Talia’s POV

The next morning, I woke late. I blinked at the sunlight spilling across my bed and realized I had overslept. My body still felt lighter than it had before, though the tiredness clung in places.

The door opened a moment later, and Della walked in. “Great! You’re finally awake,” she said, heading straight for the bed. “I’m not sure if I like this new Talia who sleeps until noon.”

“Well, you’ll just have to get used to it,” I muttered, propping myself up.

She sat on the edge of the mattress and gave me a look that could have rivaled a healer’s exam. “You’re not hung over, are you? If you are, I can send someone to make you something greasy.”

“I’m fine,” I said. “Just a little tired.”

That did not stop her from pressing her hand to my forehead. She let out a long breath, as if she had been holding it in. “Good. I was starting to worry you’d drift off again and sleep for another week.”

Her fussing made me smile. “You’ve been checking on me a lot, haven’t you?”

She gave a sma

    Talia’s POVThe morning of the Sacrifice Ceremony arrived faster than I expected. I barely got any sleep as I couldn't get the kiss with Nolan out of my mind. Della brought me coffee and had applied makeup to expertly hide the bags under my eyes. She stood behind me, adjusting the final curl in my hair. “Hold still,” she said as her tongue stuck out slightly as she concentrated.“You’ve been saying that for an hour," I groaned.Della glared at me through the mirror. “That’s because you keep turning your head. I swear if you keep moving I will start over.""You wouldn't dare!""Try me," Della said with a smirk. I stayed completely still and after another ten minutes, Della stepped back. "There. Done." Before I could respond, there was a knock at the door.Della went to open it. Leslie stood in the doorway wearing a red gown that stopped just above her knees. Her bright hair was tied into a high ponytail, and her usual carefree expression had been replaced with a confident smile. “We

    Talia’s POVFor a moment, I couldn’t move. I stood frozen staring at Nolan. His presence was so unexpected that my mind struggled to catch up.“Alpha Nolan,” I said quietly, my voice barely steady. “What are you doing here?”He didn’t answer right away. His eyes were dark with anger and something else I couldn’t name.“You shouldn’t have gone with him,” he finally said.I frowned. “What?”“With Colin,” he snapped. “You shouldn’t have gone into the forest with him. Do you have any idea how dangerous that was?”“How do you even know about that?” I asked, startled.“Jason told me. He said you went to the waterfall with Colin, on a date. I searched the entire forest for you. For hours,” Nolan replied.I blinked in disbelief. “You searched for me?”“Yes,” he said. “Anything could have happened to you.”My pulse quickened at the thought that Nolan cared that much to look for me. Then, I mentally cursed myself. Why was I getting flustered over this? Nolan didn’t want me. He basically was act

    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
