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

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.”

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.
