Chapter 53
Julian’s POV
He said the truth; he wished she was with him; here, but he could wait; he would have to. She was
worth the wait
It felt like a dream, and the way he felt he couldpare to none other. It was real and intense, and
being able to even express it was a privilege. He wasn’t alone with how he felt; he had seen it in her
eyes as well; he knew she had feelings for him, even desires. That gave him a little hope.
After her attack and recovery, he knew she would not be able to take away his curse anymore; her
powers were gone, and that meant his curse would never leave. That didn’t matter to him; she
mattered to him. Since the dance feast, he knew she was his mate, and he was made for her. Nothing
could change that now.
“I miss you. Take care of yourself,” he said, ending the call. At the same moment, Ken stepped into his
courtroom.
He must have overheard thest part of his conversation, because his brow arched. “If I didn’t know
better, I would say you have fallen in love again.”
Julian pressed his l*ps together, not wanting to admit or deny anything. He was his friend and would
know the truth, no matter how he spun it. The way he felt about her still scared him.

“Your silence says a lot.” His eyes sparked with interest. “Who is that?”
“Sky Lawson.” He answered.
His brows furrowed. “The healer?”
He nodded, and his cheeks warmed at the very thought of her. “Yes, she’s the one.”
“How do you know she’s your mate? You were with a lot of others before her; Nina was one of them.”
He pointed out, adding, “This could just be you taking things out of proportion
He nodded, agreeing with Ken’s words. “You are right, I have taken things out of proportion in the past,
but that was because I was desperate to find a mate. I believed I had to find one. I should have
believed in the moon goddess’s perfect n and timing, but I didn’t and made a few bad decisions.” He
answered, “But this is different.”
“How?”
“I felt it,” he confessed, moving to stand by the window. “Nina told me I changed the moment she
stepped into the estate, and she was right; I did. I didn’t even realise it until muchter.”
He turned to Ken and said, “You knew how you felt when you met Lily, right?”
Ken smiled, and his eyes glittered with a show of love. Funny how the most brutal and feared man in
his pack after him could be so affected by the love of a mate. It was a miracle–one of the finest the
moon goddess ever created.
“I was sweaty and giddy: my heart raced like it was climbing the mountain, and my feet felt light on the
floor.” He revealed.
“I felt a couple of those when I was with her, I thought it was wrong because I had Nina.” He revealed.
“For her, I went against my own words and was ready to fight for her. That wasn’t normal, and I knew
that. She didn’t have to do anything; she just had to be herself, and I still fell”
So, you never felt any of this with Nina?” Ken asked, with a confused look on his face.
Saying he didn’t feel many of those emotions would be a lie, because he did. Hence why, for the
longest time, he thought she was his mate. The feelings they shared were strong, and if this gue
hadn’t persevered, he would have made her his mate. “I did, but something I felt for Sky, I never felt for
Nina.”
He could remember the moment he knew she was the one–the moment his soul. became entwined
with hers. Thinking about it now still sent tingles within him, and he had relieved those moments over
and over, and it felt the same way. Powerful and unique. It was in Grandfield, it was at the feast while
they danced.
“Like what?”
He didn’t hesitate to give an answer. “Like knowing deep down in my soul, she’s my mate/I have never
been more certain of anything. He had spoken no words truer before.
“And her sons? What will you do with them?” Ken asked.
He bonded with her sons long before he did with her, and though he was not permitted to see them yet,
he knew they would add much colour to his life, just like their mother had so far.

He smiled at the thought of them. “I will make them my warriors–if their mother
lets me.”
Ken scoffed. “You have everything figured out, I see.”
He hard. He was counting down the hours until her return. He would ask her to be his mate, his Luna,
to rule with him from now until this gue takes him to the life beyond.
“I didn’t think I would say this after what I saw with Nina, but you are in love once again, and I am
happy for you.
He felt happy too, happier than he thought he would ever be.
He couldn’t wait to have her back.
He spent the next day in his court deliberating with the council about changing thews regarding
specific crimes in themunity. His ns were to understand, implement them, and then doing the
same for the rest of the surroundingmunities. He picked up Sky’s scent; it was a little different, but
he couldn’t miss it. He knew it was hers, and he rose from his seat at the table and begged to be
excused. He walked outside, more like he ran. As he came outside, he saw the Prado Jeeping to
a stop just before his mansion.
Jace got down and opened the door for Sky, who came out, and the door shut.
Julian paused when he realised the one stepping towards him looked different from the Sky that left
here yesterday.
She had the same length of hair, but hers was brte, not red, and her eyes were amber, not blue.
He knew she was Sky: Jace and Drew would not bring her here if she weren’t. He knew they were the
same person because he still felt the pull and tug on his heart. Yet, the change he just witnessed made
him question a lot of things.
“Sky?” he called out, consumed with confusion.
“My king,” she said in a very formal yet bruised tone of voice. She also took his name, which told him
she now saw him as an authoritative figure and nothing more. That wasn’t good.
She continued to speak, pulling him out of his thoughts. “I am Fiona Lawrence The orders you gave
five years ago brought about the execution of my parents, Otis and Dorothy Lawrence her revtion
came in a bitter tone.

His heart squeezed a little in his chest despite being lost with everything happening. “I do not
understand.” He spoke the truth.
She shook her head, and tears ran down her face. He could tell she was in pain, and she believed he
was responsible for it. “I was the criminal on trial in Langfield over five years ago, and after my escape,
you gave Vivian a charge to kill my parents
At her words, his memories took him back. He was indeed in Langfield, but only because he heard
rumours of the rebels intent on invading themunity, these rumours were proven true after his
arrival. There was little he could remember, but he still remembered that there was a trial before his
arrival. He had sent for her, but she managed to escape from Ken because of the rebels‘ invasion
Vivian informed him that Fiona Lawrence worked with the rebels, hence her trial. His anger kindled
against the traitor, and he gave Vivian the charge to find and take any means necessary for her
execution:
Learning that Sky was the same Fiona on trial left him not only in shock but also in guilt, and he didn’t
know what to tell her.
“They were good people; they didn’t deserve what you did to them.” More tears streamed down her
face.
Fiona Lawrence.” “That was the name of the runaway criminal. He knew it well.
“If you meant what you said about me being important, then you will stay away from me.” She said that
and stormed away from him.
He couldn’t go after her, he couldn’t bring himself to move; the weight of his guilt
held him down.
This wasn’t how he thought her return would go.
Oh, how badly he has wronged her.
