Second Chance for the Barren Luna CHAPTER FOUR HUNDRED & SEVENTY NINE
Talia’s POVNolan made some room on his desk, set a pile of papers in front of me, and left me to look through them.The work was easier than I thought it would be.Turns out, I actually knew what I was doing. I didn’t know the people or the past decisions, but the tasks made sense. Some people needed a decision, some wanted permission, and others wanted me to back them up in arguments. I could tell what they wanted after reading just a couple lines.Anything that depended on knowing someone or remembering a promise went into a separate pile. I asked who people were a couple of times. It was strange to rely on Nolan for things I probably used to know. Still, he never seemed annoyed when I asked for help, just patient, like he understood how hard it was for me. Eventually I stopped asking and put them in a pile for Nolan to handle later.One paper made me stop. It talked about pack members who came back weak after the war, quoting an old order with Henry’s name and mine on it. That ord

Nolan’s POVAnnie was waiting outside my office when I came downstairs. She looked sad because Talia and I weren't sleeping together. We hadn’t told her that Talia’s memories hadn’t returned, but she was starting to catch on that something was wrong, and was respectful enough not to ask.“Clara’s taken the twins to school,” Annie said. “Elian wanted to wait for his mother, and Clara told him no.”“Good,” I replied.“Should I wake Luna?” Annie asked.“Let her sleep,” I said. “She had a rough night. When she wakes up, give her something simple to eat and make sure she drinks plenty of water.”“Yes, Alpha,” Annie said, nodding before she left.I’d been up since before dawn. I went to bed late and then lay there most of the night listening for her door, in case she got up and tried the stairs again.Leslie gave me her books when she left. I opened the chapters about memory and left them on my desk. I kept reading them, hoping I missed something that could help. The books advised us to us

Nolan’s POVTalia grabbed my shirt to keep herself from falling over.‘She’s drunk,’ my wolf said.‘I already figured that out,’ I replied.Talia’s face was bright red, and an empty wine bottle sat on my office desk.I laughed, and she glared up at me, still holding my shirt."Yeah," Talia said, slurring a little. "I waited up for you. It’s been an hour.""I’m flattered," I said, grinning."Don’t be," Talia shot back. She grabbed my shirt tighter and looked up at me. "Do you like Arya?"My smile dropped.Camilla always said her memories would come back when Talia was ready. Hearing Arya’s name gave me hope. Maybe Talia finally remembered."You remember her," I said. "Do you remember Arya?""No," Talia said, shaking her head. "Should I?"A quick wave of disappointment hit me."You just asked about her," I pointed out, raising an eyebrow. “I thought you remembered something.”"Della told me," Talia muttered. "And don’t avoid the question.”“I’m not avoiding it,” I said.“She said Arya

Talia’s POVThe doctor gave me heat medicine, and after an hour, it actually worked. The pain faded and I could finally sit up without feeling like I’d pass out. I had to admit, I was surprised it helped.But it didn't lift my mood.For three days, people kept telling me random things about my own life, but no one mentioned Arya. Nolan had a chance at dinner two nights ago and skipped it. Della only brought her up today, and only because she was worried about Lissa.Now I was stuck trying to figure out how to ask Nolan about Arya without sounding jealous. Just thinking about it made me even more frustrated.There’s really no easy way to ask your mate about another woman. Every time I tried in my head, it sounded either accusing or just sad."Mom?"Nyla was in the doorway with Elian behind her. Her voice brought me out of my thoughts."You're making Dad's face," Elian said."What face?""The one he makes when he's pretending he's fine."I tried to laugh, but it came out weird. The kids

Talia’s POVI heard her, but it took a second to sink in. When it did, I wished it hadn’t.“That isn’t possible,” I said, shaking my head.“It’s very possible,” Della said, grinning with her hands resting on her belly. “Trust me, Talia, I can smell it from across a field.”“Della, all he did was hold my hand,” I insisted.“And?” Della prompted, raising an eyebrow.“He grabbed my hand and wouldn’t let go,” I said, rubbing my face. “It was like this weird shock ran up my neck and made my whole body tense up. I felt super restless, like every part of me was on edge. I had to sit through both fights like that, in front of everyone. All he did was hold my hand, but I still don’t get why my body reacted that way. Maybe it’s just because it’s been five years since anyone really touched me. Maybe my body just hit its breaking point.”“Thank the Goddess the fighting was finished,” Della said with a laugh.“Don’t,” I muttered.“I’m just saying, if that had lasted ten more minutes, you’d have ma

Talia’s POVThe competition was wild. People were shouting from the sidelines, and the energy in the air was electric.Odin charged at Lissa right away and knocked her down in less than a minute. The guy behind us said, "That's it, she's done." But Lissa popped right back up. After that, she refused to stand still, making Odin look slow. He kept swinging and missing, getting more frustrated every second.Halfway through, even the people who doubted her started cheering. By the end, everyone at the fence was rooting for Lissa.Nolan took my hand.Earlier, Nolan had quietly asked me to let him hold my hand in public, so the pack would see. I kept my hand in his and tried to act normal.Then, the bond flared. I could feel Nolan’s emotions and could almost hear his thoughts.For two days, the bond had felt like a faint connection, barely there. Now it was so strong I could feel it in my chest. Every minute Nolan’s hand stayed on mine, I couldn't think about anything else.‘Let him hold us
