Chapter 13
The door flew open before Fiona could think of what to do, and in walked Vivian. Behind her were two
men serving as escorts. She looked the same way she had always looked like a snake.
What were the odds that she would be standing in the same room with her after many years?
A
part
of her feared Vivian would discover who she was, but she reminded herself that if over hundred people
couldn’t recognise her before and after pictures, Vivian couldn’t either. That was the assurance she
held onto despite her weary mind.
Vivian stepped towards her with her eyes narrowed and filled with disapproval, making her wonder
what the hell she was doing here.
Thest she saw her was at Langfield, if anything, she should be there, so why was she here?
Snakes had their ways, after all. There was so much she needed to know.
“I heard you are the healer; I am Vivian Jackson.” She began with a condescending tone of voice. “I am
the Lycan king’s personal adviser.”
Fiona held herself together because the snake’s very presence was revolting and infuriating, just as it
was over five years ago..
If Vivian was introducing herself to her, then it meant she didn’t recognise her. This gave her much
king, then she would see to it to make her work here difficult.

Fiona returned silence to her as a response, and she didn’t seem to like that much because her nose
red up in disgust.
She stepped towards her, her tone now reproving as if she was in charge. “I also heard you wouldn’t
stopped walking when she stood a few feet away from her. “What kind of person refuses to help her
own people?” she demanded.
Just like earlier, Fiona responded to her question with silence. It was getting to Vivian, and her teeth
gritted, and she red at her.
“Now you listen, you will do as the king tells you, and you will do only that, or you will have me to
answer to.” she said and stormed away from the room, and her escorts followed behind her.
Fiona turned to Be, who was still standing behind her and had seen all the drama Vivian had yed.
“Who is she?” Fiona asked, pretending that she didn’t know who Vivian was.
“A witch, that is who she is.” Be bit out crudely, and Fiona’s eyes widened because she didn’t think
the timid and shy girl had the energy for hate. Be must have realised she had spoken out of tone
because her eyes flickered with panic. “I am sorry; I shouldn’t have called her a witch.”
Fiona wanted to tell her that she didn’t need to apologise because that was what Vivian was. A witch
and a snake, but she couldn’t; that would give too much away.
Fiona smiled. “It’s fine; she doesn’t seem to be the nicest person in the room.”
“She is not; pleasee with me to the bathroom while I get your water ready.” She said that and led
the way.
Fiona followed behind, still not believing that she would have this huge mansion all to herself until the
time she would leave.
She waited as Be got the water ready, and a few questions ran around in her head, and they were
important. “So, Ms. Jackson works with the Lycan king?”
She hoped that Be would share a little information with her so she would know. what she was up
against.
The younger woman seemed willing to share a few information. “The gue. broke out over five years
ago, and the rebels swamped the entiremunity, infecting everyone they came across. Vivian
helped the King tame the rage, and hemended her quick action and she has followed him since
then. She has also worked her way up, stepping on the heads of as many as she could along the way.”
Fiona’s brow narrowed. “What do you mean by stepping on the heads of as many as she could along
the way?”
“She betrayed a lot of people, including her parents, which led to their deaths at the hands of the
gue. There were rumours she had affairs with her sister’s fiancé and dumped him after he got the
gue. That was all four years ago.”

Learning about the deaths of her biological parents was a heartbreak for her. She
prayed they were at least able to find peace in the life beyond. Henry, on the other hand, she didn’t
care about. Yes, he was once her mate, but he hurt her on his own ord. He cheated on her and
chose Vivian over her, making her a fool for believing in his love and affection. He rejected her when
she was already down.
“She is really evil, then?”
Be sighed and nodded. “She really is. She cut me with her wsst night because I didn’t bring her
water on time.” She said this and lifted up her hand to reveal the cut on her wrist, which was slowly
healing.
Fiona’s eyes became sorrowful. “I’m sorry she did that to you.”
Be shook her head. “It’s fine. It will take a while, since I am an omega, but it will heal.”
Fiona nodded in agreement. She remembered all the times she was bullied as a child and abused by
her bullies; she didn’t heal as fast as others, and then she learned it was the plight of being an omega.
When a Lycan is hurt or wounded by someone higher in rank than them, their injuries take a while to
heal. Since everyone on the chain of hierarchy was higher than Omegas, it was always an unending
pain.
“Can I see that?” Fiona asked, already reaching out her hand to Be. The maid hesitated but gave her
hand to Fiona. She ced her palm over the bruised wrist, and after a few minutes, she removed it,
and behold, Be’s hand was as good as
new.
Be stared at her hand in disbelief before staring up at Fiona. “Thank you,
ma’am.”
She smiled at her and shook her head, thinking nothing of it.
She nced at her hand once again and then back at Fiona. “Why?”
“Because I was once like you. I know what it feels like, and I would do anything to make sure no one
goes through it again.” She revealed it to her, and although she did not go into every detail, she knew
she had gotten her point across to the younger woman.
“Thank you, ma’am; you’re indeed a miracle to us all.” Be bowed her head.
“You’re wee, and I only pray that is true.”
“Your water is ready now.”
Fiona didn’t say another word before taking off her clothes.
