Second Chance for the Barren Luna (Talia and Jason) novel Chapter 300

Nolan’s POV

“No, no, I can’t agree to that. Leslie confirmed that the potion was real. We shouldn’t think about something that isn’t going to happen,” I said.

“Do not underestimate Jason,” Rudolf argued.

“I set the conditions myself. Twenty guards would monitor him if he played dirty games. If he moves or rogues approach tomorrow, he dies. I have made it as airtight as I could,” I told him.

“I know you have, and I am grateful for the way you have handled it. But I have known Jason longer than any of you have, and I knew his father before him, and I have never trusted either of them.”

I looked at Solon as he stepped inside. One glance told me he already knew the dilemma I was facing, and I instinctively looked to him for support. Surely, he wouldn’t agree with what the King was asking of me.

“He’s right, Nolan,” Solon said.

“Solon, you can’t be serious,” I replied, stunned.

Solon looked conflicted but shrugged. "I don’t like it either, but I agree with father."

Leslie, who had entered without me noticing, immediately shook her head. “No, Solon. There has to be another way.”

“There isn’t, Leslie,” Solon said firmly. “It has to be Nolan. There’s no better option, and no time to find one.”

I shook my head, my wolf rejecting the request before I even could. ‘We can’t agree to kill our mate’s father! We can’t do this!’

The repercussions of this decision would not be a one-time deal. Every time Talia thought about her father, she would remember that it was me who killed him.

‘Stop. This may not come to pass,’ my wolf said.

‘You don’t know that,’ I retorted. What if she never forgave me? What if the bond we had snapped because of a promise I made at this moment?

“Nolan.” The Alpha King’s voice brought me back from my thoughts. “Listen to me. You are the only one I trust besides my own children, and my children cannot do this. You are the only one who can do this, and you are the only one whose hand will be steady enough to make it quick.”

“No, I…”
