Chapter 134
They all returned to the Lycan king’s estate and met more than a thousand people standing in the field,
waiting for their arrival. When the people saw them draw close, they all dropped to their knees.
Seeing them came as a shock to Julian, who had sent many back home before the first battle and then
again after their resurrection.
“You all shouldn’t be here,” he said after getting to where they were.
“We couldn’t be anywhere else, my king,” Alpha Lupe said, his knees still planted on the ground and
his head bowed. “This war was for every one of us, just as it was for you. We all came here in one
accord, with hope for your victory and return. We are glad to have you back, my king.” He answered.
Julian spoke to the people, sharing their victory and the death of Alpha Cruz at the hands of Mischief.
He told them the truth about everything.
Then he dismissed the people to their various communities and homes and summoned the movers to Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
take Cillian back to his world. The human, though welcome to stay in their midst, needed to get back to
his life in the human world.
“Thank you,” Cillian said as Fiona saw him over to where the movers stood waiting for him.
“What for?” She asked with furrowed brows.
“Everything. I can’t name it all.”
She smiled at him. “Then you are welcome. Take care of yourself, Cillian.”
“I will, Luna.” He bowed his head to her in respect.
The movers came up to meet with them, having sighted Fiona from afar. Cillian went with them, and
they stepped a bit away from Fiona to create the portal.
Cillian turned around to her one last time. “You will look for me when you come visiting someday,
right?”
“Yes, Cillian, I will look for you.”
A smile came on his face, and nodding, he went along with the movers. They opened the portal that
created faster passage to the human world, and the three stepped through it. A few seconds later, it
closed up.

Fiona stood watching them vanish from before her eyes, and she stayed for a while, appreciating life as
she knew in Surviving it all still felt like a dream, but it was a reality. Everything that had happened
would go down in history with their name on it
Her joy would be perfect if only her sons were here. Julian told her alpha Uryi had gone to bring them
home, and that meant they were alive, but she needed to see them to
believe.
Thinking I see, she heard Julian’s voice from behind, and she turned to look at him.
She couldn’t deny the truth; her mind was with her sons, and she didn’t know how long she had
wandered off in thought. They were alive, she felt it in her heart, but she longed to hold them now more
than ever.
“I am. Of June and Jashin.” She answered with a nod
He took her hand in his and squeezed for reassurance. “We will wait for them together.”
She smiled, and he leaned in and kissed her lips. She kissed him back, his arms wrapped around her
waist, and he deepened the kiss, tasting the soft sweetness of her lips. They pulled away and held onto
each other’s hands while waiting
It took a few hours more, but already intending to wait for their sons, none of them moved until they
sighted Alpha Uryi and the boys from afar.
Fiona was the first to take to her heels, racing over to them, and Julian followed behind. The boys saw
them and ran to meet up with them.
“Mommy, daddy!” Jashin calls out with his arms stretched out
“Daddy! Mommy!” June squealed in excitement and ran towards them.
Fiona reached out when she got close and took Jashin into her arms for a tight embrace, while Julian
picked June up into his big arms. They all came together for a family hug. Tears ran down Fiona’s face
as Julian held them all tightly.
She didn’t think she would get this chance, get to hold them, and get to be a family again. Here, she
was doing just that. The boys were unharmed and well. This was all she ever wanted.
Julian pressed his lips against her head while holding onto her with one hand. “It’s over now; everything
is alright now.” He mumbled to her and kissed her forehead.
They all came in, and Julian thanked Alpha Uryi for bringing back the boys as he promised before
releasing him to go home. The alpha bowed his head and took his

leave, and the families returned to their mansion.
Alpha Cruz’s rite of passage was the next day, and many, including the Lycan king and Luna queen,
were in attendance. The six others who went for the rescue also came with their families to pay their
last respects.
The families of the now-late alpha all bid him farewell before taking their leave from the pathway.
His oldest son, Al Cruz, who had experienced his premier shift and was set to become the new alpha,
thanked the Lycan King for everything he had done to save the werewolf world. He then vowed to live
up to the bravery his father showed in governing the community while he lived. Julian, impressed with
the young man’s dedication, told him he was welcome to visit anytime and seek counsel.
As the day ended, Kenneth asked permission to leave for the south, where he would get to mourn Lily
the best way he knew how. Julian granted him permission and told him to take as much time as he
needed. He assured him that Rayfield would be open to welcoming him whenever he decided to return.
Marion, who reunited with Elena at the warehouse, thanked the king for giving him the opportunity to
save his mate. He pledged to forever be in service to the McQueen bloodline.
From here on, they could only forge on, rebuild, and get stronger as one people sharing a common
goal. Julian knew nothing would be impossible, though, not as long as he had Fiona by his side.
