Talia’s POV

I didn’t speak again until we were in the corridor, far enough where our father would not hear us. I grabbed Solon’s wrist to stop him as I couldn’t hold the questions in any longer.

“What is wrong with father?” I asked, keeping my voice low. “This is not a smart move.”

”I agree,” Solon exhaled and leaned against the wall. “Nolan is disrespectful, throws around baseless accusations, and is still able to do what he wants. If it was anyone else, they’d be in the dungeon or exiled.”

    Nolan’s POVTalia had not been sleeping well this past week. Every night she would only sleep for a few hours before waking to stare at the ceiling. Talia did not want to talk about it and I didn’t pressure her.At breakfast she sat across from me. Talia looked like a shell of her former self. She was pale with bags under her eyes.‘We will have to get the doctor involved. Our mate needs to sleep,’ my wolf suggested.Talia turned to the maid standing nearest to her and said, "Maggie, can you add sugar for my coffee?"The maid did not move. Talia registered what she had said and the remaining color that was left on her face drained away.“Leave us,” I said as I stood and opened the door. They left without a word and I closed the door. I pulled my chair beside Talia’s and put my arm around her. She turned into me and cried. She pressed her face against my shoulder, and I held her with my hand on the back of her head."She never got any of it," Talia said. "The marking. The child. Every

    Jason’s POVMaggie was kneeling in front of me with a dagger buried in her chest. She was looking up at me with her hands pressed over the wound. Her mouth was moving, but I could not hear what she was saying. The blood continued to pour from her chest. It pooled around her knees and kept spreading.Then I could hear her."Save me," she said. "Please, Mason. Save me."“Maggie!”Pain radiated from my shoulder as I jerked awake. I gasped in pain and automatically reached for my shoulder. It was bandaged with blood seeping through. I turned my head and found my father in the chair beside the bed with his arms folded."You’re finally awake," Father said. “Don’t try to move too quickly or you’ll rip your stitches. I put in a lot of work to keep you alive.”"How long?" I asked. “How long have I been out?”"Two days. The arrow was deeper than it looked and you pulled it out yourself which cut an artery. You were lucky that they were focused on that girl instead of tracking you down. You woul

    Talia’s POVMaggie’s breath was shallow and wet. I pressed harder on her wound, but she was losing blood faster than I could stop it."Stay with me," I told her. "Maggie. Please stay with me."Maggie opened her mouth to speak but only more blood bubbled up. She coughed hard and I felt it warm against my hands. “Don’t try to speak.”"I am sorry," she said. Her voice was barely there. "I am so sorry, Luna. I let them deceive me again. I hurt you again.""Stop," I said. "You did not hurt me. You saved me. Do you understand that? You saved me!"Maggie attempted to speak again, but she began to gasp. She strained as she tried to get air in. Maggie’s eyes were glassy, but she was still looking at me.‘No, no, she couldn’t die, not like this!’ I thought."The baby," I pleaded. "Maggie, you have to hold on for the baby. Help is on the way.”Behind me I heard Nolan yelling. “Where is the healer? What is taking so long?”“You’re going to be okay. You have to keep breathing. Think about the baby

    Talia’s POVI knew his face before my mind caught up with what I was seeing.Jason.He had changed his appearance but not enough. The moment our eyes met I felt rage build up in me. I had been right the first time I saw him when the wall was being built, but I had doubted myself."Jason, why are you here?!” I hissed.Maggie stood up and looked between Jason and I. "Luna, you’re mistaken. His name is Mason," she said.The confusion in her voice was genuine, and it made my chest hurt. Maggie did not know about Jason’s past and the horrible things he had done in the name of ‘love’. ‘She’s not going to listen to us. We need our mate to command her to us,’ my wolf advised.‘Order Maggie to come to us right now,’ I told Nolan through our bond.“Maggie, come to me right now,” Nolan ordered."He is my mate. I think you have mistaken him for someone else, Luna, Alpha, please,” Maggie continued as she began walking towards us.Jason pushed away from the table and Nolan dropped the gifts. He lun

    Maggie’s POVThe doctor handed me a small bundle of herbs when he signed my discharge papers."Brew these into a tea before bed," he said. "Stay off your feet for the rest of the day.""I will do my best," I told him.The doctor gave me a long look that said he had heard that before and did not believe it. "I mean it, Maggie. You are in early pregnancy. Your body is already working harder than usual. You need rest tonight.""I promise I will rest,” I told him again.The doctor nodded and handed me a printed sheet with detailed care instructions. “Come back in two weeks for a follow-up. If your condition is worse, I’ll request Alpha to order you to stay here,” he warned.Back in my room I sat on the edge of the bed and put the pregnancy report on the bedside table. I had been thinking about how to tell Mason since Talia told me I was pregnant. Mason had talked about children before in the way people do when they want something badly enough, but too afraid to admit it.‘He will be happ

    Maggie’s POVI woke up dizzy. The ceiling above me was unfamiliar and it took me a moment to understand where I was or how I had got there.The first thing I heard was Nolan's voice. He was speaking quickly and his tone was tight in the way it got when he was worried about something he could not control."What happened to her? Why did she collapse?”"Her body is under a lot of stress. She needs rest and time,” another voice responded."Stress does not cause someone to collapse like that, doctor. It has to be more than that,” Nolan responded.I lay still and listened and tried to work out what was wrong with me. My head ached and my mouth was dry. I felt weak and just did not feel right. Maybe Nolan was right. Did I pick up a cold? Was the mad rogue infection airborne?‘Stop,’ my wolf hushed. ‘You are overthinking. You are fine.’ I was not entirely sure I believed her, but I did not have the energy to argue.Then I heard Talia's voice. "Nolan, calm down. The doctor said she is fine. He

    Talia’s POVNolan leaned close to me. "That proposal is insane," he said, his voice low enough that only I could hear it."I know," I said.“Then, why are you agreeing to this?”"Trust me. I know what I am doing," I responded.If we didn’t go along with Landon’s proposal, then the other packs would
