CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED & SIXTY

Nolan’s POV

I woke up with my heart pounding and sweat clinging to the back of my neck. For a moment, I didn’t know where I was. It took another second before the nightmare faded enough for me to think straight.

It wasn’t about my father this time. It was about Talia. She was on the ground, pinned beneath Jason with his teeth at her neck. In the dream, I arrived too late. I saw his fangs sink into her skin.

Rage burned in my chest at the very idea of Jason marking her.

I pushed myself upright and ran a hand across my face. My wolf snarled inside me. He was restless and angry.

‘You should have killed him,’ my wolf growled. ‘You should finish what you started before he gets free.’

“No,” I muttered. “I will not take away Talia’s chance for vengeance.”

‘No, he is too much of a threat,’ my wolf growled.

I ignored him and stood. The cold floor shocked my senses, allowing me to focus. I dressed quickly and stepped out of my room. Marco was waiting in the hall instead of entering my room.

Marco glanced at me before offering me his cup of coffee. “You look terrible. Rough night?” he said.

“Nightmare,” I said.

“About your father?” he asked.

“Not this time,” I answered.

Marco raised an eyebrow, but he didn’t push. “Jason is locked in the dungeon. Solon made sure he was held without visitors.”

My wolf let out a low sound of satisfaction at that, but it wasn’t enough. Jason needed to be dealt with before he could come up with a plan with his father.

‘Rip out his throat,’ my wolf suggested. “Then, we will know he’s handled.’

I pushed him down again. If I let him keep talking, I would stop thinking clearly. “I need to know if Talia is alright,” I said.

Marco nodded. “She was emotionally unstable when she woke up yesterday.”

“What do you mean?” I asked.

“She cried a lot which is understandable given the situation,” Marco explained. “She demanded to leave the hospital, Solon and Della had trouble calming her down.”

The urge to go to her to comfort her was strong, but I knew she needed space. I couldn’t rush in and force that type of intimacy.” Where is she now?”

“On her way to the Alpha King’s office, She looked calmer,” Marco said.

“That means she is going to decide what to do with Jason,” I said.

“That is what it looked like,” Marco said. “It is a good thing they’re moving fast on this,”

“Not fast enough,” I growled. “If I was the Alpha King, his head would be on a spike right now.”

“Given her personality, she would probably fight you on that. She is too kind for her own good. I am sure she is going to ask for leniency on his behalf for the sake of alliances,” Marco continued.

Of course she would. Even after everything she had been through, Talia never put herself first. She was the one who had been

taken advantage of. Talia didn’t need to worry about alliances. Everyone would understand her wanting her pound of flesh from Jason.

‘You should kill him before she forgives him,’ my wolf suggested.

“I am not going to kill Jason in Silverfang,” I said. “Not when it would put Talia in an even worse position.”

‘You always act like you know what is best for her,’ my wolf snorted.

“And you’re not any better,” I shot back.

‘At least I don’t lie about it. You don’t even listen to her,’ my wolf argued.

“Enough,” I snapped.

Marco cleared his throat. “You’re talking to your wolf aloud again.”

“We are not in agreement on this,” I said.

“Clearly,” Marco stated, “You two should not get involved with Silverfang’s internal decisions. Prince Solon is protective of her. The Alpha King will make the final call. If you interfere, they will take it as an insult.”

“I am not interfering with the decision,” I said. “I just want to ensure that he doesn’t break out. I want guards assigned to the dungeon. Not Silverfang, ours. I want at least three men watching the entrance at all times. No one gets close to Jason.”
