Talia’s POV

Dinner was quiet at first, until Father cleared his throat and looked across the table. “The elders near the southern border sent word today,” he said. “The residents speak highly of your governance, Talia. They are pleased with how you’ve been handling the rogue problem. They said your classification system is working.”

I paused, caught off guard by the praise. “I am happy to hear that.”

Solon looked at me with raised brows, clearly surprised as well. “You deviated from the original protocol?”

I nodded and answered, “I thought the procedures we currently had in place were too rigid. Not all rogues are the same. Some were forced out due to territory disputes or abandoned by their packs. They don’t deserve to be hunted like animals. Last week, a mother and her daughter crossed into one of our villages. They were just looking for food, not a fight.”

My father leaned back, watching me thoughtfully.

“I instructed the warriors to remain firm with violent rogues,” I continued. “

    Nolan’s POVI cupped the back of Talia’s head and kissed her back harder. I walked her backwards until her back hit the edge of the desk.“Do you like my gift?” she murmured when we broke for air.I kept my voice low. “Very much.”“You’re incredibly sexy when you’re all serious.” Talia flirted.I laughed and then kissed her again. I lifted her onto the desk. Her dress rode up revealing a black thong.Talia’s hands fumbled with the buttons on my shirt before she gave up and tore it open with her claws. She nipped at my chest as she began to unbuckle my pants. I lowered my mouth to her neck as I licked my mark on her. The mate bond hummed to life.“Nolan,” she whimpered.I ripped the thong from her with a quick tug. I plunged two fingers into her and began to pump them in and out of her.“Do not tease me,” she said, half joking, half pleading.I removed my fingers and stroked my cock slowly as I lined myself up. Then, I thrusted into her hard. Talia gasped and gripped my shoulders.“Yes

    Nolan’s POVThe meeting dragged on longer than necessary. The Elders had so many questions about Silverfang and Talia. Every last one of them wondered whether I had ended the hunt for my father’s killer. By the time it finally ended, my patience was gone.The senior members filtered out one by one, still murmuring about schedules, patrol rotations, and preparations for the upcoming Luna ceremony. I acknowledged them out of habit, but my attention was already elsewhere.I wanted to go home.Marco noticed immediately.“You’re restless,” he said as we walked out together. “What’s going on?”“I have things to do.”“Or someone,” Marco said and I shot him a look which caused him to laugh.My wolf laughed too. He liked that Marco had noticed the change too. ‘There’s nothing to be ashamed of for wanting our mate,’ he added.“You’ve been different since you accepted Talia,” Marco continued, clearly enjoying himself. “More relaxed, not obsessing over things.”“Is that a bad thing?” I asked.“No

    Talia’s POVI spent the evening exploring the wing of the pack house that Nolan used as his residence. The space was larger than I expected, but it did not feel excessive or cold. It felt lived in.What caught my attention most was the study.Shelves lined two of the walls. The shelves were packed with books of every size and binding. Some were old with their spines worn but carefully kept. Then they were well organized by region and topic.I couldn’t help but smile. “So, this is what you do when you’re not scowling at people,” I muttered as I ran my fingers along the edge of one shelf.I had not expected Nolan to be a reader. His collection was extensive and there were a few handwritten journals tucked between them.I pulled one book free and sat down in one of the chairs near the lamp. I started reading, and before I realized it, I was several chapters in. My wolf stayed quiet as she was enjoying this moment with me.Then, a noise broke the peaceful quiet moment. I could hear footst

    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
