    CHAPTER NINETEEN


    Talia’s POV


    The moment Jason left with Viki, I finally allowed the tears to fall.


    I held them in through the usations, the betrayal, the cold indifference, but now, with no one left to see me break, I copsed.


    Solon caught me before I hit the ground. I sobbed into his chest as I clung to him. He wrapped his arms around me without hesitation.


    “You don’t have to hold it in anymore,” Solon cooed. “Let it out.


    “I just don’t understand,” I said through choked breaths. “He used to treat me so well, and I’m his fated mate, but


    now….”


    Solon held me tighter, but he didn’t interrupt me.


    “He loved surprising me with little gifts,” I continued. “It could be a new rose or a ne. Or even a cup of chamomile tea before bed when I had a stressful day. He used to listen and pay attention to my preferences.” My voice broke. “I thought that was what love was.”


    Solon let out a quiet sigh, brushing a strand of hair behind my ear. “Only through difficult times will you know who someone truly is.”


    I shook my head. “No. We didn’t have any problems. Everything changed when he came back with Viki pregnant,” I exined. “He moved me to the guest room and moved her into our bedroom. He started saying I wasn’t supportive enough and that I was being selfish, but I tried. I let it go for the sake of the heir. I let Viki do whatever she wanted.”


    “And she repaid that kindness with lies and nder,” Solon growled.


    “I sensed her hostility from the beginning,” I admitted. “But I still believed in the bond. We were fated mates. I believed that no matter what, Jason would choose me. I believed he wouldn’t allow Viki to hurt me. He would protect me, but he didn’t. He allowed everyone to disrespect me. I was so na?ve.”


    “No,” Solon said firmly. “You were not na?ve. You were hopeful and loyal. That’s not a weakness, Talia. Those are good traits to have.”


    “You’re only saying that because I’m your sister,” I muttered.


    Solon grabbed my chin, forcing me to meet his eyes. “It’s the truth, Talia. You are a wonderful person, and it is a shame that he didn’t cherish you.”


    I began to cry all over again and let out a bitterugh. “You know the cruelest part about all of this is that there’s nothing wrong with me,”


    “What do you mean?” Solon asked.


    “I went to the pack healer and had multiple fertility tests done. The test results showed that I didn’t have any fertility issues. Jason didn’t even try. He gave up on me so easily.”


    “Jason is a fool. He lost his true Luna and one day he will realize and regret his decision, but, Talia, you cannot keep living in the past. You need to let go and embrace and live the life meant for you,” Solon said.


    I wiped my face and nodded. “You’re right. Thanks, Solon.”

    “Of course I’m right,” Solon said with a wink which made me smile. “Now,e on. It’ste and you need your rest.”


    The next morning, I walked into the pce dining room and found De already seated at the long marble table, stuffing her face with French toast and eggs.


    “You’re up!” she said, her face lighting up as she waved a fork at me. “I was starting to think I would have to drag you out of bed. I don’t know how you could ever miss all of this good food!”


    “I didn’t sleep much,” I muttered, taking a seat beside her.


    “Hangover or bad dreams?” De asked gently.


    “No, just a long night,” I said.


    “Well, lucky for you, I have something better than coffee.” She grinned and slid her phone across the table.” Behold!”


    On the screen were photos of ridiculously attractive Alphas of varying heights and ages. Some were shirtless. Some were in suits. All of them made Jason look like a troll.


    “De…”


    “Nope. I am not letting you get out of this,” She shoved a roll into my mouth, to keep me from talking. Fangvale’s annual gathering is in a week. Alphas, Betas, and royals from all over will be there to vacation and look for their mates. Solon already told me to make sure you go.”


    “I’m not ready for that kind of rtionship…”


    Before I could finish my sentence, my phone buzzed and then De’s phone buzzed.


    “Who would be texting me right now?” De asked. She nced at her phone and snorted.


    “What’s wrong?” I asked.


    “It’s going to ruin your morning, but fine, see for yourself,” De replied as she handed me her phone.


    On the screen was a link to a video. The caption read: Shadoww Pack’s Luna Publicly Apologizes for nder.


    Without a word, I tapped the link.
