Jason’s POV

The video loaded slowly, and for a moment, I hoped it had been taken down. Viki’s face appeared on the screen. Her eyes were still red and puffy. Her makeup was caked on and deliberately smudged in the right places. Her hands trembled as she stared into the camera.

“Goddess, she’s trying to look as pathetic as possible for sympathy,” Della snorted.

“I want to apologize,” she began, her voice cracking. “to Luna Talia for everything I’ve said and done.”

Della rolled her eyes beside me

Right?! Just letting this drag on for plot is actually annoying. Just one news article of "Princess returns" with a picture of the royal family at the party would have stopped the nonsense before it even got going. The writer makes the royal family look dumb and weak.

Okay, it's time for the royal palace to issue their own press release and reveal her true identity!

  • Second Chance for the Barren Luna   CHAPTER FOUR HUNDRED

    Talia’s POVWhen I came back to the packhouse, I stood for a moment on the front steps. Sunlight shone through the trees, leaving bright patterns on the porch. I listened to the laughter and quick footsteps of pups playing somewhere behind the house.‘No point in sleeping now,’ my wolf said. ‘Our mate will be suspicious.’‘Then, we’ll get something to eat and some coffee,’ I suggested as we entered the pack house.I went straight to the kitchen. Clara was there, moving fast between the pantry and the counter. Her hair was tied back, sleeves rolled up and dusted with flour and turmeric.“Good morning, Luna. You’re up early,” Clara greeted, pausing when she noticed me. “You know, you can sleep in from time to time. No one expects you to be up this early. It’s not like anything is happening right now anyway.”I sat down, jittery about tonight. My fingers tapped the table. “Don’t worry, Clara. I just woke up early. That’s all.”“If you say so, Luna,” Clara responded.I changed the subject

  • Second Chance for the Barren Luna   CHAPTER THREE HUNDRED & NINETY NINE

    Talia’s POVNolan had been unconscious for almost the entire day from the sedative, but he still crashed right after dinner. He stretched out on the bed and started snoring, finally relaxed. I lay awake for hours, replaying everything Arya said.Arya didn’t mean to hurt me, but her words stuck. The more I thought about it, the more I realized she was right. I hadn’t always made the best choices as Luna. Losing my father haunted me the most. Maybe things would be different if I’d been smarter or braver.I watched Nolan sleep, calm and peaceful. I wondered if he ever doubted himself like I did. Probably not. He always seemed sure of himself.‘I am sure he does,’ my wolf said.‘He always gets it right,’ I sighed.‘Nobody can always get it right, not even our mate,’ my wolf replied. ‘We have Moonfire, not the ability to see the future. You chose what you considered to be the best way in the past. Your father knew that you had good intentions.’I wanted to believe her, but regret wouldn’t

  • Second Chance for the Barren Luna   CHAPTER THREE HUNDRED & NINETY EIGHT

    Talia’s POV“I need to speak to her now,” Nolan said. “What? Why?” I blurted, unable to hide my apprehension.“I need to set things straight with her,” Nolan replied. “As her Alpha.” I hesitated. “Nolan, I’ve already ordered Walden to punish her,” I said. “Maybe this can wait? Allow yourself more time to recover.”Nolan didn't listen. He swung his legs off the bed. When I tried to help him stand, he gently moved my hand away and stood up as if he hadn’t been unconscious only moments ago. “No. It has to be now,” he said. I was worried, but I could tell he was set on this.“Okay, then,” I relented.We headed outside after leaving the hospital. Nolan seemed alright, but I kept looking over at him just to be sure.“Stop staring, Talia. I am not going to collapse,” Nolan finally said. “You can’t blame me for checking,” I said. “You should be in bed right now. We don’t know if there are any side effects.”“I promise that I am okay,” Nolan reassured. “I just…I didn’t want this to linger.

  • Second Chance for the Barren Luna   CHAPTER THREE HUNDRED & NINETY SEVEN

    Nolan’s POVI woke up under the harsh hospital lights, everything around me blurry and strange. My head throbbed with a dull ache, and my memories floated just out of reach. What happened? The last thing I remember was talking to Arya by a stream. How did I end up here?‘We are safe. Our mate has been watching over us,’ my wolf said. As he reassured me, I realized someone was next to me. I turned my head to see Talia holding my hand. She looked relieved to see me awake.“Talia?” My voice came out rough. My throat was dry. “What happened? Were we attacked? Where is Arya?”“No, you’re okay. Arya is fine,” Talia said.I slowly sat up, and Talia gave me a cup of water. I drank it down and then a second cup before I said, “If nothing happened, why am I in the hospital?”“First, tell me what you remember. How did Arya’s shift ceremony go?”Her question caught me off guard. I tried to remember. “It went well. Arya finished her shift without any problems. I helped her. She was nervous, but sh

    Talia’s POVArya moved so quickly that I barely dodged her first attack. It was like she was trying to end the fight before it really began.‘Focus,’ my wolf snapped, and I barely dodged her attempt to sweep my legs. I jumped back, and her kick missed me by inches.Arya didn’t give me a chance to recover as she pressed forward. I blocked a jab, but she spun, and her elbow hit my shoulder. I stayed on the defensive as she never slowed, and every move was sharp and precise. Walden had made her the youngest deputy warrior, and now I saw why.The bell rang, ending the first round. I hadn’t landed a single hit. Arya smirked, barely out of breath, while I tried to catch mine and shook out my hands. I tasted blood on my lip from her lucky punch. My wolf inside me growled, ‘She’s fast, but she’s predictable. Stay defensive and learn her patterns.’Arya gave me a cocky grin. “Not bad,” she taunted. “But you’ll have to do better than that.”I wiped my mouth and gave a sharp smile. “Don’t get co

  • Second Chance for the Barren Luna   CHAPTER THREE HUNDRED & NINETY FIVE

    Talia’s POVAs we left the dungeon, no one spoke. When we reached the stairs, Walden stopped so suddenly that Della almost ran into him. “I’m sorry. I should have known Arya would try something like that.”“How could you have known?” “I…”“There was no way you could’ve known what she’d do,” I continued before he fully responded. “You can't take responsibility for this. She's an adult now."He nodded, still unsure. “Still, I should’ve seen the signs. I don’t know why she changed like this.”“Make sure the guards who saw what happened keep quiet. No one else needs to know,” I said. “We will handle this discreetly.” “As you wish, Luna,” Walden stated and then went back to speak with the guards in the dungeon.Della joined my side as I walked back to the hospital. “You do not need to fight her. I could do it for you.”“And then she won’t give us the antidote,” I said. “We can always ask Leslie,” Della suggested. “Leslie has enough to be worried about that and don’t you dare contact he
