Talia’s POV

After leaving Leslie’s cabin, I felt like a weight had been lifted from my chest. I felt energized. I knew that wouldn't last due to my lack of sleep, but I wanted to take full advantage of it while I could.

I headed toward the training grounds to release some of my pent-up energy.

I walked the usual path, but I did not see Nolan anywhere. Normally, he trained at this hour or sparred with Marco. Today, he wasn't there. Only a few younger warriors practicing their forms and a pair o

I HOPE Nolan tells her that her father made him PROMISE not to pursue her!! I just HATE when people try to come between mates no matter their reasons!! I think that Nolan will be more honest than he’s EVER been because he’s drunk!!

  • Second Chance for the Barren Luna   CHAPTER FOUR HUNDRED & SEVENTY SEVEN

    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

    Talia’s POVThe training ground sat behind the packhouse, down a hill and through some trees. Somehow, I knew the way before we even arrived.My body just turned at the hill like it had done it a hundred times, and I knew where the fence would be before I saw it. I felt like I belonged here, even if I couldn’t remember ever seeing it."What’s wrong?” Nolan asked."I know this place.""You should. You were down here most mornings." He held out his open hand and waited for me to decide to take it. I took his hand, and we continued. I wasn’t sure I was ready, but it was now or never. The pack needed to see me up and well. I needed to prove to them I was still their Luna.Everyone was already there when we walked out of the trees, lined up along the fence and packed in tight. When they saw us, the crowd exploded. This wasn’t polite clapping for someone who’d been sick; they were really cheering. I spotted a guy near the front with a kid on his shoulders. Both of them were waving at me.

    Talia’s POVI woke up on the kids’ bedroom floor, a stuffed rabbit pillow under my head.One bedtime story turned into three. After the last one, Nyla wanted the rabbit voice again. I don’t even remember falling asleep. When I woke up, it was morning, and someone had put a blanket over me.I propped myself up and watched them sleep. They looked so peaceful. I realized I’d never really looked at them this closely before.Nyla slept with her mouth open, her arm hanging off the bed. She looked just like me, with the same chin, eyebrows, and mouth. But I noticed she had Nolan’s eyes. Elian was lying on his back with his blanket on the floor. He looked just like Nolan, except he had my eyes, I thought.'Those two are going to be trouble,' my wolf said. 'She looks like you, he looks like him, and they’re both going to break hearts.'"They’re five," I said.'So? Didn’t you have a little boyfriend at that age?' my wolf asked.'No, because Solon wouldn’t let me. And it was just child’s play, a
