Chapter 43 : Talon’s Problems
**Talon’s POV
After I put away the last pile of files I needed to handle today, I sat down by my desk, watching the pouring rain outside. My thoughts drifted.
The conversation with Ethan hadn’t gone as I had expected the other night.
I tried several times to make him reconsider, but he was now more adamant than ever that we were going to go through with the plan.
No matter how much he tried to deny that he cared for Rosalie, I knew he did. And I just needed a way to make him realize that.
I had to do something.
“Talon!” My sister’s voice echoed from the other side of my door along with a knock, pulling me from my thoughts. Quickly, I opened the door.
Clearly she was upset. Before I could ask what the matter was, she pushed her way into my room.
“What’s wrong?” I was immediately on high alert. “Did something happen?”
Her expression was sad and angry. I knew she had gone to check on Rosalie…I had a bad feeling about it.
“Is Rosalie okay?!” | urged.
“Like you care,” she replied coldly, looking at me with a deadly stare.
“Excuse me?” I was caught off guard.
Vicky stood before me. It was obvious she’d been crying.
My sister was strong, and never let anyone see her in a disheveled state. Something terrible must have happened.
“Is it true that the plan for Rosalie all along has been to kill her after she has the baby?”
Those words were the last thing I’d expected to come out of her mouth. The only people who knew were Ethan and me.
I quickly moved toward the door and closed it before anyone else could hear the conversation.
“Who told you that?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at her.
“So it’s true, then!” she gasped, covering her mouth. “How could you? She trusted you!”
“The situation is more complicated than that.”
More complicated, Talon?! Rosalie is like family to us, and has become one of my best friends. You tasked me with taking care of her knowing what you’d be doing. How could you?”

Vicky sobbed in front of me, and it broke my heart. I stepped forward, wanting to comfort her, but she ripped her body from my grasp.

Chapter 43: Talon’s Problems
“Vicky, you have to calm down, now!”
“Then explain! Because, right now, I can barely stand to be around you.”
I sighed, trying to find a way to explain the situation to her.
“Ethan never wanted a mate. He never thought he would get close to someone. He had hoped whoever he picked would quickly get pregnant, have a baby, and be out of his hair. He didn’t expect Rosalie to come into his
life.”
“That doesn’t make it okay to kill her, though,” Vicky hissed. “How do you think Georgia would feel about this?”
“Keep Georgia out of this if you want any chance of changing his mind,” I warned her.
“No, Talon,” Vicky snapped back. “Rosalie is a kind and loving person, and would make the best of Lunas. The Alpha is letting a king without a child dictate his future. He’s letting that man force him to marry a horrible woman without any of the traits of a good Luna. She will destroy us all.”
“Shut your mouth before someone hears you,” I growled at her.
However, I knew what she said was true.
“You need to remember your place, Vicky,” I added.
“Or what, Talon? Are you going to kill me, too?!”
I was speechless. She glared challengingly at me.
Finally, she looked away and said, “Do me a favor and forget we had this conversation.”
Something was nagging at me. I had asked her a question earlier that she didn’t answer…
“How did you know?” I asked again, slowly.
“It doesn’t matter how I found out,” Vicky replied, acting hesitant.
She quickly went to leave, and I grabbed her arm, roughly pulling her back.
“I won’t ask you again! Tell me!”
Vicky began to cry, and my grip softened a little. “Let me go, Talon!”
Then I realized, and my heart sank.
“Rosalie…”
The word came out in a whisper as I let Vicky go.
“If you tell Ethan that she knows.. he will make her life worse. If he’s going to kill her, fine, but let her live her life as she chooses until then. She doesn’t want Ethan to know that she knows the truth.”
“Vicky-” | sighed, feeling defeated. “I have to tell him.”
“Please, Talon… For once, think about her. You both have already caused her so much pain. Just let her have this. Please don’t tell him she knows.”
Taking a deep breath, I nodded my head, not saying another word.
Vicky hesitated for a moment before quickly turning and walking out of my bedroom.
This was the worst situation I could have imagined. In anger, I picked up the lamp from a nearby table, barely
LUPI
restraining myself from throwing it against the wall.
This was the capitol. There were so many eyes watching us. I needed to stay calm.
All I could do was stand there and try to empty my brain for a little while, until I heard a knock on the door again.
“What else?” I opened the door, expecting it to be Vicky returning to say more.
But I was met with Georgia’s puzzled face.
“What’s wrong with Vicky? I just saw her in a hurry while I was walking up here, and she didn’t even notice me saying hi…”
