Second Chance for the Barren Luna (Talia and Jason) novel Chapter 368

Talia’s POV

‘How long is this Silverfang party of yours?’ Della asked eagerly.

No greeting, no small talk. Derek’s message had clearly reached her, and she skipped right past the fact that we’d won the war against the Rogue King. Silverfang was still reeling, but Della moved straight to what mattered most to her.

I bit back a laugh. ‘Just one night, Della. We’ve got way too much to deal with now that the fighting’s over. There’s no way we could drag it out any longer.’

‘Just one day?’ she exclaimed. ‘Really, Talia? If you’d said two, I’d be on the road already. You know I would drop everything.’

‘I do know. That’s why I kept it to one.’

‘Rude,’ she huffed, but she was already shifting tactics. ‘That doesn’t mean I can’t go.’

‘Della, we need you at Bloodmoon,’ I told her. Even though the Rogue King was gone, there were still rogues who could take advantage in an attempt to become the next Rogue King. Della needed to be there with Marco.

‘Alright, here’s the deal: I want something in return. When you’re back, Bloodmoon gets its own party. It has to be bigger than Silverfang’s, and I get to run the show. You owe me, after sidelining me for the entire fight and making me stay behind while everyone else risked their necks.’

‘Are you still upset about that?’ I questioned.

‘Damn right I am,’ Della responded. ‘I’m your Beta. I should have been there fighting alongside you.’

‘You’re right,’ I said. ‘We did sideline you. You kept Bloodmoon safe while we were gone, and we appreciate it.’ I could feel her getting ready to argue, so I kept going. ‘So, I agree. Bloodmoon gets its own party. Make it as big as you want, your rules, no one to stop you. When we get back, you can start right away.’

‘Good,’ she said, vindicated at last. ‘Enjoy your one sad little day. See you soon.’ Then, she closed the mind link.

Nolan was watching my face. “What did she want?”

"We owe Della a party. Bloodmoon gets one when we’re home. That’s the deal for making her stay behind."

I half expected him to protest, but Nolan nodded and said, “Good.”

I blinked. “Good? I thought you hated parties.”

He shrugged and said, “People change.”

"Is that so?" I moved closer, sliding my hands up his chest. "The Nolan I remember would have chosen another fight with Kargon over mingling with Alphas at a stuffy party."

“That Nolan didn’t have you at the party,” he said, and I went up on my tiptoes to kiss him.
