Chapter 121


    Julian’s POV


    “So, you think the truth court is the best ce to keep Luna Fiona in?” Marion asked as he fell in line


    with Julian, who exited the court building,


    “It is the purest sanctuary in our world; there is no better ce.” He answered.


    “I know that, but as much as it can keep the dark masters out, can it protect others from going in?” he


    asked.

    Julian slowed his pace and turned to Marion with a raised brow. “What do you mean?”


    “What is to stop those under the influence of Doom from going in and bringing her out?” he expanded


    on his question.


    “We cannot go to such extremes; we have so much to worry about today. We need fortification; we


    need preparation and readiness. There are guards outside the court and within; those should be


    enough to keep her safe.” He answered and began walking


    away.


    He couldn’t think about negativity. If he gave himself to such, then he would never face thising war


    with all he had.


    Keh hadn’t reached out since he set out to track June and Jashin. The elders linked his blood to


    his sons and tell Keh where to go. There was still no news about their search so far. He held on to


    hope.


    He looked forward to Keh’s presence in this battle, but it seemed that wouldn’t happen. If only


    Fiona wasn’t so hell bent on throwing herself into this reckless mission, they would have been able to


    figure out a way together.


    He needed her; he needed her wisdom more than ever, but she was not the most stable right now, and


    that left him alone to do this.


    As long as she was safe and far from this, he had nothing to worry about. He would keep up this war,


    knowing Doom would nevery his hands on her.


    “Show me to the garrison.” He said this to Beta Isaac and Hanna as he arrived at the training ground.


    Isaac nodded and led his way through the many men and women ready for theing battle.


    The numbers were impressive, but this wasn’t what Julian needed. They didn’t need numbers; they


    needed hearts more than anything. And that was why he was here. He


    |||


    didn’t want to give Doom any loophole to go through this night, and to ensure that, he had to do this.


    “Many of you already know what or who we are up against. This night, Doom will step foot in our world,


    and he wants one thing and one thing alone: Luna Fiona, the silver wolf. He needs her heart if he


    hopes to rule over the two worlds, humans and werewolves.”


    There was a mumble amongst those standing around, and Julian expected it. “The Luna queen is safe


    and kept in a ce where Doom will not spot her, and so the battle will be between you and him. Our


    numbers are great, but we have all witnessed what power Doom wields and how he can manipte.


    He is the master of evil, and so he knows how to wield evil to his advantage. That is why I want every


    one of you to look inward now. Is there pride, anger, jealousy, fear, or any emotion that isn’t pure or


    goodness within you? If yes, then I will need you to step forward.” He said.


    There was silence and no movement for the first few moments that passed, and then, one after the


    other, they began to step out. This continued for over five minutes, so those left standing without any of


    these emotions were not even up to a hundred and fifty. A few alphas also stepped out after realising


    they fell short of the requirements. This realisation made Julian sceptical about the battle before them,


    but it was still better than walking into a battle with men that Doom would manipte into carrying out


    his desires. Thest thing they needed was to turn on each other during the battle.


    “Thank you all for being honest about your feelings and stepping out. You might not believe it, but you


    are helping us greatly. You have my deepest gratitude.” Julianmended.


    “You will return home, and you will live simple and peaceful lives there. Your duties will be to protect


    yourmunity and people. This is amand from your king.”


    They all bowed their heads in reverence as he finished speaking.


    As they counted down the hours, Marion led the ones who had stepped out away from the Rayfield


    estate to find their way home.


    The full moon was already up in the sky, almost reaching its apex at this point, and it was the


    countdown until Doom’s arrival.


    Julian felt the surge of energy through his veins, and the full moon effect was already telling on him.


    Standing out on the field under the, full moon with the remaining hundred and forty-five with them, they


    prepared for what wasing.


    “It is almost time, my king.” Marion said,ing over to where Julian stood.


    He nodded. “It is; fear wants to creep in, but I have to keep it out.”


    III


    “I may not get another chance to do this, so before this battle starts, I want you to know it has been an


    honour serving under your leadership as Lycan king.” Marion said and bowed his head to him in


    respect.


    Julian didn’t think he deserved any respect after everything, after the many mistakes, but he didn’t stop


    his friend. “It is an honour to have had you beside me, Marion Rivers.”


    Julian’s phone rang, and he pulled it out of his pocket. Looking at it, he saw the caller ID was Keh.


    “Any luck?” were the first words that came out of his mouth.


    “No, my king, I did not find them at the location where the blood link pointed. Elena isn’t here as well,


    and neither are Doom and Mischief or his minions. It’s as empty as the Dark world itself.” He answered,


    and Julian drew a shaky breath. “They were here, though; their scent is all over this station, so it’s safe


    to say they are still alive.”


    Julian immediately felt a dark presence draw near, and he knew what it meant. “They areing.” He


    said.


    “What do I do, my king?” Keh’s voice came through the phone.


    “Return home.” He said that and ended the call.


    “Ready yourselves! They are alreadying.” Julian sounded the rm, and everyone on the field


    took a stand behind him.


    Julian’s attention shifted when he picked up the scent of Fiona. His head turned around in confusion,


    trying to trace the scent, and there he saw Fiona running over to them.


    He stepped away from those already awaiting the Dark Masters’ arrival and towards Fiona, who ran


    towards him.


    “Fiona, what are you doing?” He said, getting in her


    way.


    “I am here to put an end to all of this. That’s what I have wanted to do from the very beginning.” She


    answered. “I alone can stop this, but you wouldn’t let me.”


    “We still cannot find June and Jashin, and you shouldn’t have left the court of truth. That’s the only


    ce you can truly be safe.” He said, before asking, “How did you get out?”


    Fiona opened her mouth to speak but didn’t get to because darkness overshadowed every one of them


    on the field so that they could not see anything in the field for a mile


    away.


    Arguing and disagreeing with each other was thest thing they needed. They needed to be together


    and of one mind now more than ever.

    Julian shifted, took hold of her hand, and, relying heavily on his sense of smell, led her over to where


    the rest of the people stood on the field.


    “Do not panic, because this is what he wants. For us all to be afraid.” Julian sounded the


    encouragement to those on the field.


    Uncertainty reigned over him, as he had never faced an enemy this powerful before, yet he stood


    bravely.


    “You give me too much credit than I deserve. Julian McQueen. Your fear has nothing to do with me. It is


    a mere response to the inevitable fate, which is my victory over the world of humans and werewolves.”


    Doom’s deep, authoritative voice came charging through the darkness, and immediately the darkness


    ceased.


    Julian looked ahead and saw him standing there-a big red wolf with eyes as red as crimson and ws


    as long as knives. Doom was bigger, much bigger than Julian, and that sent a fearful chill through him.


    This was the first time he had felt it in a while. Behind him were six other Lycans, including a grey


    Lycan. None of the six was as big as Doom was, but they all looked dangerous. They were also Lycans


    on Doom’s side whom Julian recognise. These were the ones still under Doom’s control and every one


    on Doom’s side all had glowing eyes. Elena and Mischief were absent, and that meant they were with


    the boys.


    “Dion?!” Fiona called out in a small voice from beside him.


    “You know him?” Julian asked and turned to her in confusion.


    “I met him in the world of the living,” she answered.


    “Dion is one name I go by along with a thousand others, Hun. It is nice to know you still remember me.”


    He said, and a sly smile appeared on his face. “I will not want to waste any time here; we havee a


    long way, and I hate bloodshed as much as you do, so I will make this simple. Come with me, Fiona.”


    He said that and stretched his hand out to


    her.


    Julian stepped before Fiona protectively. “You want her? You’ll have to go through me.” He growled.


    Dion’s shoulder slumped in defeat. “I tried the easy way, but have it your way.” He turned his head to


    those he came with and said, “Bring her to me.”


    At hismand, the minions and others that came with him ran out at them.
