Chapter 77
The door opened, and Marion stepped into the Lycan king’s office with a stack of files in his hand.
He bowed his head as he greeted him, stepped forward, and dropped the files on his desk. With no other word uttered, he turned to take his leave when Julian spoke. “Is this how it is going to be? Greet and nothing else.”
He turned around to stare at Julian, who was seated across from him, finally beholding him for the first time in two weeks. “I do not understand.”
“You did this the last time you came; you brought the report over in the same manner. You greeted me, placed the documents down, and then took your leave.” He pointed it
out.
“I do not know what else you want me to say.” Marion stated flatly.
Julian signed and adjusted in his seat. “You are my friend, or at least you used to be. You could ask me how I’m doing. I know you’ve heard the news about Luna Fiona.”
“Okay, how are you doing?” he asked, forcing an interested look onto his face.
Julian groaned, frustrated. “This feels forced; forget it.”
“What exactly do you want, my king?”
“I want my friend, and I haven’t had him since Fiona left.”
“Whose fault is that?” Julian opened his mouth to speak, but snapped it shut and exhaled. “You may leave, Marion.” He said instead and pulled the files Marion submitted closer to have a look at them.
Marion didn’t leave like he told him to; he stayed and spoke. “You have done highly questionable things in the past, but none of them made me look at your character with disdain, because I knew that deep down there was goodness in you. But what you did to the Luna shouldn’t even be done to one’s enemy. She was your mate and also our Luna. She saved your life and that of the werewolf world all on her own. Even when it was to her detriment, she did what was necessary. She was the backbone of the settlement and later the citadel, and this is how you repay her?”
“You will thread carefully, Marion; I am still your Lycan king.” He told him through gritted teeth, slamming the files shut.
Marion glared at him. “Or what? You will exile me and take away my position like did to her? Go on then; if that is what your new mistress wants, then do it.”

Julian’s hand balled into a tight fist on the desk. “You should leave, Marion. I will not repeat myself.”
“I hope you have a good reason for everything you have done to our Luna and this world, my king.” He said, bowed his head, and took his leave.
Julian had watched as Fiona took her leave with the movers who took her out of the werewolf world two weeks ago.
He couldn’t forget the look on her face when he rejected her and exiled her. It haunted him every day.
It wasn’t what he wanted, but it was necessary for the survival of his world, which was his only way of protecting her. He was the Lycan king, and it was his job to save his people through every means necessary.
She had become a target, and she needed to leave. He knew it since the first day he saw the vision in Bayland; Isis had shown it to him. She told him to send her away for her protection, but he didn’t believe the dark world could get to her. That wasn’t even an option for him.
Just like Isis showed him, Fiona had taken herself to Bayland without his permission and returned with her report filled with errors. She accused him of things he knew nothing about.
Isis told him that by disobeying him, Fiona had exposed herself to Doom, the master of the dark world, who had his claws sunk deep in the community, hoping to create havoc. The pathway of the dark world had expanded, and with it came all the evil desires and cruel intent that plagued the communities closest to it, poisoning those that lived there. This brought a surge in rebellion, which Julian had to deal with.
Again, Isis told him the best way to protect her from Doom was to send her the werewolf world, where no one would reach her. He had gotten angry at Isis and told

her never to suggest that to him ever again.
Sending her away from the bedroom was already hard enough on him. Pretending that she wasn’t in the same room with her killed him, and not being able to come out with the truth to her, drowned him with every passing day. Yet, he knew what he saw. The complete and utter annihilation of the entire werewolf world by the Dark World, aided by Fiona.
If the dark world got to her, then he had failed.
Fiona’s attack on Isis told him she was now under the influence of Doom, and she wouldn’t be safe anywhere in their world. He could not keep her because the longer he

did, the more Doom would gain control of her mind and use it to his will.
Fiona wasn’t a violent person, and she had never had the cause to attack without a justifiable cause, yet she attacked Isis and would have killed her had he not stepped in.-
He could have told her the truth, but he knew she would not believe, and even if she did, she would argue they could find another way to avert it. There was no other way. This was the only way.
His decision was rash, but it was necessary. He saw the way his pack members stared at. him this past full moon in the absence of their Luna. Many of them had questions in their eyes when he introduced Isis to them as a member of his team. They wanted to know what was happening, but he couldn’t fully explain it to them yet.
Fiona might also hate him, but everything he had done so far, he had done for her and no one else. To save her and everything else he loved, he had to hurt her.
He couldn’t even tell June and Jashin what he had done to their mother. They would never look at him the same way again. Since her departure, they have asked him when she would return more than a hundred times, and every time, he couldn’t answer.
Until they could ascertain and put a stop to Doom and his manipulation of the Dark World territory, Fiona was better away from here.
Isis placed her hand on his shoulder, and he snapped out of his thoughts and turned to her from the window where he stood.
“I did not hear you come in,” he said, his senses calming when he realised who it was, but his eyes lingered on her hand with a lot of questions in them.
