The Rebel
Chapter 49

“She betrayed our king with him!” »

“Our king is lying on his deathbed because of her!” »

“This Rebel is her lover!” »

“Together, they plan to overthrow our king!” »

“She should be killed along with the Rebel!” »

“She’s a traitor!” »

People’s screams echoed through the silent forest, but this time, Vera didn’t care.

What people said didn’t matter to her.

“Kill that whore!” How dare she touch me? Executioner! What are you waiting for ? I said go for it! the elder said, rubbing his neck and looking at her with pure hatred.

“But the eldest is our…”

“She is not our Queen!” Don’t you see that she betrayed us! »

The other elders agreed. And the executioner swallowed, looking into Vera’s rebellious eyes.

” Do it. »

That’s all she said. But at that moment, Alex was untied from the pole and his weak body fell without the bonds.

” No ! Vera! What are you doing… ? » He begged as Vera held out her hands to be tied up.

They tied them up and locked them above his head, in the same position Alex was in a few seconds ago.

“Luna!” I never leave you! I will be back ! “, Ben said in his mental link and she warned him: “If you leave the border, we are all dead, Ben. Benjamin can attack at any time. Rule number 1: No matter what happens, no one leaves their post. »

“But…”

“Don’t move!” I will not repeat! It’s an order from your Luna! »

The authority in his voice silenced him. He cannot break his order, he was bound by it.

And that’s when she blocked him, making the barrier appear in his mind.

The executioner gulped, seeing the determination in the girl’s eyes, as the crowd began to scream.

“Whip her!” She deserves it ! »

“Traitor!” »

“Kill that whore!” »

She looked at the crowd coldly, while Alex shook his head helplessly.

Too weak to move, he tried to crawl towards her when the guards stopped him.

“Go on, dammit!” “, Vera shouted at the executioner, who looked upset and scared.

Shaking his head in refusal, the whip fell from his hands and he stepped back.

“I’m… Sorry… I can’t… You’re still my Luna… I can’t hurt my Luna.” »

The crowd cried out in disappointment, and Alex breathed a sigh of relief.

But the eldest who was suffocated earlier,

Taking the whip from the executioner’s hand, he was going to do it in his place.

“Get out of the way, you coward.” Let me do it. »

He didn’t wait for him to protest. Tightening his grip on the handle of the whip, he smiled at Vera, before bringing down her with all his might.

“Nooooooooo,” Alex cried helplessly.

The sound of the whip cutting through the air was heard and then it came into contact with his skin.

Unlike Alex, she wasn’t whipped on the back. Vera’s breathing stopped for a second at impact.

She closed her eyes, felt numb, the screams silenced in her mind for a second, and she felt at peace. Unless it comes flooding back.

The screams, the accusing eyes and the agonizing pain.

They arrived together and with all their strength this time.

.

.

.

8:29 p.m.

Center of the country.

His white shirt turned red, torn in the front. She had fresh wounds from the whipping.

She lost consciousness. And the elder’s hands trembled with fatigue. Blisters had formed on his palms.

“Submit, you whore!” »

That’s what he shouted and she couldn’t help but smile even in this bloody state, giving them a psychotic and nefarious vibe.

The crowd went silent now, no man let alone a woman had endured a public whipping to this extent.

Such intolerance of crippling pain was a feat in itself.

And the voices that questioned his virtue and his honor were silenced, putting an end to their doubt.

“Ahhhh,” the elder shouted, before bringing down the whip for the umpteenth time. His entire arm was shaking with the force he was using.

He got nothing in response, not even a whisper of the pain he tried to inflict on her.

” Fatigue ? » That’s all she asked. His brown orbs challenged his cold gray eyes that burned with hatred and fury.

He couldn’t believe it…no one could.

How could she? She was just a weak human, a wolf? How could she endure such pain and torture? Any other person would already be dead… But her.

So resilient and unbreakable.

“Kill her!” Kill the whore,” someone in the crowd shouted. And that’s when the older boy smirked.

Who says they follow the rules anyway.

Furthermore, his death was what they thought was justice.

A well-deserved punishment for betraying your mate and having relations with someone else.

A punishment for adultery.

A lesson for women not to break the law in the future.

Walking towards the table, the elder picked up the dagger.

The Rebel’s dagger which was in the custody of justice.

Showing her to the audience, the elder smiled at the girl all bloodied in bounds and went towards Alex.

“Isn’t that the dagger you used to kill those men, Rebel?” he asked, lifting his face and grabbing her hair.

Getting no response from him, the elder stood up.

He showed the dagger to the audience and said,

“Why not use it to end this pathetic she-wolf’s existence?” »

“Would it not then be considered just and equitable? »

The crowd shouted in agreement and the elder smiled as he looked at Vera.

He slid his finger along the blade to approach her.

“A last wish? »

He asked looking at her with pity, and she spat the b***d from her mouth onto his clothes. She smirked back at him.

“I’m not afraid of dying… However… What happens next… Will make you regret killing me.” »

He didn’t understand. No one understood except Alex.

His eyes widened when he felt the aura of the place change, it was the same aura he felt during the last new moon. ” Shit ! He is coming ! , he thought, fear in his mind as he realized what was going to happen.

The girl who was going to be kidnapped this time… Was none other than Vera!

Whore !

Looking around, he saw that everyone was staring at Vera. It was impossible to understand her.

“What do you mean, you whore!” “, the elder said and that’s when Vera’s eyes landed on the crowd that had gathered.

Her eyes grew cold and she looked back at the elder.

“Look behind you. »

And that’s when everyone turned around. The big beast stood there, growling.

Benjamin wasn’t alone this time.

He was accompanied by an army of wanderers who were groaning and on the verge of madness.

The crowd scattered, screaming and running as the dagger fell from the elder’s hand.

He staggered back in shock.

” What is this thing… ? he said, looking at her huge form when Vera responded, looking at that unique pair of eyes.

” Your death. »

The beast jumped into the air and the elder was killed in seconds. His body lay near Vera’s feet. “Death,” Benjamin growled at the crowd and the vagabonds began to attack, ready to seize power.

People’s screams surrounded her, because she was no longer the one who was going to die.

Vera stared at him, the man who caused havoc in a once peaceful place.

Resuming his human form, Benjamin approached her.

His eyes examined his torn clothes, his bloody body and his provocative eyes, A smirk covering his lips.

“Stop! ” Alex shouted, just for Benjamin to nod to his men. The wanderers immediately surrounded him, keeping him in his place.

As he tried to struggle, he shouted, “Leave… her,” but the vagrants plunged a knife into his stomach. Which caused the b***d to leave his lips and his body to collapse in pain.

Vera’s hands clenched, but she didn’t beg.

She saw Alex’s eyes staring at her with tears.

Benjamin noticed her look and approached Vera.

He placed his finger on her chin and dragged it down, to the new whip mark on her neck. He smiled as he moved closer to her and whispered in her ear, “Did you miss me, my love?” Look where the justice you defend has taken you. »

“You bastard!” “, she said coldly. He smiled. She struggled within the confines, making him laugh.

“There at my mercy.” »
