Second Chance for the Barren Luna (Talia and Jason) novel Chapter 188

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED & EIGHTY EIGHT

Talia’s POV

‘How long do you plan on sleeping?’ a familiar voice teased.

‘As long as I want,’ I muttered.

‘So, you are not happy to see me?’ the voice asked.

‘What?’ I asked as I rubbed my eyes.

‘Talia, wake up!’

I woke with a startled gasp and then I heard a chuckle within my mind. I turned to see Nolan, still sleeping next to me.

‘Did you really think it was him?’ the voice asked, amused at my confusion.

Then, it clicked.

My wolf was awake! She came back to me!

I didn’t know if I wanted to scream in glee or cry.

‘Oh, my goddess, I missed you so much,’ I told her.

‘I told you I wasn’t going to leave you,’ she responded, ‘But you sure took your time bringing me back.’

‘I am sorry. Things got so complicated,’ I said.

“Talia?” Nolan murmured as he yawned into my hair. He pulled me closer to him. “What’s wrong?”

“She’s back,” I said, my voice breathless with excitement.

“Whose back?” Nolan murmured as he began drifting back to me.

“My wolf! She’s really back,” I squealed.

Nolan blinked awake, confusion flickering across his face before he realized what I was saying. Then, he smiled as if he was as relieved as I was.

“That’s good,” he said quietly. “I was wondering when she’d decide to stop hiding.”

‘I did not hide. It is his fault I disappeared in the first place,’ my wolf huffed. ‘But I forgive him anyway.’

I laughed and buried my face against his shoulder. “She says she forgives you.”

“Good because my wolf would give me hell if she didn’t,” Nolan replied, his voice warm with humor.

My wolf hummed contentedly as Nolan’s hand slid up my back. The bond between us felt complete and balanced now.

“You feel stronger,” Nolan said, brushing his thumb along my spine.

“I feel like myself again,” I admitted.

Nolan kissed me. I felt him hard against my hip. My wolf purred in delight, excited to experience what I had last night.

Right when Nolan began to line up, there was a knock on our door,

“Awful timing,” he muttered.

“Tell him to keep going,’ my wolf urged and I opened my mouth to tell them until I heard Marco’s voice from the other side of the door.

“Alpha, you told me to make sure to wake you, so we can leave on time. If you don’t get up now, we will be late,” Marco said. Nolan groaned and pressed his forehead against mine. “I swear he does this on purpose.”

I laughed as Nolan rolled off me. “You did tell him to keep us on schedule.”

“That does not mean I like it,” he replied.

Nolan kissed my cheek and added lightly, “The Bloodmoon Pack is going to be very pleased to meet their Luna. It is a long time coming.”

“As my Luna, you’ll be able to link with Bloodmoon’s leadership as well,” Nolan explained. “However, I’d recommend waiting until we have the formal introduction.”

I reached for Nolan through the bond.

‘Hello, my mate,’ Nolan said and chuckled.

‘Last night was impressive,’ I teased. ‘I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to walk this morning.’

Nolan smirked as he answered, ‘I was restrained. I won’t be tonight.’ Then, Nolan whispered to me multiple obscene positions that he wanted to put me into.

I flushed and laughed out loud, drawing Marco and Della’s attention.

“Do I need to know?” Marco asked, eyeing us with open amusement.

“No,” Nolan replied immediately.

“Yes,” Della said at the same time, stepping closer and scanning me from head to toe.

Her eyes widened when she saw the mark. “Well, that explains the limp in your walk this morning.”

My face burned in embarrassment. “It is not that obvious,” I said.

“It is to anyone who knows what they’re looking for,” Della said cheerfully. “I cannot wait to see you complete the Luna ritual.”

“I have to win over the Bloodmoon first,” I said.

Nolan nodded approvingly. “Trust me, Bloodmoon will respect and love you.

I reached for Nolan’s hand without thinking, and he took it. Nolan leaned down and kissed me on the forehead.

Della clapped her hands once. “Alright. Let’s get going.”

I grinned. “To Bloodmoon, then!”
