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 could compare 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 the last 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 plan and timing, but I didn’t and made a few bad decisions.” He answered, “But this is different.”
