Second Chance for the Barren Luna CHAPTER FOUR HUNDRED & EIGHTY EIGHT
Nolan’s POVThe next morning, Marco came into my office early, carrying a stack of documents from the other packs. He placed them on the desk and glanced at the empty chair across from me."Where's Luna?" Marco asked."Still in her room sleeping," I replied.Marco waited for more information, but I offered nothing further. "Don’t you think that’s strange?" he asked. "She hasn’t missed a morning with you for two weeks. Is she feeling alright?""She was up most of the night," I said. "Clara says she woke up with a headache."Marco nodded. "Don’t worry too much about it," he said.“Who says I’m worrying?” I asked.“I know you, Alpha. You’re worrying. I can tell by the vein bulging in your forehead,” Marco replied. “She probably just needs to rest. At least she’s resting on her own. Before, you would have to harass her into it.”"I know," I sighed. "It’s like I’m getting to know a different person." There were things about Talia that were the same, but every day her preferences shifted fr

Talia’s POV"No key," I muttered."Maybe you kept your journal here," my wolf said. If that was true, reading it might help me remember everything. I needed to open that drawer."I could wake Nolan and ask for a key," I thought, "but I don't want to stand in his doorway at 2 a.m. just to get permission to open a drawer in my own room. I'm not doing that.""Screw it," I whispered."Come on..." I grunted, wedging my fingers into the gap at the top of the drawer, shoving my shoulder against it until the thin wood around the lock broke. The drawer split and landed in my lap."What the...?" I breathed. There was only one thing inside.It was a dagger. The blade was thin and clean. The handle was dark wood, worn smooth. I picked it up, curious and uneasy. It felt right in my hand, like I’d held it a thousand times, even though I couldn’t remember. For a moment, I felt a hollow nostalgia.I sat on the floor with it, not sure what to do. "Why did I hide you?" I whispered to the dagger. I put

Talia’s POVI touched my face and realized she was right."I didn't realize I was," I said. "I'm okay. These are happy tears.""Crying isn't good," Nyla said."Sometimes it is," I explained. "I'm happy, and seeing that happen to Abby made me emotional. That's why I'm crying."Nyla thought for a moment, then grabbed my hand and pulled me along."Come on," Nyla said, tugging my hand. "I know what fixes it."She led me off the stage and down the hall to a long table at the far end, one I hadn't noticed until she stopped me in front of it."It's all desserts," Nyla said. "Clara made the brownies. She only makes them for parties, so take two."I took two of them. She started pointing with her whole hand."The lemon bars are my favorite, and the thumbprint cookies have jam. Don't eat the coconut ones, Mom," Nyla warned."Why not?" I asked."They taste like soap!" Nyla said.Suddenly, someone handed me a real plate, loaded with food, from the other side."Here," Elian said, pushing the plate

Talia’s POVThe packhouse hall was already crowded when we got there the next morning.I thought it would be a small group with just our family and a few benches. But almost everyone from Bloodmoon showed up, standing shoulder to shoulder from the doors to the back wall. Every light was on, making it feel bright and welcoming. There were presents stacked in one corner. People kept arriving, and everyone was talking at once.Nyla and Elian spotted Della first and ran through the crowd. The grown warriors moved aside to let the two five-year-olds pass."She's so pretty!" Nyla shouted so everyone could hear. "Look at her hands.""She has hair!" Elian said. "I thought babies didn't have any.""She has eyelashes!" Nyla said. "Elian, come check. She already has them.""I'm looking," Elian replied."You're just looking at her hands," Nyla said."Can I hold her?" Nyla asked."Not today," Della said, laughing. "But you can put your hand on her back if you want."Nyla put her hand on Abby's bac

Talia’s POVClara had dinner ready when we got home from the hospital, and the twins were already sitting at the table.Nyla waved her spoon. “Mommy! You’re home!”Elian grinned, his mouth full. “Look, I ate all my peas! Can I have more meat please?”“Yes, but don’t talk with your mouth full,” Nolan said as we sat down.“Mommy, Daddy, why are you late for dinner?” Nyla asked.“Because we found out something exciting,” I replied.“What?” Elian asked."Auntie Della had her baby this morning," I replied. "It's a girl."Elian dropped his fork onto the table."A girl!" Nyla said. "Is she little? Mom, is she really little?""She’s really small," I said, thinking about how Abby’s hands were so tiny she could fit on a loaf of bread."Can we see her?" Elian was already half out of his chair. "Can we go right now? We'll be quiet. We're super quiet when we want to be.""We're the quietest," Nyla said. "Please, Mom. Please. We won't even touch her.""Not tonight," I said. "She was just born, and

Talia’s POVMarco turned to me to say something, but there was a knock at the door. A nurse entered soon after. "Congratulations, Beta Della and Marco, on your little girl," the nurse said. "We need to bring her to the nursery now." The nurse reached for the baby, and Marco tensed visibly. I could feel his aura flare."It's part of protocol, Beta Marco. You can come with her," the nurse said gently."I'll only be a minute," he promised her softly.Della squeezed his hand. "Go. I'll be right here."Marco hesitated, then followed the nurse out of the room, glancing back at Della before he left."I was in an unfamiliar room," I said. "I lay on my back in bed, surrounded by women. One of them held her hands over my stomach, repeating the same phrase. I didn't understand the words, but I knew they meant something important.""Go on," Nolan urged, leaning forward."I was screaming and calling for you, but you never came." My voice shook. "I kept thinking you would walk through the door."No
