Nolan’s POV

From my seat near the edge of the hall, I had a clear view of the main aisle. Talia entered beside her brother, guiding him toward their seats. There was something about her demeanor that caught my attention.

Her posture was perfect, yet her eyes weren’t on the ceremony or the crowd. She seemed to be lost in her thoughts. Her eyes kept darting to the entrance as if she was worried about something.

‘She’s distracted. Something happened,’ my wolf said within me.

I shouldn’t have cared

Izzy and storm both make valid points and I’m fairly hopeful that Nolan won’t take long to figure out what Alpha Michael and Jason have planned and wanting to take the Kingship for themselves!! I’m also hoping that he gets proof Michael killed his father!!

my guess is that by the end, he'll be desperately in love with Talia and he'll learn that Jason's father killed his. His behavior right now usually signals a turn in development later. He'll likely adore and worship her

Ugh, I don’t like Nolan. He’s a terrible choice for her second chance mate. Poor Talia. She deserves a loyal, caring man to worship her.

  • Second Chance for the Barren Luna   CHAPTER THREE HUNDRED & NINETY

    Talia’s POVBefore I could reply to Arya, Walden jumped in. “I’d be happy to go with you for your shift ceremony, Arya,” he said warmly. “You’ve always been like a daughter to me.”But Arya shook her head. “Thank you, but I want Alpha Nolan with me.” She then turned to me again. “Please, Luna. Won’t you agree?”Nolan stood stiffly beside me. I could tell he was uncertain. He felt responsible as Alpha, worried about me, and unsure what Arya really wanted. My mind raced. Was Arya testing us, or trying to come between Nolan and me?‘This little brat,’ my wolf growled. ‘You have to agree. Otherwise, it’ll seem like we don’t keep our promises.’I forced a smile, even though I hated all of this. “I don’t mind, and those are the rules,” I finally said, trying to sound calm. “And I, for one, don’t want any of Della’s nasty eggs.” I gave a weak laugh.Arya relaxed, giving a small, grateful smile. ‘You should say yes,’ I told Nolan through our mate bond.Nolan hesitated. I could feel he was to

  • Second Chance for the Barren Luna   CHAPTER THREE HUNDRED & EIGHTY NINE

    Talia’s POVI stared at Arya, unsure if she was serious. “You’re kidding, right?” I looked for any hint she was messing with me, but she only grinned wider.“Della’s orders,” Arya said. “She said if Alpha and Luna want to be part of the pack, they have to play by the same rules as everyone else tonight.”Nolan chuckled, shaking his head. “Well, I suppose even the Alpha can’t escape Della’s party schemes.”I started to protest, but Arya was already calling Della over. Della hurried up with Marco right behind her. Her cheeks were red, her hair slipping out of its knot, and she looked happier than I’d seen her in a long time.“Did Arya tell you?” she practically squealed. “You two are the guests of honor for the drinking contest! I want the whole pack to see the Alpha and Luna can still hold their own.”"I don't know about this," I said. “Come on! Join the drinking contest!” Wolves nearby shouted excitedly. The crowd started chanting, “Luna! Luna!” Their voices got louder, hands poundi

  • Second Chance for the Barren Luna   CHAPTER THREE HUNDRED & EIGHTY EIGHT

    Talia’s POVIn my mind, my wolf could barely stop laughing. ‘Della only cares about two things: parties and Marco,’ she laughed.I tried not to smile as I looked across the table at Della. She spun a pen between her fingers, obviously already thinking about the party.“You know, maybe we should have the party tonight, and I will let you take charge,” I suggested. Della dropped her pen as she looked at me in surprise. “Tonight? Are you serious? You’re not playing with me, are you?”Nolan’s mouth twitched as he tried to keep a straight face. “Well, if the Alpha Queen says we need a party, then let’s have a party,” he said.Della didn’t need any more encouragement. She squealed and sprang to her feet, her chair almost toppling behind her. “Oh, you will not regret this!” She turned to Marco, who was quietly sorting the meeting notes. “Marco, you’re with me. We are going to throw the biggest, wildest, most unforgettable night Bloodmoon has ever seen!”“Woah, woah, can we talk about this?”

    Talia’s POVLight poured in through our bedroom window, streaking the sheets with gold and heating my face. Waking up slowly, I stretched and groaned. My muscles were pleasantly sore from the night before and my stomach rumbled loudly. I checked the clock. It was already noon. Nolan’s side of the bed was empty, and the sheets were cool. I pouted a little as I wanted round three. ‘Food first and then find him,’ my wolf said eagerly.I got out of bed, pulled on a hoodie and sweatpants, and walked to the kitchen. The house was quiet except for some distant clattering and the smell of food coming from the kitchen. My mouth watered as I got closer, with the scent of beef stew and fresh bread getting stronger. When I turned the corner, I saw Della, Clara, and Annie deep in a debate.“I’m telling you, it needs more chili!” Della insisted, planting her hands on her hips. “If you add more spice, half the pack won’t be able to eat it,” Clara retorted, glancing at Annie for support.Annie, flo

  • Second Chance for the Barren Luna   CHAPTER THREE HUNDRED & EIGHTY SIX

    Talia’s POVWe hurried to our room after dinner. I grabbed Nolan's shirt and yanked him in. He laughed and came after me. I could see he'd been waiting for this for a long time.Clara must have cleaned up while we were gone. The bed was made, the pillows were super fluffy, and the floor spotless. Fresh roses lay by the window. I grinned and absorbed it all. "Clara went all out," I said, looking around.“Are you actually giving me a room tour right now?” Nolan teased.“Perhaps,” I said, and grinned. "I ate too much. I got to walk it off.”I touched the dresser and wandered around. My wolf liked things clean, and it was good to know that while we were away our place would be looked after.I opened the bathroom door and expected to just see a clean bathroom. Instead, I was struck by a pleasant floral scent. The tub was filled and steaming, pink petals floating on the water.I looked back at Nolan and asked, “Did you have Clara do all this?Nolan smiled, looking proud. "Yeah, it was a su

    Talia’s POVWhen the crowd started to leave, Arya lingered, looking back and forth between Nolan and me. My wolf gave a tense huff, and I could already tell what she was thinking. She still hadn’t moved past Maggie’s failed attempt to take Nolan from us.‘I know what you’re thinking,’ I said before she could speak, but she kept going anyway.‘She’s just like Maggie,’ my wolf grumbled. ‘She’s watching him like he’s the moon. We should keep an eye on her.’‘Arya’s just a young, impressionable warrior,’ I said. ‘It makes sense for her to admire a strong Alpha.’‘There’s a thin line between admiring someone and wanting them,’ my wolf huffed.Nolan nudged me gently. “Don’t worry. I only have eyes for you.”“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” I said, laughing.“Yes, you do,” he chuckled, leaning in to kiss me.I watched Arya walk into the packhouse, her head held high, other warriors gathering around her. My wolf relaxed, but I told myself to remain alert. We didn’t need another Mag
