Second Chance for the Barren Luna (Talia and Jason) novel Chapter 92

Talia’s POV

“She’s Prince Solon’s little plaything. Do what you like with her,” Viki said lazily to the rogues.

“Sure thing,” one of the rogues said while the other growled. Excitement shone in their yellow eyes as they stepped closer.

“I can’t wait to get a taste of her,” one of them licked his cracked lips as he began fumbling with his belt buckle.

“No!” I yelled, my voice cracking from the strain. “Viki, stop! Wait!”

Viki turned back and said, “Stop. Be patient. I want to hear what she has to say.”

“If you do this, Viki, Solon will never forgive you,” I warned. “It doesn’t matter if I die or survive, Solon will never let you go. Trust me.”

Viki laughed again. “You’re just so pathetic. How many times are you going to rely on Solon? Why can’t you stand on your own feet?” she said, stepping closer with a predator’s calm.

“Release me and I’ll show you how,” I growled.

Viki tsked and wagged her finger in front of my face. “I don’t think so. Do you think I’m stupid? You may not have a wolf, but I know Solon has been training you. I can’t risk you getting away and then these fine gentlemen won’t get the reward they deserve.”

“Viki, I’m serious. You really need to think about this carefully.”

She sneered. “And so am I.”

“Prince Solon-”

“Enough!” Viki snapped, cutting me off. “Solon probably has another she-wolf as we speak. And let’s say, he does care for you. After those rogues are finished using you, Solon will be disgusted by you. Men don’t choose ruined women, Talia.”

“By that logic, Jason wouldn’t want you either,” I shot back. “You don’t have a real bond with him.”

“Screw the fucking mate bond!” Viki snapped, causing me to gasp.

“Viki, you can’t say that,” I told her.

“I’ll say whatever the fuck I want. The mate bond is just a bunch of superstitious bullshit. Why would the Moon Goddess bond you to Jason instead of me? The Moon Goddess is such a disappointment. If she is real, she should be ashamed of herself,” Viki continued.

My breath hitched. I couldn’t remember a time I had ever heard such words spoken aloud. Even rogues knew better to speak ill of the Moon Goddess.

“Have you lost your mind?” I exclaimed. “How dare you speak about the Moon Goddess like that and mock the mate bond? She will punish you for this, Viki. You and everyone who still cares about you.”

For a brief second, I saw the crack in her mask. I saw doubt in her eyes. Then it vanished, replaced with anger.
