Second Chance for the Barren Luna (Talia and Jason) novel Chapter 134

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED & THIRTY FOUR 

Nolan’s POV 

I couldn’t wait for this day to be over. 

I had been assigned to go on patrol with Solon. It was clear neither one of us wanted this. Even though I made peace with the Alpha King, Solon still held a grudge. 

Solon walked beside me, scrolling through something on his phone before tucking it into his jacket. “You know,” he said, breaking the silence, “you were supposed to file your last report two days ago.” 

“I was busy,” I replied. “The western fence sensor was down. I stayed behind to fix it.” 

He sighed. “You don’t need to do everything yourself, Alpha Nolan. That’s why you have patrol teams. You could’ve told someone else to handle it.” 

“That’s how mistakes happen. I saw it, I fixed it. Your warriors need to learn how to do that as well,” I said simply. 

Solon muttered something other than his breath. I decided not to antagonize him. I focused on the birds chirping in the trees. 

We walked a few more steps in silence before he added, “You’re lucky my father’s in a good mood. After tomorrow, once the ritual’s done, you’ll be free to leave Silverfang.” 

I stopped mid-stride. “You think I want to leave?” 

He shrugged. “You’ve done nothing but glare and antagonize at us since you got here. Trust me, no one’s going to stop you.” 

Before I could respond, the wind picked up and it brought a familiar scent. Solon noticed it too. He turned around to see someone stepping out from between the trees. It was Jason. He looked annoyed as he approached us. 

“Alpha Jason? What are you doing here?” Solon asked, clearly irritated. “You’re supposed to be with your pack, not wandering through restricted areas.” 

“Do you know where Talia is?” Jason asked. “Because I do.” 

I felt my pulse quicken. “What about her?” 

“She went out with Colin, the Alpha from Moonbrook. They’re at the waterfall together. He called it a date,” Jason replied. 

My stomach tightened. “A date?” I repeated slowly. 

“I’m not talking to you,” Jason said coldly. 

‘The little rat. We still need to make him pay for setting us up,’ my wolf growled. Before I could respond, Solon cut in. 

“So, what is the problem?” Solon asked. 

“You should probably send guards to check on her before it gets dark. That trail isn’t exactly safe,” Jason snapped. 

“She’s fine,” Solon said firmly before I could speak. “Alpha Colin knows the area. I trust him.” 

“You trust too easily. What if…” 

“It doesn’t matter what you think, Jason,” Solon snapped, cutting him off. “You need to learn to mind your own business. Aren’t you supposed to be getting ready to try to pursue my sister? How are you supposed to do that if you keep running in behind Talia?
