Chapter 29


    Fiona couldn’t think of those who had spoken well about her to the Lycan king, but she was grateful to


    each of them.


    “You do not know what those words mean to me, my king. Thank you,” she said, ying with her


    fingers.


    “I am d I know the truth, and thank you for being honest.” He told her.


    “Since it’s the day after the full moon, you will get to stay home and visit your sons when you want.”


    His words lit up her eyes, and she nced up to see if he was joking, but he looked serious.


    Her hands travelled up to cover her gasping mouth. “Thank you; I do not know how to repay you for all


    you have done.”


    “I do.” He answered, and her eyes narrowed a little. “Come have dinner with me and Lady Nina.”


    That wasn’t payment for everything he had done, but this was the payment he was asking for.


    She nodded, epting his offer without dy. “Yes, I will.”


    He smiled, and the sight of it made her stomach flutter. “Great, then I look forward to seeing you at


    dinner.”


    He said that and walked away, but she spoke, making him halt in his step. “I never got to thank you for


    saving my life, so thank you, my king. She bowed her head.


    He said nothing before walking away.


    The day went on better than she expected; yes, it had begun gloomy and filled with terror, but it had


    gotten better. It was all thanks to the Lycan king, whose presence in her mansion had made everything


    better.


    June had once asked whether their father was a bad man and she couldn’t answer then. She didn’t


    know the man five years ago. Now, having spent this time with him and heard so much goodness about


    him, she had an answer when she visited them earlier. She told them about their father, and she told


    them he was a good man. A man of noble character, integrity, and value.


    She saw how happy the boys were to learn about him, and they asked her if they would get to meet


    him when they left here. She wanted to tell them they had already met him, but she couldn’t The Lycan


    king already had his life with the woman he loved and would someday make his mate. She didn’t want


    to destroy that. It wouldn’t be fair. Besides, the truth might ruin everything. He might want to keep his


    sons here, and she wanted to leave as soon as she finished her assignment here. That would bring


    conflict, one she will never win.


    This was selfish thinking, but she didn’t care.


    The pack estate wasn’t the safest; after what happened to her, she knew her sons would never be safe


    as long as they were here in the same ce Vivian and her team were.


    She owed him her life, so she would do all she needed to do and fix what needed to be fixed before


    leaving.


    “Which do you think is better?” Fiona asked Be, who was searching through the wardrobe, to find the


    most appropriate pair of shoes,


    She turned and found her holding onto her peach dress and the emerald dress.


    “Oh, this is hard; they are both lovely dresses.”


    “Well, I will meet the king and hisdy in less than thirty minutes; which do you think is appropriate?”


    She raised a brow.


    She didn’t want to put in much effort, but she also didn’t want to appear like the worst at the table.


    *Then I would suggest the emerald; the sweetheart disys elegance and ss,” She exined,


    Fiona beamed at them. “I knew I could count on you.”


    She got ready in the emerald dress, and Be handed her the silver heels as aplimentary style.


    She stared at herself, loving her look.


    She barely ever yed dress-up. Her line of work didn’t permit it. Seeing herself now like this, she


    admired what she saw, Her short red hair rested on her shoulders, and she had a silver ne


    around her neck. Her blue contact lenses created eyes that stared back at her and her rosy cheeks.


    She was barely the girl she once was, and that was okay.


    “Oh, this looks so good,” Be gushed from beside her.


    “Do you think I am overdressed for dinner?” she asked, immediately bing self-aware


    Be shook her head. “Wait till you see what Lady Nina will wear… No one outshines thedy of the


    Lycan king,” she told her, and that pacified her a little.


    The horn of the car went off outside, and Fiona knew it was the ride sent over by the Lycan king to pick


    her up.


    She didn’t want to keep them waiting, so she picked up the silver clutch that matched the shoes and


    made her way out of the


    Toom


    Jace was out there waiting for her, and though she was not happy at the sight of him, she got into the


    car, and he drove her


    away.


    They spent the first half of their trip to the Lycan King’s castle in silence, but Jace soon spoke. “I know I

    might be toote in saying this, but I am sorry for the misunderstanding we had in the beginning, Ms


    Lawson, I do not want that to be the thing that will cross your mind whenever you see me.


    She stayed silent, not knowing if she was in the right ce to ept his apology and forgive him yet.


    Yes, the king gave the order, and he had to carry out his king’s orders, but what he did. raking her sons,


    was wrong


    “I lost my wife to the gue, and I would have lost my daughter too if you hadn’te. Drew has lost


    his entire family in thest five years. It still doesn’t excuse what I did, but it exins my desperation. I


    hope that someday you will get to forgive me.” He said, and the car came to a stop.


    He got down and came over to her side, holding the door open for her. She thanked him and got down.


    He led her, and she silently followed behind him to the building
