All Chapters of Second Chance for the Barren Luna: Chapter 21 - Chapter 29

Talia’s POVViki dropped to her knees, sobbing like she was the victim. “She slapped me!” she cried, still clutching her face. “I was only trying to talk to her. I was urging her to come back to Shadowclaw. I didn’t mean any harm!”I scoffed. Of course, she was using her same old tactic: twist the truth, play the pitiful card, and rely on crocodile tears to blur the facts. And just like every other time, Jason fell for it.“Is that true? Did you hit her for no reason?” Jason demanded as he stared me down, shaking me.I shoved him off me, insulted that he had to ask. “No, it’s not true, but it is not like you’re going to believe me.”Jason waved me off, refusing to hear it. “She’s pregnant, Talia! Are you out of your mind? How can you be so cruel?”“I don’t have time for this,” I said sharply, stepping back.Jason reached out like he was going to grab me again, but Della rushed to my side. She slapped his hand away and planted herself protectively at my side. “Don’t touch her again unl

Nolan’s POVFangvale wasn’t normally my kind of place. It was too loud, too many wolves. But Marco insisted. He said I needed a break from being the Alpha, that I had been cooped up too long.He wasn’t wrong.I had become short-tempered. Even the smallest irritation sent me into a rage. My wolf seemed to be restless and always pacing, further annoying me. My pack was nervous around me, and I was one step away from tearing someone’s throat out just for breathing wrong.So, I came to Fangvale. I sat in the VIP room above the main courtyard, letting the noise drift up to me. Music pounded, water splashed, and laughter echoed off the stone walls. I hated to admit that it was calming me down a bit until a sudden breeze carried a scent through the open archway.Roses.A floral scent of sweet, wild roses. My wolf finally stopped pacing after months. Then he surged forward, howling in excitement: MATE!I stood and went to the window. I scanned the pool below and found her instantly. She was a

Talia’s POVI barely slept last night, tossing and turning as my mind was filled with questions. Who was the guest important enough to spook my brother and summon warriors suddenly? As soon as sunlight entered my room, I slipped out of bed, got dressed, and quickly exited my room without waking Della, who had crashed on the couch.Outside, I wasted no time to mindlink Solon.“Solon, what happened yesterday?” I blurbed it out as the link went through. My stomach twisted in knots as I was trying not to blurt out all the questions running through my mind at once. “Alpha Nolan is here. He’s the guest,” Solon said in frustration.My heart sank and I asked, “What did he want?” I couldn’t bring myself to ask the crucial question: are we going to war?“He didn’t say,” Solon replied. “Anyways, we’re holding a banquet tonight.You will be attending too.”“A banquet?” I asked in confusion.I couldn’t shake the feeling that there was danger ahead and that’s what scared me. Alpha Nolan wasn’t acti

Jason’s POVThe phone cracked under my grip with a crunch. Pieces of plastic scattered across the floor. I stared at the broken screen, seething. “That arrogant bitch,” I growled. She had the nerve to laugh at me, ME, and then compare me to Prince Solon. That bastard didn’t even want her. He was just using her to pass the time. “She’s still refusing to come back?” Viki asked, lounging across the silk sheets of my bed. One arm was folded under the head while the other was draped over her belly. I nodded as I began to pace. “She hung up on me. Told me she would rather be Prince Solon’s discarded omega.”Viki scoffed and sat up, tossing her legs over the side of the bed. “Wow. Didn’t expect her to grow a spine. I always thought she’d slither back eventually, begging for scraps. But I see now… she thinks she can climb.” Her eyes narrowed. “Is she really trying to become Silverfang’s Luna?”“Don’t be ridiculous,” I sneered, turning to face her. “If Prince Solon made an omega his Luna, th
