Chapter 60
This made her look down at her paws and feet, and indeed, her fur was silver. She glanced up at him
with confused eyes. “I don’t understand.”
The last time she transformed into her wolf, there was no single trace of silver on her fur; she had
become a complete white–furred wolf. Ona felt so ashamed that she couldn’t even stay in her wolf form
for more than a minute. It was a testament to the power she lost, and she mourned it once again. She
hadn’t considered shifting to regain strength since then, and when Julian asked her to shift with him,
she felt ashamed and would have said no if he hadn’t come to the settlement.)
Seeing him there confirmed he loved her regardless of her ability, and that gave her the confidence she
needed to say yes.
Seeing this now left her in an ocean of confusion.
He took her hand in his. “We were wrong; the incident didn’t take away your healing powers. It can only
take away what you have, not what you are. Fiona, Ona, you are a healer; it’s in your blood, and it will
never go away.”
His words registered in her mind, and she tried to accept them as the truth.
The next few hours into the shift, Ona did her best to accept this new truth and also enjoy the shift as
much as the rest did. It was a hard thing to do. She had a lot to unwrap and consider. She had begun
modelling herself to adjust to a life where she no longer had her healing powers; knowing they never
left and now were at their apex worried her.
“Take over the leadership,” Jules told Rock, who did so without asking a question.
Confusion dawned on Ona as soon as Jules took hold of her hand and led her away from the team.
“What are you doing?”
“Taking you away so you can shift with me.” He answered the obvious.
She wanted to ask more questions, but she pressed her l*ps together and maintained silence. He took
the lead, and she followed. He showed so much -strength and speed that it made her feel like a baby.
The difference between them
was massive, yet he considered her cute in all her attempts.
She won.
He had poked her nose, wanting her to chase him and promising to k*ss and make up for it if she
caught him. She knew her speed was no match for him, but a

chance to be k*ssed by him was one she couldn’t pass up. So she did. She chased him, and though he
slowed down a few times to let her catch up, he picked up the pace once she got close.
The end of the shift came before she knew it, and a part of her didn’t want it to end. She wanted to
remain like this with him forever. That was asking for too much, but that was what she wanted.
They shifted into their human forms and reached for clothes hanging around on the ropes in the field.
She noticed Julian’s eyes on her even as she tried to get dressed. She turned around, but he quickly
looked away and pretended not to be looking, which made her laugh and shake her head.
She wanted to tell him she was his and there was nothing to look away from, but more than that, she
wanted him to k*ss her.
Yes, she never caught him during the shift, but it didn’t matter; she knew he wanted to k*ss her. It was
all over him.
She dressed up in the big polo she saw and a pair of shorts and turned around to find Julian in a green,
furry sweater and black trousers. He tied his long black hair into a messy bun, and the sweater’s colour
complemented his green eyes. He looked so fine in her eyes.
This man knew how to make anything gorgeous.
“Why did you take me away from the rest of the pack?” She asked and raised a brow at him.
“You are barely with us, and I could feel it. I figured if I took you away and focused your mind on other
things, you would enjoy the rest of the shift, and 1 guess it worked.” He replied with a smile that she
found charming.
She nodded and confessed, “You were right; there was something on my mind, and your intervention
worked.”
If he hadn’t done what he did, she would have spent the rest of the shift thinking. about everything.
“Do you want to share what was on your mind?”
She went back to a few hours ago and what had taken her into that state to begin with.
The problem was that she didn’t know where to start. It would have been so much. easier if she was
marked by him; that way, she wouldn’t have to explain because he would just read her mind and know
what she was thinking.
“Everything I have discovered tonight would be a start. I thought I had lost it because I was no longer
silver. No, I saw I lost it, and now I’m seeing I didn’t. It’s still so much to process.” She rambled off.
“Take your time; it’s not going to go away from the look of it, and oh, how beautiful you look as silver.”
He gushed.
Her cheeks warmed, and under her feet, she grew sweaty. “Thank you,” she said, genuinely
appreciating his compliment. “As much as it makes me beautiful, it means I can heal you.” She beamed
at him and took his hand in hers.
She tried to concentrate and channel her powers so she could feel the warmth, the same one she felt
when the boy with the plague took her hand yesterday, but she felt nothing.
She tried again and again, and after the third time, she let go and looked up with confused eyes. “I do
not understand; I am a complete silver wolf now; I should be able to heal you.” She mumbled the last
part to herself, and she sounded so disappointed.
“It’s fine,” he told her with a smile, and she couldn’t believe he took that line with her. Nothing about not
still being able to heal him while being a healer was fine.
“No, it’s not.”
He took her face in his large hand, his smile not dimming. “It’s fine; look at me.”
She didn’t want to, but as soft as his voice was, it had a command to it that made her do as he said.
“It’s fine; it changes nothing, not who you are, how I feel about you, or how you feel about me.
He leaned in and took her l*ps between his for a soft k*ss. She k*ssed back immediately and wanted
him to make her his, not caring where they were.
They, however, pulled away from the k*ss when they heard footsteps approaching them. They turned to
face them, and they found Alpha Jax and his team, who Julian sent on the mission to find Vivian.
Julian’s expression changed into a diplomatic one, and it almost felt like a different
person.
He was indeed the Lycan king.
“So, you have any news?” He asked and raised a brow.
Alpha Jax nodded. “We have found Vivian, my king; she is now in the council
court’s dungeon.” He replied.
