Second Chance for the Barren Luna CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED & SIXTY THREE
Nolan’s POVAfter swearing his loyalty and secrecy, Gideon left the room. The air was thick with frustration and anger. Talia’s brow was furrowed. Leslie was rubbing Solon’s back as Solon was taking deep breaths to calm down. We were all thinking the same thing and waiting for someone to say it first.“I think we can all agree that none of this is surprising,” I finally said. “I knew Michael would not take the embarrassment of exile lightly, but this is insanity.”“When you told us what happened, I figured it was Michael that saved Jason. No rogue would risk their neck for Jason,” Solon said. “It made sense to attack Bloodmoon, but what does he get out of poisoning our father?”“Because Bloodmoon wasn’t the main target. When things didn’t go to plan, he moved on to his main goal: Getting rid of the Alpha King,” I explained.“But why?” Talia asked.“If the Alpha King dies without a clear successor, the entire region becomes unstable. Every pack within range starts calculating on making

Nolan’s POVSeeing the black marks felt like someone had poured cold water on me. They brought back memories I had buried because it made me think of my father’s death. But this wasn’t the mad rogue disease. This was something else."Have you seen them before?" Talia asked, bringing me out of my thoughts.“Do you know what they are?” Solon demanded when I didn’t immediately respond."No," I replied. "But Gideon once told me about a man who died from something that sounded like this. Marks on the skin. Loss of wolf strength. He described it the same way."“Gideon? Who the hell is Gideon?” Solon questioned. Leslie smacked him on his back, causing him to flinch.“Calm down,” she hissed."He was my father's servant," I answered. "He has been at Silverfang for some years now."Rudolf’s expression shifted from confusion to awareness. "Oh, the rogue you asked me to release from the dungeon before you left Silverfang.”"Yes," I confirmed.Rudolf opened his mouth, but Solon was already moving.

Talia’s POVMy father looked past me at Solon, who was standing near the door with Leslie. He frowned slightly and said, “You told her.”“Yes, I did,” Solon replied without hesitating."I gave you explicit instructions not to.""I know,” Solon replied, “but I couldn’t keep this from Talia. She needed to know.”My father made a sound that was almost a laugh, but more bitter. It surprised me. He looked back at me and said, "You should have told me yourself the moment it started, not days later through Leslie accidentally letting it slip to Della.""You had enough to deal with," he answered.“And you still should’ve told me," I insisted. "There is no version of this where it was okay for you to keep that from me." I stopped. I was not going to spend the time we had arguing about what should or shouldn’t have happened. "I am not here only to be with you. I think you were poisoned. Nolan and I came back to find the antidote."Father was quiet for a moment. He looked at Nolan, who was stand

Talia’s POVNolan had been watching my face the entire time as I spoke to Solon. “It’s serious,” he said flatly. It wasn’t a question. He knew me enough to know."My father only has three months left," I said.Nolan cupped my face and said, “Talia, I’m so sorry.”"It is a progressive illness. Leslie has not found a cure yet,” I continued. "We’re going today," Nolan declared.“Right now? You’re with me?”“Yes. Right now. I will call the pack meeting, you will speak to them, and then we will leave. Can you do that?""Yes."Nolan kissed my forehead. His eyes flashed and I heard his order through the pack link. The pack gathered quickly in the courtyard. By the time I stepped out to face them the word had already spread that something was wrong. No one spoke. All eyes were on us."The Alpha King is ill," I announced and there were murmurs of alarm amongst the pack. "It is serious. I need to go to him, and I do not know how long I will be away."A warrior near the front spoke up. "My con

Talia’s POVDella was still in the doorway, catching her breath. She walked into the room and closed the door behind her. Della looked around to see if anyone else was in the room.“No one else is in here but us,” I said. “What happened?”"Did we capture Jason?" Nolan asked.“Goddess, I wish that was what I wanted to tell you," Della said between gasps. Hearing that made a shiver run down my spine.“Della, you’re scaring me,” I said."I contacted Leslie to ask about how the research was going and whether she had made any progress,” Della began. "Leslie was telling me about it and then she mentioned that the Alpha King had been unwell. Then she stopped herself mid-sentence and asked me not to repeat it."“Unwell? Like sick? What do you mean unwell?” I asked. It was rare for our species to get sick. It didn’t make any sense."She didn’t tell me anything else. She told me to not tell you to keep you from worrying, but I thought you needed to know this,” Della replied.Nolan frowned. I co

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

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

Nolan’s POVBack in our room, Talia refused to rest.The moment we entered, she removed her coat and sat on the edge of the bed without lying down. Her eyes stayed fixed on the door as if she expected someone to walk through it at any moment."You should try to get some sleep," I said."I will afte

Jason’s POVThe Alpha King’s palace was a fortress of gleaming black stone and silver trim, far more imposing than I’d ever imagined. Viki clung to my arm as we walked up the marble steps. Her voice high-pitched with excitement as she chattered about party plans for our baby’s ceremony.I wasn’t li
