Darius:
A week ago:
"Asshole, dumb fucker," I groaned, kicking a rock after hearing the news about Roo’s death. Why the heck did he go to et that Charlotte? What was so special about that basic bitch anyway? He got killed for soone like Charlotte?
"It seems like she’s doing really well. I heard from soone that before Roo was arrested, Helanie beat his ass."
Of course, my wolf had to co out and try to scare .
"Oh, fuck her. I’ll take care of her. As for all that strength talk—it sounds like PR nonsense. She can never beat ," I groaned, clenching my jaw hard.
"You need to give it your all on the battlefield. Don’t show rcy just because you like her," my wolf advised.
"You really think I won’t fight her because I want to marry her? Huh," I laughed and clicked my tongue.
"I’ll give it my best to win, and once I marry her, I’ll fuck her every day and night until she realizes that even after all the training and big speeches, she’s just my cum dumpster. I’ll fuck the revenge right out of her," I grunted, feeling irritated.
One by one, all my friends died because of her.
That one night of pleasure caused all this.
"If only we hadn’t taken that mission," my wolf cried out, reminding who had sent us to that station that night.
"I don’t regret fucking her. I just regret not doing sothing to deal with her earlier. If only I had offered to marry her right after that gang rape, I’m sure she would’ve miserably accepted it," I hissed.
"I don’t think she would have. Those days are gone—when victims thought marrying their abuser would fix everything. People are awake now, or so they say. That whole stupid equality thing—and this idea that won can do anything—that’s the reason why these weak won are raising their heads, fighting back, and even killing alphas," my wolf was right.
Helanie would’ve never agreed to marry .
But I’ll show her my strength when she loses the battle and is forced to marry .
As soon as I heard snarling and hissing nearby, I beca alert. It had to be those Zharns. I heard Helanie had fought one—what a lie.
I ran with my bag to get back ho and, while doing so, uploaded a statent saying I had fought so too.
Once I got ho, I sat on my bed and stared at the bottle of blue liquid in my bag. Before dying, Roo had gotten it for .
It was sothing that would help during the battle.
I’d paid so people to spread rumors that I was training like a beast, that I’d fought Zharns and won.
It would give a boost on the battlefield.
"Do you have a minute?"
A knock on the door made aware of my sister’s arrival. It had been so long since she ca to talk to , so when she did, I was glad she ca over.
"Jessica, co in, please," I said with a weak smile. My sister ant the whole world to . We used to be so close. And she used to be so proud of , but Helanie ruined it for us.
"I just wanted to co and see you," she sat down on the bed, and I instantly rested my head in her lap like I used to before.
"I didn’t do it," I lied again. She should have believed —but instead, she believed Helanie.
"Shhhh," she ran her fingers through my hair and hushed gently.
"You know—I love Norman a lot. I’d do anything for him. But there was soone I loved even more than Norman, and that soone used to be you. I loved you so much—I took care of you like I was your mother. I just don’t understand... When did I lose you? When did you beco so evil that you couldn’t tell right from wrong? I’m just... mad at myself because—I let you beco this monster who hurt innocent won," her voice cracked, and I closed my eyes, swallowing back tears.
"Darius, what would you have done if soone had done the sa to ?"
The thought of her in that situation made bite the inside of my cheek until I tasted blood.
"I would burn them all alive—but I didn’t do it," I lifted my head and looked into her eyes, tears blurring my vision. "I didn’t. She’s lying—she’s mistaken that I was there that night."
Jessica turned her head away and started sobbing.
"I know when you’re lying. It’s a sha that you don’t even feel guilty. I’ve looked into her eyes, Darius. It’s been so hard for her to prove she was innocent and to get justice. She had to make every single one of you confess to what you did. Before that, everyone was just as sure as you that they ’didn’t do it.’ You know... when soone gets raped or assaulted, it doesn’t end there. That’s when the pain really begins."
Jessica took a deep breath and slowly wiped her hand on her dress—the sa hand that had just touched my hair. Seeing her feel that disgust for ... it only made my anger toward Helanie burn hotter.
Why couldn’t she let it go?
It was just one night.
Just one!
"I’ll prove to you that I’m innocent," I said. But Jessica stood up and walked toward the door.
"As much as I wish you’re telling the truth... I’m scared you’re not. Don’t expect to cheer for you on the battlefield."
She didn’t even turn around to look at as she said those words and walked out, closing the door behind her.
’I’m going to avenge all my friends’ deaths. I’ll make this Helanie feel real pain—the kind that makes her beg to stop, but I won’t. She couldn’t forgive us for one night—I won’t forgive her for my friends’ murders either.’
That was final.
I would take the blue strength potion and beat her.
