Novel & Cerita Even Heroes Have The Right To Bleed

“Before you do something you can’t undo.” The line rippled with confusion. They hadn’t expected me to speak. They’d expected a prisoner. A symbol. Not… this. “Alaric tells you I’m proof the Lycans can bleed,” I said, voice carrying across the valley. “He’s right. They can. So can you. So can I. The question is—who do we bleed for?” A murmur. Someone hissed, “Traitor!” “Maybe,” I said. “But at least I choose who I fight beside.”

And I smiled. Because behind him, Nestore had recovered. And Nevio had vanished. Hale saw it too late. Nevio's blade drove forward from his blind side. Hale twisted — steel plunged into his flank instead of spine. First real damage. Hale's breath finally broke. A sound — small, human, involuntary. He turned toward Nevio. And I drove forward with everything I had left, shoulder slamming into the embedded blade, punching it deeper. Hale gasped. The moment he learned he could bleed.

"Sparta came under attack today. Five terrorists, steeped in hatred and driven by ignorance attempted to destroy our school, and kill our students and staff. But what these cowards did not count on was the courage and determination of us Spartans. "I stand before you now, covered in blood. This is the blood of heroes," stated Gwen emphatically as she pointed to her herself. "I proudly wear the blood of Spartan heroes. This blood was shed in defense of life, shed by Spartans shielding, protecting, and fighting for others. Jared White personally pulled me out of harm's way and held me with his back to the shooters, taking bullets intended for me. The shooter called me 'The Whore in Red' as he

"No... we can't lose them!" Kael's voice trembled as he called upon his arcane powers. "Hold on! We can heal you, we can..." But the sacrifice had been made, the deed irreversible. The hero's body fell to the ground, their life force fading away. As the battle raged on, the heroes fought not only for victory but in honor of their fallen comrade.

They only fought to defend themselves, and their closest allies. Our current Alpha, Alpha Lennox, was strong, though not nearly as strong as Zeron was, just, and kind. He had three sons and one daughter. Jax, Pat, Sal, and Haven. Jax was 17, just like I was, Pat was almost 16, Haven was 12, and Sal was 5.

“You..” “I win,” I say. Loud. So everyone hears. “Old law. First blood. They’re free.” Silence. Then Eda drops to her knees. The chain goes slack. “Galen?” she whispers. “He’s here,” I say. “Just past the wall.” Raze looks at the blood. At his warriors. At Kael and Alaric, both with hands on their weapons. “You cheated,” he hisses. “I healed,” I correct. “Now honor the law. Or we take them anyway, and burn this place to the ground.”

All I wanted to do was put the motherfucker in the ground. My theatrics did nothing to save JR. Led was pumped into her from all angles long before I touched her. All I ended up saddled with was a meat suit bleeding out all over me. "Ill Padrino? Are you okay?" "Ill Padrino!" "Padré, no," Josie shrieked in agony. The outcries of mourners that weren't my people made my heart still with relief. Never had I felt so proud of being Ghostblade. This was the kill I would go down in history for. The kill that would save lives. Something to be proud of, not feel shame about.

"Oh. I was talking to a corpse all this time." Clyde shrugged it off and stepped over his dead body, aiming his shotgun at another approaching raider. Before he could recognize whose corpse he just walked over, he already planted a hole in his chest. Bloodshed wasn't new to Clyde. He'd witnessed it too often and even did it himself multiple times. He believes that this world does not deserve his pity for those who have sinned. He shows no mercy or even humanity—who even said he had that? He's not even human. Benevolence rarely makes it past his violent walls.
