Jason’s POVI woke to a sharp pain behind my eyes and pain in my back. The sunlight that slipped through the curtains made my head throb. I realized I was on the floor, and I didn’t know how I got back to my room.My memories came back slowly as I brushed my teeth. I remember begging Talia to take me back. Then, Nolan choked me. I could see the bruises on my neck were slowly healing.There was a knock at my door.“Alpha Jason?” Henry said as he entered.“Yeah,” I said, sitting up slowly. “Come in.”“You look terrible,” he said.“You always know how to brighten a day,” I muttered, rubbing my temples.“How much did you drink?”“Enough to regret my decisions,” I groaned. “What’s going on? Why are you here so early?” “It’s 2pm.” Henry crossed the room and placed a folded note on the table. “Your father left for Shadowclaw before dawn. He told me to remind you of your purpose here.”I grunted. “Let me guess. Win Talia back.”“Yes. He expects you to make sure she marries you,” Henry said.

Talia’s POVBoth men fell silent at my words. The guards stood alert while keeping a careful distance. Jason responded first saying, “Hey, I came to ask you out.”“Out of the question,” Nolan growled.Jason did not look at him when he said, “I was not asking you.”I could feel Nolan’s Alpha aura rolling off him. The guards exchanged a glance. I was not interested in watching them fight each other.“Why? You have already apologized multiple times. What’s more to say?” I asked.“There is something that I need to tell you in private. We can go into Fangvale. It’ll be neutral ground,” Jason replied.“It is ridiculous. She already told you no. You need to go home,” Nolan interjected.I frowned at Nolan trying to control the situation. I remembered Colin’s plan when he said: “Keep your distance from Nolan. He’ll reveal his feelings in time.” This was my chance to show him I could hold the boundary, no matter how confusing his signals were.“Since I already spent time with Nolan at the bonfi

Nolan’s POVI used the mind link the moment I stepped out of the café with Talia in my arms. Marco answered immediately. ‘Alpha?’‘Find Solon and Leslie. Tell them to meet me at the hospital right now,’ I said. ‘Talia is in trouble. Then, come to the café and get Jason’s drink. You need to bring it to the hospital for a checkup.’‘What happened?’ Marco asked.‘Jason drugged her,’ I responded. ‘He forced her heat to come early.’I could feel Marco’s anger through the link and he responded, ‘I will handle it.’I closed the link and focused on carrying Talia to my car. Her skin burned against my neck, and her breath shook with each inhale. She had stopped kissing me and had fallen unconscious. Talia continued to mutter my name. Every part of me wanted to bring her back to my room and claim her, but I knew she would never accept me if I took advantage of her.Two guards met me in the parking lot and escorted me to the hospital. They opened the doors the second they saw us. I stepped insid

Talia’s POVI sat on the edge of the hospital bed and hated Jason with a passion I had never felt before. The anger sat heavy in my chest and made it hard to breathe. Every part of me felt wrong, and I could not shake the memory of his hands on me or the way my body had responded while I had no control.Goddess, I wish it had been Nolan touching me.I wanted to get out of bed and leave the hospital for a shower, but when I pushed myself up, my legs gave out. My knees hit the mattress instead of the floor only because Solon reached me in time and pulled me back up.“You’re not steady yet,” he said.“I don’t want to stay here,” I said. “I need to leave. I need to shower. I need-”I collapsed again and hated how weak I felt, but the weakness made my decision even stronger. I needed to go home. I needed to wash every trace of Jason off my skin.“I’m calling Della,” Solon said. “You shouldn’t go anywhere alone.”I nodded. I stared at the floor and tried to breathe steadily. The longer I sa

Talia’s POVI stared at him as I did not know how to respond. “Do you want Nolan?” Colin asked again.“I don’t know… I lost control of myself. It wasn’t right,” I muttered.“That’s not what I asked you,” Colin said.My mouth opened, but no answer came out. I had no idea how to explain it. For a moment, I couldn’t look at him.“I… am not sure,” I said finally.“You do not have to answer now,” Colin said. “I only want you to think about it. Ask yourself why you felt ashamed when you realized it was Jason and not Nolan.”I looked down at my hands. I forced myself to relax. Colin wasn’t judging me. He just wanted to help me sort out my thoughts.Colin went on, “It is a right thing that Nolan is the one who saved you.”I looked up again. “Why would you say that?”“Because he did what a decent man should do,” Colin said. “He pulled Jason off you and brought you to the hospital. He did not touch you while you were vulnerable and in heat.”I frowned. I didn’t even remember Nolan rescuing me
