Chapter 45

The next minute, the noises of the rebels filled the entire space outside the sanctuary. The rebels in their multitude circled around them, looking like they were about to attack. Fiona’s heart was hammering at a fast pace at this point.

She knew about the rebels, and she had heard stories about them from the Lycan king and a few others. They had gone around, causing terror and infecting other communities with the plague. And no matter how hard the king worked to stop them, they always found their way to return and terrorise the communities ever

more.

Fiona saw their numbers, and they were over forty. Those with the Lycan king were less than ten. It would not be a tough fight to subdue the rebels, as they looked ready to make trouble. They had to find another way around this that would involve less bloodshed and chaos. This community had been through enough already.

One of the rebels stepped forward, and he seemed to be their leader. “I heard that Julian McQueen, the Lycan king, had invaded Grandfield.” He said, taking another step forward. He didn’t seem to share the same sentiment of respect that those around the Lycan king held for him. He couldn’t be blamed for it; those in Grandfield didn’t consider Julian their king; he hadn’t been a king to them in years.

“And who did you hear that from?” Julian asked.

“Someone,” he replied, not going into the details.

“That someone lied,” he replied.

“And I am supposed to believe the words of the Lycan king who turns his back on his people and sits in his white castle?” he demanded, his brow furrowed.

“You will speak to the king with respect, you worthless piece of trash!” Jace growled at the leader, already wanting to attack.

Julian placed his hand in front of Jace to stop him, and he shook his head in disapproval of his actions. “I do not care what you think of me, and I cannot make up for what has been done in the past. What matters now is what we are doing here.

His brow rose. “And that is?”
