    ght about them.”


    She kept silent, as she didn’t know how to respond to his words.


    “You are right, my father did the bare minimum. He betrayed thismunity. and I followed in his


    footsteps.” He didn’t seem proud of that decision.


    “Is that why you came with me?”


    “I couldn’t stay back anymore; they were my responsibility as their king, and I have yed the ming


    game for too long. You were right; they turned to rebellion as theirst resort, and they only did so


    because we turned our backs on them when they needed us the most. How can I call myself the Lycan


    king? How can I call myself the ruler, knowing what I know?”

    He was breaking down right in front of her, and she didn’t know what to do to help him. She ced her


    hand on his, which was on the balcony’s railing, and she felt a spark within her. He stayed still, and he


    must not have felt the spark, so she kept her hand there. “You are still the Lycan king: your errors and


    past shorings don’t change who you are. What matters is that you want to be better for the sake of


    everyone you rule over. You came with us because you are better than your father and your past


    mistakes. That is the king this world needs.


    He turned to stare at her with eyes she couldn’t read, and she hoped she hadn’t said something out of


    context


    He smiled and nodded, believing her words. “Thank you for everything, Sky.” He said, his eyes filled


    with adoration


    In this moment, she wanted to tell him her name was Fiona and not Sky. She wanted him to know the


    real her, but she couldn’t do that. There was so much, and it was more than her desire for him.


    She broke out of her thoughts when he wrapped his hand around hers, which was first on his, and gave


    it a firm squeeze. Then he silently returned his gaze to the sky, and she followed him.


    “I will not be able to deal with your gue this week, my king,” she informed him.


    He nodded. “I understand, and I ept that on one condition.”


    “What condition?”


    “That you no longer call me by my title but by my name. My name is Julian McQueen and I’ll want you


    to call me that.”


    There was no alternative for her. She would not bnce doing her work here and also healing him of


    his gue, and that meant she would have to give in to his demands. She had to call him by his name.


    The numbers of those with the gue in the camp on the outskirts had doubled greatly, which took


    Fiona by surprise. She knew they couldn’t ovee her since she had five men with her.


    She spotted the Lycan king on the other side of the camp, approaching where she sat, attending to


    those outside the camp. Seeing him startled her because this camp was so different from the


    settlement. It was filthy and not well organised aspared to the settlement. It took a lot of effort for


    her to get used to it, and she

    didn’t even expect him toe close.


    She rose from her seat and approached him, hoping to stop him halfway. His scent engulfed her, and it


    made her tremble from where she was, but she had to go closer and speak to him.


    “What are you doing here?” she asked.


    He had taken notice of her as she drew closer to him, and his gaze didn’t waver as he watched her


    draw near. “Visiting the camp on the outskirts of themunity where those with the gues are?”


    That was not the question she asked. “You do not have to be here. It is nothing like the settlement or


    what you’re used to


    He smiled and, in his eyes, stayed confusion. “I want to be here; besides, you’re here?


    “It’s different; you’re the Lycan king, and I am a healer. This is my job, not yours.”


    He ced his hands on her shoulders, and her legs almost gave up on her at the touch. Goosebumps


    scattered all over her skin, and her nipples hardened underneath her bra.


    His smile turned into a sly smirk. “You are really cute when you get protective, Sky, but I want to be


    here. Yes, I am the king, but that is even more reason why I should be here


    She couldn’t argue anymore, and she returned to focus on her duties–the few that were left before the


    day would end.


    Julian wanted to restore the broken rtionship. Many of them hated the Lycan king because they


    thought he had abandoned them. He didn’t want that anymore and wanted to be a true ruler for his


    people.


    He also instructed the movers to return to the pack estate and carry words to Beta Keh, who was


    ruler in his absence. They were to bring food and amenities through the portal to themunities; they


    were to have not less than fifty ment on this task. Grandfield had around three hundred living souls in it,


    and this food and amenities would aid them until they could function on their own. The movers bowed


    their heads and departed.


    “We have over one hundred and twenty people here today, which is four times the number it was


    yesterday.” Jose said, returning to them after going to count the number of gued Lycans present on


    the outskirts.


    The number was a surprise, but it wasn’t more than she could handle. She had done three times that


    number in a day in the past. She was also grateful that people wereing out to be healed. It would


    make her work here very easy. At the eighth hour, she was done healing thest gue.

    She returned to the sanctuary to speak with the elder. She needed to find the fountain of death, which


    was said to be the root of the gue in the werewolf world. Being an elder and older, he would have


    knowledge of it


    Elder Rio knew about the ce and was more than happy to help. But he insisted it was best to visit


    the spot during the day, and so they retired to the vi to prepare for their third day.
