to her. “Yes,” she admitted.
He smiled. “Good girl,” he purred, and shivers ran down south, wetting her making her core clench.
up and
Once again, she found that being called his good girl was a huge turn–on for her, and she couldn’t
control her response.
His head lowered and his l*ps almost rested on hers when the car came to a stop, and Julian pulled
away to adjust himself. He got down on his own while the driver came to her side of the car and
opened it for her.
She stepped out, trying her best to put the event that almost took place in the car behind her. She drew
a sharp breath upon seeing the beautiful triangular structure standing before her.
“Is this the pyramid?” she asked after a while of silently staring at the structure that looked like the one
she had read about in the
past.
His smile deepened, and his dimples came on display. “Yes, and I am glad you know about it.”
Know about it? She had dreamt of coming here since she first read about this place as a child.
The pyramid was one of the most exotic places in their world. Although it was

called the pyramid, there were three triangular–like structures on the site, not just one. The first was a
restaurant with an open roof space, while the two others hotels.
Were
Each of the buildings had a triangular structure illuminated with white lights, which gave it an
outstanding appeal to beholders. The one they now stood in front of was not only a restaurant; it had
an open–top view that displayed the cities far and wide to those who could afford it. The inside she
heard was more endowed than the outside, and she never thought she would even step inside in a
million
years.
“It had been shut down for the past five years. But it began running last month, and so far, it has been
smooth.” He spoke, pulling her out of her thoughts.
She immediately felt edgy and out of place. She glanced down at herself and realised she was
underdressed for the night. It wasn’t her fault; how was she to know he had planned to bring her to the
Pyramid? She wrapped her arms around. herself, and he must have noticed because he laughed.
“Do not worry. You are with me.” He assured her, taking her hand in his. Just like hypnosis, the worry
disappeared.
They stepped into the pyramid, and the eyes of everyone inside turned to them. She calmed herself,
knowing well that everyone knew who the Lycan king was, but she found many eyes on her as well,
and she didn’t know why that was.
“You seem edgy.” He pointed out the obvious, and she glanced up at him.
“They are staring at me.”
“Many of them know who you are,” he replied without hesitation. “You are the healer of our world, and
many are here today because of you. In fact, the pyramid came back to functioning after you came,
and we learned the plague could be defeated. They owe you so much, and they would have already
been all over you if I weren’t here
She had no clue she was this well known, but listening to him made her understand that he spoke the
truth.
For the rest of the night, Fiona did her best to focus on Julian and the night. They were served food and
ate quietly. She wanted to enjoy the night, but she didn’t understand a lot of things. Like why she was
here and where it was all heading. She kept it all to herself.
Julian walked with her to the front steps of her balcony as they returned to the

estate. He had taken her hand and led her all the way up the stairs, and she didn’t want him to let go.
She was getting used to being treated this way already, and she wanted it to last even longer.
Julian told her he had placed Alpha Jax of Fellfield to lead the trail for Vivian and bring her to justice.
The alpha was the best for this job, and Julian sent it to him immediately after he learnt of Vivian’s
disappearance. He told her alpha Jax, then handpicked a few he wanted to be on his team. Beta Yao,
beta Styles, and Gemma Rogue were the three he chose, and they left together over a week ago.
Fiona didn’t think their search would prove faithful, as Vivian had a thing for manipulation. Yet she
prayed that the witch was found and an end was put to her
schemes.
They got to the front of her door, and this was where Julian released her hand. “I really enjoyed the
night,” she said in truth, turning to look at him.
He smiled and said, “I’m glad you do.”
They became silent, and she wanted for him to say or do something, but he stayed the same way–no
words, just staring at her. She felt uncertain and a little uncomfortable, as she didn’t know what he was
hoping to see. She also didn’t know what his plan was, and he didn’t seem ready to reveal it.
She took a step back and wrapped her hand around the doorknob. “I should get going then,” she
muttered.
He nodded. “Sure.”
She turned around, then paused and turned to him. “What is your end goal? There must be something
you’re after, and last I checked, I cannot heal your plague. anymore, and there is no reason for doing
this or keeping me.” She wasn’t saying the words she wanted to say or the words she needed to say.
She wanted this man standing in front of her, and it seemed he didn’t feel the same way and only loved
seeing her desperation for him.
“You think this is about me getting a cure for my plague?” he asked with a wounded look on his face. “I
already accepted my fate, Fiona.”
“Then why?”
“Because you are my mate, and I love you.” He said it in a calm tone of voice, and she didn’t have to
believe him; he believed the words he spoke to her. “And because I know you deserve so much better
than you have gotten so far. You deserve so much more than the man you got six years ago, much
more than the
Chapter 57
mate and family you found, and I want to make it up to you the best way I can.”
Her heart leapt with joy and love at his words. Just when she thought she couldn’t love this man harder
than she did, it turned out that she could.

It was seven when the doorbell went off, and Fiona knew who it was. Bella left for Broxhay, her
hometown and a community in the south, a few hours ago, and she will be there for a week visiting
family.
She walked to the door and opened it, and there she found Julian. He stood there dressed in his white
long sleeve and black trousers. His hair was in a near bun, and his beard was neatly trimmed. He
always had a way of stilling her breath with his charming look. She didn’t have to let him know that,
though. A part of her still resented him.
He smiled upon seeing her, and she felt butterflies in her stomach. “You look amazing,” he said, and he
stepped closer to where she stood.
Her breath hitched when his head dipped, and for those few seconds, she forgot how to breathe. He
leaned in and k*ssed her cheeks before pulling away.
She drew a deep breath and nodded. “You look decent yourself.” He looked better than decent; he
looked great, even gorgeous. She looked decent, but he must have exaggerated this.
“Decent,” he smiled. “I’ll take that. Are you ready?”
“Yes, I am,” she replied before adding, “And the boys?”
“I already gave charge to the maids to watch them and take them to bed once it’s past nine.” He
answered. “You do not have to worry. I am on the path of being a good father,” he winked at her before
extending his hand out to her.
She dragged a deep breath and took it. She did not know what lay ahead, but she had always trusted
him and knew he would never hurt her. It was easy to believe; he was Julian McQueen, the Lycan king
Their destination was far away from the Pack estate, and this was the first time she was leaving the
estate for something that wasn’t her work at the settlement.
This world had so much to offer, but she had stayed restricted for over a month of being here. There
were so many things and places put up that were beautiful.
She didn’t want to ask, but as soon as they stepped out of the pack estate, she wondered where they
were heading. “Where are we going?” she peaked up at hire.
He turned to her, and his usual charming smile appeared on his face. He didn’t give the details, though;
instead, he said, “You’ll see.
