Chapter 111
The full moon ritual was a success, and Julian ended up gaining more than they expected. It was as if
he never lost his strength to begin with. It was something that made her happy despite everything that
came with it, including the loss of strength. He was now the Lycan king, with the strength and power
that came with it.
Since the attack during the full moon, Julian has assigned guards to watch over her and be with her
everywhere she goes. With her strength gone, she couldn’t go along with him to subject the other
alphas under his control and didn’t need to. He had the strength to take on as many as necessary and
prove himself not just in name but in action.
She was yet to regain any strength she had lost, not in hearing, sight, or speed. It didn’t bother her; she
still had her healing abilities and was still the silver wolf.
Ona had ignored her since the last full moon, and she knew her wolf was not happy with the turnout of
things.
Staying home gave her time with her boys. She missed them, and having time with them now felt like a
blessing to her.
They had so much to feed her. They still went to school, even though Julian wanted them back home.
She told him there would be no harm coming to them and reminded him how Vivian had taken them
from home three years ago. With that, he agreed to keep them in school.
“Matt says we are all going to die.” Jashin said as they walked through the garden at the back of their
mansion.
Fiona paused, taken aback by his blunt words. “Why would Matt say such?” she asked with a furrowed
brow.
“He heard his parents say it while he was playing in the living room.” Jashin explained further, and it
didn’t help Fiona feel better about such a topic being discussed around children.
“Mommy, are we all going to die?” June asked in a small voice.
She shook her head and opened her mouth to speak, but realised she would be lying to them about a
lot of things or willfully ignoring the truth.
“Are we in trouble?” June asked after seeing her remain silent.
She stooped, so she came to be almost the same height as her sons. “Trouble times will exist, always,
but we will find a way out of them. We always do.” She assured them.

“So, we are not going to die.” Jashin said it in confidence.
“I’ll never let any harm come to you. I promise you that.”
“How did it go?” Fiona asked as Julian stepped into the room.

His eyes warmed
up as soon as he saw her, and he made his way over to her. “Hello.” He kissed her forehead and said,
“It was great. How did your day at the citadel go?”
“Fine, Hanna has been of much assistance to me. I came home early with the boys.” She said.
He nodded and stepped away from her to take off his clothes.
“Do we stand a chance in the coming war?” She asked in a small tone, but he heard her and turned to
her.
“Fiona.”
“No, I am not planning on taking my life; do not worry.” She assured him, then asked again. “I ask
because losing one’s powers gives a whole different perspective. And now, without mine,” she didn’t
get to finish because he did it for her.
“You are afraid.”
She nodded. “Rumours are flying, and these rumours say we are all going to die. I do not want to
believe it; we have survived a lot of things over the years, but we have never faced anything faced
anything like this. I can’t help being afraid.”
“I want to hold you, but I am filthy and sweaty.” He pointed out as he stepped towards her.
Fiona hurried into his arms, ignoring what he just said. She needed this comfort more than anything.
He held onto her, “We never faced anything like the plague before it came, and we survived it. Trust
me, it is okay to be afraid. Every day I step out, I hold this assurance that we will see this through. We
will win, and our daughter will be born in a free and good world.” He assured her.
She held on to him because she wanted to believe his words. Every fibre of her being wanted to
believe him. “Remember what the goddess told the luna queen Ainsworth over four hundred years
ago? There is nothing the moon goddess created without a way out. The moon goddess created
Doom, and so there is a way out of this.”
She glanced up at him, and she met his eyes filled with hope and confidence. He meant every word he
said, and she believed in his account.

They moved in to shower, and she let him wash her. She did the same for him, and she asked him how
his day went. He had successfully subjected two alphas under his authority, and even though these two
didn’t know what Doom’s plan was, they only knew what their duties were. They had three more alphas
to subject, and once that was over, they would return focus to preparation for the coming war.
Fiona had already sent word to Bayland to inquire about the information sourcing of Alpha Lupe, and Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
she was still yet to receive a report from him. The information was on Doom and everything they
needed to know about him. This information would help them assess their strengths and tactics in the
coming war.
“And your strength, is there any change?” Julian asked as they stepped into the living room to get
ready for bed.
“I do not think so; I can’t lift anything heavier than fifteen kilogrammes, and I can’t run for two minutes
without feeling like I’m about to pass out.” She revealed, pulling out her red nightgown and putting it on.
Julian chuckled, and she glared at him. “Oh, I see it is funny now.”
He still laughed even though he shook his head, and this made her frown. “It is not. Believe me, it is
not, but you are adorable, Fiona, and that warms my heart.”
She rolled her eyes and said, “Bulls hit.”
She sat before the dressing mirror to put her hair in a neat bun.
“It’s not bull s hit; it’s the truth. Remember last week you could not lift more than ten kilogrammes, and
now you are able to lift that? As for your other abilities,…” he stayed silent before calling out. “Catch!”
Her hand shut out, and she caught the needle he just threw at her, making her let go of her hair.
“Your reflexes are kicking in,” he said, and his voice told her he was impressed with her
quick move.
She glared at him. “And if I wasn’t fast enough?” She demanded with a furrowed brow. “You would
pierce me with it?”
He shook his head, terrified at her accusation. “No, I knew it wouldn’t hurt you.”
“No, you at him.
shouldn’t have done it, but I am glad you did.” She said that and threw the dart
He didn’t anticipate the action, and yet he moved out of the way when it was close enough, and it
pierced the wall behind him.
“Now we are even.” He said that and pulled the dart out. “I am happy to say, your speed

is so much better.”
“Yours too.” Came her sassy response.
He came up to stand behind her, and he placed his hands on her shoulder to gently massage her
there. “I don’t know if I have said this before, but thank you. For taking the risk and believing in me. You
don’t know how much that means to me.”
She knew, but she loved hearing him tell it to her.
“You are welcome, Julian, and if I could go back, I wouldn’t do anything differently.”
