Chapter 58


    th her knowledge of medicine, she would be useful to the other physicians.


    She meant every word she said, and she hoped he did as well.


    He did not hesitate before giving her the go–ahead she wanted, but he asked one. thing in return.


    Tomorrow was the full moon, and he wanted her to shift with him. and go beside him while he led the


    pack.


    His request took her by surprise; he wanted her to stay beside him while he led the pack. Anyone who


    stayed beside the Lycan king while he led the pack wasn’t just a nob*dy; they were someone special to


    him. This meant one thing. He wanted to show her as his partner to the rest of the pack. The news will


    fly, and in no time they will know she’s his partner and prospective mate.


    Was she ready for this change, though? She needed to think, and so she told him she would give him


    an answer tomorrow.


    The next morning, she returned to her usual routine. She got up to prepare for the day. She wore a


    simple grey dress thatplimented her looks. Thest time she was at the settlement, she was Sky


    Lawson, and now she was Fiona Lawrence. She contemted her decision to stay or leavest night.


    Her home was here now, and with Julian, it would only get better.


    She also missed the human world and sometimes wondered how their day was and if all was alright


    with them. She missed them, and though the chances of her return had grown slimmer, she would visit


    someday in the future.


    She stepped out of the car and approached the settlement. Everything still went on as it used to when


    she was here. Yes, the physicians couldn’t cure the gue, but they could slow its effect on the host


    and, doing so, extend their lives. This was the -same–method the Lycan king used with his gue, and


    they had developed a sort


    of meditation room in the settlement to take care of all that. There were a few hundred with the gue


    left here, and knowing she wouldn’t be able to heal them stung a little, but there was nothing she could


    do about it. She took satisfaction in knowing there would be no outbreak of it in the future.


    She stepped into the healers‘ room, and there she found Marion and a few of the

    physicians who worked at the settlement, carrying on their duties. She stayed silent in the room, staring


    at them in silence and saying nothing until they took notice of her presence.


    “Sky!” Marion called and stepped towards her. His eyes flickered a little. “I learned that your name isn’t


    Sky, but Fiona.”


    She shook her head. “Yeah, but it’s fine if you call me Sky; I have used it for over five years now, so it


    sticks.” She chuckled.


    “You also told him the truth,” he said, and his voice dropped towards the end to tell her which ‘truth‘ he


    spoke of.


    “Yes, it was only a matter of time, and thank you for trusting me enough to keep it to yourself until I


    came around to revealing it.”


    He shook his head and said, “It wasn’t my truth to reveal.”


    Her eyes took notice of a strange face, which she had never seen in the healing. room when she was


    here weeks ago. Her attention lingered, and Marion must have noticed because he spoke.


    “That is Jolene, my mate and wife. Shees to the settlement and assists in the best way she can


    most days now.”


    She turned to him. “She is really pretty.” She said, and that was the truth because the brtedy on


    the other side of the room looked breath–taking.


    He grinned and nodded in agreement. “She really is. The moon goddess must have thought highly of


    me because I don’t deserve her.”


    Her heart warmed up upon hearing his deration.


    Jolene must have overheard their conversation because she drew near to them with a smile on her


    face, which disyed her perfect sets of teeth. “You must be Fiona, the healer. I am Jolene Rivers,”


    she said, stretching her hand out for a formal shake.


    Fiona took her hand in hers but said, “I am no longer a healer.”


    She rolled her adorable brown eyes. “The many you have healed, including our daughter, would


    disagree with you.” She told her.


    Thisdy was just as sweet and kind as her husband. “Well, thank you, I am here conversing with your


    husband, and he had no idea why he got so lucky with you.” Fiona revealed, and Jolene turned to


    nce up at Marion, who had gone silent.


    11:47 Mon, 8 Jan


    “Marion always sells himself short, but he is amazing.”


    Jolene didn’t have to tell her; she had witnessed how amazing he was.


    Marion ran his hand over his face, trying to rid his face of the smile on it. “Thank you, Fiona.” He said,


    his smile lingering.


    “You are wee; now please put me to work.”


    The next few hours flew by faster than she expected. Thesest few days, she watched the time pass


    slowly, but here now, the time has moved faster. Maybe because now she had a purpose and wasn’t


    just shut up in the house.


    “This should sustain you for the next week.” She told the woman who had just stepped out of the


    meditation room that she looked much better than when she went in there.


    “Thank you.” She told her and walked away, and Fiona moved to the next on the line to see her in the


    healing room.


    “This would be thest we will attend to today. Inform the rest, please.” Marion told her before leading


    the gued man into the meditation room.


    She came outside the healing room to the camps at the settlement to ry the information she just


    received to them. Their eyes had so much hope of being attended to, knowing they wouldn’t make her


    heart clench. Still, she had to do ast she was told.


    “The physicians will carry out your healing tomorrow.”


    “But we have waited all day.” She heard from the back, and the people gathered around agreed with


    whoever just spoke.


    “The physicians are out of strength; if they break down, they will not be able to help you the way they


    should.”


    “You are the healer. Why don’t you heal us?” Another spoke from the back, and they all agreed.


    “Because I lost my healing abilities after getting attacked by Ted and left at the point of death,” she told


    them, struggling to stop her voice from cracking. “I survived, but I lost my healing abilities, so as much


    as I want to, I cannot heal anyone.”


    They didn’t say anything anymore, and she turned to leave when she felt someone grab her hand.


    Startled, she turned to see a young boy with the gue, looking to


    11:47 Mon, 8 Jan


    be around eight years old, holding onto her hand. He took her hand and ced it on his head, with his


    eyes closed.

    “I am sorry. I cannot heal you.” She told him, but he didn’t listen to her. He held onto her hand and kept


    it there.


    Her eyes welled up, and the people gathered around her stared at her. She wished. she could help


    him. Her tears fell, and she felt warmth go through her hand. It was not as prominent as before, but it


    was there, and she felt it.


    When her eyes fluttered back up, the paleness in his skin had reduced drastically, much to her surprise


    and the surprise of those with the gue. The boy, being healed, stepped away from her, happily


    knowing what had been done within him.


    The next moment, they all surged towards her to take her down. She knew she had to get away, but


    shecked the strength she needed to move. They would drain her of the little strength she had left and


    might kill her.


    She felt a hand pull her back, and immediately someone stepped before her. “Stand down!” Julian


    roared at them, and they all slowed down and backed away from them.


    He turned to her, and he looked concerned as he stared at her. “Are you okay?” he asked, his eyes


    already inspecting her.


    She nodded and said, “I am.” all that had happened to her still surprised her. She knew what would


    have happened to her had he note to her aid.


    “You are sure,” he said, reaching out to stroke her face, not minding that they were not in a private


    ce but rather before not less than a hundred people. He was showing affection regardless. She


    didn’tin, either


    She nodded. “I am. What are you doing here?” She asked with a raised brow.


    “I wanted to see you.” He said it with a little smile. “I am sorry it came as a surprise.”


    She shook her head, not angered by his presence; if anything, she felt happy. “I don’t mind.” She


    wrapped her hands around him and ced her head on his chest before saying, “I will shift with you


    tonight.”


    This was the answer to the question he had askedst night.
