Talia’s POV

This was not how I wanted to spend my night.

I thought I would be able to get a good night’s rest, but it seemed that I could not escape Viki’s foolishness.

‘We should just leave her in the dungeon to rot,’ my wolf growled. ‘It is what she deserves.’

“I thought Viki left with Jason after you told him to back off,” I said, breaking the silence.

“She spread lies about you, so I decided to take action,” Solon shrugged.

“Solon!” I snapped. “I told you I’d handle it. You can’t always make decisions for me.”

“Yes, I can! I’m your brother, and she slandered you,” he replied coolly. “She deserved to be punished.”

I rubbed my temples in frustration. “Ok. I will meet her myself now.”

I made my way down the dark, damn corridor that led to the holding cells. The scent of mildew and blood clung to the air. It didn’t matter how many times I came down here. It always made me uneasy.

I stopped outside Viki’s cell, where she sat on the small cot. Viki sat hunched on the small cot, her arms

  • Second Chance for the Barren Luna   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED & NINETY FIVE

    Nolan’s POVThe meeting dragged on longer than necessary. The Elders had so many questions about Silverfang and Talia. Every last one of them wondered whether I had ended the hunt for my father’s killer. By the time it finally ended, my patience was gone.The senior members filtered out one by one, still murmuring about schedules, patrol rotations, and preparations for the upcoming Luna ceremony. I acknowledged them out of habit, but my attention was already elsewhere.I wanted to go home.Marco noticed immediately.“You’re restless,” he said as we walked out together. “What’s going on?”“I have things to do.”“Or someone,” Marco said and I shot him a look which caused him to laugh.My wolf laughed too. He liked that Marco had noticed the change too. ‘There’s nothing to be ashamed of for wanting our mate,’ he added.“You’ve been different since you accepted Talia,” Marco continued, clearly enjoying himself. “More relaxed, not obsessing over things.”“Is that a bad thing?” I asked.“No

  • Second Chance for the Barren Luna   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED & NINETY FOUR

    Talia’s POVI spent the evening exploring the wing of the pack house that Nolan used as his residence. The space was larger than I expected, but it did not feel excessive or cold. It felt lived in.What caught my attention most was the study.Shelves lined two of the walls. The shelves were packed with books of every size and binding. Some were old with their spines worn but carefully kept. Then they were well organized by region and topic.I couldn’t help but smile. “So, this is what you do when you’re not scowling at people,” I muttered as I ran my fingers along the edge of one shelf.I had not expected Nolan to be a reader. His collection was extensive and there were a few handwritten journals tucked between them.I pulled one book free and sat down in one of the chairs near the lamp. I started reading, and before I realized it, I was several chapters in. My wolf stayed quiet as she was enjoying this moment with me.Then, a noise broke the peaceful quiet moment. I could hear footst

    Talia’s POV“What is she doing here?” I demanded.All of Clara’s confidence left her and her posture stiffened. She sat tray down with shaky hands. Clara then dropped to her knees.“Princess, no, Luna Talia,” Clara said, her voice shaking. “I…I’m so sorry.” The words came out fast and desperate, as if she had been holding them back for a long time. “I never wanted to betray you. I swear I had no choice.”The other omegas in the kitchen stopped what they were doing to watch. I grit my teeth. Was she acting vulnerable to gather sympathy?“Get up,” Nolan ordered and Clara quickly got up. “No one is going to harm you. Tell Talia what you told me.”Clara swallowed hard and looked at me as she wiped tears from her face. “Viki threatened me,” she said. “She said if I didn’t do exactly what she told me, she would kill me. I didn’t care at first until she threatened my family.”My chest tightened. “And why didn’t you tell me when all this happened? I could’ve protected you.”“How? Alpha Jason

  • Second Chance for the Barren Luna   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED & NINETY TWO

    Talia’s POVWhen I woke up that morning, I didn't know where I was. I began to panic until my wolf whispered, 'Calm down. You're safe.'The memory of the day before came back and I relaxed. It felt surreal that I was here. Weeks ago, I would have thought a person was crazy if they told me I would be the Luna of Bloodmoon.The events of the past few days had moved so quickly that I hadn’t had time to truly process. If I just stared at the ceiling, I would have thought I was still in my room in Silverfang, but the scent of pine and iron in the air reminded me where I was.Nolan's arm tightened slightly around my waist as he started to wake up."I'm sorry. Did I wake you?" I asked."No, I've been in and out of sleep all morning," Nolan replied. “You look like you’re trying to decide if this is real."“I am,” I admitted. “Coming to Bloodmoon feels strange.”“Strange in a bad way?” he asked.“No, just really sudden,” I replied.Nolan leaned in and pressed a brief kiss to my forehead. “I ne

    Viki’s POV“And what do you need my help with?” I asked her as I sat down on the old, stained sofa. I knew as soon as I saw her face that Talia had arrived. I just wanted Maggie to tell me.“You knew,” Maggie responded. “You knew he would bring her back.”“Bring back who? I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I said.“Yes, you do!” Maggie snapped. “The Princess. He brought back the Princess as his Luna.”“Oh Yes,” I said simply. “I knew.”Her hands clenched at her sides. “And you didn’t think to warn me?”I tilted my head slightly. “Would you have listened? I tried to tell you that you would need me, but you thought I was crazy.”“You could’ve still warned me,” Maggie said firmly.“Do not direct your anger at me,” I told her firmly. “As I didn’t take the love of your life away from you.”Maggie’s face flushed, but she did not deny it. She looked away instead as she sat down in a chair.“The way,” she muttered. “The way he looks at her. He never looked at me like that.”“I know exac

    Maggie’s POVThe moment Nolan and that woman were out of sight I finally allowed myself to show how I really felt: absolute rage and disgust.I went to my room with my hands clenched so tightly that my nails dug into my palms. I shut the door and leaned against it.How did this happen?Nolan left to make the Alpha King pay for killing his father, not come back with his daughter as his mate. On top of that, he moved that woman into his room. What about me? He felt nothing about me? Impossible!I had spent years imagining the day I would stand beside him as his Luna, and I had done it with patience. I had waited while other women whispered and tried to get close to him. While Nolan grew colder and more guarded each year, I told myself he would soften for me in the end. I just had to be patient.Then she arrived with his mark on her neck.“That bitch,” I growled and I kicked my chair across the room.‘He was never ours from the beginning,’ my wolf whispered.“No, that’s not true,” I arg
