Chapter 55

Julian’s POV

“It was to save my life and the lives of my sons. Your sons.” She said the last part, to

his surprise.

A part of him didn’t want to believe what she had told him, but there was nothing to gain for her. He needed more clarification on her words.

His eyes narrowed at her at her words and what they meant: “What do you mean, my sons?”

Her silence angered him. “What do you mean, ‘my sons?” He demanded, his tone growing rigid and cold.

Her eyes grew glassy, and he saw this might as well be her breaking point.

Still, she spoke, “You do not remember, and that is fine, but I remember a few details of that night. You were in Reign, and I woke up in a strange bed with no knowledge of how I got there, but I was n*ked and wrapped in your arms. You were also n*ked, and that only meant one thing; we had been together the previous night. I ran away before you could wake up because I was ashamed and wanted to put that event behind me, but I was wrong. I discovered a month later I

The memory was vague, but he remembered waking up one morning in Reign and finding himself alone in bed. He didn’t know what happened the night before. but he knew he was with someone, and she had left before he could wake up. He soon moved on from it because he came to strengthen the forces of Reign against the rebels‘ attack and couldn’t halt that mission to find the one he had spent the night with.

He didn’t know anything would come from that night, but it did. He had felt a bond with June and Jashin from the very first day he set his eyes on them, but he never thought more about it. They were his sons.

This was why she ran away from the werewolf world: she was pregnant.

He remembered interrupting the trial and finding her there, but he assumed that she had committed a grave offence to be there, and when she ran away from Ken it further confirmed it.

Vivian, who had bravely helped them fight off the rebels, told him the rebels came

for the criminal on trial, as she was one of them. He believed her; he had no reason not to. She told him that with his orders, she would rally around until Fiona was found, and he gave her his permission.

Ken didn’t like that he had given her the go–ahead, but he told his beta and friend that they needed as many allies as possible. Vivian had proven herself to be an ally, and that was what they needed now more than ever.

He should have done more investigation to find out the actual cause, that was on

him.

A tear rolled down Fiona’s face, snapping him out of his thoughts. “Say something.”

He ran his hand through his hair. He had gotten more truth than he came for, but he had to see it through to the end. “I need to see them.”

She nodded without any argument from her. She led the way, and he followed behind. The journey to the twins‘ mansion was done in silence. He didn’t know what to say, and she didn’t seem to have anything else to say.
