On top of that, he moved that woman into his room. What about me? He felt nothing about me? Impossible!I had spent years imagining the day I would stand beside him as his Luna, and I had done it with patience. I had waited while other women whispered and tried to get close to him. While Nolan grew colder and more guarded each year, I told myself he would soften for me in the end. I just had to be patient.Then she arrived with his mark on her neck.“That bitch,” I growled and I kicked my chair across the room.‘He was never ours from the beginning,’ my wolf whispered.“No, that’s not true,” I arg

    Talia’s POVWe arrived at the Bloodmoon Pack just before dusk, and the welcome started before I even stepped out of the car. Warriors lined the path to the pack house in neat rows. They bowed as we drove by. The people behind them leaned forward to see who Alpha Nolan had brought home.“Are you ready?” Nolan asked as he parked the car.“As ready as I’ll ever be,” I replied.“Don’t worry, they’re going to love you,” Nolan said.Nolan stepped out of the car and I could hear the cheers from the pack. Bloodmoon clearly loved Nolan and were happy to see him. Nolan opened the door for me and I stepped out.The crowd erupted again.“Welcome to Bloodmoon!”The greetings were loud and respectful, and I returned them with a calm smile and a wave. Everyone was excited to see us except for one person, a young woman in the middle.She stood near the front. She wore a simple brown dress. Her black hair was pulled back into a tight bun. When she first saw Nolan, her face lit up with excitement, and

    Talia’s POV‘How long do you plan on sleeping?’ a familiar voice teased.‘As long as I want,’ I muttered.‘So, you are not happy to see me?’ the voice asked.‘What?’ I asked as I rubbed my eyes.‘Talia, wake up!’I woke with a startled gasp and then I heard a chuckle within my mind. I turned to see Nolan, still sleeping next to me.‘Did you really think it was him?’ the voice asked, amused at my confusion.Then, it clicked.My wolf was awake! She came back to me!I didn’t know if I wanted to scream in glee or cry.‘Oh, my goddess, I missed you so much,’ I told her.‘I told you I wasn’t going to leave you,’ she responded, ‘But you sure took your time bringing me back.’‘I am sorry. Things got so complicated,’ I said.“Talia?” Nolan murmured as he yawned into my hair. He pulled me closer to him. “What’s wrong?”“She’s back,” I said, my voice breathless with excitement.“Whose back?” Nolan murmured as he began drifting back to me.“My wolf! She’s really back,” I squealed.Nolan blinked a
