Talia's POV

I was subconsciously taking steps back. I couldn't explain how.


It was overwhelming.

I had my whole little world right in front of me, and I wanted more.

A child to call mine and a man who loved me were all I've wanted for the longest while.


My cute little baby, who looked like me, and a man who loved me even more than he loved himself were right there standing, on a platter of gold, and I felt there was something missing. Hell, I knew there was something missing.

'What are you doing, baby?" Ken looked on in disbelief. I was reacting in all the wrong ways.


His arms were still very much outstretched.

'Can we go home?" I asked before I got any further.

If I didn't stop myself, Ken could not stop me. And it was not going to end well.

'Oh yes. If you're uncomfortable." He replied.

He obviously was very troubled but did a good job of keeping it to himself. He scooped our baby from the floor where she had begun to busy herself with some fallen flowers. Some of them had made their way to her mouth. Innocent little girl!

I held the door open for him as he tried to fit her as best as he could into the back set. Even at that, Ken still tried to steal a kiss, which I instinctively dodged and felt bad for later.

'Where are you going??!" Ken shouted behind me. I was running and running fast. Finally!

A lot of things were running through my mind but I have no care in the world.

I had to do what I had to do. We were almost halfway to Moonstone. I knew Ken would never go after me. It would definitely be misconstrued.

It was better he kept it out of public knowledge for as long as he could before letting Silverhaven know that their newly found Luna escaped, or tried to.

'Come on! Come on!" I kept chanting.

I was tired. There was no point stalling and delaying the inevitable.

I was going to Moonstone and this was the last time. I had to set things straight. No more messing around.

In less than an hour , I arrived.

We didn't plan to meet, so the chances of seeing Vance anytime soon were slim and very close to non-existence.

I sat somewhere shady, trying to stabilize my breath. I then noticed that they were trooping to the palace.

It had to be a meeting or something. Definitely a pack gathering. I had to be there, and I had to let him see me.

Nadia was no threat. She definitely would not recognise me, no matter how hard she tried.

I was just a strange wolf. If I was a man wolf, maybe I would have faced a little bit of opposition, but I was a helpless female. For one thing, Moonstone was very lenient with females.

I got there and stood at the center. I sure garnered some unwanted attention. But I didn't mind. I was there for something and I had to fulfill my purpose.

I saw Vance step out in all his glory. A wave of nostalgia washed over me. I used to be the one on his side, where Nadia wrongfully stood.

That is a little bit of a lost battle as I got compensated for everything I had taken from me.

Vance's address was quick, final, quite unfriendly and direct. As soon as he got done, no one had the balls to hang back as they all turned their backs and started heading home.

I tarried a bit, long enough to be seen by Vance.

I made sure to lock eyes with him, letting the face and memory sink in, before I looked over to Nadia who was quite confused at the exchange. Her face had fallen and I could guess that Vance did a lot of explaining thereafter. None of which was the truth.

I didn't get too far before I saw one of Vance's jeeps tailing me. I made sure to pass a reality lonely route and I'm sure Vance made sure to follow me.

'Hop in." it wasn't him, but I recognised the palace servant. There were all my friends while I was Vance's Luna. They must really hate Nadia for them to aid Vance in keeping extra marital affairs.

'Where did he say to keep me?" it wasn't until I said it that I realized how direct I had been.

'You'll discover when we get there." He said gruffly. Trust those guys to express no emotions.

It wasn't such a long ride. The car was quite fast and could travel the whole perimeter of Moonstone in two hours.

The hotel was grand. It's somewhere I had never been all my life. I can't exactly pride myself saying I knew all the places in Moonstone, but it definitely looked new.

The palace guards who rode with us saw me and stopped abruptly.

I had only begun to wonder why they did before I saw Vance standing right in front of me.

'Welcome." He said beaming.

Some evil thoughts crossed my mind. What if I confessed right there and enjoyed him dropping dead at the revelation.

But that was for later.

I definitely couldn't and shouldn't stare him straight in the eye. To him, I was just some underprivileged wolf who could double as a whore.

Vance was already shamelessly hard and wasn't even trying to hide it. The guards immediately turned their backs and left as quietly as they came.

'I can't remember your name now." He started. Vance looked so sex crazed I knew he wasn't up for any discussions, he just wanted me to feel at ease.

Which was the exact opposite of what I was feeling. I was fucking married to Ken! I couldn't be out here having sex like I was not hooked to someone.

'Come over her baby. Come give me some sugar." While I was busy in my mind, Vance was out of his and already getting naked.
