Second Chance for the Barren Luna CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED & EIGHTY FOUR
Nolan’s POVI woke to the sweet scent of roses.Talia was still asleep in my arms. Her back pressed lightly against my chest. Her breathing was slow and even. The bond hummed low and steady beneath my skin.‘She has fully accepted us,’ my wolf said. ‘We should mark her now.’“No,” I snapped back. “Not yet.”‘I am sick of waiting. She is OURS. Mark her,’ my wolf retorted.“Yes, she is our mate,” I agreed. “That does not mean we get to rush her. We would be no better than that scum that betrayed her.My wolf grumbled, but he stayed quiet. I was not going to ruin what little trust I had earned because he was impatient.I lowered my head and kissed her forehead. Then, her cheek and then the side of her neck. That got her attention and her eyes fluttered open in the middle of the kiss.For a brief second, confusion crossed her face. Then awareness followed, and she blushed. Talia turned around to face me.“Nolan,” she said quietly.“Good morning,” I said.“I fell asleep,” she murmured.“Yo

Talia’s POVThe doors closed behind them, and I stole a glance at Nolan. He had unbuttoned his shirt a little and was pouring himself another glass of wine. Only then did it truly sink in that we would be sharing a room for the night.I felt my heart rate increase. I tried to calm down to keep Nolan from feeling my nervousness through the mate bond. I wish I had taken the suppression herb, so he wouldn’t be aware of everything going on with me.“This is nothing new. I just need to calm down,” I told myself.I slept in his room before. Nolan had been drunk and could have easily taken advantage of me, but he didn’t. Tonight was different. I have accepted him as my mate and vice versa.There was no haze of alcohol to hide behind this time. My nerves were getting the better of me. There were too many life changing events happening for me to not be nervous.My thoughts spiraled before I could stop them. Would he expect to solidify our mate bond tonight? Would he….“Talia.”Hearing Nolan ca

Talia’s POVMichael’s demeanor changed almost immediately after Nolan spoke.His shoulders eased and his expression smoothing as if he had simply flipped a switch. It was unsettling how quickly he adapted. Michael had always been unpredictable, but this change was disturbing.“War would serve no one,” Michael said after a brief pause. His voice was calmer now, almost appeasing. “Shadowclaw has already suffered enough instability.”Nolan did not respond. He watched Michael carefully. I could tell through our bond that he too was suspicious of Michael’s mood change.Michael turned his attention back to me. “Princess Talia, my earlier reaction was… impulsive. I apologize for it.”I kept myself from rolling my eyes. He meant every word. Michael was only doing damage control because he had not expected Nolan to be here.“If Shadowclaw is to avoid unnecessary bloodshed,” Michael continued, “then a proper transition must be handled with order and transparency. I will arrange for a full assem

Talia’s POVWe made it to the Shadowclaw border checkpoint right before sunset. A metal gate stretched across the road with two SUVs parked at an angle behind it. This gate was new. Michael had worked fast once he found out Jason had failed again. It didn’t matter what he did. He was going to lose Shadowclaw, and he was going to be banished.As Nolan’s car slowed, two armed guards approached us. I could hear Nolan growling low in his throat. I touched his forearm and said, “Stay calm. We have to play it smart.”“I know,” Nolan responded without looking at me.Behind us, Della and Marco pulled up in their own car. Farther back, the transport vehicle rolled to a stop.“State your purpose,” the first guard said as he walked up to the driver's side window.“We are here under the Alpha King’s authority,” Nolan responded.“We have orders from Elder Michael. No entry into Shadowclaw until further notice. Turn back,” the guard stated.“Do you know who you’re speaking to?” Nolan asked. “I’m Al

Talia’s POVI was grateful for what Nolan said, but whether he would truly stand with me until I took Shadowclaw still unsettled me.He was my second-chance mate. The bond mattered. Still, I had learned the hard way that a bond did not guarantee loyalty. “Get yourself together,” I told myself.I did not allow myself time to obsess. I needed to keep busy. There were things that needed to be settled before my departure.Leslie and Solon were first.I found them the next day in one of the conference rooms in the infirmary. Solon stood near the window. Leslie paced while twirling a vial in her hand.They both looked at me when I entered.“Took you long enough,” Leslie said flatly. “What was so urgent that we needed to be here this early?”I raised an eyebrow. I had told Leslie why I needed her to come, but she was clearly pretending she did not know that Solon had already agreed to her conditions.“I just wanted to get the situation between you settled before I left,” I explained.“There

Nolan’s POVColin placed a hand on my shoulder and said, “Congratulations, you two.” True to his word, he did not challenge Talia’s decision and stepped down from the stage.My wolf rose inside me with a satisfied growl. ‘He chose us. Now mark her.’‘Not here, not yet. Be patient,’ I told him. He snarled at my restraint, but he did not push. I wanted to relish this victory, and I wanted to claim Talia in the privacy of my home.The Alpha King lifted his hand, and an attendant approached with a small tray. Two rings rested on a black pillow. The Silverfang’s crest was worked into a simple band of the ring while the other was adorned in diamonds.“These rings represent Silverfang’s recognition of your bond. They will strengthen it and serve as a reminder that from this moment forward, both of you carry obligations that extend beyond yourselves,” the Alpha King explained.Talia stood still at my side. She did not look frightened, but I could feel her nervousness through our bond. I squee
