Second Chance for the Barren Luna CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED & NINETY SEVEN
Jason’s POVHope flashed across Talia's face when Leslie spoke, and I almost smiled. Seeing that tremor of hope, I was filled with a dark satisfaction. That was exactly what I wanted. I wanted her to feel just enough hope for her father that I could savor crushing it. Everything was still going according to plan.Talia’s entrance said it all. She looked frantic, struggling to keep herself together. She was desperate. Something had gone wrong, and now she had no choice but to consider my demands.I put the cork back in the vial and held it up between my fingers, watching her eyes follow it. Her jaw tightened and her lips pressed together. I pretended to drop it, just to catch that flicker of panic in her eyes. Her breath hitched, a small tremor showing her fear.“That should clear me up as a traitor, right?” I asked.Solon scoffed. “You have done nothing but murder since you were exiled. Do you really think you can bargain your way out of avoiding punishment for what you have done?”“T
Second Chance for the Barren Luna CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED & NINETY SIX
Talia’s POVMy father looked even worse than yesterday. The scent of death lingered in the room. It made the hair on the back of my neck stand on end.IV tubes ran from my father’s arm and chest to the machines by his bed. The only sound was the slow, steady beep of the monitor, each tone making the silence feel heavier. His hat was gone, revealing his silver hair, damp and stuck to his forehead. His skin looked ghostly pale and almost waxy.For once, my wolf had nothing comforting to say. She paced inside me, restless. Her silence only made my dread worse.I stood in the doorway and could not make myself walk in.“Leslie, what happened to him? He was fine this morning. He hosted the entire Harvest Gathering. Why did he decline so fast?” I questioned.Leslie stood by the bed, holding a chart. She didn’t answer, just kept reading as her brow furrowed deeper. “Leslie! Answer me!” I demanded.Nolan came in behind me and put his arm around my shoulders, holding me against his side.“Tali
Second Chance for the Barren Luna CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED & NINETY FIVE
Talia’s POV“I have already handled the rogue attacks on my territory,” Kent explained. “I will manage the restoration of my pack myself. I see no need to trouble the Alpha King with what is properly my own concern. I am sure there are other packs that will require your aid more than I.”Henry turned to Kent, surprise etched across his face. Landon’s jaw flexed, and his nose flared in anger. Solon shot a worried glance at me. The other Alphas all looked visibly agitated. We were all thinking the same thing. The silent accusation was simple.Traitor.Kent must think we were fools if he thought we would believe a wolfless Alpha of a small pack could repel a rogue attack the same size that nearly crippled Lonefur and almost killed its Alpha. Even if he was no longer loyal to my father, it made no sense to refuse help. Refusal would only bring more attention unless the rogue attack never happened. Suddenly, the idea of Kent working for his own gain, playing both sides for reasons we coul
Second Chance for the Barren Luna CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED & NINETY FOUR
Talia’s POVI watched Jason walk between the guards out of the hall. Anger rose in my throat as he smugly left. My hands gripped the arms of my chair so hard that I was splintering the wood. Nolan put his hand over mine, and through the mind link, he said, ‘Talia, don’t give him the satisfaction of seeing you lose your composure.’‘He waltzed into Silverfang like he owned the place. Goddess knows what happened to our warriors for him to be able to get in without us being alerted,’ I responded angrily.‘I know. We will deal with it,’ Nolan said. ‘It is better to let him think he has the upper hand now. We don’t need your father having a relapse in front of everyone.’ He ran his thumb across the back of my hand. I took a deep breath, exhaling through my nose a couple of times to let my anger subside. My father raised his hand from the front of the stage, and the hall quieted. The Alphas stopped murmuring.“Alphas, I owe you an apology for the disturbance that has just passed through thi
Second Chance for the Barren Luna CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED & NINETY THREE
Jason’s POVI killed the last guard outside the hall and wiped the blade clean on his sleeve. Kent's torch lifted twice in the window above me. I grinned. It was the signal I had been waiting for.I walked the path to the great doors. The doors began to open as I came up to them. I stepped through into the hall. The whispers started as soon as they saw me, sharp and shocked.My wolf was on edge and so was I. It was risky coming here. The hall was full of Alphas, and if they decided to attack me, I could take some of them down, but I would not make it out alive. The trick was reading the room before the room read me. I scanned the faces in the front rows and saw exactly what I needed to see. Confusion. Hesitation. No one wanted to make a move. No one would dare harm me with me being backed by the Rogue King.I looked at the stage and froze. The Alpha King stood there, staring back at me. This was wrong. He was supposed to be on his deathbed. The reports had said he was bedridden, barel
Second Chance for the Barren Luna CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED & NINETY TWO
Talia's POVNolan and I reached the receiving hall right at sunrise. The first of the visiting Alphas were already there, gathered in twos and threes along the side aisles. I worked the line with Nolan half a step behind me, greeting and welcoming each Alpha and Luna.“Welcome Alpha Kent. It is a pleasure for you to be here again,” I told him, but Kent didn’t respond. He continued staring out the window. My wolf bristled at his rude behavior, but it didn’t matter. I wasn’t going to take the bait. My family had done nothing to Kent. He was becoming an enemy for unfounded reasons and I would not be lenient with him once this backfires in his face. ‘He has not spoken to a single Alpha since we came in,’ Nolan said through the mind link. ‘He is waiting for something.’“The Alpha King has arrived,” one of the guards near the main doors announced. Everyone turned as the main doors to the hall opened.My father strolled into the room. Solon walked a half step behind one shoulder. Leslie wal
