Chapter 120
Flashback…
“I do not want to go,” June whined as Fiona got him to wear his blue jeans. “I want to stay here; why
can’t I stay here?” he asked.
June hardly ever complained about anything; this was always Jashin’s go-to move, but seeing June
complain about not wanting to leave made Fiona second guess her decision to send them away.
Julian wasn’t completely on board, either. He suggested the court of truth as the best place to keep
them, along with the other children who might not leave Rayfield during the battle, but she couldn’t
have it. Doom would level the entire community if he so wished, and she couldn’t risk them being near
here when that happened.
“Because this place isn’t safe, June, but where you would be going will be. You will be taken care of
and protected, so you will have nothing to worry about.”
“But you and Daddy will not be there,” he said with a sad pout.
She reached out and stroked his face. “No, we will not be, but if all goes well, we will be there with you
too in no time. You two will take care of each other in the meantime.”
He nodded, but he didn’t look happy. He didn’t want to leave, and she should have just listened to him
instead of thinking her way was the best and only way.
“Jashin, you will take care of June, alright?” She said this and turned to Jashin, who stayed oddly quiet.
“Yes, mommy,” he nodded.
“I love you two so much; never forget that.”
Flashback ends
Fiona lay on the bed, crying her heart out and grieving her loss. She would never see Julian and
probably never see her sons again. What would be the point of surviving if she lost everything she ever
cared She had already lost enough. Her parents, Ophelia, her sons, and now Julian. What joy was in
her life from here on? about?
She never wanted rebellion; she just couldn’t sit back and lose everything. The pain will consume her.
She didn’t want Julian to sacrifice himself because his sacrifice would be in vain. Hers, however,
wouldn’t be; Doom needed her heart, and with it, she could
90%
bargain for her world, her sons, and Julian.
They would have continued without her; they would have had a chance, and now they no longer do.
She felt weak and hungry, but she didn’t know if Kali would bring her any food after the stunt she pulled
hours ago. She had to try, though.
“Kali?” she called, her voice weak, and her head was pounding in pain. “Can you hear
me?”
“Luna queen.” He responded to her call.
“I am sorry for what I did to you earlier. You were following the orders of the king, and I shouldn’t have
attacked you like I did.”
“It is fine. You were in a desperate spot. What can I do to help?”
“I am hungry. Genuinely this time.” She added the last part. “Can you get me something to eat?”
“What do you want to eat?” he asked almost immediately, without thinking.
“Anything good. I am not much of a chooser.”
“Alright, Luna Queen, I will go ask the kitchen what else they have.” He said that, and his footsteps
departed from the door.
She lay still in bed and didn’t even know how long it took before he returned.
“They had pork and the steak they reserved for the elders; I was able to bargain for steak because you
are the luna queen” He said and entered the room.
She chuckled and pulled herself up to sit down. “Thank you.”
He nodded, set the tray down, and turned to leave when she called to him.
“Do you
have children?”
“I have only one.” He answered.
“And your mate?”
He pressed his lips together, and pain flashed in his eyes. “She died when Alpha Greg of Montana was
killed. She was a casualty in the attack.”

Her heart went out to him. “I am sorry. Kali, that means your daughter is all

you have.”
“My sons are gone, and I can’t get them back.” She lamented bitterly, and her tears fell. “It is all my
fault. Now we are going into a war we have already lost.”
“Do not beat yourself up; you just have to believe and keep the faith that it will all be fine.”
“Thank you, Kali; you are really a nice man.”
“You are welcome, Luna Queen; you should eat now.” He said that and stepped out of the room.
She wiped her tears and made her way over to the table where Kali had set her food. She stayed there
and ate, and when she finished, she drank the water on the table, and her strength returned. Her eyes
spotted the time on the wall, and it was already evening.
The full moon was just hours away, and with it, the end of everything they knew.
She returned to bed, curled herself in a ball, and wept for the end.
She soon heard a small rumble at the door, and her eyes snapped open. Again, a small knock came on
the door moments later.
“Who is there?” She asked, a little startled. Kali would not knock; he would just call to her, so whoever
was there wasn’t Kali.
“It is I, Zac.” A different, hushed voice spoke from outside the door. “I came to bring you out.” He
answered.
She shook her head and pulled up to sit down. “I am not supposed to be out. The king insists I stay in
here for my own safety.”
The door opened, and Zac stepped into the room and towards her bedside. “The king doesn’t
understand who we are up against, my queen, Doom and Mischief will slau ghter every last one of us
without even batting an eye. We need you out there. You are the only one who can put an end to this
war.”
She shook her head. “I do not have the strength to take anyone on.” She answered.
“You are the silver wolf, my queen; it is in you.” He said that and moved towards her, taking off her giga,
and she felt her strength return in a massive fold.

He tossed the giga to the side of the room and stretched his hand out to her. She didn’t take it, but she
got out of bed, and together they came out of the room.
Fiona turned to the other side of the door, and she saw Kali on the ground, bleeding from his head with
a silver dagger thrust into his side.
“What did you do?” she yelled at Zac and immediately dropped to her knees.
“It was the only way to get you out, my queen. I did what I had to do.” He answered.
“He was only following his king’s commands!” She snarled at him.
She thought about her discussion with Kali earlier. He had a daughter at home who probably looked
forward to her father coming home. She had to make sure Kali returned home to her.
She placed her hands on Kali’s neck, and she saw he was still alive. She pulled out the silver dagger
Zac had thrust into his side. Then she placed her hands on him, and she healed him of his wounds.
Though he still remained unconscious, he would wake without a scratch, as if it were all a dream.
She rose to her feet with the silver dagger still in her, and she turned to Zac and said, “Let’s get out of
here. The full moon is almost at its peak.”
Zac nodded and led the way while she slipped the dagger to her back and into her trousers.
Fiona ran through the council court, and the young guards soon caught up with her. “Luna queen, you
need to remain in your room; those are the orders!” The young guard began to speak, but Zac attacked
him and took him down.
“Run, my queen, run away; I will be behind you,” he told her, and she took to her heels, running as fast
as her legs could take her until she arrived outside the council court. She stared up at the dark cloud in
the sky, and she saw the full moon was almost at its apex. If only Ona would listen to her and lend her

Coldness gripped her skin as the night was as chill as ever, and she wrapped her arms around herself
and ran to meet up with Julian. From the information Julian gave her yesterday, they would await Doom
in the field, which they believed would give them some sort of advantage.
Though her breath failed her, she kept running. She wouldn’t stop running until she got to where she
needed to be. This war was about her, and she would not hide away.
