Talia’s POV

I panted hard as I stared at the three bodies on the basement floor.

Blood slicked the cracked concrete beneath them. The ropes that had been around my wrists lay in frayed coils near my feet. My arms were trembling so badly that I had to press my palms against my thighs to steady them.

I had killed them.

For a moment, my mind kept trying to push the truth away, as if I could deny it by refusing to look directly at what I had done. The sedative still dulled my senses, but the adrena

Hey everyone, Viki is really getting on our nerves, huh? 😅 I have a feeling she might be on her way out soon. What do you think? Drop a comment and let me know!

Trying to portray Talia as being a strong princess, while simultaneously having her make bad decisions is such an oxymoron. I enjoy the story, but you really should consider stopping making your heroine nothing more than a damsel in distress.

  • Second Chance for the Barren Luna   CHAPTER FOUR HUNDRED & SIXTY

    Talia’s POVI stood at the entrance of the grand hall, searching for a familiar face.But I didn’t recognize anyone. The hall was full of people chatting loudly, and kids running around. I felt out of place."Excuse me, can I help you?"A young maid walked up, holding a tray. I quickly turned and let my hair cover my face so she wouldn’t recognize me."I think I took a wrong turn," I said. "Sorry. What's going on here?""It’s the prince and princess’s fifth birthday," she said, like I should know already. "Everyone from the pack is here.""The prince and princess?" I repeated, confused. "I didn’t know there was a birthday today."She gave me a puzzled look. "You really didn’t hear? It’s all anyone’s been talking about for weeks."I tried to play it off, forcing a small smile. "Guess I must have missed it. I’m new around here.""That…makes sense,” she said. “From your clothes, it looks like you just recovered. Yes, this is a huge event for Bloodmoon every year. You should go back and g

    Nolan’s POVI shook my head. "No, nothing new," I said quietly.There was never much to say. Leslie always asked about Talia, if anything was different. Every time, the truth was the same: nothing had changed."You've done a great job with them," Leslie said. "Whatever else is on your mind, remember that.""Honestly, they practically raised themselves," I replied, trying to smile.But the truth was, raising them hadn’t been easy, no matter how I tried to downplay it. There were nights when the twins cried for their mother, and all I could do was sit there feeling guilty and helpless. I tried to hide that from everyone, but Leslie saw through it."They didn't, and you know it," Leslie said, touching my arm. "When Talia wakes up and sees those kids, she'll be so glad it was you here."Leslie squeezed my hand, just for a second. “You’re too hard on yourself, Nolan.”I managed a crooked grin. “Aren’t we all?”She snorted. “Not like you.”"I hope you're right," I murmured.Marco walked up

    Nolan’s POVThe night before the twins' birthday, I could not fall asleep. I kept thinking about Talia and how she had never had the opportunity to celebrate with them. Five birthdays, and she missed every one. My wolf tried to comfort me. ‘She’ll wake up,’ he said. ‘She has to.’ I must have dozed off, because the next thing I knew, Nyla and Elian were climbing onto my bed, both grinning and bouncing.“Dad, wake up!” Nyla said, tugging on my arm. “It’s our birthday!”Elian flopped down next to me. “Come on, Dad! We want to open presents!”I groaned, rubbing my eyes. It was still dark outside but the chirping of the birds signaled the sun would be rising any minute. “It’s too early. Go back to sleep."Nyla giggled. “Miss Clara and Aunt Annie are making your favorite breakfast. They also got fresh roses for Mom.”"I can eat later," I grumbled."Get up! Get up!" they chanted as they jumped up and down on the bed."Fine. Fine. I'm getting up," I groaned.Once I got up and dressed, we wen

    Nolan’s POVFive years went by in a blur. Talia was still in the hospital. Every morning, after getting the twins ready for school, I visited her before going to my office. I held her hand and talked about the kids or the weather, hoping she could hear me. After that, I dove into work. Everyone in the pack knew I was a workaholic again.One afternoon, while working through a pile of paperwork in my office, there was a knock at my door. Before I could say anything, the door flew open. Elian and Nyla stood in the doorway with their backpacks. Elian was already grinning, like he knew he was about to get in trouble. Nyla looked sweet and a little nervous, just like always.“You two know you’re supposed to wait for permission before coming in,” I said, raising my eyebrows. My wolf’s voice was amused in my mind: ‘Elian’s just like you were, always breaking the rules. Nyla’s the little angel.’“Sorry, Dad,” Nyla said quickly. “ I told Elian we should knock and wait, but he just barged in.”E

    Nolan’s POVWhen we got back to Bloodmoon, I took Talia straight to the best hospital room. The nurses got her settled while I pulled the doctor aside."She needs to be watched all the time—IV fluids, check on her often, everything," I said."We’ll take good care of her," the doctor promised.I sat next to Talia’s bed and brushed her hair away from her face. She was pale, her breathing slow but steady. I bent forward and whispered, "Hey, Talia. We’re home. The twins are safe, and I will take care of them until you wake. Can you hear me?”I fought back the tears. Seeing her like that hurt. Once she was settled, I picked up the twins, one in each arm. They cooed and reached for my face. I tried to smile at them."You two are tougher than you look, huh?" I whispered.At the door, I told them, "Your mom’s going to be okay. She’s just sleeping for a while."I wasn’t sure if I was saying it for them or for myself. Back at the packhouse, everything looked even emptier. I put the twins in the

  • Second Chance for the Barren Luna   CHAPTER FOUR HUNDRED & FIFTY FIVE

    Nolan’s POVAfter hours by Talia’s side, numb from crying, I sat on the edge of her bed with my head in my hands. The room was quiet except for the occasional cry from one of the twins in the nursery. I took a shaky breath and forced myself to calm down. I couldn’t fall apart now.Camilla came in. She sat down across from me, her face gentle but serious. “The coma is a side effect of the ritual. It happens, sometimes, when the body and spirit have been through so much,” she said.“Is that supposed to make me feel better?” I asked.Camilla paused before saying, “I thought it would help if you understood why it was happening.”‘Snapping at her will not help us,’ my wolf scolded.I looked up, pain twisting in my chest. “Is there anything we can do?”Camilla shook her head slowly. “Right now, all you can do is wait. Talia’s wolf needs time to recover. Maybe, when the twins are older, their blood could help awaken her. I know that sounds harsh, but it has worked before.”I nodded, swallow
