All Chapters of Second Chance for the Barren Luna: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Talia’s POVI had worked hard to make sure no one noticed me tonight. I adjusted the plain apron over my maid’s uniform and joined the line of omegas standing near the kitchen doors. I lowered my head like the others. I had hoped to blend in, but unfortunately, that hope vanished the moment Solon spotted me from across the room.He was standing beside Father, greeting guests near the entrance. When his eyes landed on me, a grin spread across his face. I shook my head slightly, warning him not to draw attention. Jason and his father, Michael, entered soon after. Both looked smug and arrogant, which wasn't a good sign. Father greeted them warmly, clasping Michael’s hand like an old friend.“It is always a pleasure to see you, Michael,” Father said. “Thank you for volunteering to assist with preparations.”“Of course,” Michael replied, his tone smooth. “It is what I should do for an old friend after your unfortunate run in with rogues.”Their conversations seemed friendly to those who w

Talia’s POVNolan’s grip on the dagger tightened but he did not have the murderous glint in his eyes like he did with the rogues. Nolan really didn’t want to harm Solon if he didn’t have to. “I said, put it away!" my father's voice boomed, causing me to flinch.Nolan slowly lowered the blade and backed away from Solon. He sheathed it and stepped back. The guards quickly surrounded him. “You have crossed every line tonight, Nolan. Until I know what truly happened, you are no longer free to walk this pack’s grounds," Father said.“Are you ordering me to the dungeon?” Nolan asked. His voice was low and cold. His body was tense as if he was ready to fight. His aura flared throughout the room, almost as oppressive as my father’s.“Yes,” Father said firmly. “Beta Logan will escort you there. You’ll stay until I decide what to do with you.”“You think that dungeon will stop me?” Nolan scoffed. Then, he smirked. It wasn’t the type that would have made my heart flutter, but it made a chill c

Jason’s POVLunch with Father was usually quiet, but today he seemed almost pleased. It unnerved me how happy he was. ‘Enjoy the moment while it lasts,’ my wolf said, and I couldn’t help but agree. We had barely started eating when a firm knock came at the door. Beta Logan entered and bowed. “Alpha Jason. Elder Michael. The Alpha King has requested your presence in his office at noon,” he said.Father took a sip of his orange juice and asked, “For what reason?”“The King said he’s reached a conclusion regarding Alpha Nolan’s poisoning case,” Logan explained.“Understood,” Father said, his voice smooth. “You may tell the King we’ll be there.”Logan nodded and said, "Of course."As soon as the door closed, Father smiled and said, “It seems the King finally came to his senses.”“Honestly, I had expected the Alpha King to execute Nolan once we revealed the report. Better late than never,” I responded.Father leaned back in his chair. “With Nolan gone, Blood Moon will be in chaos and wil

Talia’s POVDella and I trained on the south practice grounds after breakfast. We started with simple combinations to warm up and then moved into defensive drills. I focused on my footing and kept my guard up. Without my wolf, I had to rely on technique.“Good,” she said, circling me. “Again. Elbow higher on the block. You drop it when you pivot.”I adjusted and repeated the move. The strike landed square on the padded post. Della nodded with approval.“You’re still a strong fighter,” she said. “You just have to work harder until your wolf returns.”I caught my breath and rolled my wrists. “Harder is fine. I just need to get used to this being my new normal.”“Don’t get too comfortable with it. Your wolf will be back in no time. If not before, then after the ceremony. Once you find your mate and complete the bond, she’ll come back. You know that,” Della said.“I know, I know. That’s what the doctor keeps saying,” I said.“We have records and elders who have lived through this,” Della

Talia’s POVI spent the morning in Solon’s office helping him organize letters from the other packs. His desk was buried under envelopes. I opened them one by one, read the contents, and sorted them into neat piles according to arrival dates.“How many so far?” Solon asked.“Almost thirty,” I said. “Half of them will arrive the day of the Sacrifice Ceremony, and the rest will arrive the day before. Some of them sent gifts too. I don’t even know where we’re going to store all of this.”“That happens every year. The wealthier the Alpha, usually the more generous the gift,” Solon stated.“So, every year each pack tries to gain Father’s favor?” I asked.“Yes,” Solon replied. “Every pack wants the same thing: an alliance through marriage if their Alpha hasn’t found their Luna yet. They come to the Sacrifice Ceremony to find mates or be provided with a chosen mate. It’s the fastest way to strengthen their position. The difference this time is that they’re trying to win the Alpha King’s daug
