Chapter 18 : A Warrior's Death

Rex, Humphrey and Kate were shocked upon hearing the story of Lucas's life and pitied him for who was now the person standing infront of them, but he isn't his old self anymore as Lucas is dead inside him and the newborn identity known as Lust was created. Lust looked at them with a smile, showing no signs of sadness or anger, only looks of pure evil.

'And I believe you know who are those two wolves who brought Lisa and Steven away.' He said with an evil grin.

'Um, who exactly?' Humphrey asked, scratching his head as he has no idea of who those two wolves are.

'It's my parents.' Rex said and Kate nodded in agreement which surprised Humphrey.

'Correct. I must say that you're very good in identifications, Rex. You impressed me.' Lust said, but Rex ignored his complements as he enters his own thoughts.

So I studied his dead parent's body. I'm so sorry. He thought.

'Well, what happened next?' Humphrey asked and caused Rex to snap out of his thoughts.

'Well…' Lust said as he continued his unfinished story…

Lust followed where the two wolves brought his parents to and surprisingly, they leaded him directly to where he wanted; The Northern pack's territory. He managed to sneak in without catching the attention of the patrols; his training since he was a pup had finally paid off, and found a den in the woods at the feeding ground; a hole under the ground containing clean water, for the convenience of hunting for food. He's been studying the pack's movements daily and stealthily, and of course, he would stalk on some girls who usually played by the pond in a perverted way; his tongue hanging out with saliva dripping at the edge and his penis extended from its sheath. But he doesn't dare to rape any one of them as it was a stupid idea; their disappearance will alert the pack, strengthening their patrols which make it harder for him to survey the pack territory. He continuously thought about it for a while as he chewed on a dead Caribou that he's gonna save the rest of the meat for the rest of the days, trying to come up with a good plan but with no avail. Knowing that he can't just sit in his new den and think about it all day, he continued to survey the territory, hoping to spot something that may aid him in forming a plan, and it came when he saw a wolf that has the same appearance as his hanging out with two girls and one guy; one of the female has a dark red pelt with brown eyes and the other has a white pelt with yellow eyes, while the male has a grey pelt with a white underbelly and yellow eyes. He was pretty shocked at first, then smiled as he now had a perfect plan to get himself into the pack without them noticing any changes. But a sudden question stunned him as he stared at his lookalike.

Could he be my dead brother? He thought.

He shook his head several times to forget about it, but curiosity had a firm grip on him. After his morning survey, he began to study on the daily life of his lookalike, and learned that he has a brother named Rex, which was the wolf who has a grey pelt with a white underbelly and yellow eyes, and a mate named Rebecca, which was the wolf with a dark brown pelt and brown eyes. A few days passed and his plan was all set; all he have to do is to wait for an opening on his lookalike to be alone. He never actually cared if his lookalike was actually his brother; all he cared was pleasures from women, but coincidentally, he stumbled upon it when he surveyed close to his lookalike's parent's den.

As he sat beside the den to catch a breath after making a silent run through the territory for his survey, he overheard the conversation of a couple who he recognized well; the healers of the pack who took his dead parents to their den for disection, as they discussed something secretly among themselves.

'Should we tell Lex about it?' A female voice said.

'About what?' A male voice replied.

'You know what I'm talking about.'

'You mean him being adopte-'

Lust was really surprised at what the male wolf had said and heard a muffled voice from the den; she must've covered her mate's mouth with her paws to stop him from what he's about to say.

'Don't say it out loud. Our pups might be around.' The female said in a worried tone.

'Oh. Sorry.' The male voice replied.

'So, should we?'

'I don't know, but it's best that he doesn't know about that.'

'You know we can't hide this forever from him, right?'

'Of course I know, but we'll try to avoid this as much as we can.' The male voice then continued in a soft tone, but Lust was still able to hear his voice. 'You don't want him to know that his parents died due to fighting off a bear, right? He would be really depressed if he did. Plus, I've promised his parents that I would take good care of him, so their efforts won't be wasted.'

He was now taken aback as the truth has been revealed; Lex really was his brother, and has been alive for the whole time. He continued to listen to their conversation as the female voice replied in a sad tone.

'I know. But what about Rex? Should we not tell him too?'

'Yeah. He would be shocked if he knows Lex doesn't flow the same blood as his. Let's just try to avoid talking about this, okay?'

The den was silent for a few seconds; she must've nodded back at him to show her reply. At that moment, footsteps began to be heard outside of the den, but it wasn't Lusts, but Lex as he returned from his duties to pay his parents a visit. He immediately backed to the side of the den and waited for him to enter the den before taking his leave to his den. Although he now knows the truth, he still proceeds with his plan, showing no guilt or any emotions; Lucas was already dead. He wore an evil grin as he ran back to his den stealthily.

So, his parents haven't told him the truth yet, eh? Well, looks like I'll have to do it for them… He thought to himself.

Upon his story, Rex was pretty surprised to know that Lust's been hiding in his pack territory and he hated himself for not noticing it.

Damn. He must be really good in stealth to be able to bypass the Alphas. He thought to himself before returning to reality.

'Wait. So you're the one who've been raping all of those female wolves back at the Northern pack, then-' Humphrey was cut-short when Rex barged in angrily.

'What have you done to my brother!'

'Well, let's just say my plan succeeded and my target's erased from this world.' He replied, and Rex's growls began to grow louder. 'He has the life that I had before it was taken away from me. There is no justice in this world. If I can't have it, so can't him. So, how does it feels like, Rex? Losing the ones you truly loved? Having her at first and gone in the next?'

Rex clenched his canines shut and sink his claws into the ground, about to run at him at any moment, and it sank deeper when the next words that came out of Lust entered his ears.

'Would you like to know how he and Rebecca died?'

Lust then continued his story without fearing Rex's burst of anger and vengeance towards him…

I had been stalking on Rebecca for a really long time, staring at her slim and sexy body that made my intention of raping her stronger. Her behavior and attitude made herself quite a charmer too. My plan was to kill and rape her and wait for Lex to find her body, then go in for the kill. I was fully prepared as I hid behind the trees; I managed to mimic Lex's voice and his way of talking perfectly. I also made a few slashes on myself to make the exact same scars as his, well, almost. Unfortunately, there was one problem; there might be other wolves nearby who might found her body first instead of him, and other than that, her beauty was breaking my resistance, forcing me to uncloak myself and rape her immediately. I tried to hold back those intense feelings of pleasure and lust and push aside the thoughts of how she would sound like when I have sex with her, and it was unbearably painful. Just when I was about to break as she faced her tight butt towards me as she smelled the beautiful flowers, revealing her vagina that made my penis unsheathed and erected instantly, the dark clouds that formed unexpectedly above us began to pour heavy rain, and at that moment I felt god aiding me in my plan. A grin grew across my face and I walked out of the shadows to begin my plan without fearing anything; all wolves would be staying in their den now and none will exit till the rain's over, except for Lex as he have to search for his mate.

Her ears perked up as she heard footsteps behind her and she was surprised to see me when she turned around. I smiled as she totally fell for my appearance and changed my expression into a worried look as I got closer.

'Lex? What are you doing out here?' She asked curiously.

'I found that you weren't in our den, so I came looking for you. Are you okay?' I replied in my mimic voice.

'I'm fine. I'm just here to enjoy the nature and the smell of fresh air. Guess I enjoyed it too much that I forgot to take note on the weather.' She said accompanied by a small laugh.

The next thing that you'll be enjoying is a huge pleasure from me. I thought lustfully in my mind.

'Well, come on. Let's get out of the rain. We can stay below those trees.' I said, pointing my paw at the trees where I was hiding as it has thick canopy layers that can reduce the amount of rain pouring through.

She nodded and as she walked beside me towards the trees, she stopped and I noticed her nose twitch. She stared at me with a scared expression and I was quite puzzled about it, until I realized what she had noticed; my scent was totally different from Lex. She began to back away in fear and I tried to act as innocent as I can.

'What's wrong honey?' I asked with a worried expression.

'You're-You're not Lex, aren't you?' She said in fear, making a distance away from me.

Well, so much for the smooth plan. I thought in an annoyed tone before trying to persuade her.

'Wha-What do you mean? Come on, stop joking around and let's go.'

'No. You're not Lex. Who are you! How do you have the same appearance as his?!'

Seeing that her finding out my identity won't affect my plan, I began to walk closer towards her with my expression returning back to my evil grin which terrified her even more.

'Well, I guess I might as well drop the act now.' I said in my regular voice and her eyes widened in fear.

'What do you want from me?!' She said as she continued to move backwards.

'My, my. You're a real beauty, Rebecca. That charming looks and sexy body just makes me feel the ecstasy that I've never felt for a really long time. I wonder if Lex ever tried to mate with you yet.'

'How did you know Lex and my name?' She said, her mind full of questions that was ready to be fired at me.

'I've been watching you two, darling. And I must say that I'm proud of his position in this pack.'

Sensing that I'm here for trouble, she fell into her fighting stance and growled as she now knows how my personality works and I could tell by looking into her eyes that she was praying for Lex to come to save her, but I guess her prayers won't be answered. I was wrong.

As I continued my approach towards her, a sudden presence feel upon me and just before I could react, an unknown wolf leaped out of the shadows and gripped me by the throat by surprise. Luckily, I managed to throw him away with my overgrown strength and the wolf landed on his four feet infront of Rebecca, and it revealed to be Lex.

'Lex!' Rebecca cried, feeling relieved and safe under her mate's protection and presence.

'Are you okay, darling?' Lex asked in a worried tone.

'Yeah, I'm fine. But this wolf…'

Lex turned towards me and was stunned by my exact appearance as his, except for my scent, and demanded for an answer.

'Do you really want to know? 'Cause I'm pretty sure you're not prepared for this.' I said with a smirk.

'You better spit it out now before I rip your throat out.' He growled, with the rain pouring above us continuously and water dripping from our chins.

I let out an evil laugh before looking back at him.

'Alright. Let me ask you a question. Do you remember anything about your past?'

Only receiving a serious expression from him as he tried to recall his lost memories, I decided to provide assistance to his puzzled mind.

'Did you remember the time when our mother told us stories of the spirit of the White wolf? And the echoes of her beautiful voice as she sang songs to us?'

The word 'our mother' entered Rebecca's ear even though the wind roared around us and her eyes widened as she realized who I was but Lex didn't; he was diving too deep in his sea of memories that he wasn't paying attention to me. Finally, his face lit up as he revealed something and looked at me with a shocked expression.

'Brother?' He said, and a smirk returned to my face.

'I'm glad you remembered. Both of us were adopted by other wolves and separated from each other.'

Lex sat on the ground as he was shocked to know the truth behind his past, so was Rebecca, and he looked back at me as I continued.

'But sadly, this isn't your 'brother' who you're looking at right now.'

'What do you mean?' He asked, looked puzzled.

'Your brother whose name is Lucas is now dead, and a new wolf is born, and his name is Lust.'

Lex was pretty surprised about this, and he fell into his fighting stance as he knows his brother was now a perverted mutt. Rebecca whimpered behind him as she caught sight of my evil grin and lusty eyes, which caused Lex's anger to grow.

'What do you want, Lust?' He growled.

'I want to take your place in this pack, Lex. So I can rape as many female wolves as I want without anyone noticing. You see, if I take your identity, no one will ever suspect me as the rapist since I'm the commander of the wolves and assistant of the pack leader, Aren; in other words, the Beta.'

'And how are you going to do that?'

'By killing you!' and made a run towards him.

Lex fixed his eyes on his evil brother, ready for the incoming attacks he's about to receive. I pounced after reaching a few inches away and he swiftly dodged it and applied a hard knock on my back. I tumbled to the ground and got back on my feet at top speed before making another pounce, but this time, I managed to pin him down and I stabbed my claws into his thighs, disabling his hind legs from moving and causing him to roar in pain.

'Lex!' Rebecca called out in tears and ran towards him before she was pinned to the ground by me. 'Let me go you dirty mutt!'

'Why should I? Since you've known the truth along with Lex, looks like you have to die. But, I'll give you a great deal of pleasure before that happens.' I said in an evil tone with my bright red penis unsheathed and erected.

She struggled to free herself, but was overwhelmed by my enormous strength. She watched in horror as I began to edge my penis closer towards her vagina, and she screamed as I shove it in her.

'NO!' Lex roared in pain as he struggled to get onto his feet, with fresh blood flowing out of his thighs.

'Haven't you tried to have sex with her yet, Lex? If you don't, I'll show you the intense way of doing it.' I said lustfully and began to move my hips back and forth.

Her moans of pain and pleasure were truly satisfying to hear, and her warm and tight pussy made my patience and planning a worth. I felt the ecstasy rising inside me and I speed up the pace, causing her moans to grow stronger and louder. Her wet breasts and pelt enhances my pleasure meter and I gave a huge orgasm that I've never had for a really long time, inserting my knot and filling her up with my semen. She panted heavily as it was over and looked at me with eyes full of anger and rage as I looked back with lust and pleasure.

'Well, how was that? You truly satisfied me, Rebecca, and I hope you enjoyed it.' I said in a satisfied tone.

'Damn you!' She roared angrily and tried to strike a claw across my face, but her legs were held down firmly by my muscular legs.

Lex was crying as he saw the whole scene of his mate being raped, and he hated himself for not being able to protect her. The flames inside him grew bigger and stronger, creating a surge of adrenaline inside his body. He got onto his feet slowly and me, on the other paw, decided that it was time to end her suffering.

'Have a safe road, Rebecca, and don't worry. I'll make sure you're not alone.' I said in my usual perverted tone and I raised my claws towards the dark clouds, feeling the rain flowing down my paw as I aim for her neck.

'NO!' Lex cried and he stood in silence as I swung it across her throat.

Large volumes of blood splattered on my face and fur as I forced my knot out of her vagina, and I leaped away when I succeeded. I watched as she tried to apply pressure on her wound, but she began to lose consciousness due to the loss of blood and died in the end. The pool of blood forming beneath her was faster than usual as it was mixed with the tears of the dark clouds, and I turned around to find Lex on his feet which surprised me.

'Wow. I'm impressed by your strength, Lex.' I said in an evil tone.

'You will pay for killing her, Lust!' He roared in anger.

'I would like to see you try.'

Ignoring the pain that he was suffering, he made a short but fast run before pouncing at me, swatting any part of my body he can reach with his claws, and he did created a few wounds on my body before I pinned him down to the ground.

'Great thrashing you gave me, but I guess it's time for you to join her, Lex.' I said.

Before he could reply, I slashed his throat open, allowing blood to splat all over my pelt. He kept his wound pressured with one paw while gripping my mane with the other. He pulled my towards his and his words are now gurgled with blood.

'You'll-reg-ret-th-this!'

'Don't worry. I won't.' I replied and watched as he loosen his grip and began to crawl towards Rebecca's lifeless body slowly.

'Reb-be-cca.' He gurgled as he used all his might to get his front legs moving.

Seeing that there was no point for me to stop them, I watched as he lied beside her and closed her eyes with his paw before resting her head on his chest and fell into an eternal sleep with a smile and his eyes closed.

At that moment, I began to laugh unexpectedly, then I realized the reason why.

My plan had worked… I've finally done it! I thought to myself repetitively.

Strangely, I felt tears seeping out of my eyes and was surprised to find myself crying. A sudden question struck my head as the rain continuously poured over me, now booming with thunder.

Could it be Lucas? Is he still alive?

I shook off the thought before re-confirming myself, saying that Lucas was already dead, and his grave is beside Kat at her den. Feeling comfortable about it after a few minutes, I carried Lex's body and moved west into the forest and buried him under a tree that I had marked with a letter 'L' before returning back to the feeding ground. I couldn't felt myself marking the tree, but someone else was doing it. I sat infront of Rebecca's dead body and ended my plan with a long, sad howl…

When Lust ended, Humphrey and Kate who were sitting in the pond looked at each other with a shocked expression before turning towards Rex whose head was facing the ground, crying in pain upon hearing the tragedy of Rebecca and Lex's death. Lust looked upon him with a smirk as he expected Rex's reaction towards this, and he was quite surprised that Rex was shedding his tears for Lex.

'Why are you still crying, Rex? Lex is not your brother. Both of you have different parents and flows dissimilar blood.' He said curiously.

'That's when you're wrong, Lust.' Rex replied bravely which stunned Lust in a powerful way.

Rex looked back at him with watery eyes, but deep inside indicates the true feelings and strength of brotherhood.

'Although we're different by blood and parents, we grew up together and shared the bond of brothers. That proves that he IS my brother.'

Humphrey and Kate were really touched by his words but Lust only felt the annoyance from him. He watched as Rex fell into his fighting stance and growled.

'And I will avenge them, so as every female wolf you've raped.'

'Alright. But I'm not going to die without a fight.' Lust said as he fell into his fighting stance.

Humphrey and Kate watched as they circled around each other and Lust made his first move, pouncing at Rex and aiming for his neck. Fortunately, he dodged it swiftly and gave a hard fist across his face, causing him to stagger to the ground. At that moment, Rex wouldn't take any chances of letting him fight back. He's going to end it now.

He slashed his claws at Lust's penis as it was unguarded, and Lust roared in pain as his sex organ was sliced off, dropping to the ground and blood squirted out of its blood vessels which causes Humphrey's penis to twitch in fear. Kate noticed it and gave him a nudge to comfort him before looking back at Rex who roared angrily.

'THAT'S FOR ALL THE FEMALES YOU'VE RAPED!'

He made a hard punch on one of the main blood vessels in Lust's right hind leg as he collapsed to the ground, paralyzing it permanently and Lust roared in pain as he felt blood couldn't circulate through.

'THAT'S FOR REBECCA!'

He did the same to his hind right leg and Lust let out another roar of pain.

'THAT'S FOR LEX!'

He continued to do the same on his front left leg…

'THAT'S FOR THE FEMALE YOU'VE RAPED IN THIS PACK!'

…so as the front right leg.

'THAT'S FOR ROSE!'

Finally, he aimed his muscular paws at Lust's artery and vein on his neck with his whole body above him.

'AND THIS IS FOR M-' He stopped when he felt a sharp pain pierced into his heart all in a sudden which caused him to roar in pain.

'Me?' Lust said in a sarcastic way.

Rex looked down at his chest and was shocked to find Lust's front right claws in it; he must've missed his force on the point of access. He looked back at his paws where it just touched a bit deep into Lust's artery and vein, but his legs wasn't long enough for him to apply the pressure on the spot.

'REX!' Humphrey and Kate called out in fear as they saw what had happened.

'I see you're trying to paralyze me to death and suffocate me in my own blood, eh? Looks like you failed, Rex.' Lust said and let out an evil laugh.

Rex tried to extend his legs further, but doing so just makes Lust's claws sink deeper into his heart and he roared in pain at every attempt he made.

'So, what are you going to do now, Rex? Keep making attempts in blocking my blood vessels?'

He made another evil laugh, but he stopped and looked puzzled, so as Humphrey and Kate, when Rex laughed along with him.

'Why would I even try to block your blood vessel when I can just rip it open?' He said with a weak smirk and Lust's eyes widened as he felt Rex's claws sinking into his artery and vein slowly.

'Wha-'

'Go to hell, Lust.'

'NOOOOO!' and Rex stroked his claws out like a butterfly.

Blood gusted out of Lust's throat like an erupted volcano, splatting all over Rex's face and pelt. Rex felt the claws inside his chest pulled out and he tumbled away from him, laying on the ground with his eyes fixed on Lust. Lust applied pressure on his two open wounds with both paws, but the blood pressure was greater than his strength and in the end, his paws dropped to the ground lifelessly and he died with his eyes and mouth wide opened. Humphrey and Kate immediately ran towards Rex who was losing consciousness as he was losing blood. Kate immediately applied pressure on his chest to prevent more blood from flowing out and Humphrey howled for the pack's assistance.

'Come on, Rex. Stay with me. You'll get through this.' Kate cried as she looked at him with tears dripping from her cheeks onto his bloodstained pelt.

Rex gently placed his paw on hers and expressed a weak smile.

'I won't… live much longer, Kate.' He said.

'But… who's gonna cure me if you're gone?'

'I've taught… Eve everything I know about this drug; that's why I've been… to Winston and Eve's den first before doing anything else. So don't worry, you'll… be fine.'

Kate cried as she was her savior dying infront of her which hurts Humphrey deeply in his heart. If only he didn't argue with Kate and made her ran away, this wouldn't happened. Noticing the guilt that Humphrey was feeling, Rex placed another paw on his and still wore a weak smile.

'Don't… blame yourself, Humphrey. As long as… you're back to normal, everything's… good to me.'

Humphrey smiled at his forgiveness and grip hold of Rex's paw tightly.

'Thank you for forgiving me, Rex.'

Rex smiled back and he growled as the endorphins inside his body began to wear off and the pain starts to kick in. Knowing that he was running out of time, Rex looked at the two wolves with hope in his eyes.

'Humphrey… Kate… I need you to… do something… for me.'

Kate and Humphrey looked back at him with a depressed expression, wondering what he has to say.

'Help is on it-' Kate stopped when Rex stepped in.

'Please, I don't… have much time… left.'

Another pain kicked in which made Rex growled. Kate and Humphrey edged their ears closer to him to hear his last wishes; some were easy to be done and some were, well, surprising. Humphrey and Kate looked back at him in shock when he ended.

'We can do the first and the mid requests, but the last…' Humphrey said, unsure about the last request that Rex had told them. 'Is it necessary?'

'Yes… Please… Just do it for me… as my death wishes. Promise me…'

Kate and Humphrey looked at each other with the same unsure expression before looking back at Rex with a weak smile.

'We promise.' Kate said.

Rex let out a breath of relief and he began to raise Humphrey and Kate's paw and placed them together, holding them firmly in between his paws which Kate and Humphrey kept it held when he let go.

'You two are the… perfect couple, and know that… no matter what happens, you two… will always be together. I have… faith in you two.'

Tears streamed down their eyes upon hearing Rex's beautiful words and he looked at them with a smile.

'Look after… her well, okay Humphrey? And… it goes the same to Garth in looking… after Lilly.'

'Yes sir.' Humphrey cried.

'I'll be… watching you guys from… above. I can't be… delayed now… Rose's waiting… for me in our… dream world… Goodbye…'

They watched as Rex closed his eyes and rested his head gently on the ground and fell into an eternal sleep with a smile on his face. Tears began to overflow from Kate's eyes and she rested her head on Humphrey's chest, sharing a warm embrace with him as they looked upon their savior who died like a warrior.

A few minutes later, the pack came running out of the woods, along with Garth who was trying to move as fast as he can and under Lilly's assist. They stopped and Tony, Eve, Winston, Lilly and Garth walked towards Rex's lifeless body and was shocked to find him dead.

'No…' Lilly said in shock and began to cry.

She leaned her head on Garth's chest that was covered by herbs gently, trying to not to injure his broken ribs any further. Garth gave her a warm embrace and looked upon the dead warrior.

'I can't believe this. Rex…' He said in shock.

'What happened here?' Winston stated as he looked from Rex to Kate and Humphrey who were crying in pain.

'He… he died trying to protect us.' Kate sobbed.

Tony noticed another dead body close to them and examined it.

'So, this is the rapist that we're after.' He said and it caught their attention.

'Well, I'm glad that he's dead now.' Eve said in a pleasant tone.

'Dad…' Kate said as she wiped her tears.

'What is it, sweetheart?' Winston replied in a worried tone.

'Can I ask for the pack's help in gathering some stuff?'

'Why?'

'It's because we're heading out to the Northern pack.'
