Chapter 132


    Fiona would have brushed it off if she had thought of it yesterday, but now that she saw it, she knew.


    He loved her, and that was why, despite what he wanted to do to her, he wouldn’t let Mischief harm her.


    This was why Mischief hated her and wanted her dead.


    She witnessed the truth: he loved her, an emotion he didn’t have with Mischief.


    She told herself that he killed Mischief for his own gain, but there was no gain in it; he killed Mischief


    because he loved her.


    “I don’t love you.” He denied the truth in his eyes.


    A small smile crossed her face. “You do not have to deny it; I die here, remember? I know it wasn’t a


    part of your n when all this started, but you can ept the truth about yourself and who you love.”


    She told him.

    “Fiona-”


    “I will give you my heart, but I want you to swear you will not harm Julian or my sons. Swear you


    will not deal cruelly with my world. We are just casualties, fighting to survive in this, too.”


    “I swear.” He answered, and he meant it.


    “Thank you,” she said, nodding and walking towards the altar.


    She came there and helped herself onto it. Sheid on her back, and her eyes fluttered as she awaited


    him to do what he had brought her here to do.


    He stepped over to her and moved to work, and he drew over her exposed skin with a cold and sticky


    substance. She didn’t open her eyes to see him do what he did; she knew if she did, she would no


    longer be brave.


    Her mind wandered to Julian. He would probably never know why she went with Doom; he would never


    know she did it for him and everything she loved. She thought about June and Jashin, her little


    warriors. She won’t see them be good men and find suitable mates. Her mind wandered to


    Cam and Peter, remembering her promise to be there for their future children. Last, she thought


    about her world and everyone she had gotten to know and met. Marion, Keh, Alpha Lupe, Beta


    Hanna, Beta Isaac, and Alpha Lukas, to name a few.


    She would remain brave. So that when Julianes to meet her in the life beyond many, many


    decades from now, she will speak of today. She would tell him how she did not fear death while she


    stared him in the face. She would tell him this while weing him. They will be together and never be


    apart.

    Doom drew his hand away from her, and she felt a cold grip on her skin. Ease came to all her aching


    bones, and with this ease came the strength she hadn’t felt in a while. Perhaps this was a part of the


    ritual of harvest.


    “You are right,” he began, and going against her better judgment, hershes fluttered to see him seated


    beside her on the altar.


    “Right, about what?”


    “I love you.” He answered, then added, “And I never wanted any of this. Telling myself I did


    gave me purpose and the will to continue. I love her despite everything, and all this is to get her


    attention. Theck of it has been the worst punishment she could have given.”


    He turned to her, “I needed your heart; I needed it because it’s the only way I can exist without longing


    for what I once had with her, but I don’t want it anymore.”


    Fiona’s heart swelled at thest line; it felt almost like a dream. He didn’t want to kill her; he changed


    his mind.


    “I came into the world of the living with one goal: to get the heart of the silver wolf and subdue the two


    worlds with Mischief by my side. Then I met you, and a lot of things changed. I love you, and I do not


    want to harm you.”


    “Then what did you do to me?” She asked, because his hands were all over her body. And the white ink


    was still on her.


    “I healed you


    and restored your abilities,” he replied without hesitation. “You now have the power you gave up for


    your mate.”


    She pulled herself to sit down instantly, as confusion held her tightly. “Why?”


    He nced at her and smiled. He smiled though and that was the second most perfect sight, first being


    Julian.


    He looked away. “Because I want to believe that I am notpletely evil.”


    She exhaled in relief, but she still couldn’t believe it.


    “What are you going to do now, then?” She asked.


    “I do not want to return to the dark world, and even if I want to, I can’t. The gates are forever closed,


    and no one can go in or out. Closing its gates was a part of my n, but now I don’t know where I


    belong.” he chuckled adding, “Cillian is just like me, trapped in the warehouse, wondering where he is.


    Perhaps we were never meant to fit in.”


    “I don’t believe that.” She rejected hisst words.

    He nced at her with glowing eyes, but said nothing.


    “What will you do from here on?” she asked after a moment of silence went by.


    “I haven’t thought that far yet.”

    “Whatever you n, I will support you.” She said that and ced her hand on his.


    He nced up at her, and their gazes locked. They both remained silent, and though she wanted to


    speak, she couldn’t. With no words uttered, he leaned in and slowly took her lips between his for a


    tender kiss.


    He pulled back secondster, and she was yet to recover from the shock of being kissed by Doom, the


    master of the Dark world.


    “We should return.” He said and rose to his feet.


    She rose along and took his hand when he stretched it to her. He held her tightly, and they descended.


    Doom released his grip around her waist as their feet touched the ground, and Fiona took to her heels,


    racing into the warehouse. She ran into the room where she had left everything. There she found Julian


    and the rest of his men still alive-Keh, Marion, and Elena; Hanna; and Cooper and Cruz in their


    human form. Most sat with their heads bowed, while others stilly on the floor, minding their afflictions.


    Julian was in the left corner of the room, leaning against the wall with both hands. He had a defeated


    pose, and it stung her heart a little.


    He turned around swiftly secondster, picking up her scent, and his eyesnded on hers.


    “Fiona.”


    “Julian.”


    He swallowed shakily and asked, “How?”

    She didn’t let him finish before running to him and wrapping her arms and legs around him. Confusion


    still had him, but his arms wrapped around her, and he leaned in and kissed her temple.


    “You’re here.” He inhaled. “You are here.”


    “I am here.” She said, and he held her tighter,


    Staying this


    way


    with their hearts and minds synchronised, her healing aura charged through her, and she felt warmth all


    over her body pressed against him.

    “I thought I lost you for good. I thought I’d never see you again. I was so afraid,” he confessed, and his


    eyes stung with tears.


    Her hands stayed around him while she kissed his neck. “I’m never leaving again.”
