THUNDERFIST : Iron Rebellion

CHAPTER 17

Cassian

Watching them getting stiff under my fist, as I clenched while making that popping sound. I would love to hear their bones pop. As soon Otis was making his moves towards me, I knew I had to put it up for myself. Just an inch away from his face, I pushed my innocence and I let my anger drive me.

My fist collided with his cheekbone, and I swear I felt the impact after I got renounced. He fell and I back flip as his men had already jumped in the action. Not too late than not getting this fun to remember, I will make them taste their blood.

One on one, they approached while kicking in the air and a few of them tried to show me some great martial art moves.

I blew the whistle, “nice legs, dude but I will break them anyhow.” I stared at him while I snapped my back hand at his face. 

Jumped up in the air, I fell on the car’s dashboard and otis the red furious eyes of my little brat ex bestie.

“Tsk.. tsk… i knew it would break your heart but your mom always loved my c**k…” i raised my eyebrows while winking at him.

Pissing him off was my favorite hobby and still but things are no longer the same it used to be. He is no longer my favorite person. It was traumatizing to see how one can fake everything, from the emotions to relationships. Should I have known it was a game from the start, I would have been in better hands.

“I knew my mom was a w***e but since when did your taste go down to older women? Maybe you didn’t find someone to f**k, actually. So bored.. Are you even a man?”

He was trying to piss me off but his taunts had no longer an effect on me.

“Go on dude, justify your mother’s action like that because admitting that your mother got f****d by someone of his son’s age will be very disappointing and embarrassing to you.” I chuckled and punched the life out of him.

I saw him falling to his back and the others with him attacked me at once. I was struggling to get out of tehur hold but they were stronger together. Actually, to be honest, they were working like a pro team. They know who and how they have to do this.

Otis got up from the ground and punched repeatedly on my stomach. He kneed me in the guts and my eyes popped out.

“I will beat you to the pulp, Cass… you don’t deserve to live even.” he kicked me in my chest and i heard a sound maybe i broke my rib or two.

The blood dripped out from the corners of my lips as the pain intensified with each beat. It was hard for me to look up at him.

“Are you wondering why I did that to you?” huh?” He grabbed my chin roughly and made me look at him.

“Bark, my b***h, bark!!!” I said while grinning.as he kneed me right in my abdomen.

“So hear, you stabbed me in my back. You know how much i liked stacy since the beginning, still you chose to f**k her in the genetor room. Why the hell did you do that?” He grit his teeth harder.

“She was a w***e, probably interested in me. A taxi like her was only for enjoying rides. I did the same, what was wrong with that?” I jabbed at him while being in hold of those men.

“Oh! So don’t regret a thing?” He narrowed his gaze on me.

“Yeah, I do!!! Her hole was bigger than your mouth…should have thought of before f*****g it.” i winked at him and then he smashed my face with his unstoppable punches.

“I will kill you right here…..” he was aggressive and why not? I did make him irritated.

“Stop it right there or I will handle your tight ass all by myself…” 

Otis was about to hit me with a hockey stick and suddenly, there was this bone chilling voice heard in my ears. I immediately got to know who it belonged to..

“Alarous…” I whispered with my swollen lips.

Those men let go of me and my body fell on the ground limp.

“Looks like you need some oiling too.” Otis turned up his sleeves before getting into action.

Alarous did not waste another second to attack him. With only one kick, Otis was thrown away a few meters. His backup gasped and stepped back as Alarous approached them. The fear in their eyes was genuine as he intimidated them with his eyes only.

Otis got up with a broken arm and was shocked to find his men running away. He was mad at them but madder at Alarous.

“You? Who are you? This is my neighbourhood, I rule here.. I am the king of this place….” Otis was babbling too loudly.

Alarous approached him and slapped him harder, making him silent suddenly, “shut up! You said enough words but they are as meaningless as your life. I can turn you into dust right here and no one will find out a clue about it. Better run away and don’t ever let me catch you because I don't warn people, I threaten them to the core.” he pulled him up with his sleeves and pushed him away.

Otis didn’t look back and ran away like a little child who got his ice cream stolen by a big bad boy.

After Otis disappeared from sight, Alarous turned to look at me and with small and heavy steps, he approached me, sat beside me and stared into my eyes.

“What? Are you not going to help me get up?” i asked him while frowning.

“I am not an emergency helpline for you. You are an adult, start acting like it.” he scolded me.

“What? What was that for?” i was glaring at him.

“This won’t work on me, Cassian. You disappointed me, Alarous Vlahos, the chief commander of Thesaurus army. I have seen many tangled persons in my life but i don’t understand what you are made of. Always act rash without thinking what will happen to you in future.” he was pissed, really pissed.

“So what? It’s my life.. I will do what i want… i don’t want to live under anyone’s authority. Who are you to me to say something like that.” i was furious on his attstement and got up with all my power.

“I am a friend from past, a place where this world doesn’t exist, Cassian. But do you know who you are?” he is hiding so many things.

“You don’t even have a name attached to your name. What is your authenticity? No idea. It never crawled to your mind to find out your existence. How pathetic king you will be in future? Actually, i must say past.” he stated with a confidence which made me felt regretted down to my core.

“What are you talking about?” i said.

Alaorus grabbed my arm and put it behind my back. I was screaming in pain but his grip only tightened.

“What are you doing?” I was crying.

“Showing you your position! This ground, you place. You don’t have the talent to be called a king, you don’t have courage to follow your father’s legacy, you have no bravery inside you like your mother to fight against your enemies. You are a disgrace. I wasted my time waiting all these years to train you one day, so you could replace your king’s place with you. Terrible decision, your mother made a terrible decision sending you here ....” Alarous looked petrified. 

I stood on my legs but they were numb, “my mother?”

“Yes, you mother!! Alaine Petridis! She sacrificed her motherhood only to see you alive. She made a terrible decision, leaving the fate of us wolves on your shoulder. Who can’t lift himself, how could he lift the existence of our whole community.” Alarous seemed devastated but he was keeping his calm.

“I know nothing about this….” I tried to speak up..

“Shut up!! Just shut up!! All these excuses, you never even tried. I know everything. I have kept my eye on you from the shadows. I am the shadow wolf of Thesaurus!! I struggle to become one. And here, you! I can’t even give you a tag of our community..”

I stood in silence.

“Hand over me that sacred emblem which was given to you by Abigail, it means nothing to you…” Alarous took out the green cloth and turned his heels to leave.

“This is the last clothing your father wore before dying.. If you want it, come and get it.. I will wait for you in the shadows…” he glances at me one last time before disappearing in the dark corner of the alley.
