Nolan’s POVTalia did not react with anger when Walden spoke. I saw the surprise in her eyes, but she did not let it show beyond that first flicker. My wolf growled within me. He did not like how Walden was talking to Talia, but Talia had to hold her own in front of them.“Luna,” I said evenly, “this is Walden. He is my Chief Warrior.”Walden inclined his head a fraction in acknowledgment.“Chief Warrior Walden,” Talia said calmly, “There is no need for the jab. If you have an issue with my proposal, this is what you’re here for. Explain your reasoning.”Walden raised an eyebrow at Talia’s reaction as if he didn’t expect Talia to respond in a professional manner.“Winter is approaching,” he said. “The harsh season always weakens supply lines and strains manpower. Construction of a wall across the plains will require significant warrior presence for at least a month. During that time, our fighting force will be divided between defense and labor.”Some of the pack members began to nod t

Talia’s POVHow dare he just leave while I was still talking?‘Please calm down. He is doing this for our benefit,’ my wolf said in an attempt to calm me down.‘You’re supposed to be on my side,’ I growled.‘I am, but he’s right. We just recovered. Let him handle this,’ my wolf urged, but I ignored her. I was not going to allow him to treat me like a child. I allowed my ex to take control when he returned, and the pack turned on me. I would not allow that to happen again.‘But Nolan is not like that. He…’ I pushed my wolf down midsentence. I quickly moved to leave the room, but Della stepped in front of the door.“Della, what are you doing?” I asked.“You can’t leave,” Della said.“Move,” I told her.“No.”“There is a riot at the border. I need to be there,” I told her.“And Alpha Nolan ordered you to stay here,” Della argued.“Della! You are my Beta not his,” I snapped.“I made a promise to protect the pack just like you did. Nolan is now my Alpha too, and it is my responsibility to

Talia’s POV“Are you still upset with me?” Nolan teased.“No, but you better be on your best behavior,” I said as I sat down for breakfast. Only a few minutes later, Della and Marco strolled in.“So, you two seem okay. That means Talia probably didn’t have you sleep on the couch last night,” Della teased.“No, but I have my eye on him,” I said. “What are you two doing here?”“We thought we could eat breakfast together,” Della suggested.Clara had just placed the last plate in front of us. Breakfast has just started, so it was fine with Della and Marco joining us. “Clara, please bring two more sets of utensils.”“Yes, Luna,” she replied and hurried back toward the kitchen.Della dropped into the chair across from me. “It’s much livelier to eat together,” she said as she glanced at the spread on the table. “And this looks good.”“It does,” Marco added, taking his seat beside her.I smiled. “You’re both welcome to join us more often.”Nolan looked at me in exaggerated disappointment. “I

Maggie’s POVMason closed the distance between us and kissed me again. I kissed him back earnestly. His hands roamed my body before resting on my waist. My hands moved to his shoulders. His grip tightened at my waist. I knew that anyone could turn the corner and see us behind the supply crates, but I did not pull away.When he broke the kiss, we were both breathing heavily.“Why did you leave without saying goodbye?” Mason asked.I stepped back, putting space between us. I blushed at the question. ‘See…he did like us. We should never have left like that,’ my wolf muttered within me.“It was a one-night stand,” I said. “I didn’t think it was anything more than that.”“It meant more to me,” Mason responded.I shook my head. “We were both drinking. I was upset. We rushed into things. That is not the right way to start a relationship.”“You decided that alone. You didn’t even take my feelings into consideration,” Mason said.I didn’t know what to say. He was right. To be honest, I wanted

Talia’s POVMaggie’s eyes widened before she began blushing. She looked away and said, “I wouldn’t call him my mate just yet.”“I knew it!” Della exclaimed. “So, that’s why you were late.”Maggie nodded as she nervously twisted her fingers in front of her. “Yes, but I promise it won’t happen again.”“We don’t care about all that. Who is he?” Della said.“What is his name? What is his rank?” I asked.Della leaned forward slightly. “Bring him over. We want to see the man that has captured your heart.” I nudged Della in the side for being sarcastic.Maggie’s cheeks flushed deeper. “He’s just an ordinary warrior. He is busy working on the wall right now.”“That’s fine,” Della replied. “We just want to see him.”“I’m not…I’m not ready to introduce him,” Maggie said quickly. “Maybe once the wall has been built.”I studied her expression. She looked nervous but happy. This was not my reaction when I met my fated mate.“Is he your fated mate?” I asked.Maggie shook her head and said, “No.”“W
