Chapter 56

Fiona’s POV

Julian’s request that day showed Fiona he wanted to be a good parent to the boys, but from what she had witnessed so far, she knew he had it covered. It felt like magic watching him, but he was better than what she expected, and the boys looked happier with him–perhaps even more than they ever were with her.

She still wanted to be there for her sons, but they bonded so well with their father, it could be because they were boys. She knew she lost them the day she revealed the truth to Julian, but it was the right thing to do. It wasn’t what she wanted, but there was no changing it.

It was jealousy: she knew how it worked. She had never had to compete with anyone for her sons‘ affection, but now that their father was in the picture, she felt she had to. She had never been the best at competition, and this one was one she would never win. Julian was the Lycan king, and so he could easily provide the boys with whatever they needed. She couldn’t compete with that; it would only leave her exhausted and bitter in the end.

A part of her wanted to return to the human world, but that decision was beyond her control. She doubted he would give her the boys to return with, and she didn’t want to leave them here.

He took a step three days ago to bring them to live with him in his mansion, and the boys were excited.

Fiona didn’t want to accept that; taking them to his castle would make it harder to visit. She wanted to visit without worrying about seeing him, but there was no such

option.

They deserved this happiness, and she was happy for them as well.

Julian had taken her boys to live with him since then, and she hadn’t gone to see them. She knew there was no excuse, but she had fear and doubt every time she thought about going to them and ended up staying back.

She summoned enough courage and got dressed to visit the Lycan king’s castle and see her sons. She had stayed away for long enough, and she needed to see

them now.

She arrived at the castle, and she was allowed into the house. She didn’t know her way because the few times she had been here, someone was her guide, but here on her own, she didn’t know where to go.

She decided to make use of her senses to listen for the voices of the boys, but that was interrupted when she found Julian standing above the stairs, staring down at

her.

Her heart skipped at his sight, and she paused her l*ps to stay in control. He descended and made his way towards her in silence.
