All Chapters of Second Chance for the Barren Luna: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Talia’s POVI changed quickly into a soft blue dress. I tied my hair back and put away the rosecrest necklace. My hands trembled with anxiety, not because I was excited, but because I was ready to get this over with.When I stepped out of my room, Jason was already waiting in the corridor. “You look beautiful,” he said.I rolled my eyes and walked past him. "Let's go."We walked in silence until we reached the car, waiting outside. The ride to Fangvale took only a few minutes, yet every second felt longer than it should have. Jason sat across from me, fidgeting with his cuffs as if searching for something to say. I kept my gaze on the passing streets beyond the window.Eclipse was one of Fangvale's most refined establishments. It had polished marble floors, crystal chandeliers, and gold-trimmed walls lined with portraits of Silverfang’s past rulers. The host bowed deeply when we entered. Jason had clearly reserved one of the private rooms in advance.He pulled out a chair for me. It w

Talia’s POVDella and I walked the path to the cabins for temporary residents sitting beyond a stretch of pine trees, quiet and shaded from the morning sun.“I couldn't catch up to her yesterday. She went straight to her cabin and has been there ever since. She hasn’t answered any of my messages,” Della said as we walked. “You really think she’s planning to leave?”“Solon said she’s been distant,” I replied. “She won’t speak with him.”"That's not good."“No, it isn't.”“I didn’t think she would react like this. I thought her not wanting a mate was all for show.”“If we don’t convince her to speak with him, I think Solon may spook or worse she’ll run back to Windpaw and get the Alpha to not let Solon see her,” I said.“Then, let’s make sure we convince her,” Della stated.When we reached the cabin, the front door was cracked open. We could hear movement within. I cautiously pushed the door open.Leslie stood by the bed, folding clothes into a suitcase. Her hair hung loose, and she loo

Nolan’s POVMusic pulsed from the speakers set near the main fire, and the scent of roasted meat and spice drifted through the air. The flames climbed high in the pit, throwing light across the open space where wolves laughed, danced, and flirted without restraint.I was already regretting coming. Why were all the events so loud?Marco looked around, clearly impressed. “Silverfang knows how to throw a party,” he said. “Try not to scowl too much. It ruins the mood.”I gave him a look, and he laughed. “You’ll thank me later. Just remember what we discussed. Watch your temper.”Before I could answer, someone called his name. Della appeared through the crowd. She was wearing a red dress that caught every flicker of firelight. Della smiled when she saw him.“There you are,” she said. “You promised a drink, remember?”“I did?” he asked.“You did,” she said firmly, looping her arm through his. “Come on. I’m not letting you escape.”He shot me a helpless glance. “I’ll be right back.”“Sure,”

Talia’s POVThe door burst open.Nolan let go of me in the same instant and stepped back as if nothing had happened. I wiped my tears quickly. My hands trembled, but I hid them behind my back.“What’s going on in here?” Solon asked as he stepped into the room.Leslie stirred on the couch, mumbling faintly. Nolan adjusted the blanket around her shoulders and checked her pulse as though the last few minutes had never happened.“Leslie? What’s wrong with her?” Solon asked. His eyes were fixed on Nolan. I could hear a low growl coming from Solon.Nolan noticed as well. With a raised eyebrow, Nolan backed away from Leslie. I stepped in between Nolan and Solon.“Leslie had too much to drink,” I said quickly. “She got upset because you were late, and I brought her here to rest.”Solon frowned, glancing between Nolan and me with suspicion. “You brought her here?”“Yes. She didn’t want to go back to her cabin,” I added. “Nolan was already here when I arrived.”I didn't like lying to Solon, but

Talia’s POVThe guest wing was quiet other than the sound of birds chirping from the open windows. I had planned to visit the hospital first thing in the morning. Leslie hadn’t left my mind since last night.Halfway down the hall, the door to Marco’s room and Della stepped out. She looked surprised to see me, then smiled wide and bright. I could see a fresh mate mark on her neck.“Oh, Talia, what are you doing over here in the guest wing?” Della asked. “Seems like you had a wild night,” I replied. “Congratulations.”Della touched it instinctively and grinned. “Is it that obvious?”“Yes,” I said. “So, did Marco take the initiative? Or did you make this happen?”“He did. He damn near pounced me last night,” she said, laughing under her breath. “I was just on my way to grab breakfast before he wakes up again.”“I’m happy for you both,” I said honestly. “What are you doing over here and up so early? You’re walking like you have somewhere serious to be,” Della asked again.“I’m going to
