Chapter 71
Two weeks later
“Luna Fiona!”
“Luna Fiona!”
“Luna Fiona!”
Fiona snapped out of her thoughts at the mention of her name, and she saw the eyes of every one of the physicians at the citadel on her. The citadel, which was the former settlement, finished its reconstruction a year and a half ago. It became the capital of medical research in the werewolf world, and Fiona and Marion supervised it.
Every two weeks, physicians all around the werewolf world meet to discuss their findings and any progress they have made in science.
Six months after the citadel began running, Julian and Fiona took a step to meet up with the head of the World Health Organisation, along with his elders in the werewolf world.
They propose a pact to share findings regarding the human world-if the humans promise to do the same. It was a fruitful step, and Julian handed over the werewolf world’s findings on cancer treatments and their permanent cure. That was a year ago, and since then, the two worlds have shared resources not only medically but financially. It was all in an attempt to create a better world.
Fiona supervised the citadel while Julian oversaw the High Tower, which was the financial caliphate in the entire werewolf world. The two never interfered with each other’s running unless there was reason to. Fiona, in Julian’s absence three weeks ago, kept a close eye on the Hightower, and he did the same for the Citadel whenever she visited the human world.
They did visit each other at their workplaces. She couldn’t count the number of times Julian had entered her office and backed her against her desk. Nor did she keep a record of the number of times she showed up at the High Tower unannounced and without
any pants on.
Those were the good times. There was no such thing anymore, and those memories felt
like ages ago.
“I am sorry. What did you say?” She asked, turning her attention to Marion, who had
called her.
“Are you okay?” he asked, and his eyes narrowed on her in concern.

She nodded her head and forced a smile on her face, “Oh, I am fine, Marion. You do not have to worry about me.” She lied, and it was something she never had to do before. She never did because she never had a reason to.
It was two weeks, and Julian had yet to tell her he loved her,
To anyone, that would be a light thing, but it wasn’t to her. It was something that meant the world to her.
A day had not gone by since they became official without him declaring his feelings for her. Even when he was away, he called and made sure he reminded her of those words, and so she got used to them.
He always made it his duty to tell her how much he loved her, in case she forgot.
She didn’t want to remind him that he had yet to tell her that he loved her.
That would make her look pathetic and maybe desperate, and she didn’t want to look that way.
He should know that, but it had been two weeks since his return, and he didn’t seem to remember.
That wasn’t the only different thing about him; he was no longer the way he used to be. Not with her, and not with her sons.
He barely had time for them, and when he did, he was barely there. The old Julian always made time, but since his return, he has become a different being.
Her senses didn’t pick up any changes. He felt the same, and whenever they were alone, he couldn’t take his hands off her, and she didn’t stop him, but these changes had gotten to her. They were not little to her.
She had asked him if all was right with him, but he had swept her away with his charming smile and told her all was fine. He made his excuse using work and the change in structure of the Hightower. She also had work, but she still prioritised him and her sons above all things, but she didn’t push him.
She carried on through the rest of the day, doing her best not to zone out again.
When the day ended, she came home, hoping to see the boys at home, but when she came home, she was told they were yet to return. It was a Wednesday, which meant it was Julian’s turn to pick them up. They were one hour later than their usual home time.
Did he forget?
Was that even possible?

Chapter 71
She couldn’t play the wait game with her sons still in school, so she called him. The Hightower was closer to Rayfield Academy, so he would pick them up and come home.
Thirty minutes later, Julian’s Jeep pulled up in front of their mansion. The boys came down along with Julian, and he held onto their hands, and they made their way inside.
Fiona stood upstairs watching this and noticing the errors in the scene he was seeing. She came out of the bedroom to meet them, and the boys ran over to her to hug her tightly.
“Mommy!”
“Mommy!”
“My babies.” She stooped and wrapped her arms around them for a tight hug before letting them go. “You two must be exhausted.”
June nodded. “Yes, mommy.”
“I am so hungry.” Jashin announced dramatically, and Fiona chuckled.
“Good thing Ophelia is making your favourite. Spaghetti and vegetables.”
The boys jumped around in excitement.
“Go freshen up and then come downstairs for your food, okay?”
She didn’t get to finish before the two boys took to their heels, running as fast as their little, weary legs could take them.
She laughed and then turned to Julian, who had been silent since he stepped into the
room.
