Second Chance for the Barren Luna CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED & THIRTY FIVE
Talia’s POVAfter taking a shower, I collapsed onto the bed, letting the cool sheets soothe me. The day had left me tired. Colin and I spent the rest of the afternoon catching up at the waterfall. We even went swimming. I should have been exhausted and ready for sleep, but my thoughts refused to calm down.“I can’t change the past. All I have is the present. I want to be with you, Talia. Not out of pity, not because of your title, but because I’ve always cared about you. Let me make you happy. Be my mate,” Colon had told me.His confession continued to echo in my mind. It had been simple and straightforward, better than Jason’s terrible marriage proposal. But, Colin had always been the straightforward type.Finally, a man was choosing me. I should have felt relief, maybe even excitement, but I didn’t feel anything other than being flattered.Being around Colin was easy. I could laugh freely. I did not have to worry about watching my tone or what I said. Everything about him felt safe.

Nolan’s POVI couldn't wait for this day to be over. I had been assigned to go on patrol with Solon. It was clear neither one of us wanted this. Even though I made peace with the Alpha King, Solon still held a grudge. Solon walked beside me, scrolling through something on his phone before tucking it into his jacket. “You know,” he said, breaking the silence, “you were supposed to file your last report two days ago.”“I was busy,” I replied. “The western fence sensor was down. I stayed behind to fix it.”He sighed. “You don’t need to do everything yourself, Alpha Nolan. That’s why you have patrol teams. You could’ve told someone else to handle it.”“That's how mistakes happen. I saw it, I fixed it. Your warriors need to learn how to do that as well,” I said simply.Solon muttered something other than his breath. I decided not to antagonize him. I focused on the birds chirping in the trees. We walked a few more steps in silence before he added, “You’re lucky my father’s in a good moo

Talia’s POVOver the past few days, it had become clear that my father and Solon were trying to push me and Colin closer together. Colin had been given a guest suite only a few doors from mine. Every time I went for a walk in the gardens or stopped by the training grounds, somehow Colin was already there, smiling and ready to talk.At dinner, Father often invited him to sit beside me. When I asked Solon about it, he just smirked and said it was “good for diplomatic relations.” Della, of course, found the whole thing entertaining.“Face it,” she said one morning as she lay slouched on my couch. “You and Colin look perfect together. I mean come on, he followed you around like a lost puppy when you were little.""We were kids. That was so many years ago," I said.Della grinned. “It doesn't matter. He still likes you. You can’t tell me you don’t see that.”I sighed. “He’s kind, and I like spending time with him, but that doesn’t mean he’s my mate.”“No, he's not,” Della said, “but you hav

Nolan’s POVMarco and I crossed the training field after completing the border patrol. We had been up since dawn, checking the southern perimeter and inspecting the guard rotations. It wasn't complicated work, but I was looking forward to sleeping.“The prince is stirring things up again,” Marco muttered. “Every time he adjusts the patrol routes, he leaves a mess for us to clean up. If he wants to look useful, he should at least learn the difference between north and northwest.”I ignored him, but Marco didn't stop complaining.“He had the guards from the east wall moved to the inner yard yesterday. I had to cover the gap myself. He’s making things harder than they need to be.”“We wouldn't be in this situation if you had done what you were supposed to do correctly,” I said finally. "Just let it go."Marco shot me a look. “You’re telling me to let it go? You, of all people?”“With the Sacrifice Ceremony coming up, there’s more at stake than a few patrol shifts,” I said. “If the one wh

Talia’s POV“Colin Ashford?” I repeated. “That sounds familiar, but I can’t remember where I heard it.”“You don’t remember?" Solon asked in surprise, and I shook my head. "Colin’s father used to visit during the early spring festivals. You and Colin used to play together all the time.”Della nodded enthusiastically. "You two were so cute playing."I could only nod. I didn't remember Colin, nor did I remember playing with anyone outside of Della and Solon.“Colin is already here. You have to go see him, Talia," Della said gleefully.Solon grinned. “Of course. I should greet him properly. It has been years since we last met.”“Okay, I'm sorry. Who exactly is he again?” I asked.Della sighed dramatically, putting her hands on her hips. “You really don’t remember, do you? You used to call him Colly. He followed you everywhere when we were little.”The memory hit me then. A lanky green-eyed boy who would offer me candy whenever he had it. He always stuck by my side even when I was being m

Talia’s POVI spent the morning in Solon’s office helping him organize letters from the other packs. His desk was buried under envelopes. I opened them one by one, read the contents, and sorted them into neat piles according to arrival dates.“How many so far?” Solon asked.“Almost thirty,” I said. “Half of them will arrive the day of the Sacrifice Ceremony, and the rest will arrive the day before. Some of them sent gifts too. I don’t even know where we’re going to store all of this.”“That happens every year. The wealthier the Alpha, usually the more generous the gift,” Solon stated.“So, every year each pack tries to gain Father’s favor?” I asked.“Yes,” Solon replied. “Every pack wants the same thing: an alliance through marriage if their Alpha hasn’t found their Luna yet. They come to the Sacrifice Ceremony to find mates or be provided with a chosen mate. It’s the fastest way to strengthen their position. The difference this time is that they’re trying to win the Alpha King’s daug
