My gaze flicked up to the door that I had left partially open in my haste to meet Lea and make her happy.

But I knew nobody would come here since everybody was busy with restoration activities.

And now I found Julian standing in front of me. He was wearing a navy blue suit, bringing out the color of his eyes even more.

I froze for a second as I saw him leaning on the doorframe, giving a smile to Lea before his gaze landed on me.

I was standing outside the bathroom door, wrapped in nothing but a towel. Another towel was wrapped around my hair and droplets were still clinging to my skin.

Julian ran a lazy gaze over my body, starting from my feet and leisurely traveling up, stopping just a little above my thighs before slowly beginning their journey again.

His eyes flared a little when his gaze reached my chest and slowly, painfully slowly came up to rest on my face.

That look. There was a time I used to melt faster than a wax candle under his hot, piercing gaze. His deep blue eyes stayed fixated on me and I saw him stare at me as if he was seeing me for the first time.

I blinked. I had to make my body move and do something.

I was standing just in a towel in front of my ex–husband for Goddess’s sake.

“Alpha Julian?” Lea broke the awkward silence hanging between us like a taut wire and he miserably, grudgingly looked away.

“Yes, Miss Lea Gilbert?” He smiled back at her and I swore to Goddess that was the first time I saw how much Lea’s smile resembled his.

When not angry or sulking, he really looked charming.

Lea huffed, “It is bad manners to walk in somebody’s house, right mummy?” she turned to me and I put a hand on the towel that was about to slip down. from my body.

Another flare of his eyes greeted me and I looked down as embarrassment.

crept up my face.

“It is bad manners to look so beautiful in nothing but just a towel. Criminal I would say”

My eyes went wide and I simply ran towards the wardrobe and pulled the door open, shielding myself from his eyes.

A grin appeared on his face as he continued smiling.

“What are you doing here?” I asked the question I should have asked ten minutes ago. But somehow my body just froze and relished being looked at like that by him.

How stupid of me. He had forgotten all of our love and bonding for a fated mate who sprang up out of nowhere so he had no business flirting with me. “We received news of a fire emergency and my pack was the first to respond.”

I looked at him from head to toe, his polished shoes, elegant and crisp suit and the way he picked off a piece of burnt chip of wood off his coat and added,

“So my men are helping with the restoration while I came here to check on the alpha’s family and if everybody was safe.”

Julian added in a cheerful voice, devoid of all the anger and wrath I had seen on his face the last time.

“You came to help in a suit?” I blurted out, recalling the way I was covered in soot and dirt while I had tried to help until my body could not take it

anymore.

It was the hot shower that relaxed me and gave me enough strength to be happy and excited for Lea.

Julian raised an eyebrow at my question but straightened his back and walked in, much to my horror.

I blindly reached for something, anything to wear other than the stupid towel.

“No, I spent the last two hours clearing the debris and attending an emergency meeting with your alpha. Had you paid attention, you would have noticed I was right there.”

My mouth formed an O.

Julian had been in that meeting? I had not noticed ham beraver the wowven was full of people and I was too busy ring to get rid up by Sem my dad’s scolding

He noticed my expression and added. Yeah, the fire se hagh in the and was quite visible from my place. And I believe at de varias AHAMA chep of! night, not many people were awake Thought regering two books later

So he saw the fire at 5 am. He was always an early land and world w the crack of dawn or even sooner no matter how hard he served of wed

“And I noticed the way you stalked off from the meening of came here to check if you were alright.”

I reached for a dress blindly and put it on before throwing the trees away and coming out of my hiding spot.

“You don’t have to check on me. You can leave.” I said accently bor his gaze had already flicked to Lea.

“It is my duty to check on the well–being of all the affected. Your father told me luckily there was no loss of life.”

I merely grunted and went to Lea to tie her shoelaces

“And I must commend you for your actions. That was a brave thing, no wate a little boy’s life when you could have just walked away and tas in the bunker.”

I stopped doing what I was doing for a second and looked at him. There was no sign of mockery or taunting on his face, just pure appreciation

“I just could not walk away” I blurted out and then wondered why I was explaining it to him of all people.

“I understand. You and your actions were a hot topic of debate in the meeting after you left. Your father was just worried uck about you but I know you like the back of my hand. You would not leave a helpless being in trouble even if you had no reason to jump in the fire yourself, Inerally and figuratively.”

I ignored the slight sensation of warmth flooding through my veins and

squashed it down before it would blossom.

Part of me had been dying to hear these words and wanted just someone to understand what it meant to be a Luna and a leader. I hated being dressed

up as a doll and sitting on a throne. I liked to get dirty.

“And I had always loved that about you. I still love that about you.”

Julian added and I looked at him again.

Love. That word used to sound nice, exquisite even, rolling off his tongue. But now, it only reminded me of pain and betrayal.

“Say that to your mate so that she won’t ask me how to appease you” I blurted out subconsciously and then bit my lip as his eyes went wide. Fuck. I hated the way I sounded so jealous, so affected even after all these years. I hated Julian.

Hated him from the depths of my heart. There
