The Rebel
Chapter 54

They asked their protector, with disbelief in their eyes.

“Who are you really? »

And she replied with a little smile:

“A woman who believed in herself when the world lost its faith in humanity. »

… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … . .. …

The howls of the wolves were muffled by the blades and claws. The chaos being deafening and bloody.

The ground on which judgment was passed, has now turned into a battlefield.

With the b***d of good and evil flowing through it.

Everyone was busy fighting, the royal armies won, but it was short-lived.

More screams echoed through the forest and that’s when Benjamin gave his final order to attack.

More thugs entered, creating fear in everyone’s eyes.

This was not what they had planned.

There were many more of them.

Thousands of thugs came and attacked together.

This was going to be a fight to the death and they were ready for it. The second attack began.

The minutes passed.

Fatigue took over the royal army, their movements were slow as sweat and b***d flowed, but they couldn’t stop now.

Not until peace is restored.

King Arthur and Arnold fought together to protect each other, as did Rosie and Ben.

Alpha Kane and Alex teamed up to fight until their last breath.

Meanwhile, Logan and Vera held the beast back.

His strength being greater than theirs.

Vera looked around, seeing the situation spiraling out of control.

His father and Arnold seemed to be at their limits, with claws piercing through them.

Kane fought bravely despite being attacked by 3 wolves at once, Alex helped him with a bleeding chest.

Rosie tried to save Ben who was trapped under a wolf. 3 other wolves were approaching.

His right arm was badly injured, forcing him to fight with his left.

Vera took a deep breath, looking at the dagger and nodding at Logan.

Logan got it right.

He had to stop the beast until Vera got the situation under control.

And that’s when she let go.

Seeing 4 wolves attacking Ben together, she quickly jumped up to pounce on them. Spinning his knife with a flick of his wrist.

She shot them all.

With a cut on their neck… rebel style.

Ben looked at her in shock, unable to believe it, while Vera smiled at him.

Rosie had tears in her eyes when she saw Ben in good health.

” Are you doing well ? »

She asked and he could only look at her in disbelief. 2 seconds… She killed them in just 2 seconds!

Nodding, he swallowed and that’s when his eyes landed on the dagger in his hands.

She didn’t wait for his reaction.

Heading towards her next target, she saw two thugs attacking her father. Another was holding Arnold and the other was ready to scratch his father. In the blink of an eye, she took down the thieves. Hitting one and slashing the other, finally slashing the one who was on the ground.

Breathing hard, she looked up to see the two staring at her. The screams around her died away as the thugs lay dead.

Their b***d pooled near his feet.

Everyone stopped for a second…

Arnold and Arthur froze in shock, their eyes fixed on the bodies of the thugs around them.

All were dead with a single stab wound.

They looked up at Vera in disbelief.

Reaching out to her father, she looked at him.

And Arthur has never felt so proud before.

Holding her hand, he grabbed it to get up and clean the dirt on his clothes.

His eyes were full of tears.

Tears to have a daughter like her.

Proud to be his father.

“Zara… My daughter. »

He said and she closed her eyes. Her hands tightening on his hand made him understand that she had finally forgiven him.

She opened her eyes and saw the thugs attacking the girls behind her. A thug tackling a girl to the ground while trying to force her.

She then walked towards the girl.

What happened next was what a weak heart could bear.

She ripped him from her, her dagger cutting him into pieces. Her screams echoed through the forest.

Making everyone still.

Every soul trembled.

Some withdrew instantly, while others dared to resist it, remaining speechless.

His brown eyes… They only screamed one thing.

Death, daring anyone to touch it.

Everyone was too shocked to say or do anything. They just stared at the girl or rather their Queen.

One by one, within minutes, she turned the situation around.

Lining up the corpses of the thugs.

7 minutes have passed.

Eventually, she calmed down, trying to catch her breath.

Sweat dripping down his forehead with his eyes bloodshot.

Burning in the fire of vengeance and hatred.

The dagger was stuck in the ground, while she sat with one knee on the ground.

Surrounded by the dead and the ground covered with the b***d of the wicked.

A deadly silence fell, his harsh breathing the only thing audible.

The crowd, the Alphas, the elders were too shocked to move a single muscle.

Staring at their so-called heroine/savior in disbelief.

They’ve never seen a man fight like this before.

And it was a woman.

A strong, independent, fearless woman.

A kind of woman they had never seen.

Their Queen. The person they have searched for for centuries.

The person they wanted to mercilessly kill was saving them?

But was she really the Rebel, if so then who was the boy Alex who claimed to be.

Has the Rebel always been a woman?

Although they thought she was a man.

Standing next to their King, head held high.

She was truly a mystery.

The aura she exuded was no less than that of mortal beasts.

…

Looking into the beast’s eyes, she stood before them.

To protect them.

To make them feel ashamed of themselves.

Benjamin growled, shattering everyone’s thoughts.

He growled at the King, who was trying to get up while holding his injured leg.

He was ready to attack, approaching him, when they all shouted.

Its claws hit the ground, causing it to tremble as it approached him.

But before he could touch Logan, Vera intervened. She transformed right there, in mid-flight, into her magnificent wolf.

Dispelling all doubts about who the real Rebel was.

Cutting down Benjamin, with their bodies rolling and their claws slashing.

And that’s when one of the men present spoke up, almost in disbelief… His words made almost everyone gulp.

“She… She… …is… the Rebel! »

The Rebel’s wolf form was known and seen by few people and now that they had seen her transform, they believed that this woman was capable of rewriting history.

She was the Rebel.

With a new ray of hope in their eyes, they took a stand and attacked the thugs.

… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

The Vera’s point of view.

I attacked, sinking my canines into his fur, tearing a chunk of flesh from his neck.

He growled, but I didn’t stop.

…

The crimes…The disfigured bodies of those innocent girls he tortured…Their pleas…Their screams echoed in my mind and I went berserk.

I slashed him everywhere with the dagger, on his torso, his chest, his arms.

Everywhere.

I didn’t care about the drops of b***d falling on my face, I didn’t care about the cuts on my arms.

I just attacked, without thinking.

And he stared at me. Those eyes staring at me with indifference and coldness.

” What ? … He ? He is dead ? Why is he looking at me like that…”

And then, to my surprise, he chuckled a sardonic laugh that made my heart stop beating.

” How is it possible ? »

He chuckled louder, making his chest rise and my grip on the dagger tighten.

“How…How…?” I

wondered, a little scared when he looked at me and whispered.

His face, his eyes causing a storm of rage within me.

“You think you can kill me like those lousy gangs of tramps? You are dreaming, my love.

You can’t kill me. »

I was determined to act rather than speak, but his next words were not what I expected.

“I am immortal, Vera. No one can kill me. »

The Arena suddenly went silent as they stared at this evil man in disbelief.

My hands shook in unknown fear.

I shook my head, the fire of vengeance burning in my eyes.

Such a person who committed so many atrocities on women deserved the most painful death… He deserved to be burned in the blaze of hell! “He can’t be immortal… The moon goddess can’t be that unfair.”

Justice and karma cannot be like that. »

“No… No… You… You can’t be! »

I said and he chuckled, his laughter echoing through the forest, making every frightened soul tremble.

“Need proof, love? »

I froze looking at his wounds that I inflicted on him a few seconds earlier.

They suddenly healed as if they had never existed.

My throat was dry.

” No ! You must die, you bastard! You must die! »

I screamed, plunging the dagger into his chest with all my might, right where his heart was.

He froze for a second, the knife piercing his skin.

But he chuckled again.

“We can’t kill him like that.” »

My wolf said, and my hands shook as I looked at the place where I had just rooted the knife.

” No ! It’s… It’s impossible. »

Instead of b***d… A black substance flowed.

The poison…as we call it.

I cried out in disbelief.

” It is not possible ! »

Leaving the dagger in his chest, I walked away from him.

I would have fallen without the hold on my waist that stabilized me… The tingling calmed me instantly.

“Logan… How… How is this possible…. How are we going to defeat him?” I

said, my eyes still fixed on the single pair of eyes.

He rose to his feet, the dagger falling. I couldn’t inflict pain on him.

All his wounds healed suddenly and that’s when I heard Logan whispering quietly.

“It’s Elysium. »

But it also flowed through my veins… The poison was still there, so why wasn’t I like him… Why was I still mortal?

“But Logan…I…?” »

“You have not lost your humanity, Vera. Your wolf is alive, but in his… …There is no longer any cell of humanity in him. »

“Elysium has exceeded the tolerance level and… Somehow… its body has adapted to it. »

“It’s… impossible.” »

He held me secure as I swallowed, looking at Benjamin’s imposing form. All the thugs were almost dead now, everyone’s focus remaining on one man.

“How…. How can I… kill him? I

asked and Logan tightened his grip on my hand. His words gave me new hope.

“You won’t, Vera. We. We will all do it together. »

And with that, he pulled me behind him and nodded to everyone.

Everyone moved forward to surround the beast, while I stood back watching them.

“Are we all going to survive this? »

My heart pounded rapidly in my chest as I heard Logan order and give everyone the attack strategy through the mind link.

It was too dangerous.

His form… He transformed… His size increased and his muscles almost tore.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhh. »

He shouted, his deadly eyes glaring at me. The color of his iris changed… Being surrounded by red.

And that’s when he shouted a name, which chilled me.

“Anaraaaaaa!” You’re mine ! ! »

“Mine!” »

He screamed like crazy, uprooting trees and corpses.

He has become crazy and more dangerous than he was before.

“No one can kill him… There must be something… He can’t be immortal.”

He just can’t! »

I looked around to see everyone ready to give their lives for this. For the good of humanity.

Men and women who, together, stood up against evil.

Tears of frustration left my eyes… Together, they… were all united.

There were no men or women… That day, we were just humans.

No inequality… No superiority… Nothing.

We were one.

Like the children of the Moon Goddess.

I was too lost looking at the form of the beast, I was shaken by Logan.

His hands held my shoulders so I looked at him.

“Vera?” »

I nodded, looking into his calm, calm eyes.

How could he be so calm? We were all going to die!

” Eh ? I

asked confusedly as he held my face, his touch suddenly calming me.

” Look at me. Calm down. »

I exhaled, nodding at him. And before I knew it, he was pulling me towards him.

He hugged me, his touch making all my anxiety suddenly disappear.

We stayed in each other’s embrace for only a few seconds, but it seemed like an eternity.

His last words in my ear, made me tighten my grip on him and a tear left my eye.

“It doesn’t matter what happens today. I have loved you and I will always love you, my lioness. Remember this. »
