Second Chance for the Barren Luna (Talia and Jason) novel Chapter 24

CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR

Nolan’s POV

Fangvale wasn’t normally my kind of place. It was too loud, too many wolves. But Marco insisted. He said I needed a break from being the Alpha, that I had been cooped up too long.

He wasn’t wrong.

I had become short–tempered. Even the smallest irritation sent me into a rage. My wolf seemed to be restless and always pacing, further annoying me. My pack was nervous around me, and I was one step away from tearing someone’s throat out just for breathing wrong.

So, I came to Fangvale. I sat in the VIP room above the main courtyard, letting the noise drift up to me. Music pounded, water splashed, and laughter echoed off the stone walls. I hated to admit that it was calming me down a bit until a sudden breeze carried a scent through the open archway.

Roses.

A floral scent of sweet, wild roses. My wolf finally stopped pacing after months. Then he surged forward, howling in excitement:

MATE!

I stood and went to the window. I scanned the pool below and found her instantly. She was arguing with a man, an Alpha from the looks of his posture, and she was seconds away from shifting. Her power was curling at the edges of her skin, and that man was too stupid to back down.

‘How dare he anger our mate!‘ my wolf snarled within me, and I growled unconsciously. The sound cracked through the air like a thunderclap. Everything stopped. Wolves stopped moving. The music was turned off.

Before I could mind link him, Marco reached out first. ‘I’ll handle it, Alpha.‘

Marco was already on the lower level, intercepting the fight as the idiot Alpha seemed like he wanted to continue the argument. I watched the she–wolf carefully. She held herself with authority and didn’t back down from the Alpha which meant she was someone important.

Later, Marco returned to the VIP lounge as I watched my mate be led away by another she–wolf. My chest tightened as my wolf

whined within me. He wanted me to bring her back.

“The woman with the violet eyes. Who is she?” I asked Marco without turning to look at him.

“I did some digging,” Marco replied. “She’s Princess Talia. The other is-”

“Not interested,” I remarked. “I didn’t expect there to be such low classed drama here.”

“Normally, there isn’t,” Marco said with a shrug. “There is bad blood between the two she–wolves I think. If things continue the way they are going, blood will be spilt.”

“Which pack does this Talia belong to?” I asked.

“Silverfang.”

That got my attention. I turned to look at Marco and before I could ask for her last name, Marco continued.

“Talia Carson, the daughter of the Alpha King,” Marco continued. “She returned not too long ago to rule with her brother, Prince Solon.”

I stared at him for a long second.
