Second Chance for the Barren Luna (Talia and Jason) novel Chapter 100

Nolan’s POV

Three days had passed, and Talia still had not woken up. The reports were always the same. She was stable, but she remained unconscious.

‘We need to be with her. If we were by her side, she would wake,’ my wolf pouted.

I hated feeling helpless.

I gritted my teeth. The memory of my hand wrapped around Viki’s neck haunted me. I should have killed her right then and there. I had chosen to spare her, believing she would not live long as a rogue, certain the Silverfang warriors would find her. Unfortunately, they were more incompetent than I thought. Now, Viki was free, hidden, and still dangerous while Talia still lay unconscious in her hospital bed. Regret gnawed at me each time I replayed the moment.

‘You will eventually learn to listen to me, you stubborn fool’, my wolf scolded.

The Alpha King had been true to his word. He stationed guards at every entrance to the hospital, making it impossible for me to enter. His orders were strict, not only against me but against anyone who disturbed her recovery.

I found some satisfaction in the fact that Jason had been turned away by Solon too. The guards had spoken of it quietly.

“You missed it,” one chuckled.

“Yes, Prince Solon flung him out of the doors like trash,” another laughed.

“Serves the pompous fool right. He was unworthy of our Princess,” another added.

The gossip died down quickly when they noticed me listening.

Not long after, Marco came to me, frustrated but with more information than the Silverfang warriors had managed to gather.

“What did you find out?” I asked.

“Viki must have used a spray to hide her scent,” Marco explained. “It is an herbal tincture used by rogues to move between pack territories. That is why no one can track her.”

So, Viki must have made ties with a rogue pack. The thought unsettled me. There was no telling what other schemes she had planned.

“Inform the Alpha King of what you found. They should know the tactics that rogue wolves are using,” I said.

“I will report to him now,” Marco replied before leaving.

Another day passed without change. The lack of good news about Talia left me restless, each hour dragging longer than the last. I couldn’t keep waiting—I had to see her with my own eyes.

I went to Marco’s room in the morning. If anyone could find a way to help Talia, it would be him. His knowledge of herbs and medicine often uncovered solutions others overlooked.

I stepped inside without knocking and was surprised to see Della seated at his table in a nightgown. She fumbled quickly to put on a robe and snapped, “Do you know how to knock?”

Marco greeted me as he exited his bathroom. He sat down next to Della, looping an arm around her waist. “Good morning, Alpha Nolan,” he said and then noticed my expression. “You look restless. Did something happen?”

“I came to speak with you,” I replied. My gaze flicked briefly to Della. “But I came back at another time.”
