Talia’s POV

I was grateful Solon had arrived when he did. Della was seconds away from lunging at Jason. Her claws were already drawn, her wolf bristling with fury. I reached over and placed a hand on her arm. “It’s not worth it,” I murmured.

Jason looked stunned, still locked on Solon like he couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Viki’s eyes were wide with panic, clearly realizing she had walked straight into a disaster of her own making. She opened her mouth to speak, but Jason raised a hand, silencing her.

“Prince Solon, I think there’s been a misunderstanding,” Jason said, trying to sound diplomatic.

“Really? I think I understand quite well what is going on,” Solon stated. “Your pack member insulted Talia, called her a thief.”

“Viki didn’t mean to offend Talia. Apologize to Talia,” Jason said.

“What? No, she…”

“Apologize, now!”

“I’m sorry Talia,” Viki spat.

I covered my face to keep from laughing at the pitiful expression that Viki had. She really was behaving like a spoiled toddler

  • Second Chance for the Barren Luna   CHAPTER EIGHTY FOUR

    Jason’s POVHow dare she mock me!I stormed away from the training grounds, boots crunching against the dirt. The memory of Talia’s expression replayed again and again. She looked at me with disdain as if she, an omega, was better than me. Losing face in front of her was humiliating. I would get even. I’d make her regret not accepting me back.Henry was near the racks of Hunting Rite equipment, reviewing the list of equipment. He straightened the moment he saw me, but I could see him tense as he saw my expression.“What happened now?” Henry asked.“Check everything again,” I snapped, my voice carrying farther than I intended. “The bows, the blades, the spears. Every strap, every shaft, every notch. Nothing can be out of place.”Henry’s brow furrowed, but he gave a crisp nod. “I checked them yesterday and I just finished checking them,” he said as he motioned to the document in his hand.“Then check them again,” I barked. “If I lose so much as a single point because of a cracked string

  • Second Chance for the Barren Luna   CHAPTER EIGHTY THREE

    Talia’s POVThe morning sun beat down on the training grounds, warm but not yet oppressive. Della stood beside me with a bow in hand.“Focus, Talia,” she said, her tone smug as the string creaked. She released, and the arrow thudded just outside the painted ring. “Damn it.”I chuckled and pulled my own arrow from the quiver. “You’re supposed to be teaching me, not missing on purpose.”“Shut up. That was wind,” Della argued.I laughed under my breath. I lifted my bow and tried to copy her stance. My fingers ached from yesterday’s training, but I wanted to keep pushing. I drew back, aimed for the target’s center, and released. The arrow hit outside of the painted ring as well.“See? You’re no better,” Della teased.Before I could retort, a voice interrupted us. “At this rate, you’ll never hit prey.”Della stiffened instantly. We turned, and my stomach clenched when I saw Jason and Nolan approaching us.Della’s glare could have burned holes in the dirt. “You’re not welcome here.”Jason r

  • Second Chance for the Barren Luna   CHAPTER EIGHTY TWO

    Talia’s POVI was three days away from the Hunting Rite and every breath I took during training was a struggle.I threw myself into training, but I could barely maintain it. Without my wolf, every movement I felt off. My stamina dropped faster than it ever had before. I was covered in sweat and wheezing before the others even looked winded.I kept forcing myself to match them, but each time the sessions ended with me on the ground in exhaustion. It was humiliating. I was the Princess. I was supposed to be ruling over the Silverfang, and I couldn’t even run 6 miles.As the Alpha King’s daughter, I had always been stronger and faster, but now I was looked at with pity and concern. Maybe Nolan was right. Maybe I should have had Jason beaten for the continued stress he was putting me through. If he hadn’t betrayed the mate bond, I would still be a Luna and not have gone through a stressful heat that made my wolf silent.I just wanted my wolf to come back. Every day I called her and was me

    Talia’s POV“I stopped caring about Jason the moment our bond ended,” I told Nolan firmly. “To be honest, I think I really stopped caring when I realized that he agreed with how Viki felt about me.”Nolan turned away from me and focused on his drink. “You’re too kind to an ungrateful fool like him,” he said after a pause.“What do you mean?” I asked.“After that kind of insult, I’m surprised you didn’t at least have him beaten,” Nolan replied.He had no idea how much I had thought about it and how hard I had worked to take the higher road. Before I could say anything more, a tall Alpha approached us. He was the one Della had wanted me to talk to. Up close, he was even more handsome.“Excuse me, would you like to dance?” He asked politely, extending his hand.I hesitated for only a second. What harm would it do if I danced a little? I reached for his hand, but Nolan’s grip closed around mine instead. I hadn’t even realized he’d turned back around from the bar.“She already has a partne

    Talia’s POVNolan lifted the glass in his hand to toast me. Then, he tilted his head toward the bar and said, “Come. We can talk where it’s quieter.” Without waiting for my agreement, he started walking back and I followed. Della winked at me as we walked back to the bar. Inwardly, I groaned. I knew she wasn’t going to behave and pester me about this after the party was over. I sat back down next to her and Nolan took a seat a stool away from me.“Thank you,” I said quietly. “For taking me to the hospital last time.”I hated that I owed him anything, least of all gratitude. Worse still was the fragmented memories of that night kept returning at the worst time. I still couldn’t believe I begged him to mark me.“It was nothing,” Nolan responded. What? The last time I thanked him he had been rude to me. Why was his response different this time?“You clean up well, Alpha Nolan,” Della chimed in, leaning around me. She gave him a bold once-over. “Very handsome. You almost look like a g

  • Second Chance for the Barren Luna   CHAPTER SEVENTY NINE

    Talia’s POVThe infirmary walls had begun to feel like a cage. For days I had been watched over by doctors, healers, and the occasional guard, while my father and Solon remained consumed by the endless wave of visiting Alphas. Due to the altercation with Jason, the doctor had changed his diagnosis and ordered me to remain in the infirmary for a few more days. Because of that, I was missing everything.Silverfang had become crowded overnight. High-ranking wolves from nearly every pack had arrived, each bringing gifts, entourages, and the heavy weight of politics. My father received them in the great hall, Solon shadowed him constantly, and I was left behind, expected to recover quietly.The truth was that I already felt fine. The soreness from my collapse had faded, the dizziness passed. The only thing missing was my wolf, and even that silence had become something I tried not to dwell on. I longed for movement, for training, for the rhythm of sparring to ground me. Staying in bed only
