Second Chance for the Barren Luna (Talia and Jason) novel Chapter 398

Talia’s POV

“I need to speak to her now,” Nolan said.

“What? Why?” I blurted, unable to hide my apprehension.

“I need to set things straight with her,” Nolan replied. “As her Alpha.”

I hesitated. “Nolan, I’ve already ordered Walden to punish her,” I said. “Maybe this can wait? Allow yourself more time to recover.”

Nolan didn't listen. He swung his legs off the bed. When I tried to help him stand, he gently moved my hand away and stood up as if he hadn’t been unconscious only moments ago.

“No. It has to be now,” he said. I was worried, but I could tell he was set on this.

“Okay, then,” I relented.

We headed outside after leaving the hospital. Nolan seemed alright, but I kept looking over at him just to be sure.

“Stop staring, Talia. I am not going to collapse,” Nolan finally said.

“You can’t blame me for checking,” I said. “You should be in bed right now. We don’t know if there are any side effects.”

“I promise that I am okay,” Nolan reassured. “I just…I didn’t want this to linger.”

My mind raced with possible outcomes. I tried to guess what Nolan was thinking. What was he going to say to her? Was he going to banish her immediately if she didn’t respond appropriately?

‘If he banishes her, you will not stop him,’ my wolf said.

‘But she just made a poor decision,’ I said.

‘That could have had terrible consequences if things were different. Think about what would have happened if Geoffrey was around to notice this,’ my wolf said, and I couldn’t argue with that.

Geoffrey would have taken the opportunity to challenge me himself for the title of Alpha King. If Arya wanted to challenge me for my title, she could’ve just done it. She didn’t need to drug Nolan.

Walden’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts as he shouted orders. “You have four more, and I am not trying to spend all night out here, Arya!”

Arya kept running laps on the field. She was soaked with sweat and looked worn out, but she pushed herself to keep moving.

“Pick up your pace, Arya! That’s not good enough!” Walden shouted.

Arya staggered, breathing hard, but made herself keep running even though she was worn out. “Keep moving or I’ll add two more laps,” Walden warned, not letting up as she got more tired.

“I see why Bloodmoon warriors are one of the best. Walden is no joke,” I said.
