Second Chance for the Barren Luna CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED & SIXTY SEVEN
Talia’s POVMichael moved to put himself between us and the back of the safehouse with his arm raised. He was about to say something, but Nolan was on him in minutes. Michael slammed hard into his wall with an audible crunch. At least three of his ribs were broken.Michael stood up slowly with one hand pressed to his side. His breathing labored through his gritted teeth. He tried to put on a brave face, but he was clearly in pain. No matter his experience, Michael was still an old man and could not withstand blows from Nolan who was in his prime.‘No, no, he deserves this. Don’t take pity on him,’ my wolf growled.‘I’m not, but if Nolan kills him before we get the antidote, that defeats the purpose of finding him,’ I said."Give us the antidote, right now!” I demanded.“Why would you…” Confusion and then genuine surprise crossed Michael’s face before he frowned. “Alpha King is still alive, isn’t he?! That bastard Robin dared to lie to me!”"You have learned nothing from your decisions
Second Chance for the Barren Luna CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED & SIXTY SIX
Jason’s POVThree days passed and there was still no word from Robin.My father was not concerned while I was all nervous. I chewed on my nails while fidgeting in my chair. My father slammed his book down on the table and snapped, “Stop with that annoying tapping of your feet. You’re giving me a headache.”“How can you be so calm?” I asked.“Because I know Robin will not betray us. We have his daughter. He’d be even more of a fool if he believed I would not harm that girl if he disobeyed,” Father replied."But he has not reported whether the second attempt was a success. Something could’ve gone wrong,” I argued."He is being careful," my father stated. "The palace will be on alert after the first attempt. He cannot afford to move quickly.""Or he has been caught.”“Enough of your delusions,” my father snapped. “Robin will do what needs to be done.”The following day Robin arrived. Robin looked like a man who had barely escaped death. He was thinner than the last time I had seen him an

Talia’s POV"My wolf thinks he was coerced," I told Nolan once we were outside in the corridor."It would also explain why torture did not work," Nolan said. "He is afraid of what Michael will do to whoever he is protecting, which is scarier than anything we could do to him.”“We need to figure out who he could be protecting,” I replied.“Does he have a mate?” Nolan asked.“To be honest, I am not sure. I never took the opportunity to get to know him as he was my father’s personal confidante,” I explained. It felt odd saying that now. I would make it a point to get to know all pack members moving forward."Then we should review the servant records. If Robin has family, we will find it there,” Nolan recommended."Yes," I agreed. "Let’s go. We don’t have any time to waste."The archive entrance was in the east wing of the palace, past a set of heavy doors with two guards posted at either side. One of them stepped forward when he saw Nolan approach. The other gripped his shoulder to pull

Talia’s POVSolon brought Ryan to us that same evening.Ryan was a trusted guard that had served Silverfang since we were children. He was not a large man, but he made up for it with speed and strength."Who is this?" Nolan asked."This is Ryan. He is one of our senior guards. He can be trusted," Solon answered. "Tell him what you need.""Someone inside the palace has betrayed our father," I said and Ryan's eyes widened. I saw anger flash in his eyes before he composed himself. He did not say a word, waiting for me to continue. "We did not know who. We need you in my father's room, positioned where you will not be seen from the doorway. We need you to wait until you see the traitor.""What should I do when I catch the person?" Ryan asked."Restrain them," I replied. "Do not let them leave and do not let them destroy whatever they brought in. I need to know what it was.""Understood," he said.We positioned him that night, behind the curtain near the far wall. The room's layout worked

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 POVThe morning sun beat down on the training grounds, warm but not yet oppressive. Della stood beside me with a bow in hand.“Focus, Talia,” she said, her tone smug as the string creaked. She released, and the arrow thudded just outside the painted ring. “Damn it.”I chuckled and pulled my

Talia’s POVThe bedroom door shut behind us, and the sound cut off the noise from the party like a switch. I turned to Nolan immediately. I grabbed his shirt and pulled him down into a kiss.He froze for half a second, and then he kissed me back. His hands came up to my shoulders like he was trying

Nolan’s POVThe ceremony grounds were already full by 8am. Every Alpha from the major packs had gathered. Their banners displayed along the outer walls in multiple shades of silver, gold, crimson, and blue. Strings of lights hung between the old pines. Their glow catching on polished stone and silv
