Second Chance for the Barren Luna CHAPTER FOUR HUNDRED & TWELVE
Arya’s POV‘Mate!’ My wolf’s cry hit me so hard I nearly stumbled where I stood.Two Alphas were crossing toward the bar. Both of them radiated the kind of authority that made a room quieter without either of them trying. One moved calmly and easily. He was the picture of an Alpha comfortable in his own strength, unhurried in a way that made everyone around him relax a little just by proximity. The other stopped me cold. Every thought in my head went silent at once.He looked like my brother. My brother, who I had spent years believing was dead, buried somewhere I would never even get to visit.“Arya,” Talia said. “Which one is it? Which Alpha is your mate?”I just stood there, frozen. I couldn’t speak, couldn’t even move. My wolf had locked us both in place, and all I could do was stare.Then he saw me, and whatever he’d been saying to the man beside him died in his throat mid-sentence. He crossed the last of the distance at a dead run and pulled me into his arms before I knew what w

Talia’s POVI looked up. Geoffrey stood there with a gift in his hand, wearing that same easy smile, acting as if he belonged. My wolf bristled within me, and I pushed back the urge to put space between us. I was the Alpha Queen now, and I would not be scared of a conniving, unruly Alpha.“Good evening, Alpha Geoffrey,” I greeted, keeping my voice even. “I didn’t expect to see you here and with a gift no less.” “I would not have missed it for the world. This is the first celebration of the Alpha Queen. How would it look if I didn’t attend?” Geoffrey said. ‘We would’ve been just fine if he hadn’t shown,’ my wolf huffed. “Congratulations. Truly. The twins especially,” Geoffrey said as he held out the gift.Before I could take it from him, Nolan did so. “Thank you. That is very thoughtful of you,” I said, and Nolan nodded, but I knew Nolan was going to throw the gift into the trash the first chance he got.“Don’t cause any trouble tonight,” I said, quiet enough that it stayed between

Talia’s POVOn my birthday morning, I put on the dress Nolan picked out weeks ago and hid from me until now. It was a deep blue, simple but cool, with just a bit of shine when the light hit it. The neckline was both classic and a little daring as it revealed more cleavage that I was normally comfortable with.Nolan emerged from the closet in a charcoal gray suit that fit him perfectly. He looked so good, I nearly forgot I was supposed to be annoyed at him for keeping tonight’s plans a secret.'We have time for a quickie,' my wolf said and I blushed, shutting her out, but I could hear laughing in my mind.“You’re really not going to tell me where we’re going.”“Not a chance.” He offered his arm, entirely too pleased with himself. “I planned everything myself. You’re not ruining my surprise an hour before it happens.”We drove out toward the southern border, and when the car finally stopped at the edge of a wide meadow, I understood why he’d been so smug about it. The whole field had be

Talia’s POVArya’s whole face lit up at that. “Really? You’d let me borrow from you?”“Of course. You’ll be a lot more comfortable in something that isn’t trying to fall off you,” I replied. “Thank you, Luna,” she said sheepishly. “Thank the Goddess,” Della sighed. “I thought I really was going to have to fight you to get a dress on you.”“Since it’s only two days away,” Arya continued, already moving toward the door, all business now that she’d decided something, “we should go pick out a dress right now.”Della gave an offended snort. “A teenager with zero sense of romance. It’s honestly impressive. Most girls your age have a whole drawer of things they’ve never even had an occasion to wear, just in case.”“I’ve had occasions,” Arya said, defensive. “Sparring matches. Drills. Award ceremonies. A drawer full of dresses doesn’t win you anything out there, last I checked.”“She grew up on the training grounds,” I told Della, though she already knew it as well as I did. “She’s spent mo

Talia’s POVA week later, I woke up to find Nolan not in bed, but in the nursery, switching out the crib blankets for even softer ones. He was focused, smoothing a pale blanket over the mattress. I stopped in the doorway, arms crossed, just watching him fuss over every corner and adjust the pillow. There was something so sweet about how careful he was. I wondered how long he’d been at it.‘Before sunrise,’ my wolf yawned. ‘He’s been at this for days. You’d think he was the one who’s pregnant, the way he keeps getting the den ready.’The nursery was already so organized it could have been in a magazine. Every piece of furniture was in place. A rocking chair was placed by the window, and a small bookshelf held picture books and stuffed animals. The dresser drawers were full of neatly folded baby clothes, and the shelves above the changing table were arranged with diapers and lotions.“How many blankets do you think one pup needs?” I teased.He spun around, holding the old blanket to his

Talia’s POVNolan shook his head then chuckled. "Solon and Leslie, we haven't told them about the pregnancy yet."I suddenly felt guilty. With everything going on, the shopping, picking out baby stuff, I forgot to tell Solon. I told myself I'd do better next time."You're right. I'll reach out to Solon now,” I said.As we sat in the car, bags of tiny clothes and toys swinging between us, I reached out to Solon through our mind link. His presence buzzed in my mind, warm and instantly familiar. 'Talia? Is everything okay?''You know, not every time I call it's bad news,' I teased.'You still didn't answer my question.''Everything's fine,' I replied. 'Actually, better than fine. I have news.''Alpha Geoffrey is no longer an Alpha?' Solon guessed.'That would be a miracle, but no, Nolan and I are expecting our pup,' I responded.There was a pause, then a wave of joy hit me through the link. 'That's amazing! Leslie's going to freak out. How far along are you?''Two months,' I said.'And i
