Talia’s POV

The moment Jason and Viki disappeared, Marco gave the crowd a polite nod and said, “You may continue enjoying yourselves.”

But no one did.

Guests shuffled away quickly, leaving half-finished drinks and awkward glances in their wake. The music had gone quiet, and even the warm sunlight now felt oppressive. I couldn’t help but feel awful because all of this happened because of my argument with Jason and Viki.

Della and I stood in silence near a cabana, watching the last few guests leave.

I exhaled. “What just happened?”

Della didn’t answer. Her eyes were locked on the path where Marco had come from. Her body was still tense like she was bracing for a fight.

“Why are people so scared?” I asked. “ Fangvale isn’t even his territory.”

Della whipped her head toward me, eyes wide. She slapped her hand over my mouth before I could say another word.

“Don’t talk about him here,” she hissed under her breath. “Let’s go home. I’ll explain to you.”

Confused but trusting her, I followed h

    Viki’s POV“And what do you need my help with?” I asked her as I sat down on the old, stained sofa. I knew as soon as I saw her face that Talia had arrived. I just wanted Maggie to tell me.“You knew,” Maggie responded. “You knew he would bring her back.”“Bring back who? I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I said.“Yes, you do!” Maggie snapped. “The Princess. He brought back the Princess as his Luna.”“Oh Yes,” I said simply. “I knew.”Her hands clenched at her sides. “And you didn’t think to warn me?”I tilted my head slightly. “Would you have listened? I tried to tell you that you would need me, but you thought I was crazy.”“You could’ve still warned me,” Maggie said firmly.“Do not direct your anger at me,” I told her firmly. “As I didn’t take the love of your life away from you.”Maggie’s face flushed, but she did not deny it. She looked away instead as she sat down in a chair.“The way,” she muttered. “The way he looks at her. He never looked at me like that.”“I know exac

    Maggie’s POVThe moment Nolan and that woman were out of sight I finally allowed myself to show how I really felt: absolute rage and disgust.I went to my room with my hands clenched so tightly that my nails dug into my palms. I shut the door and leaned against it.How did this happen?Nolan left to make the Alpha King pay for killing his father, not come back with his daughter as his mate. On top of that, he moved that woman into his room. What about me? He felt nothing about me? Impossible!I had spent years imagining the day I would stand beside him as his Luna, and I had done it with patience. I had waited while other women whispered and tried to get close to him. While Nolan grew colder and more guarded each year, I told myself he would soften for me in the end. I just had to be patient.Then she arrived with his mark on her neck.“That bitch,” I growled and I kicked my chair across the room.‘He was never ours from the beginning,’ my wolf whispered.“No, that’s not true,” I arg

    Talia’s POVWe arrived at the Bloodmoon Pack just before dusk, and the welcome started before I even stepped out of the car. Warriors lined the path to the pack house in neat rows. They bowed as we drove by. The people behind them leaned forward to see who Alpha Nolan had brought home.“Are you ready?” Nolan asked as he parked the car.“As ready as I’ll ever be,” I replied.“Don’t worry, they’re going to love you,” Nolan said.Nolan stepped out of the car and I could hear the cheers from the pack. Bloodmoon clearly loved Nolan and were happy to see him. Nolan opened the door for me and I stepped out.The crowd erupted again.“Welcome to Bloodmoon!”The greetings were loud and respectful, and I returned them with a calm smile and a wave. Everyone was excited to see us except for one person, a young woman in the middle.She stood near the front. She wore a simple brown dress. Her black hair was pulled back into a tight bun. When she first saw Nolan, her face lit up with excitement, and

    Talia’s POV‘How long do you plan on sleeping?’ a familiar voice teased.‘As long as I want,’ I muttered.‘So, you are not happy to see me?’ the voice asked.‘What?’ I asked as I rubbed my eyes.‘Talia, wake up!’I woke with a startled gasp and then I heard a chuckle within my mind. I turned to see Nolan, still sleeping next to me.‘Did you really think it was him?’ the voice asked, amused at my confusion.Then, it clicked.My wolf was awake! She came back to me!I didn’t know if I wanted to scream in glee or cry.‘Oh, my goddess, I missed you so much,’ I told her.‘I told you I wasn’t going to leave you,’ she responded, ‘But you sure took your time bringing me back.’‘I am sorry. Things got so complicated,’ I said.“Talia?” Nolan murmured as he yawned into my hair. He pulled me closer to him. “What’s wrong?”“She’s back,” I said, my voice breathless with excitement.“Whose back?” Nolan murmured as he began drifting back to me.“My wolf! She’s really back,” I squealed.Nolan blinked a

    Talia’s POV“Lock the door." I whispered.“It’s already locked,” Nolan answered. His voice was low and controlled, but his body told a different story. I could see the tension in his hands by the way he twitched. Seeing him struggling with his resolve gave me confidence.I stepped closer, reaching for his hand. His palm was warm and rough. I guide it upward, letting his fingers brush my stomach.“You’re playing a dangerous game, Talia,” Nolan said through gritted teeth.I placed his hand on my breast.Nolan’s palm covered me fully. His thumb moved over my nipple, slow and deliberate. I let out a quiet moan and he exhaled slowly.“Make me yours,” I whispered.“Are you sure?” Nolan asked.I reached for his shirt and undo the first button. Then the next. When I leaned in and kissed his chest, I could hear him growling low in his throat. His skin tasted clean and warm. I opened more buttons, kissing as I went. His muscles tensed beneath my mouth when I bit lightly.I opened his shirt comp

    Talia’s POVJason and Michael’s banishment spread quickly.By sunset, the elders had already sent word to the neighboring packs. Some packs agreed while some seemed cautious about how the Alpha King intervened.Shadowclaw would finally have the opportunity to grow and thrive.I did not allow myself to relax. I still needed to prove that I could rule Shadowclaw. If I wanted the pack to follow me, I had to move quickly, speak clearly, and make decisions that could not be questioned.The first thing I needed to do was to decide on what to do about Henry.I met him in the main hall of the palace in front of Elders and a few warriors. I wanted my decision to be public, so no one could twist the narrative behind closed doors. The Elders had stood against me when Jason first betrayed me, I couldn’t trust them fully yet.“Princess Talia, this was an odd request. We could have met within one of our conference rooms,” one of the Elders said.I ignored the elder and turned toward Henry. He looke
