Second Chance for the Barren Luna (Talia and Jason) novel Chapter 259

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED & FIFTY NINE

Talia’s POV

Della was still in the doorway, catching her breath. She walked into the room and closed the door behind her Della looked around to see if anyone else was in the room.

“No one else is in here but us,” I said. “What happened?”

“Did we capture Jason?” Nolan asked.

“Goddess, I wish that was what I wanted to tell you,” Della said between gasps. Hearing that made a shiver run down my spine. “Della, you’re scaring me,” I said.

“I contacted Leslie to ask about how the research was going and whether she had made any progress,” Della began. “Leslie was telling me about it and then she mentioned that the Alpha King had been unwell. Then she stopped herself mid-sentence and asked me not to repeat it.”

“Unwell? Like sick? What do you mean unwell?” I asked. It was rare for our species to get sick. It didn’t make any sense.

“She didn’t tell me anything else. She told me to not tell you to keep you from worrying, but I thought you needed to know this,” Della replied.

Nolan frowned. I could feel his confusion from our mate bond. It was rare for us to get sick and now my father, the Alpha King, was sick. Had I angered the Moon Goddess somehow?

‘Perhaps it is not that serious,’ my wolf suggested. ‘Maybe he ate some bad meat.’

“How unwell?” I asked, wanting to believe my wolf was right.

“She did not say exactly,” Della explained. “But the way she stopped herself told me it was serious. She was choosing her words carefully and you know Leslie never chooses her words carefully.”

“How long ago did you call her?” Nolan asked.

“An hour ago,” Della said. “I came to you as soon as I could.”

“Thank you, Della,” I said. “You absolutely did the right thing by telling us.”

Della nodded and left, pulling the door closed behind her.

“Contact Solon, immediately,” Nolan said. He didn’t need to tell me twice. I was already reaching out through the mind link.

‘Solon, we need to talk.’

‘You know,’ Solon said, answering within seconds. He had probably been expecting it since the moment Leslie let it slip to Della

‘I don’t have all the details. Tell me what’s going on with our father.’

“Talia, it’s not a big deal.’

“Then, why did Leslie stop telling Della about it?’

‘Because she blows things out of proportion. You know this.’

‘Solon, you’re lying to me.’

‘You need to focus on Bloodmoon. I have it handled here.’

‘Do not talk to me like that. Do not tell me what to do. Even though I’m the Luna of Bloodmoon, I am still a Princess and your sister,’ I snapped. ‘Tell me what is happening with our father right now!’

There was a pause. It felt like minutes before he spoke, ‘Alright. He has been ill for a few days now.’

‘Days?! When were you going to tell me?’ I demanded.

‘We made the decision not to tell you while you were still dealing with everything that happened with Jason and Maggie. We didn’t want to add to your stress,’ Solon explained.

‘How many times am I going to have to tell you that I don’t need to be treated like a child? That was not your decision to make for me again,’ I snapped. ‘You should have told me as soon as you found out.’

‘You are right. I’m sorry,’ Solon replied.

“Tell me about the illness,’ I said.

‘Black marks appeared first on his arms, on the inside of his forearms, and they have been spreading since. Leslie has examined him thoroughly. It is not contagious. It does not appear to have originated from any known source of infection. But whatever it is, it is causing his body to deteriorate,’ Solon explained and I covered my mouth in horror. Nolan wrapped his arm around me to

support me.

“Talia?’
