CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED & EIGHTY
Talia’s POV
“It was nothing,” Leslie said. She said it too quickly and she was not meeting my eyes. I looked at Nolan, but he met my gaze and I did not feel his emotions fluctuating through the mate bond.
“Actually, I have something to say,” Nolan said. Leslie looked sharply at him.
“Nolan, think about what we talked about,” she said firmly but Nolan waved her off.
“I support you going to meet Jason tomorrow,” Nolan stated.
I had not expected that, especially after our argument.
“You do?” I muttered, narrowing my eyes in suspicion.
“Yes. I should have never threatened to command you, Talia. You were one of the best things that have happened to me in a long time. I was, and am, afraid of losing you. I want to keep you home and safe,” Nolan explained. “But you are Silverfang’s princess. It is your responsibility to think of Silverfang first before your own safety. I have seen what you are capable of. I trust you to come back.”
I had not expected such honesty from him, especially not in front of Leslie. His vulnerability right now was unsettling. My wolf immediately pushed forward, annoyed by my shock.
‘He is our mate. He should be vulnerable with us. Who cares who is around? You keep forgetting how hard our mate’s life was before us. He has lost his father and now he has us. Make up with our mate or I refuse to talk to you,’ my wolf scolded.
“You are not going to lose me,” I finally said. “I am not going to Fangvale to die. I am going to get my father’s medicine and I am coming home. I promise you that.”
Nolan nodded once and said nothing further. His brow was still furrowed but he had said everything he needed to say.
“Is Solon angry with me?” I asked Leslie.
“No, he feels guilty that you have to do this,” Leslie replied with a shrug.
“Guilty? None of this is his fault,” I said.
“He knows that, but you know how he is. He is the Prince of Silverfang and the future Alpha King that he cannot protect his sister,” Leslie explained. “He believes he should be the one putting h Jason.”
“Again, none of this is Solon’s fault. Jason’s hatred toward me started when I ended our bond and f This meeting was always going to happen in some form. Solon could not have stopped it, and he shou about this. Will you explain that to him? I do not think he will hear it from me right now.”
“‘1 will,” Leslie agreed. Then she reached into her medical bag and pulled out a dagger. The blade was short an The hilt was engraved with a name I recognized the moment I saw it
“That is Solon’s dagger. Why do you have it?” I asked. Solon always had the dagger on him. It was a gift our mother ha made for him before she died.
