The Rebel
Chapter 37

Vera’s point of view.

I am dizzy.

I threw everything away and leaned firmly on the sink.

But what I saw in the white sink gave me anxiety.

I couldn’t figure out if it was real.

The black substance… It was there in the sink, contrasting with the white.

“Vera!” Are you doing well ? »

I heard Logan and turned on the faucet. I let it drain before Logan entered.

Not caring that it was the girls’ bathroom, he walked over to me and held my shoulders.

His worried eyes roamed my face.

” What happened ? »

I didn’t dare look at him. Cleaning the corners of my mouth with the napkin, I shook my head no.

” Nothing. Just the overeating and the fact that we’re spinning like that… It made my head spin a little. »

Placing my sticky wet hair away from my forehead, he nodded.

” I’m sorry. If I had known, I would never have…”

“It doesn’t matter. It’s not your fault. I

said turning around to look at myself in the mirror. I splashed my face with water, not caring if the makeup would be ruined.

When I saw it, I gently gathered my hair and placed it behind my back, to prevent the bangs from coming in front and getting wet.

I didn’t stop him.

His eyes met mine in the mirror and I continued to wash.

“Ummm, I’m fine now Logan.” You can leave me alone. »

He nodded.

He stepped back and put his hands back in his pockets.

“I…I’ll wait for you outside.” »

That’s all he said before leaving me. He closed the door behind him.

I breathed heavily, letting out the breath I was holding.

The dizziness was still there and I stared at my reflection in the mirror, a little blurry.

I gargled with water, held the tap.

Suddenly, a voice made me freeze. “Greetings, Vera. You have really grown up, you have become a beautiful woman. »

I sat up to see the person standing behind me in the mirror.

“No… It’s not possible… I must be hallucinating. »

“Well… Benjamin? »

And he smiled, moving closer to me to brush my hair away from my shoulder and whisper. “Did you miss me, my love?” »

Before I could turn around and attack him, I was pushed onto the wall roughly, I felt a sharp pain in my skull and black spots in my vision.

I was about to scream, when he placed his palms over my mouth and silenced me.

I was too numb to do anything.

His smiling face, the only thing visible in my vision.

I struggled, but it was no use. I was getting weaker day by day, my vision was deteriorating.

“What happened, princess?” We’re not so feisty anymore, are we? »

Anger burned inside me like molten lava, but my body… It felt weak and vulnerable.

His nose touched my temple and he whispered close to my ear. “I lived with this poison every day for 5 years, Vera… And you know how I get revenge? »

He showed a mischievous smile. His breath on my earlobe made me wince.

“By torturing these innocent girls who remind me of you. Using them until they are soft under me and then I get tired of them.

In the end, I kill them mercilessly. »

The vision of the dead girl appeared to me and I felt hatred for him, as I had never felt for a man before.

” He is ill.

Did he do all this, all these murders to get revenge on me?

The will to live grows stronger with every word he speaks. »

I have the determination to kill him in the most merciless way the Rebel has ever killed anyone.

He saw the challenge in my eyes and chuckled.

“Still so provocative? »

Grabbing my neck, he began to apply pressure, but I refused to lower my gaze.

” Oh dear ! When will you calm down, my princess? When will you learn that women and men can never be equal? »

I felt my lungs protest, but my eyes didn’t lower.

“You will have to submit to a man. And it better be me, because your f*****g mate will be dead soon, Vera. I will be the next Werewolf King and you…”

Kissing my head with his dirty lips, he said the last word. “My favorite slave. »

With what little strength I had left, I pushed him away.

He smiled, raised his hands in the air and walked away from me.

I clung to the wall for support. My head began to throb and my lungs began to protest.

“Y…You…You…Bastard…”

I managed to choke out and he just smiled. He turned his back on me.

“Until next time, princess.” Enjoy your last days with your partner. »

And with that, he flew out the window, as I struggled to catch my breath.

I couldn’t believe it.

Alex was right.

The dagger didn’t kill him. Instead, it made it like this…

I held my head in my hands, trying to accept reality.

He was alive and he was behind it all.

“All these murders… All these women suffering just because he wanted revenge on me?

No…I can’t let this happen. I can’t let him win. No matter what happens, I must live.

No matter the cost, I will bring back my wolf. I will try everything possible to strengthen this bond between Logan and me. And when it will happen.

Benjamin, you will see Rebelle’s true anger.

And that’s a promise. »
