Nolan’s POV

“No, no, I can’t agree to that. Leslie confirmed that the potion was real. We shouldn’t think about something that isn’t going to happen,” I said.

“Do not underestimate Jason,” Rudolf argued.

“I set the conditions myself. Twenty guards would monitor him if he played dirty games. If he moves or rogues approach tomorrow, he dies. I have made it as airtight as I could,” I told him.

“I know you have, and I am grateful for the way you have handled it. But I have known Jason longer than a

    Nolan’s POV“No, no, I can’t agree to that. Leslie confirmed that the potion was real. We shouldn’t think about something that isn’t going to happen,” I said.“Do not underestimate Jason,” Rudolf argued.“I set the conditions myself. Twenty guards would monitor him if he played dirty games. If he moves or rogues approach tomorrow, he dies. I have made it as airtight as I could,” I told him.“I know you have, and I am grateful for the way you have handled it. But I have known Jason longer than any of you have, and I knew his father before him, and I have never trusted either of them.”I looked at Solon as he stepped inside. One glance told me he already knew the dilemma I was facing, and I instinctively looked to him for support. Surely, he wouldn’t agree with what the King was asking of me.“He’s right, Nolan,” Solon said.“Solon, you can’t be serious,” I replied, stunned.Solon looked conflicted but shrugged. "I don’t like it either, but I agree with father."Leslie, who had entered

    Nolan’s POV“Of course I do,” Talia responded.“Then, let him rest,” Leslie pleaded. Her eyes met mine over Talia’s head, and she gave me the smallest nod. I understood. I put my arm around Talia’s shoulders and turned her gently away from the door.“Talia. Come on. Let’s go.”“Nolan, I want to see him.”“You will see him tomorrow anyways.”Talia hesitated. Solon said, "Don’t stress, Talia. Leslie and I will watch over him. If he wakes, we’ll tell you."“You promise?”“I promise,” Solon said, and Leslie nodded.Talia let me turn her, but she did not move her feet at first. I waited. After a moment, she took the first step on her own, and I walked her back down the corridor with her weight half against my side.We ate in our room. Talia said little but ate everything. I felt her anxiety through the mate bond. I turned on the shower for her.“Nolan, I’m not in the mood,” she said as I helped her out of her clothes."Just shower. Take all the time you need," I said, guiding her in.Whil

    Talia’s POV"Fine. I’ll have him tell everyone in the receiving hall," I said. “Then, you will be escorted to the border where you will never come back.”“No, that won’t work,” Jason responded."What do you mean? I agreed," I shot back. I was already agreeing to what he demanded. What more did he want?“I trust you, Talia, but not them.” Jason pointed to Nolan and Solon. “Your father has to do it at the border, not under the same roof as everyone who wants me dead. Think of it as a way to ensure my survival in all this. I’m sure you understand.”My wolf growled within me, ‘We can not trust him. Every word he speaks is a lie.’Jason was smart to ask for this. He was right to believe that they would go back on their word. Alpha Landon and Colin were two wild cards who would kill him given the chance. On the other hand, my father was still in the ER, hooked up to tubes. His condition was fragile; any attempt to move him even a short distance meant risking a sudden drop in blood pre

    Jason’s POVHope flashed across Talia's face when Leslie spoke, and I almost smiled. Seeing that tremor of hope, I was filled with a dark satisfaction. That was exactly what I wanted. I wanted her to feel just enough hope for her father that I could savor crushing it. Everything was still going according to plan.Talia’s entrance said it all. She looked frantic, struggling to keep herself together. She was desperate. Something had gone wrong, and now she had no choice but to consider my demands.I put the cork back in the vial and held it up between my fingers, watching her eyes follow it. Her jaw tightened and her lips pressed together. I pretended to drop it, just to catch that flicker of panic in her eyes. Her breath hitched, a small tremor showing her fear.“That should clear me up as a traitor, right?” I asked.Solon scoffed. “You have done nothing but murder since you were exiled. Do you really think you can bargain your way out of avoiding punishment for what you have done?”“T

    Talia’s POVMy father looked even worse than yesterday. The scent of death lingered in the room. It made the hair on the back of my neck stand on end.IV tubes ran from my father’s arm and chest to the machines by his bed. The only sound was the slow, steady beep of the monitor, each tone making the silence feel heavier. His hat was gone, revealing his silver hair, damp and stuck to his forehead. His skin looked ghostly pale and almost waxy.For once, my wolf had nothing comforting to say. She paced inside me, restless. Her silence only made my dread worse.I stood in the doorway and could not make myself walk in.“Leslie, what happened to him? He was fine this morning. He hosted the entire Harvest Gathering. Why did he decline so fast?” I questioned.Leslie stood by the bed, holding a chart. She didn’t answer, just kept reading as her brow furrowed deeper. “Leslie! Answer me!” I demanded.Nolan came in behind me and put his arm around my shoulders, holding me against his side.“Tali

    Talia’s POV“I have already handled the rogue attacks on my territory,” Kent explained. “I will manage the restoration of my pack myself. I see no need to trouble the Alpha King with what is properly my own concern. I am sure there are other packs that will require your aid more than I.”Henry turned to Kent, surprise etched across his face. Landon’s jaw flexed, and his nose flared in anger. Solon shot a worried glance at me. The other Alphas all looked visibly agitated. We were all thinking the same thing. The silent accusation was simple.Traitor.Kent must think we were fools if he thought we would believe a wolfless Alpha of a small pack could repel a rogue attack the same size that nearly crippled Lonefur and almost killed its Alpha. Even if he was no longer loyal to my father, it made no sense to refuse help. Refusal would only bring more attention unless the rogue attack never happened. Suddenly, the idea of Kent working for his own gain, playing both sides for reasons we coul
