Chapter 27
Julian’s POV
He should have noticed something would go wrong with her shift. He had been the reason she came out to shift. He told her it was essential, and he should have carried her with his team
When Vivian suggested taking her with her team, he noticed the uneasiness within her. He brushed it off and told himself it was because she was new to all of this, so he let them carry on.
As the shift ended, he and his team returned to the field for numbering. Doing that was essential in order to know if anyone had wandered into another territory and gotten caught in it during the shift. Vivian then informed him how Sky had wandered from the team, and they couldn’t find her after searching for a few hours.
He panicked. She was the last person he expected to wander off.
He needed to find her.
He knew his stand on crossing territories, but this was different for so many reasons. This was her first time shifting in a long time, and she was also new to their world. Last, she was the healer of the plague. The punishment for crossing territories on a full moon varies, and some territories pay death to such Lycans. He couldn’t let them harm her their world still needed her, and even if they didn’t need her, he couldn’t leave her there
He asked where they last saw her, and Vivian told her it was around the territory of the retaliation pack. He didn’t think about it before dashing through the forest of the estate and towards the Retaliation Pack estate. They shared a border, and it was so obvious no one could miss it, but Sky had, and now he had to save her.

He arrived just in time to save her from the claws of death, and he was grateful Alpha Lukas hadn’t given into his rage and killed her.
Julian had always been one to respect the law and encourage others to follow it. He despised anyone who broke the law and always told them to bear the punishment. But this law, he had to break in order to save the lives of thousands.
They didn’t know who she was, and when they did, their anger subsided. Sky’s work at the settlement wasn’t limited only to the Lycan king’s estate; it involved everyone from all parts of their world; she was their saviour.
They didn’t race it back; he figured that after what she had been through, she wouldn’t have the strength for a race, so they walked. They would walk for the one and a half hours it took to get to the estate.
Her silence was loud as they made their way back home, and he wanted to know what she thought. He wanted to know what went on in her head. The silence was also something he didn’t like but had to endure.
He wanted to know what happened and how she found herself in the retaliation territories. Vivian had told him she wandered away from them, but something in him didn’t believe it. Sky didn’t seem like one who would wander around, and he was certain her wolf wasn’t either.
After over an hour of walking, he could now see the pack estate field, and that made him ask “How did you get there?” He needed clarity on this. “Vivian said you had wandered off, and they couldn’t find you.” He added.
She didn’t answer him, and he glanced at her to find her head down and her tail fallen. He knew what that meant; it was a state of defeat and shame. He had experienced that at some point in the past, and he didn’t want to add to it.
They arrived at the pack estate’s field, and he saw a few of those he had left to go had Sky still waiting for him. Vivian was one of them, and Nina was as well. Then he remembered that he didn’t even ask for Nina’s permission before he dashed off to go save Sky. Yes, his actions were accountable to no one, but she wasn’t no one. She was his partner in all this. Nina didn’t look offended, though, and he knew he would give her an apology as soon as they were alone.
Sky shifted into human form, and her maid, Bella, wrapped her up in woollen cloth. Nina also held out a coat for him, and he shifted back to his human form, giving her a grateful smile.
His attention moved when he heard Vivian’s voice. “I’m so glad you are safe,” she said, walking towards Sky, but she shunned
her and walked away from the field, not looking at anyone before leaving
“The other territories will hear about this, and they will not be very happy that you have broken the law and your words to them” Nina said as they stepped into the room, and he shut the door.
He sighed and rubbed his hand over his chin. “I know, I did not expect the one who would be caught crossing territories to be Sky.”
“Did she say why she did, though?”
