The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[SICARIO]

"As my alpha was saying, alpha Rukiya. The Luna is here, they are all here. Now if you would be so kind as to shut up and let everything proceed as planned, we will not waste your time," Elodie suddenly said and everyone let out gasps.

Of course, Adolf was ready to snap necks, but Rukiya knew what this was and she loved it. She knew this was her chance to redeem Elodie and make sure that Jer reinstated and trusted her.

They needed Elodie on the inside if they were going to dismantle the leadership of Sicario.

Elodie being vocal at this point was to make sure that everyone heard her as one of the key warriors in Sicario. That would remind them that there was indeed someone who would be on the side of the luna, in case things went wrong.

They all knew how essential that was, especially for a Luna that came from a pack so weak, like Clarkson.

"You have been waiting with us, Warrior Kane. You have done a better job than your alpha has. I hope he sees that and gives you a potion. Perhaps the beta position now that his beta is dead," Rukiya said and Malika let out a gasp. What the fuck was this turning into?

Of the people she had expected to stand up for her, Elodie Kane hadn't been one of them. Sure, there was an understanding between them and with what had happened outside earlier, but in front of these people?

That was wild, even for Elodie. And for the first time, Malika was worried for the warrior. She knew how dangerous it was to challenge Rukiya Greyson on any level. Rukiya may have been nicer to Malika, but Malika knew so well that it was because of Hawi.

Without Hawi, Rukiya would have not even looked in their direction. Hell, she wouldn't even have brought an army and put them a little too close to the Sicario pack, just in case they needed reinforcements.

Going against Rukiya publicly like this, was something that would raise questions, and Malika knew that Rukiya's wolf would probably feel challenged. It wasn't the intended purpose, but they needed to fix things.

And perhaps that was also why Malika figured she would step up and change things. Because at least she could be able to fight Rukiya Greyson and win. Elodie wouldn't and that was a risk Malika wasn't willing to take, not with the woman she was slowly falling in love with.

"SILENCE!!!!" Malika bellowed right before Jer could say a word. He was definitely going to try and threaten the warrior or he would try to turn the situation in their favor but frankly, Malika was done with the circus that was staring at her.

She had gotten tired of the banters and was losing her mind sniffing Hawi on everyone. She hated what she was feeling and the fact that everyone here was thinking that this was some get-together was driving her nuts.

She needed to find Hawi, instead of being here, getting paraded like some trophy that didn't mean shit to her. If they didn't shut up, then she would make them, which was what Malika was already thinking of.

She was pissed and done with them.

"No one asked you to come, Alpha Rukiya. You came because of the treaty. You could have sent a warrior or a representative. As for you, warrior Kane. It is good to defend me and the alpha, but some people are just not worth the time.

"Learn when to shut up," Malika said angrily and Jer stared with a wide jaw. He had never expected this. He had always seen his mate as someone who was kind and soft. No one had prepared him or even the Sicario visitors for what they were seeing.

Then again, a frustrated protector with no idea what was happening to her mistress was one who wanted blood. If they weren't careful, Malika would unleash her fury on them and they wouldn't even have anywhere to run to.

Elodie was staring at the woman who had spoken and it took every ounce of self-control for her not to jump Malika. Sure, she was aware that Malika was agitated because of her inability to communicate with Hawi, but her voice had been an absolute turn-on.

The warrior made a mental note to piss off the woman she liked a little more, because then it would lead them into some skinship. But was that really something that Elodie was to think of at the moment?

Well, that was a nonissue as Elodie herself found herself staring at Malika in awe, instead of staring at her with a grim face like she had been doing earlier.

Then again, some things were never going to be easy to explain, and Elodie would find it easier to sleep with Malika than understand what the hell was happening at the moment. One thing she was certain of though, was that an angry Malika was hot as fuck.

"Anyone who feels uncomfortable being here to mourn the Sicario beta, I believe our gates are open. You can make your exit peacefully, without turning a funeral wake into a bantering session.

"One more banter and I swear to the goddess, I will rip off your treaties with my bare hands. Try me," Malika added with a smirk, as she watched the silent room.

No one said a word.

"Baby, are you okay?" Jer asked when he noticed Malika falter just after her dare. It was strange, but then he couldn't wrap his head around what was happening anyway.

Malika had put her head between her hands like she meant to show that she wasn't feeling well, so Jer helped her take a seat, while he called Elodie to check on her. It was quite a turn of events, but everyone here could tell that Elodie Kane was the new Sicario beta.

It was clear as day.

"Yeah, I'll be fine," Malika responded meekly as Elodie held her hand, before they all looked at Rukiya with knowing faces. The game was on, and hells be damned, they would do what they had come to do in Sicario. MVLeMpYr-unofficial-chapter

And so, for the next three hours, they spent talking about Dom and reminiscing the beautiful memories they had with the man. They didn't talk of him as Hawi's brother or even the alpha's son. But as the man who had helped Sicario be what it was today.

There was grief and sadness by the time the wake was over, but at least they had let the anger out of their chests.

"Thank you all for coming. You may leave and today will never be forgotten," Jer said though Rukiya could tell that that was a statement meant for her.

Then again, Rukiya Greyson was a woman with nothing to lose. She had a powerful army, and an army that made many cower.

Rukiya had the greatest of alliances with almost every pack in the realm and she wouldn't be affected in the slightest way if Sicario decided to withdraw.

She wasn't even worried about that. And the fact that she was allied to the white wolf and her killing machine of a crazy protector, summed it all up.

Greyson was untouchable regardless.

"Jer, I didn't mean to hurt her... If you give me the beta position, I can swear on my life to never leave her side and be Luna Malika's protector…" Elodie said to Jer.
