Second Chance for the Barren Luna (Talia and Jason) novel Chapter 282

Talia’s POV

“This is not a game, Jason!” I growled.

Jason scoffed and said, “I know that, but do you?”

That was when it hit me. There was never going to be a trade. Jason was going to keep stringing this along.

“You bastard,” I growled.

“Language, Princess,” Jason teased.

“There was never going to be trade, was there? You designed this entire thing so I would stand here and watch you destroy the only thing keeping my father alive.”

Jason stayed silent. He simply waited, and that silence only fueled my anger.

“Say something! Say something, you bastard!”

That’s when I saw them and my heart sank. Nolan and Solon were running towards me.

‘What did you do? Did you reach out to them?’ I snapped at my wolf.

‘No, I didn’t say anything to them,’ my wolf answered.

That meant they followed me here.

They didn’t trust me.

“Looks like you’re not as good of a liar as you used to be,” Jason said.

“Release her!” Nolan’s roar split the air before he had fully crossed the distance between us. The sound rolled through the park. His Alpha aura slammed into everyone. Every rogue behind Jason shifted back a step and reset their stance.

“NOW!”

Jason finally acknowledged Nolan. “No need for yelling. This is a peaceful park.”

“Don’t play with me, Jason,” Nolan growled.

Slowly, almost lazily, Jason sliced through the rope binding my wrists in a single motion. I stumbled forward as the tension gave way. Jason caught my arm to keep me from falling.

Nolan and Solon surged past me toward him. The rogues rushed forward to intercept them, and the park exploded into motion. Bodies collided. Fists flew. Two rogues took on Nolan and Nolan tore them apart while Solon kept the rest off Nolan to take on Jason.

“Stop!” I threw myself between them, both arms outstretched. “Everyone stop now!”

“You heard the lady,” Jason chimed in and snapped his fingers causing the rogues to back off.

Nolan halted in front of me, breathing hard, blood running from a cut above his brow that he didn’t seem to notice. Behind him, Solon had a rogue by the throat only seconds from crushing his neck. The rogue froze beneath his hand, eyes wide in fear.

“What are you doing?” Nolan asked, glaring at me. “Move aside, Talia.”

“No. Not until I get what I came for,” I told him.

“Why are you defending him?” Nolan demanded.

“Have you forgotten what I came here for? I am trying to stop this escalation and you’re making this worse!” I shot back.

Jason laughed softly. “Do you really think you’re going to get them now? I told you my terms, Talia.”
