Second Chance for the Barren Luna (Talia and Jason) novel Chapter 28

28 /105

Jason’s POV

The phone cracked under my grip with a crunch. Pieces of plastic scattered across the floor. I stared at the broken screen, seething. “That arrogant bitch,” I growled. She had the nerve to laugh at me, ME, and then compare me to Prince Solon. That bastard didn’t even want her. He was just using her to pass the time.

“She’s still refusing to come back?” Viki asked, lounging across the silk sheets of my bed. One arm was folded under the head while the other was draped over her belly.

I nodded as I began to pace. “She hung up on me. Told me she would rather be Prince Solon’s discarded omega.”

Viki scoffed and sat up, tossing her legs over the side of the bed. “Wow. Didn’t expect her to grow a spine. I always thought she’d slither back eventually, begging for scraps. But I see now… she thinks she can climb.” Her eyes narrowed. “Is she really trying to become Silverfang’s Luna?”

“Don’t be ridiculous,” I sneered, turning to face her. “If Prince Solon made an omega his Luna, the entire kingdom would laugh at him. No Alpha in his right mind would crown a used, broken omega like her.”

“And yet here you are, furious, and pacing like a caged wolf, my Alpha” Viki smiled. “She’s not your problem anymore. You rejected her. Why are you even responding to her taunts? Doesn’t really scream indifference, Jason.”

“Whether I reject her or not, she’s still mine.” The words hissed out before I could stop them. The mate bond between Talia and I still scratched under my skin like a wound that wouldn’t heal.

I expected Viki to lash out, maybe throw something, but she didn’t. Instead, she tilted her head, brows raised, looking more intrigued than offended. “But you said she was weak.”

“She is,” I snapped. “But I refuse to allow an omega to think that she can reject me and get away with it. If she’s not with me, she can’t be with anyone else.”

Viki rose from the bed, her silk robe slipping open at the hem. She walked over slowly, hips swaying. She placed her hand on my chest, nails dragging faint lines across my skin.

“So, what’s the plan then?” she purred.

“I’m going to align myself with Nolan,” I responded.

Viki’s eyes widened. “Nolan? Alpha Nolan Watkins?” she asked.

“Yes. He’s powerful, brutal, and rumor has it he doesn’t respect the Alpha King. Once I rise through the ranks with him, no one, not even Solon, will be able to stop me,” I explained.
