Chapter 22
Jace, the envoy of the Lycan king who had kidnapped her sons and brought them here, stood before her. She hadn’t seen him since the first time he came to meet her in the hospital, and now, looking at him, she had no words for him.
She rose to her feet and asked, “What do you want?”
He shook his head. “I do not want anything. The Lycan king would like to speak to you in his court.” He said that and then headed out, as if expecting her to follow him.
Of course, she didn’t want to follow him; she still hated the cruel act of kidnapping her sons, which he did to bring her here, but the Lycan king hadn’t done anything to demand disrespect yet, so she had to bury her bad blood and go with him.
She left Jashin and June in the care of Bella before leaving the house. Before her mansion were two black jeeps, and she knew these probably came with the envoy sent by the Lycan king.
Was the Lycan king’s residence that far away from here? She wondered to herself but said nothing as she followed them and entered the car.
It was a twenty-minute drive through the estate before they arrived at the residence of the Lycan king. The car stopped, and they got out of the car. Fiona’s jaw almost hit the ground while she stared at the magnificent white structure standing before her. It was a castle.
This looked more like a palace than a house. This was where the Lycan king lived, and this indeed looked fitting for him, being the ruler and strongest being in the werewolf world. The wealth, influence, and class he commanded were ones she
ere didn’t think she had seen, both in the werewolf world and in the human world.
Fiona remembered the man she had seen with June and Jashin in the backyard playing yesterday and told herself this was where he lived. He had brought himself low to play with the boys despite not knowing them or being on the same level. He was indeed noble.
Jace led the way, and she followed behind. They stepped into the house together, and the inside was just as glorious as the outside, and Fiona’s mouth did not close up. She had never seen such elegance, such beauty, or such a fine array of perfection and class. The area which she saw had more traditional outlook with expensive mahogany wood and a touch of gold.
“Follow me,

Ms. Lawson,” Jace said and walked away. She followed, and they made.
their way through the hallway, then used the stairs that led
up.
She figured this was where the Lycan king’s court was, and she noted.
After almost a minute of walking, they took a left turn and came to stand before the third door on the left.
Jace knocked on the door slowly and waited for a beckoning from within. It came
soon after.
“Enter.” The single words caused chaos within her and goosebumps erupted all over her skin. Her heart also tightened in her chest, and she knew she was nervous. Nervous to be before him.
Jace pushed open the door and stepped into the large room. Fiona looked
surprised. When Jace said court; she had expected something rather small, but this was just as wide as the living room of her mansion on the estate.
Jace stepped out of her way, and she didn’t see the Lycan king in the courtroom as she had expected to. The seat was empty, and it made her wonder where he had taken himself. If he wasn’t in the room, then who told them to enter?
“You look better than yesterday.” She heard the voice of the Lycan king speak from behind, and she immediately turned around to find him standing behind her.
Unlike yesterday, he had his guards beside him, and she didn’t know who was more terrifying, him or his guards. His presence made her weak, and she knew it had to do with the respect he commanded from being the Lycan king. This was how he normally appeared, and she remembered it from over five years ago when he came to Langfield. Yesterday he must have decided against it since he was spending time with the boys.
She forgot to breathe, and everything around her seemed to have also come to a standstill. All her senses shut down.
“Are
you okay?” he asked, his brow furrowing as he stared at her, frozen on the spot.
She regained control of her senses, and she shook her head. “I am fine; I am sorry about that.” She cleared her throat.
“I said you look so much better than yesterday,” he repeated the words he said first when he made his presence known in the courtroom.
She nodded. She had stared at herself in the glass window of the castle when
coming in, and she saw the difference.
She had regained all she lost with rest, sleep, and good food. It felt like magic or sorcery, but it was all real, and she did nothing to trigger it.
