Second Chance for the Barren Luna (Talia and Jason) novel Chapter 191

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED & NINETY ONE

Viki’s POV

“And what do you need my help with?” I asked her as I sat down on the old, stained sofa. I knew as soon as I saw her face that Talia had arrived. I just wanted Maggie to tell me.

“You knew,” Maggie responded. “You knew he would bring her back.”

“Bring back who? I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I said.

“Yes, you do!” Maggie snapped. “The Princess. He brought back the Princess as his Luna.”

“Oh Yes,” I said simply. “I knew.”

Her hands clenched at her sides. “And you didn’t think to warn me?”

I tilted my head slightly. “Would you have listened? I tried to tell you that you would need me, but you thought I was crazy.”

“You could’ve still warned me,” Maggie said firmly.

“Do not direct your anger at me,” I told her firmly. “As I didn’t take the love of your life away from you.”

Maggie’s face flushed, but she did not deny it. She looked away instead as she sat down in a chair.

“The way,” she muttered. “The way he looks at her. He never looked at me like that.”

“I know exactly how that feels,” I told her.

She looked back at me sharply. “You do not.”

“I do,” I said, evenly. “Because she took my mate too.”

Maggie’s brow furrowed and asked, “What? How?”

‘You’re playing a dangerous game,’ my wolf hissed within my mind. I ignored her and pushed her down.

“I never told you how I ended up like this,” I said. “Alpha Jason of Shadowclaw was my mate, and she took her from me.”

Maggie’s eyes widened in surprise before they narrowed. “You’re that Viki?” she said before scoffing. “Everyone knows that Talia was Jason’s original mate. He betrayed her for you.”

“That is the story she tells,” I said with a sigh as I stood.

I began to walk around the room as I spoke as I spun my tale for this young fool.

“She came to Shadowclaw as Luna. She hid her true identity to ruin Shadowclaw from the inside out. When Jason served no purpose to her, she abandoned him for someone better,” I explained.

Maggie folded her arms and said, “That does not explain Nolan.”

“Doesn’t it?” I replied, “The Alpha King uses his own daughter as a pawn. No one would expect the dainty, delicate princess to be a danger. I am sure that’s how she got close to Nolán. It’s how she won over Jason.”

“But how does Nolan have anything to do with you?” Maggie asked.

“Talia doesn’t get her hands dirty,” I replied. “Nolan hurt me for her.”

Maggie shook her head. “Nolan would never hurt a woman. He would never do what you are implying.”

I stopped in front of her.

“You are wrong,” I said quietly. “He ruined me because I refused to disappear quietly.”

Maggie didn’t believe me. I could tell in her eyes. So, I would just have to show. her what her beloved Nolan was really capable of.
