Julian’s POV
Julian stood at Jashin and June’s door and dragged a deep breath for courage to go in. Since Fiona
left, doing this has become the hardest responsibility every day. Staring his sons in the face when they
look sad, knowing he was responsible for it. After learning from their classmate that he had chased
their mother away, the boys’ emotions changed from sadness whenever he was around to anger.
It grew worse with every passing day. Now going in and looking at them scared him. more than
anything else.
They were his sons, and this was part of the responsibility of being their father. He will be with them
and keep them safe until their mother returns, and that will be soon. One more full moon.
He pushed open the door and stepped into the room, and the boys were on their beds reading, but no
one acknowledged his presence.
“I see you both already tucked yourself into bed.” He began a small conversation.
“Mommy taught us how to do that.” Jashin answered in a grumpy tone, and June stayed silent.
“That is great. So how was school?”
“Great,” again, only Jashin answered.
He didn’t take it much to heart, but he missed how excited his sons were whenever they saw him, and
now they couldn’t care less.
“When are you going to bring mommy back?” June finally asked, but his gaze stayed fixed on the
storybook in his hand.
“In three weeks.” He said honestly, “I will leave in three weeks to bring her back, and I will not return
without her.”
This made June stare at him, but he didn’t seem to believe him. “Okay, I cannot wait to meet her
again.”
He wasn’t the only one.
He wanted to see Fiona as well. He had missed her so much that he thought he would
go
insane. Her smile was his charm, and her laughter was his medicine. Since her departure, a part of him
has died, and it will not come alive until she returns to him.

He had to always remind himself that this was for the better.
He k*ssed their foreheads before leaving the room. He approached the bedroom when he saw Tyler,
one of the betas in charge of security watch at the estate, walking towards him.
He had no permission to be here, and that told him that something could have brought him all the way.
“My king,” he said when he got close enough and bowed his head.
“What are you doing here and at this time?” he asked with a furrowed brow.
“I came for you because you are the only one who can intervene, my king.” He answered honestly, and
Julian knew something was wrong.
“What happened?”
“Beta Kenneth and Marion got into a bl oody fight. From what I gather, it began at the Tamack, and it
got bl oody at the entrance of the Pack estate.” He answered. “None of us at the watch can put a stop
to the brawl because they are higher than us in rank. Kenneth is your second in command and Marion
the third, and you are the only one who can step in, my king.”
Julian didn’t need any other information; he dashed to the entrance to the Pack Estate, and it was just
as Tyler said. Kenneth had Marion pinned to the tarred ground with his claw dug deep into his shoulder.
However, before Julian could come close, Marion had manoeuvred his position so that now he had
Kenneth’s hand locked behind him. Both men were in their Lycan forms now.
Without speaking, Julian pulled Marion off Kenneth and pushed him aside. Marion came back
immediately, trying to swing for Kenneth while Kenneth moved for a counterattack.
“Enough!” Julian thundered, and his eyes glowed red, compelling them to give it up. Their eyes turned
to him, and none had any form of remorse or apology in his gaze.
They shifted into their human forms, and the guards on duty at the gate raced to bring them their
clothes to put on.
“What the f uck is going on here?” Julian demanded it after both men got dressed.
“You ask your crazy doctor, he attacked first and bit me. I was only defending myself from his crazy as
s.” Kenneth answered with a scowl on his face.
Julian’s attention moved to the now calm Marion, who had menace in his eyes directed at Kenneth. If
Kenneth hadn’t just given his side of the story, Julian would have thought

Kenneth stole Marion’s mate.
“Marion, why did you attack him?”
“Because he is working for the dark world.” Marion answered, and Kenneth launched at Marion to take
him by the neck, but Julian stepped in between them.
The guards standing around began murmuring amongst themselves. Julian cast them a glare, and they
became silent immediately.
“First you attacked me, and now you accuse me of working for the dark world?” Kenneth foamed, and if
Julian wasn’t here, he would have had enough reason to kill Marion.
“If there is anyone under the influence of the dark world, then it is you. You were exposed to the dark
pathway last moon, and you are already a different person.” Kenneth accused.
Julian turned his attention to Marion, whose tone didn’t quiver when he made his accusations. “Those
are serious accusations, Marion. You should really think about them before using them.”
“I know, but it is the truth, my king,” he answered.
“And what proof do you have?”
“I do not have any proof; I have my gut.”
Julian never thought he would see the day when Marion would utter a ridiculous statement, but he just
did. “Your gut. I am to abandon all sense of reasoning and trust your gut.”
“That is the truth,” he answered.
“That is not how truth works.”
“That is how the truth works, my king. The facts, on the other hand, are different. Kenneth is under the
influence of the dark world, and who knows what bidding of them he has carried out since then?”
“And what about you?” Julian raised a brow.
“What about me?” His gaze/narrowed.
“Who is to say you are not the one doing the bidding of the dark world?”
Marion opened his mouth to speak and shut it, then shook his head. “For all I know, you might also be
under the control of the Dark World, and the only one who can find

out the truth is Fiona, and that witch made you send her away.”
“Enough!”
“Someone has to say it; do you know who she is or where she is from? How do we trust her over all
else? We might be doing the Dark world’s bidding blindly.”
“You will speak no more!” Julian snarled at him and took a step forward. “I do not need further proof; I
see your aim is to create division, and who are the authors of division and confusion? Doom and
mischief are masters of the dark world. I think the one working for them is you, Marion Rivers, and until
I can prove that you are not, you will stay confined in your quarters. This is mercy.”
Marion laughed and placed both hands on his head. “This is what Doom wants, and if you are giving it
to him, you will lose this battle because he is so much smarter and ahead of you. You are fighting the
wrong enemy, and the right ones are in your face.”
“Silent, Marion! I am sorry; I shouldn’t have exposed you to the dark world last moon, and I bear that
responsibility. It wasn’t your fault, so I will not punish you for it; however, this is for the best. Do not go
out looking for trouble or starting a fight, or you will incur more punishment for yourself. Your duty now
is to your wife and children. Go home and be a good father to them.” Julian said, placing his
compulsion powers on him.
“Take him away.” He commanded the guards, who immediately came and led Marion away from his
presence.
Once gone, Julian turned his attention to Kenneth, who seemed to be favouring his shoulder. “Are you
okay?”
He shook his head and said, “No, but I am fine; I’ll heal.”
“Come with me; I have an assignment for you. It is about Fiona.” He said that and walked away, and
Kenneth followed behind.
