Semua Bab Second Chance for the Barren Luna: Bab 191 - Bab 200

Talia’s POVWhen I woke up that morning, I didn't know where I was. I began to panic until my wolf whispered, 'Calm down. You're safe.'The memory of the day before came back and I relaxed. It felt surreal that I was here. Weeks ago, I would have thought a person was crazy if they told me I would be the Luna of Bloodmoon.The events of the past few days had moved so quickly that I hadn’t had time to truly process. If I just stared at the ceiling, I would have thought I was still in my room in Silverfang, but the scent of pine and iron in the air reminded me where I was.Nolan's arm tightened slightly around my waist as he started to wake up."I'm sorry. Did I wake you?" I asked."No, I've been in and out of sleep all morning," Nolan replied. “You look like you’re trying to decide if this is real."“I am,” I admitted. “Coming to Bloodmoon feels strange.”“Strange in a bad way?” he asked.“No, just really sudden,” I replied.Nolan leaned in and pressed a brief kiss to my forehead. “I ne

Talia’s POVI spent the evening exploring the wing of the pack house that Nolan used as his residence. The space was larger than I expected, but it did not feel excessive or cold. It felt lived in.What caught my attention most was the study.Shelves lined two of the walls. The shelves were packed with books of every size and binding. Some were old with their spines worn but carefully kept. Then they were well organized by region and topic.I couldn’t help but smile. “So, this is what you do when you’re not scowling at people,” I muttered as I ran my fingers along the edge of one shelf.I had not expected Nolan to be a reader. His collection was extensive and there were a few handwritten journals tucked between them.I pulled one book free and sat down in one of the chairs near the lamp. I started reading, and before I realized it, I was several chapters in. My wolf stayed quiet as she was enjoying this moment with me.Then, a noise broke the peaceful quiet moment. I could hear footst

Nolan’s POVI cupped the back of Talia’s head and kissed her back harder. I walked her backwards until her back hit the edge of the desk.“Do you like my gift?” she murmured when we broke for air.I kept my voice low. “Very much.”“You’re incredibly sexy when you’re all serious.” Talia flirted.I laughed and then kissed her again. I lifted her onto the desk. Her dress rode up revealing a black thong.Talia’s hands fumbled with the buttons on my shirt before she gave up and tore it open with her claws. She nipped at my chest as she began to unbuckle my pants. I lowered my mouth to her neck as I licked my mark on her. The mate bond hummed to life.“Nolan,” she whimpered.I ripped the thong from her with a quick tug. I plunged two fingers into her and began to pump them in and out of her.“Do not tease me,” she said, half joking, half pleading.I removed my fingers and stroked my cock slowly as I lined myself up. Then, I thrusted into her hard. Talia gasped and gripped my shoulders.“Yes

Talia’s POVI woke up late the next morning. I stretched and rolled over, reaching for Nolan, but was met with his scent and cold sheets. He had already gone to work.‘Thinking of going another round?’ my wolf teased.I sat up and froze when I saw my reflection. Dark marks stood out against my skin. I traced them, feeling that mix of happiness and shyness settle deep in my chest.‘Why are you being so shy?’ my wolf teased. "We are supposed to look alike. He is our mate, but perhaps he did too much last night. You two mated like wild beasts.’I huffed under my breath as I stood. “That is not how I would phrase it,” I muttered, though I could not deny the warmth spreading through me as I thought about how Nolan had pinned me against the desk.With Nolan by my side, this month’s heat would not feel so frightening. After the Luna ceremony, I would stand with him the way a Luna should and help him govern his pack.I chose a dress with a high collar. Even though I knew the marks were not so

Talia’s POV“They are waiting in the garden outside,” Maggie said eagerly. “They traveled so far just to see you. It would mean a great deal to them if you greeted them personally.”‘This is not right,’ my wolf growled. ‘Why are you going along with this?’‘Because I want to know how far she is willing to go with this,’ I responded.My wolf huffed. ‘We should not be reckless,’ she urged. ‘At least wait until our mate returns.’I didn’t want to wait. I wanted another opportunity to show that Maggie should not be around us. My wolf growled low within me, but I ignored her.How would I explain this to Nolan if I was wrong? It would look like I was being petty especially since Maggie apologized twice in front of witnesses. There was no reason, yet, to refuse a simple request.‘I still think this is foolish,’ my wolf grumbled.‘If this is a trap, you will reach out to Nolan immediately,’ I told her.“Luna?” Maggie said, bringing me out of my thoughts. I had not realized I had stopped walki
