Don't Poke the Luna (Xena and Ryder)

Chapter 280

Xena's POV

The bumping woke me up, my eyes struggling to open as the helicopter descended. Through the window, I could see some guards, but mostly pack numbers No one looked afraid, but everyone was extremely tense. What shocked me most was that all the women were dressed in rags, covered in filth. Only the men were clean,

Viola's words echoed in my mind: Women only

have one purpose.

Seeing this scene, the anger inside me burned again. This oppression and humiliation of women made me want to tear this entire damn system to shreds. My right hand clenched tight, feeling my nails dig into my palm, helping me stay alert and focused.

The helicopter landed steadily, and Logan opened the door and stepped out. He him. "Go get Tansy and bring her to me."

Ryder and Jericho helped me down from the helicopter.

'I don't take orders from you, the guard said, taking a confrontational stance.

Seeing this guard's arrogant attitude, I felt my blood boiling in my veins. These men were used to oppressing women - now it was time for them to taste being oppressed themselves.

With Ryder's support, I slowly walked to the guard. I stared at him with ice-cold eyes. "What about me? I tore Tatum's heart out with my bare hands. Should we force you to comply, or will you obediently go to the cells and bring Tansy here?"

He narrowed his eyes as I spoke, his face showing no fear, only contempt. All the women cowered in terror.

Seeing these women cringe made my heart

to live in fear, shouldn't be treated as second-class citizens because of their gender. I was going to change all of this.

I gently patted Ryder's hand, signaling that he didn't need to support me. He

slowly released his grip, and I dragged my sick body slowly toward the guard. His brow furrowed, looking very confused. I began releasing my dominance, Una roaring in my mind, my eyes starting to turn black, my fangs beginning to

extend.

His eyes slowly widened as he began to realize something was wrong. He couldn't possibly understand how a seemingly sickly woman could release such intense dominance. I slowly raised my right hand and used all my strength to punch him in the stomach. He collapsed in pain, screaming in agony.

The watching women were shocked by this scene, gasping in disbelief.

"Could you please ask Tansy to come out of her cell?" I asked one of the shocked women standing around,

"Y-yes, ma'am," she nodded respectfully, not daring to look at me, keeping her head down.

Watching this woman's humble posture, a wave of sadness rose in my chest. Soon, I swore, soon these women wouldn't have to live like this anymore. I would ensure they got the dignity and freedom they deserved.
