Chapter 28


    Fiona’s POV


    Be drew her a warm bath after they came into the room, and when the water was ready, she urged


    her toe have her bath. She obeyed and did as she was told. Be had never offered to help her


    bathe herself, but she must have seen her trembling hands while holding the bar soap because she


    asked if she needed her help. Fiona shook her head as a sign that she had it under control.


    Be didn’t argue; instead, she gave her space and went to get her clothes ready.


    The event of the day still affected her, and she knew it would take a while to get over it. If the Lycan


    king hadn’t stepped in when he did, she would have died at the hands of Alpha Lukas. The thought of


    leaving her sons terrified her and made her want to adjust a thing or two..


    The major me fell on her shoulders; she should have known the type of person Vivian was, and


    tagging along with her team was her first mistake. Once that mistake was made, she could no longer


    pull out of it


    She got dressed after bathing, and Be brought her a bowl of cereal. It was easy to eat, and she


    epted and ate. After eating, she got into bed and shut her eyes, wanting to get a litle sleep before


    anything came up today.


    Her eyes fluttered, and she found herself back in the midst of the angry mob, and they yelled hateful


    and angry words at her. This time, unlike thest ones, she was on an execution block, and the mob


    raged beneath her.


    “She deserves to pay!” one yelled out.


    “This is the justice she deserves!” another said in a furious voice.


    She nced down at her hands and found they were in chains. The chams weren’t strong enough to


    hold her captive, but she didn’t have the strength to break out of them. She didn’t know why until it hit


    her; they had tamed her powers. Her hands travelled up immediately, and she felt the giga around her


    neck and her breath cut in her throat.


    This was the end for her, and there was no escaping this hell.


    “For the crime of crossing territories, you, Sky Lawson, are found guilty and therefore sentenced to


    death.” Alpha Lukas said. and the angry mob cheered her sentence.


    Her eyes blurred up, and just then she spotted someone from the corner of her eyes, and as her


    attention moved to them. she saw it was Vivian. She had a victorious look on her face, having


    aplished her goal.


    “Anyst words?” Alpha Lukas asked.


    “No!” Fiona cried out bitterly, and her eyes snapped open in bed. Sweat broke over her face, and her


    heart raced rapidly in her chest, trying to steady itself.


    In the same seconds, the door opened, and Be stepped into the room. Her eyes moved to hers, and


    they were filled with worry.


    “Are you okay, ma’am?”


    Fiona was too gone to ask why she had taken her title instead of calling her name as agreed upon. She


    shook her head. “I will be fine.”


    Be nodded, trusting her response. “You have a visitor.” She informed her.


    Fiona’s eyes narrowed at her words, and her eyes narrowed. She had been here for over a week, and


    she never had one, so who could it be?


    “Who is it?” she asked.


    “The Lycan king.” Be replied, and Fiona’s heart sk ipped in her chest, and they speeded up.


    What did he want? Surely he didn’te to talk about what happened, did he?


    It seemed to be the most obvious reason he was here. She never answered his question this morning.

    In truth, she did not speak to anyone. She didn’t have the strength to. She almost died, and that was


    the only thing she thought about.


    If he were back now, wanting to see her, it meant he wanted to know the truth and get to the root of


    what happened.


    “Did he say why he’s here?” She raised a brow.


    Be shook her head. “He didn’t.”


    Even if he had a reason for visiting, which she knew he did, he wouldn’t tell Be. He didn’t have any


    reason to answer to her or anyone else.


    She nodded and rose from her bed, wanting to head out, but Be’s confused look left her with a


    question. “Your hair.” She pointed it out, and she quickly arranged it before heading out with her.


    They came into the living room, and there they met the Lycan king standing there, alone, without his


    escort. Her breath cut in her throat at the sight of him: it felt strange to her.


    His eyes lifted, and they met her. They softened a little, and she thought she saw a smile cross his


    face.


    “Good morning, my king,” she bowed her head humbly.


    Be paused and whispered afternoon to her.


    “Good afternoon, my king.” She corrected herself.


    He chuckled, not taking offence at her first mistake. “It’s the 1 guess I must have woken you up from


    sleep,”


    As much as he wanted to take responsibility for it, it wasn’t his fault. She had woken up because she


    had had a nightmare. The dream was already a nightmare before she saw Vivian in it, and seeing the


    witch in her dream doubled the impact it had on her.


    She shook her head. “You didn’t, I was already awake when she came in to call me.” She replied, being


    honest.


    “Alright, good then. I am d you are speaking now,” he said, reminding her of her silence this


    morning. “You look so much


    better as well


    Be bowed her head, humble, and the king’s gaze moved to her. “I seek your permission to leave, my


    king”


    He nodded his consent, and she took her leave immediately.


    Fiona wanted to hold onto her hand and tell her not to leave her with the Lycan king. There was


    something about him that triggered a weakness within her, and she didn’t understand what it meant.


    She felt it this morning while they made their way back to the estate and couldn’t understand it. She


    didn’t want to feel that way again, but she couldn’t speak.


    Be exited, leaving them alone.


    Her head remained lowered and her eyes fixed to the floor.


    “I am sorry for what happened today.” He began to speak. “I should have never allowed you to go with


    Vivian’s pack: they are advanced and tend to neglect others


    Was that what he thought happened? Their neglect led to her wandering off


    Well, that was the only truth he had, and he was going to draw on it.


    “If you had shifted with me, it would have been different, and I do not want you to think this is what the


    full moon is like. It is fun, it is fulfilling, and it is a great bonding moment. I wish you had experienced


    that, and on behalf of the rest of us! want to say I’m sorry!”


    Would he believe her if she told him Vivian had taken her into the other territory? He seemed to trust


    his subordinate and believe her words above others. Still, she was going to tell her truth, whether he


    believed her or not.


    “I didn’t wander off; I was taken there, and I was abandoned just in time to get caught.” She answered,


    and this made him frown. “It was all nned from the very beginning. Ed, Fuss, Sussy, and Roli were


    led by Vivian,” she said.


    “Vivian?” he asked, not sounding like one who believed her words, She didn’t me him, but that


    would not stop her from speaking her truth.


    “She crossed us into the other territory, and when I told her we would disobey your orders if we crossed


    territories, the entire werewolf world is the Lycan king to rule over and have dominion over. Those were


    her exact words. I told her I didn’t want to go further, and that made her suggest hunting. Ed led the


    way, and he told me the rules. The team was split into two, and they would go out in pairs to hunt. He


    said. Whoever catches the biggest will eat both theirs and their opponent’s kill.”


    The Lycan king listened to everything she said, and though she didn’t know if he believed a word she


    said, she continued.


    “Fuss and Ed went first, and then Sussy and Roli, Vivian and I were thest, and I could only kill a


    squirrel. When I returned, I didn’t find any of them; instead, I found a mob of angry Lycans. That was


    how it all happened. You may not believe me, but that is the truth.”


    “Vivian and her team gave the same detailed ount, and in all of it, you wandered off after failing to


    match up with their speed.” He told her.


    “They are right. I couldn’t match up with their speed, but I didn’t wander off; they always waited for me


    until they finally abandoned me in the strange territory. This is my first time shifting in five years, and so


    I couldn’t match up to their speed or strength. So how did I manage to escape from them without being


    found? How did I manage to kill four massive wild animals? That makes no sense. I know you have


    known Vivian and her team for years, but I am not lying; this is the truth.”


    If he believed her, it didn’t show in his eyes.


    “I believe you, Ms. Lawson.” He told her, and for a moment, she thought she had hallucinated those


    words. It was her words against five others, and he was choosing to believe her. That was something


    she had never experienced before or thought


    She chose to tell the truth, and it didn’t matter to her if he believed her or not; it was more to get the


    truth out, but he had chosen her side of the event over the others. Perhaps he said that to make her


    feel better about herself.


    “You do not have to say the words you think I want to hear, my king.”


    He shook his head and took a step forward. “I believe you because everything you have said matches


    what I had earlier suspected. You have also gotten a few people on your side who swear you aren’t


    capable of breaking thew or disobeying my words. And it is all based on the actions you have


    disyed since your arrival at the estate, I cannot tell you what the punishment for Vivian and her team


    will be, but I am d you are safe. That is what is important. I know the events of the morning were


    terrifying, but it will pass.”


    Her eyes grew ssy, and she bowed her head to conceal her tears. She had never had justice work in


    her favour before, so this was so different. She didn’t know how to react.


    “We are better people than what you saw, and I hope you will let us show you that.”


    He was just as noble as everyone said he was.
