Talia’s POV

I woke up late the next morning. I stretched and rolled over, reaching for Nolan, but was met with his scent and cold sheets. He had already gone to work.

‘Thinking of going another round?’ my wolf teased.

I sat up and froze when I saw my reflection. Dark marks stood out against my skin. I traced them, feeling that mix of happiness and shyness settle deep in my chest.

‘Why are you being so shy?’ my wolf teased. "We are supposed to look alike. He is our mate, but perhaps he did too much last night. You two mated like wild beasts.’

I huffed under my breath as I stood. “That is not how I would phrase it,” I muttered, though I could not deny the warmth spreading through me as I thought about how Nolan had pinned me against the desk.

With Nolan by my side, this month’s heat would not feel so frightening. After the Luna ceremony, I would stand with him the way a Luna should and help him govern his pack.

I chose a dress with a high collar. Even though I knew the marks were not so

    Maggie’s POVThe rogues moved faster than I expected.Talia noticed something was wrong, but it was too late. A rogue came up behind her and pressed a needle into her neck. I watched as the sedative took effect. She gasped, her body stiffened, and her legs buckled.Two rogues caught her before she hit the ground. They dragged her toward the border path as planned, her feet scraping the dirt. I felt a jolt of fear when one of the rogues leered at me, but I remained calm.Viki stood a few steps away. “You did well, Maggie.”“Thank you. Where are you taking her?” I responded.“That is none of your concern,” Viki said. “Just know that now you will have no more obstacles as long as you keep your mouth shut.”I nodded and said, “I will. I won’t tell a soul.”Viki nodded once before turning away to follow the rogues who dragged Talia away. Another remained watching me with a smirk.I knew what would happen next.He lunged forward and punched me in the face, snapping my head to the side. Pai

    Nolan’s POVI returned to the party after changing, looking for Talia right away. The hall was filled with music and laughter, and the crowd grew louder as the night continued. I glanced at faces as I entered, thinking about how I would bring her back to my side for the rest of the celebration.I did not see her.I paused at the edge of the dance floor and checked the tables, the dais, and the paths between groups of guests. I noticed Della’s scent nearby, along with Marco’s, but not her signature rose scent.Clara approached me with a tense expression. My wolf bristled and said, 'Something is wrong. I can’t feel our mate here.'“Clara,” I said. “Where is Luna Talia?”“Alpha Nolan, I’ve been looking for you. Luna Talia wanted me to inform you that she left to meet the rest pack members,” Clara explained.I frowned and said, “What do you mean?”“Maggie said some members from the border district arrived and wanted to pay their respects. Luna Talia agreed to go meet them,” Clara replied.

    Talia’s POV“They are waiting in the garden outside,” Maggie said eagerly. “They traveled so far just to see you. It would mean a great deal to them if you greeted them personally.”‘This is not right,’ my wolf growled. ‘Why are you going along with this?’‘Because I want to know how far she is willing to go with this,’ I responded.My wolf huffed. ‘We should not be reckless,’ she urged. ‘At least wait until our mate returns.’I didn’t want to wait. I wanted another opportunity to show that Maggie should not be around us. My wolf growled low within me, but I ignored her.How would I explain this to Nolan if I was wrong? It would look like I was being petty especially since Maggie apologized twice in front of witnesses. There was no reason, yet, to refuse a simple request.‘I still think this is foolish,’ my wolf grumbled.‘If this is a trap, you will reach out to Nolan immediately,’ I told her.“Luna?” Maggie said, bringing me out of my thoughts. I had not realized I had stopped walki

    Talia’s POVThe day of the Luna ceremony arrived before I knew it.I stood in the lounge with Della beside me as maids moved quietly around us. This would be my second Luna ceremony, but this time it felt different. I had my best friend at my side this time and a mate that truly loved me. There would be no more uncertainty about my place in Bloodmoon.“How do you feel?” Della asked.“Nervous but excited,” I replied.Maggie and Clara worked together to prepare me. Clara handled my dress carefully as she smoothed the fabric and fastened the delicate closures, while Maggie focused on my makeup and jewelry. Della watched her carefully.‘I’ll make sure she doesn’t do anything fishy,’ Della told me through the mind link as she checked every product Maggie used. Nothing had been tainted and Maggie was attentive, overly so. “You look as radiant as the Moon Goddess herself, Luna Talia,” Maggie said. “The ceremony hall will be blessed simply by your presence.”Della crossed her arms and said,

    Maggie’s POVI did not leave right away. I stayed in the bedroom, trying to be as quiet as possible.Viki told me to watch them and report back everything they did. I expected to hear Talia badmouth me to Nolan. Instead, I heard a gasp and the desk creak. Then, I heard rhythmic slapping and Talia moaning.My face flushed as I felt disgusted, like some creepy pervert listening in. I clenched my fists so tightly my nails dug into my palms. My wolf did not even try to comfort me.‘They are mates. This is what they should be doing. You need to leave,’ she said firmly.I hated that she was talking to me as if I deserved this.I left the room quickly, but I could still hear them out in the hallway. I walked down the corridor fast. Why did it have to be her? Why did she have to show up? It should’ve been me underneath Nolan.‘You’re delusional,’ my wolf growled, but I ignored her.I still couldn’t shake the shame and anger I felt. Nolan had scolded me and ordered me to apologize. He had neve
