Chapter 27
Julian’s POV
He should have noticed something would go wrong with her shift. He had been the reason she came
out to shift. He told her it was essential, and he should have carried her with his team
When Vivian suggested taking her with her team, he noticed the uneasiness within her. He brushed it
off and told himself it was because she was new to all of this, so he let them carry on.
As the shift ended, he and his team returned to the field for numbering. Doing that was essential in
order to know if anyone had wandered into another territory and gotten caught in it during the shift.
Vivian then informed him how Sky had wandered from the team, and they couldn’t find her after
searching for a few hours.
He panicked. She was the last person he expected to wander off.
He needed to find her.
He knew his stand on crossing territories, but this was different for so many reasons. This was her first
time shifting in a long time, and she was also new to their world. Last, she was the healer of the plague.
The punishment for crossing territories on a full moon varies, and some territories pay death to such
Lycans. He couldn’t let them harm her their world still needed her, and even if they didn’t need her, he
couldn’t leave her there
He asked where they last saw her, and Vivian told her it was around the territory of the retaliation pack.

estate. They shared a border, and it was so obvious no one could miss it, but Sky had, and now he had
to save her.
He arrived just in time to save her from the claws of death, and he was grateful Alpha Lukas hadn’t
given into his rage and killed her.
Julian had always been one to respect the law and encourage others to follow it. He despised anyone
who broke the law and always told them to bear the punishment. But this law, he had to break in order
to save the lives of thousands.
They didn’t know who she was, and when they did, their anger subsided. Sky’s work at the settlement
wasn’t limited only to the Lycan king’s estate; it involved everyone from all parts of their world; she was
their saviour.
They didn’t race it back; he figured that after what she had been through, she wouldn’t have the
strength for a race, so they walked. They would walk for the one and a half hours it took to get to the
estate.
Her silence was loud as they made their way back home, and he wanted to know what she thought. He
wanted to know what went on in her head. The silence was also something he didn’t like but had to
endure.
He wanted to know what happened and how she found herself in the retaliation territories. Vivian had
told him she wandered away from them, but something in him didn’t believe it. Sky didn’t seem like one
who would wander around, and he was certain her wolf wasn’t either.
After over an hour of walking, he could now see the pack estate field, and that made him ask “How did
you get there?” He needed clarity on this. “Vivian said you had wandered off, and they couldn’t find
you.” He added.
She didn’t answer him, and he glanced at her to find her head down and her tail fallen. He knew what
that meant; it was a state of defeat and shame. He had experienced that at some point in the past, and
he didn’t want to add to it.
They arrived at the pack estate’s field, and he saw a few of those he had left to go had Sky still waiting
for him. Vivian was one of them, and Nina was as well. Then he remembered that he didn’t even ask
for Nina’s permission before he dashed off to go save Sky. Yes, his actions were accountable to no
one, but she wasn’t no one. She was his partner in all this. Nina didn’t look offended, though, and he
knew he would give her an apology as soon as they were alone.
Sky shifted into human form, and her maid, Bella, wrapped her up in woollen cloth. Nina also held out a
coat for him, and he shifted back to his human form, giving her a grateful smile.
His attention moved when he heard Vivian’s voice. “I’m so glad you are safe,” she said, walking
towards Sky, but she shunned
her and walked away from the field, not looking at anyone before leaving
“The other territories will hear about this, and they will not be very happy that you have broken the law
and your words to them” Nina said as they stepped into the room, and he shut the door.
He sighed and rubbed his hand over his chin. “I know, I did not expect the one who would be caught
crossing territories to be Sky.”
“Did she say why she did, though?”
He shook his head. “She hasn’t said a word since I rescued her. He told her, “I feel guilty; I shouldn’t
have paired her with Vivian and her team.”
“You think there is more to Vivian and her clueless act?” Nina asked.
He didn’t know what to make of Vivian and her team. She claimed Sky had wandered away from their
team, but the possibility of that was very slim, especially since Sky was weaker and slower compared
to them. Ted was the commander of security, Rufus was in charge of defence, and Susan and Caroline
were both skilled hunters. The only advantage Sky had was being a healer. There was no way she
would have gotten away from them, and so he couldn’t trust what she told her.
Also, with her scent, he found her with ease.
He stepped towards her and said, “I will need to find out, and before that, I want to say I am sorry for
leaving the way I did without getting your consent. Yes, saving the healer was important for our world,
but we are a team, and your consent is important.” He wrapped his arms around her.
“Do not worry; I wouldn’t have stopped you.”
“I know, but I promise, I will never do that again.” He vowed, and softly k*ssed her l*ps.
They pulled away, and Nina turned towards the door. “You got to see her in her wolf form; do you think
she’s the one?”
He didn’t get the chance to properly analyse her fur. She had been through enough trauma, and he
didn’t want to add to it, so he didn’t. From what he got a glimpse of, he knew he stood a good chance
with her
“I think she is. He answered in a confident tone
