Talia’s POV

Viki clutched her swollen belly like a shield. “Jason, please,” she whimpered. “You have to save me. They’re treating me like a rogue. This is not healthy for our pup!”

Jason looked torn, his gaze flicking from Viki’s tear-streaked face to Solon, who stood stone-faced beside me. Just as Jason opened his mouth to speak, Solon spoke. “Is this how you allow her to slander others at will, Alpha Jason?”

“No, Prince Solon,” Jason muttered.

“Jason, I didn’t do anything. You have to believe

    Nolan’s POV“Don’t be so upset, Talia. The potions probably wouldn’t have helped anyway,” Jason told Talia. He smirked down at her, clearly enjoying her anguish. It made my blood boil.“You bastard! What have you done?” I roared.Jason looked up and smirked at me. He turned and strode away while Talia was frantically trying to pick up the pieces of the broken potions.“This is on you, Nolan. If you had trusted Talia, she would have gotten the potions.” Jason called the words over his shoulder as the rogues closed ranks around him. “Now it is gone. The Alpha King’s death will be on your head.”I knew what Jason was doing. He was attempting to place doubt in Talia’s mind about me. It wasn’t going to work. Talia knew my heart and she knew that the real culprit in all this was him and his putrid father.My wolf surged forward, and this time I didn’t try to restrain him. I felt the shift starting, but Solon stepped directly into my path. His Alpha aura slammed into me as he caught me with

    Talia’s POV“This is not a game, Jason!” I growled.Jason scoffed and said, “I know that, but do you?”That was when it hit me. There was never going to be a trade. Jason was going to keep stringing this along.“You bastard,” I growled.“Language, Princess,” Jason teased.“There was never going to be trade, was there? You designed this entire thing so I would stand here and watch you destroy the only thing keeping my father alive.”Jason stayed silent. He simply waited, and that silence only fueled my anger.“Say something! Say something, you bastard!”That’s when I saw them and my heart sank. Nolan and Solon were running towards me. ‘What did you do? Did you reach out to them?’ I snapped at my wolf.‘No, I didn’t say anything to them,’ my wolf answered. That meant they followed me here. They didn’t trust me.“Looks like you’re not as good of a liar as you used to be,” Jason said.“Release her!” Nolan’s roar split the air before he had fully crossed the distance between us. The sou

    Talia’s POVNolan was still asleep when I woke. We had spent hours making love until we fell asleep from exhaustion. Even so, I did not sleep soundly. My thoughts kept returning to what-if scenarios causing me to wake up early.I took Solon's dagger from the table and hid it in my left pant leg. I kissed Nolan on the forehead before leaving, making sure not to wake him.When I arrived in Fangvale, shops were just beginning to open. On a normal occasion, I would have gone to my favorite coffee shop and got a latte, but all I think about was meeting with Jason and how the last time I was here he tried to force me back as his mate.‘We won’t let him do that again. We will drink and eat nothing,’ my wolf said and I agreed. I decided to go to the park in the middle of Fangvale and wait. I sat on a bench and people watched. That was where Jason found me.He stepped out from where he had been waiting with his hands in his pockets. He was dressed in a green T-shirt and grey sweatpants and ten

    Talia’s POV"It was nothing," Leslie said. She said it too quickly and she was not meeting my eyes. I looked at Nolan, but he met my gaze and I did not feel his emotions fluctuating through the mate bond."Actually, I have something to say," Nolan said. Leslie looked sharply at him."Nolan, think about what we talked about," she said firmly but Nolan waved her off."I support you going to meet Jason tomorrow," Nolan stated.I had not expected that, especially after our argument. “You do?” I muttered, narrowing my eyes in suspicion. "Yes. I should have never threatened to command you, Talia. You were one of the best things that have happened to me in a long time. I was, and am, afraid of losing you. I want to keep you home and safe," Nolan explained. "But you are Silverfang's princess. It is your responsibility to think of Silverfang first before your own safety. I have seen what you are capable of. I trust you to come back."I had not expected such honesty from him, especially not i

    Talia’s POV“We were ambushed by rogues,” Donald managed to say after a long pause. “There were dozens… We had no time to prepare. They killed two of us before encircling us,” Donald replied, his voice breaking on the last few words. Leslie offered him water. He drank it, cleared his throat, and continued. "It was as if they knew we would be there. Their leader practically told us so."“Tell us about the leader,” Nolan said.“He was an Alpha for sure. He gave us an ultimatum: hand over the package or die. He called himself Jason,” Donald said.Anger moved through me in a wave. Solon snarled and punched a hole into the wall. This meant one or two things. Either Jason had another spy within Silverfang or Jason was camping out watching us which meant getting potion replacements was out of the question.“What happened to the potions?” Leslie asked.“When we refused, my friend…he…” Donald stopped. He frowned and his eyes began to tear up as he was reliving what happened.“It’s okay. Take

    Talia’s POVDella still did not respond. It was as if she was trying to figure out what she wanted to say, which was unlike her."Just tell me what is going on," I urged."I think it will be easier if I show you," Della finally replied."I do not like the sound of that at all," Leslie muttered as we followed her out of the office.I expected Della to lead us to the entrance where arriving warriors would normally be received, but when I realized she was leading us out of the pack house and to the hospital, anxiety began to build in my chest.‘Do not panic. They could have run into a complication,’ my wolf offered.‘If that were the case, Della would have just said that,’ I answered. ‘She is choosing her words carefully. When has Della ever done that? This is far worse than a complication.’Before my wolf could respond, we were hit with the scent of blood in the hospital corridor. My wolf stiffened within me. All her reassurances left as quickly as the fresh air in the hospital. Someone

    Talia’s POVThe morning sun beat down on the training grounds, warm but not yet oppressive. Della stood beside me with a bow in hand.“Focus, Talia,” she said, her tone smug as the string creaked. She released, and the arrow thudded just outside the painted ring. “Damn it.”I chuckled and pulled my

I sat up and looked at the other side of the bed.‘Why did you wait so long to wake me?’ I asked.‘Because you needed m
