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, but I did. My gaze lingered too long, long enough for Marco to notice. He nudged my shoulder and muttered, “Careful, Alpha. If you keep staring at Talia like that, people are going to start whispering.”

I didn’t look at him. I swirled the wine in my glass and took a slow sip before answering, my tone flat and cold. “Of course I’d be interested in the daughter of my enemy.”

Marco’s eyes went wide, and he shot a quick glance around us. “Keep your voice down,” he hissed. “What if someone hears yo

    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

    Talia’s POV“Lock the door." I whispered.“It’s already locked,” Nolan answered. His voice was low and controlled, but his body told a different story. I could see the tension in his hands by the way he twitched. Seeing him struggling with his resolve gave me confidence.I stepped closer, reaching for his hand. His palm was warm and rough. I guide it upward, letting his fingers brush my stomach.“You’re playing a dangerous game, Talia,” Nolan said through gritted teeth.I placed his hand on my breast.Nolan’s palm covered me fully. His thumb moved over my nipple, slow and deliberate. I let out a quiet moan and he exhaled slowly.“Make me yours,” I whispered.“Are you sure?” Nolan asked.I reached for his shirt and undo the first button. Then the next. When I leaned in and kissed his chest, I could hear him growling low in his throat. His skin tasted clean and warm. I opened more buttons, kissing as I went. His muscles tensed beneath my mouth when I bit lightly.I opened his shirt comp

    Talia’s POVJason and Michael’s banishment spread quickly.By sunset, the elders had already sent word to the neighboring packs. Some packs agreed while some seemed cautious about how the Alpha King intervened.Shadowclaw would finally have the opportunity to grow and thrive.I did not allow myself to relax. I still needed to prove that I could rule Shadowclaw. If I wanted the pack to follow me, I had to move quickly, speak clearly, and make decisions that could not be questioned.The first thing I needed to do was to decide on what to do about Henry.I met him in the main hall of the palace in front of Elders and a few warriors. I wanted my decision to be public, so no one could twist the narrative behind closed doors. The Elders had stood against me when Jason first betrayed me, I couldn’t trust them fully yet.“Princess Talia, this was an odd request. We could have met within one of our conference rooms,” one of the Elders said.I ignored the elder and turned toward Henry. He looke

    Nolan’s POVI moved just enough to place myself fully in front of Talia when Henry began to talk. Every instinct I had was focused on keeping her protected. There was no telling how the pack would react to the truth and they were all hostile.I was not taking any chance that Talia would be harmed. I would rather murder all of them than to tolerate any harm coming to Talia and I would have no regrets doing it.It seemed Marco and Della also agreed as they were now standing in formation.“I want to clarify something before I begin,” Henry said firmly. “Princess Talia did not hide her identity to try to take ownership of Shadowclaw.”“Lies! What do you call this?” Michael snapped, pointing at Jason.“Facing the consequences of his action,” Henry responded. “Princess Talia did not hide her identity. She renounced it when she became the Luna of Shadowclaw. She couldn’t reveal it because she no longer had the title to become Alpha Jason’s mate.”The pack members murmured in surprise. I was

    Nolan’s POVI woke to the sweet scent of roses.Talia was still asleep in my arms. Her back pressed lightly against my chest. Her breathing was slow and even. The bond hummed low and steady beneath my skin.‘She has fully accepted us,’ my wolf said. ‘We should mark her now.’“No,” I snapped back. “Not yet.”‘I am sick of waiting. She is OURS. Mark her,’ my wolf retorted.“Yes, she is our mate,” I agreed. “That does not mean we get to rush her. We would be no better than that scum that betrayed her.My wolf grumbled, but he stayed quiet. I was not going to ruin what little trust I had earned because he was impatient.I lowered my head and kissed her forehead. Then, her cheek and then the side of her neck. That got her attention and her eyes fluttered open in the middle of the kiss.For a brief second, confusion crossed her face. Then awareness followed, and she blushed. Talia turned around to face me.“Nolan,” she said quietly.“Good morning,” I said.“I fell asleep,” she murmured.“Yo

    Talia’s POVThe doors closed behind them, and I stole a glance at Nolan. He had unbuttoned his shirt a little and was pouring himself another glass of wine. Only then did it truly sink in that we would be sharing a room for the night.I felt my heart rate increase. I tried to calm down to keep Nolan from feeling my nervousness through the mate bond. I wish I had taken the suppression herb, so he wouldn’t be aware of everything going on with me.“This is nothing new. I just need to calm down,” I told myself.I slept in his room before. Nolan had been drunk and could have easily taken advantage of me, but he didn’t. Tonight was different. I have accepted him as my mate and vice versa.There was no haze of alcohol to hide behind this time. My nerves were getting the better of me. There were too many life changing events happening for me to not be nervous.My thoughts spiraled before I could stop them. Would he expect to solidify our mate bond tonight? Would he….“Talia.”Hearing Nolan ca
