Chapter 105

The sound of a firm knock on the door woke Julian up from sleep. He almost thought it was his dream, but he also saw Fiona awake and adjusting. The knock came again, and it further confirmed it was real. He kissed Fiona on the forehead and then made his way over to the door to find out who would knock this early morning.

He opened the door just before Marion could knock again, and a scowl of displeasure settled on his face. “What? Why are you here so fucking early?” he demanded.

Marion opened his mouth to speak but snapped it shut and glanced at him from head down, then back up.

His eyes grew wide with apology. “Oh, I didn’t mean to interrupt, my king, but you need to come down; there is terrible news.” He told them and walked away from the door.

Julian turned to Fiona and saw her putting on her clothes without saying a word. Seeing her get ready gave him no room to be slow. He reached for his clothes on the floor and put them back on.

They arrived at the living area, and there they found Marion standing there with Alpha Jose of Bayland and Kenneth.

Alpha Jose had once been a physician at the settlement three years ago, but after his father died in Bayland, he had to return home and take over his role of being the new king. He still involved himself in the citadel’s affairs, but his prime responsibility was to Bayland now.

They all bowed when they saw them come in. Julian’s eyes lingered longer on Kenneth because, unlike the others, there was a bloodstain on his shirt and on his hands. Rage and sorrow also showed themselves in his eyes.

That didn’t look or feel good.

“What is going on?” Julian asked.

“There was an attack last night,” Marion began to say. “The elders of the council of truth are all dead.”

Julian didn’t want to, but having seen Kenneth before Marion began speaking, he immediately suspected he might have had

a hand in what happened. Yes, he broke the spell the Dark World’s masters placed on him to carry out their bidding, but maybe they got him back and he was now doing their bidding from the inside.

“It isn’t him, my king.” Marion jumped into Kenneth’s defence as if reading his mind.

His eyes moved to Marion. “How do you know that?”

“Because they killed Lily and forty-nine other alphas in their communities, including alpha Jax.” Marion answered.

Hearing Lily and Alpha Jax’s deaths, having seen both of them yesterday, felt wrong. He didn’t know how Kenneth was holding on through all this.

“I am sorry.” He said that, and Kenneth nodded, trying his best to keep his emotions under check.
