The Rebel
Chapter 59

Woman’s tolerance is like a dam on a rushing river.

She’s calm on the surface, but withstands tons of pressure underneath.

So it keeps everything inside, developing cracks in the concrete.

So as to never let humanity suffer the slightest harm.

And that until one day, it broke.

It thus leaves the whole world on the verge of catastrophe.

Flashback

The aura of the forest had turned deadly and the crowd was suddenly silent.

She had seen her King plunge a knife into the body of his own Queen, their Queen.

She had betrayed her love for him. She had betrayed his trust, their trust, and the trust of the entire world in the concept of the marital bond.

“Veraaaaaaaaa!” »

Alex shouted as he ran towards her, and everyone followed him.

Eyes widened and hearts pounded in their chests.

They were all afraid that something would happen to him.

They were afraid of winning this war but losing the most precious person in this big battle.

Before either of them could even reach her, her limp body was held by Logan’s strong hands.

This prevented him from falling.

In contrast, his hands were still covered in his b***d as he sat with her dying body in his arms.

“F…for…what?” She

managed to ask in her strangled voice and Logan couldn’t help himself, but just looked into her eyes.

Her beautiful brown eyes looked at him with a look of vulnerability and betrayal, and he couldn’t help but caress her cheek with his thumb.

At the same time he dried his tears.

She found it hard to breathe, her chest heaving in protest and her eyes widening.

Which made her shed even more tears.

“Get away from my daughter, you bastard!” How dare you? »

Arnold arrived first and Arthur drew his sword to fight, but Logan didn’t react.

He was completely focused on her.

Then, Ben came running, but was just pushed away by Logan’s hand. His eyes were still fixed on the young woman’s tearful ones and he coldly ordered.

“Everyone stay where you are. »

They were all so confused. Besides, they didn’t know what to do. Of everyone present, only Ben knew how Logan felt about Vera.

And no matter what, he knew he could never kill her.

In fact, he could kill thousands of people for her, he could even kill himself for her, but she… Never!

And that’s when the idea came to him… No… No… He couldn’t.

His eyes widened and he took a step forward when Logan’s Lycan command stopped him in his tracks.

” Whore ! I said STAY! » …

Everyone was stunned by the aura and authority of his command, their heads immediately bowed.

“Al… ph… a”

Ben tried again when for the first time he got a mental link, confirming his doubts.

“Put the medical team on standby.” »

“But Alpha… It’s too dangerous… you can’t…” …

“Do it Ben! » …

And that was all he needed, turning around he called in the best medical team.

Meanwhile, Alex and Kane, on the other hand, felt a sharp pain in their chest, unsure of what was happening.

Logan noticed this and sighed.

Lowering his head, he observed the black spreading over Vera and now covering half of her face.

Her eyes are fixed on him, unblinking.

The lifeless look in those eyes was killing him inside.

“What are you doing, a*****e!” She’s dying! »

This time, it was Alex, who tried to reach him despite his injured state.

The words Logan said next made everyone jump, and they couldn’t believe their eyes.

“She must die. »

His voice was devoid of any emotion, as if her death did not matter to him.

His eyes were cold and deadly.

No one knew what was hidden deep inside him.

” What ? F*****g Logan! How can you say that? You said you loved him, holy shit! » …

Kane exclaimed before falling silent. And that’s when he saw the last spark of life fade from her eyes.

His body began to revolt, to tremble vigorously before finally calming down without doing anything.

He saw the last breath leave her soft lips and he whispered lowly.

” I really like. »

But no one cared, their eyes were fixed on Vera. His still eyes caused sobs and the crowd began to cry.

This wasn’t supposed to happen, she wasn’t supposed to die.

“Veraaaaaa!” Nooooo! Veraaaaa! Open your eyes ! You can’t die! » …

“Veraaaa!” » …

“My daughter… My Zara… No… This… cannot be done.

They were all in mourning, tears streaming down their eyes. They watched carefully the movements of his chest.

Again. Dead.

While everyone cried, Logan just watched.

His heartbeat was no longer audible, that’s when he saw what was happening.

Her blackened veins were disappearing… Now that she was dead, the poison was leaving her veins.

This ended the curse of Elysium.

His face was getting rid of the blackened veins, followed by his neck and body.

This allowed her to regain her beauty.

Her cheeks remained tinted red even when she was dead. Her skin was cold and pale, but clear and beautiful.

And that’s when Logan looked up to look at everyone, his words making everyone gape at him.

“The Curse of Elysium is dead. We have now won the war. »

Having taken off his shirt, he showed his chest to everyone and some people were screaming.

His chest was darkening just like Vera’s, but that’s when they saw a miracle happen.

Indeed, the black disappeared, the b***d flowed back into his veins and the dark substance vanished into the air.

He was lost, as if he hadn’t been there in the first place, and that’s when hope resurfaced in everyone’s minds.

Some had the dark thing on their arms, others on their chests.

However, Kane and Alex had it close to their chest, the very reason for the burning pain earlier.

Surprised, everyone looked at his body only to realize that the black thing was gone.

Elysium is gone.

And that’s when Benjamin’s corpse turned to ashes, the black disappearing to leave nothing behind.

Everyone exchanged looks of disbelief and happiness, until the sacrifice of their Queen presented itself to them.

Now they knew why Logan had done it, why their own King had killed his Queen.

It was for them.

For his people, for their lives.

Indeed, he was a true king in every sense of the word.

This was why their hearts were filled with respect for this man.

Elysium was created by The Beast and Anara.

And only they could put an end to it.

It was then that Logan saw that the Beast’s death did not end the poison in his body.

In fact, he knew that a much greater sacrifice was necessary to save humanity.

The Queen’s sacrifice was necessary.

And he did it, even though what happened next would break him.

He had to do it.

Everyone was mourning her death when suddenly Logan took a deep breath to approach her.

Everyone was silent again.

“What is the King doing? »

“Isn’t she dead?” »

“Has he gone crazy or what?” »

“His aura seems weak. »

People in the crowd were whispering as Logan had his eyes closed. He breathed deeply, again and again.

He blocked out their voices to gather all the strength he was going to need.

When he suddenly pushed them, everyone stood back in shock.

His eyes glowed, in amber flames, as he approached her.

The dead silence surrounding him began to be disturbed by his powerful aura.

And then, without wasting another second, he pressed his palms to his heart, eyes closed.

In fact, he had never done this before.

His mother had taught him this once when he was a child, her words still echoing in his mind.

“A healer’s gift is the most precious in this world, Logan. After the moon goddess, only a healer has the power to bring back to life anything that has died.

Only a healer can heal and resurrect the dead. »

“But mom… I can’t even heal my own wounds well… How am I going to give life to someone? »

She then smiled at him, kissing his palms.

“Your heart will guide him. No healer has ever done this before, but I trust you, Logan.

I know you will one day. »

Then Logan knew this day had come. He hadn’t been able to save his family, he hadn’t been able to resurrect his mother, but Vera?

He wasn’t going to let her die.

“But remember, Logan. Nothing is free in this world. To have something, you have to give something. »

“To heal someone, you have to hurt yourself.

To bring the dead back to life, you have to kill yourself. »

He smiled, his palms came into contact with his chest where once his heart was beating rapidly.

The heart that sank when he was around her.

There was no effort needed now.

“Forgive me for this betrayal, Vera, but I must do this. »

And that’s when he screamed, releasing all his energy. A yellow light surrounded them, causing everyone to step back.

The fear.

They had never seen anyone like this. Someone with the power to summon light, not to mention heal.

The winds began to blow around them, spinning the sand and earth like a hurricane.

They couldn’t see what was happening.

People shielded their eyes from the storm in front of them.

“Aaaaaaaaaaahhh… Aaaaaahhh!” » …

Logan’s cries, the howls of his wolves, his pain.

They all gave everything they had in them, to save her.

All this caused the ground to shake, and a bright light emerged from the center.

This one dazzled everyone.

“Aaaaaaaah… Ah! »

Her cries were getting lower and lower, reducing to painful m***s.

And finally, they fell silent.

A sudden burst of another blinding light dazzled everyone.

And then.

Nothing.

Just dead silence, as the entire forest seemed to be shaken by catastrophe.

The darkness of night returned.

People tried to get up… To take a closer look at what was happening.

But what they saw brought tears to their eyes and some couldn’t believe their eyes.

There were not two, but three bodies lying there.

They lay motionless on the ground, with one heart beating rapidly while the other’s beats were at a slowed pace.

The third was dead.

“Riiiiiiiii Alphaaaaa!” »

People shouted when they saw the third corpse lying there.

They didn’t expect it to be him.

After all, it wasn’t every day they saw such a strong bond.

And that’s why he changed his name.

It was now called: “A Sacrifice of True Love”.

… … … … … … … … … … … … … … …..

Currently

Night had fallen and the war was over.

Silence spread throughout the forest.

The howls of pain were finally silenced, and very soon the armies would return.

At the top of the royal castle stood the figure of a man looking into the distance.

His breath made the air foggy, as it was freezing outside.

But the cold didn’t bother him.

He was too lost looking into the distance, where the royal lands begin.

This was taking longer than usual, why weren’t they coming back?

Fear that something would happen to them made his anxiety rise with each passing minute.

Having tightened his grip on the railing, he closed his eyes.

He felt the cold wind hit his face. However, he tried to concentrate to catch a scent.

But nothing.

Nothing except silence.

He tried again and again and again, only to fail each time. This caused the feeling of helplessness to settle within him.

Therefore, he hated his new identity more than ever.

” Damn it ! »

He exclaimed as he slammed his fist on the railing, a tear of frustration fell from his eyes.

He just looked at his hands through his hazy vision.

They were trembling.

It was beyond his control, causing another tear to fall from his eye.

Drops of tears landed on his palms and he couldn’t help but let out a sob.

Why was I so useless?

He thought as he clenched his fists, their movement weak.

He wiped away his tears, which he only let fall when he was alone.

When he suddenly heard footsteps approaching him, his eyes focused on the entrance.

And that’s when he saw them, led by her.

Their new Werewolf Queen.

Relief flooded his insides like never before and the only thing he wanted was to engulf her in his arms with lots of warmth.

A tear of happiness fell from her eyes this time when his excited brown eyes met hers.

She raised her dagger in the air, head held high.

She spoke the words that laid the foundation for another world.

A world where women will be leaders just like men.

A world where injustice towards women will be an unforgivable sin.

A world where a woman’s true strength will never be questioned again.

” We did it. »

She stated and he in turn smiled, nodding at her.

He couldn’t tell her how proud he was of her.

A voice came from behind him and he nodded, asking the guard to continue.

“With the defeat of the four greatest rebellions in history under her leadership, Queen Vera’s abilities as queen will never again be questioned.

The official communiqué has been received, Sir. »

He heaved a sigh of relief, looking straight into his partner’s excited eyes.

His lips showed a small smile.

“Princess Zara Saravera Knight is now officially summoned to the royal court.

This is for her coronation as Werewolf Queen.

For his rightful position at your side, Sir. »

So, that’s when he closed his eyes, feeling like the happiest man in the world.

What if he couldn’t smell her, what if he couldn’t move. What if he couldn’t fight alongside his Queen.

What if he is disabled and weak now.

But he had her by his side.

He remained the strongest man on this earth.

Indeed, he was his Vera’s King Logan.
