Nolan’s POV

A wave of despair struck my heart. My wolf rose inside me and roared until my vision narrowed. ‘SHE IS IN DANGER!’

The message cut through every other thought. I reached for the pendant at my throat and tore it free. The mate bond snapped into place. I could feel Talia’s fear and pain.

My wolf strained against my control. ‘Hurry! HURRY! I will never forgive you if we lose her.’

I did not fight him. I gave him one order that was simple and absolute. ‘Track her scent.’

My wolf accepted the command with a fierce surge as he took over our body. We ran at full speed and followed a faint trail that led east through pines and across a slope of wet stone. Branches raked our shoulders. Brambles snatched at my legs. None of it slowed us.

We vaulted over a stream and landed on the far bank. The scent grew stronger and then thinned until we almost lost it. My wolf began to pace restlessly at the thought of losing Talia. I regained control and continued on. I refused to slow my pace. T

    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

    Talia’s POVMichael’s demeanor changed almost immediately after Nolan spoke.His shoulders eased and his expression smoothing as if he had simply flipped a switch. It was unsettling how quickly he adapted. Michael had always been unpredictable, but this change was disturbing.“War would serve no one,” Michael said after a brief pause. His voice was calmer now, almost appeasing. “Shadowclaw has already suffered enough instability.”Nolan did not respond. He watched Michael carefully. I could tell through our bond that he too was suspicious of Michael’s mood change.Michael turned his attention back to me. “Princess Talia, my earlier reaction was… impulsive. I apologize for it.”I kept myself from rolling my eyes. He meant every word. Michael was only doing damage control because he had not expected Nolan to be here.“If Shadowclaw is to avoid unnecessary bloodshed,” Michael continued, “then a proper transition must be handled with order and transparency. I will arrange for a full assem

    Talia’s POVWe made it to the Shadowclaw border checkpoint right before sunset. A metal gate stretched across the road with two SUVs parked at an angle behind it. This gate was new. Michael had worked fast once he found out Jason had failed again. It didn’t matter what he did. He was going to lose Shadowclaw, and he was going to be banished.As Nolan’s car slowed, two armed guards approached us. I could hear Nolan growling low in his throat. I touched his forearm and said, “Stay calm. We have to play it smart.”“I know,” Nolan responded without looking at me.Behind us, Della and Marco pulled up in their own car. Farther back, the transport vehicle rolled to a stop.“State your purpose,” the first guard said as he walked up to the driver's side window.“We are here under the Alpha King’s authority,” Nolan responded.“We have orders from Elder Michael. No entry into Shadowclaw until further notice. Turn back,” the guard stated.“Do you know who you’re speaking to?” Nolan asked. “I’m Al
