Fiona stayed in bed, unable to sleep. There was another woman in Julian’s life, and what she had seen today confirmed it. She had believed this was a phase that they would move out of as time went on, but today’s truth told her there was no going back. Or at least, Julian didn’t want to go back. He was moving on.
How was that possible? She was his mate.
She had repeated those four words for over a month now, and every time she said them, they held less weight.
She believed the mate bond was unbreakable. Even with everything that had happened so far, her bond with him still existed and was as strong as it always had been. If hers was strong, it meant he hadn’t broken his. So how could he have another when she was here? How could he feel anything for someone else?
Her eyes blurred up, knowing this was not the life she saw for herself two years ago. She thought everything would become better from then on, but the reverse has been the
case.
She missed him. She missed everything about him. His laugh, his frown, and his lazy face when he didn’t want to do anything. She also missed his
presence. The way he k*ssed her, held her, and touched her. She missed letting go in his hands, knowing he
would keep her safe.
Seeing him every day but not being able to have those things crushed her.
Knowing that these changes were because of another woman made her angry.
Why was she so special to him?
When did the affair start? What did his new woman give him that she didn’t? She sank low with each question.

He was across the hall, and she could go and ask him to tell her the truth. The old Julian would tell her everything in a heartbeat as soon as she asked, but this new Julian wasn’t her Julian. He would either lie or tell her she had no right to ask him questions. He had the utmost authority and would implement it if he saw fit. Such authority included sending her away from the mansion so she would be far away from her sons. She didn’t want to risk that. She needed to thread carefully.
She barely had enough sleep before the alarm went off and her eyes snapped open. Ona growled within her, and she knew her wolf wanted more time to sleep. The full moon was fast approaching, and so she felt Ona’s presence more than ever.
She couldn’t go back to sleep, though. She had to get her sons ready for school. This

used to be Ophelia’s job, but since she began staying with her sons two weeks ago, it has become her duty. She loved doing it, but today she felt so tired and needed to shut her
eyes.
Regardless of how tired she felt, she pulled herself up, took her shower, and moved to wake the boys up to have their bath. Having gone to bed early last night, the boys woke up without fuss. She bathes them and dresses them up for school.
As she wore June’s red tie to match his uniform, a knock came on the door, and her senses picked up the scent. It was Julian, and her heartbeat ski pped in her chest.
She knotted the tie, moved over to the door, and opened it to him. She took a deep breath at the sight of him.
“Good morning, Fiona,” Julian said casually.
“Good morning, Julian.” She replied.
This had become their way of talking to each other. It was also the only time they spoke to each other most days now.
How things changed. She thought.
“Good morning, Daddy!” the boys echoed in excitement.
Julian turned his attention to June and Jashin, and a smile came onto his face. “Oh, I see you are ready for school.”
The boys laughed and nodded, “Yes, daddy.”
“That’s good to hear. Ready to go?” He asked them, and they nodded.
He took their hands and was about to leave the room when June spoke. “Are you and mommy still fighting?”
His question took Julian by surprise, and Fiona covered her mouth, as she didn’t see it coming. “What made you think we were fighting?”
“She has been sleeping in our room for the last two weeks. That is strange, and you two no longer talk as much as you used to. You do not smile at each other, and you don’t k*ss her. She was also crying last night.”
Fiona’s eyes grew glassy at June’s questions, which were fueled by much observation. Julian’s gaze moved to Fiona, and she looked away from him.
