The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[HAWI]

"It's time to party!!!!" Hawi shouted when she and Ruru reached the camp. They looked so tired and spent, but they had happy smiles on their faces.

Their warriors looked like they were already used to the madness of these two women, so they just stared as if they were waiting to see some crazy shit dropped on them. They were slowly learning the madness that was Hawi and Ruru.

Perhaps it was for the best, no?

"Who did you guys kill?" Mbali asked as she looked at the duo skeptically.

At the moment, Hawi had cast an invisible spell on their catch of the day, so everyone who saw them was already thinking they had lost their minds and perhaps they really had this time.

"Not who, but what!! Look we brought us food, everyone can have a bite… or it can be a gamble, first come first serve," Hawi said and Rukiya facepalmed.

There were seventeen thousand warriors in this camp and they had the tiniest catch ever known to any hunter and she was already pitting their people against each other for deer? Damn.

"Don't listen to her, everyone please go on with what you are doing. If you listen to her, you might lose your hair in the process," Rukiya said before she covered Hawi's mouth with her hand while dragging the woman to their end.

Of course, after leaving Adolf with their catch of the day. Perhaps this was the best decision, right?

"I was being nice—" Hawi tried to argue when they got to the tent and Rukiya wasn't about to listen.

"Get in there and take a shower baby. You reek," Rukiya said and Hawi outed at her like she didn't want to, at the same time, she needed to.

"Come join me, it will be more fun if there's two of us," Hawi suggested.

Rukiya straight-up snorted at the idea. It may have been a good idea, but it was a ludicrous one. There was just no way that the two of them would be sensible if they showered together.

Even if they did that they would take a long time, not to mention there's a chance that they would do the unexpected and then they wouldn't be ready for the next round of battle. It was a long gamble, yet Hawi was ready to take it on.

"Yeah, yeah. Get in there woman and clean up," Rukiya said as she pushed her mate into the showers, ignoring the sparks that had lit them up. Perhaps this was just the beginning for them, right?

"My mom is coming to see how we are doing, given the camp is near Greyson, I hope that won't be a problem," Rukiya said to Hawi who was more than elated. She loved Luna Razia and if the woman was coming then she needed to be at her best.

"Nope. Besides, it's not like she'll want to not kill me when she realizes she wants to kill you, right? Easy life there. Fuck I should clean up already," Hawi said ad Rukiya laughed at her mate.

The woman had always known what she wanted and yet Luna Razia scared her. Then again, there wasn't a soul that wasn't scared of their mother-in-law coming to them for putting their child in danger, right?

"Easy for you to say. She might even slaughter me. Your mom is scary, you know that," Hawi argued and Rukiya just laughed heartily again. She knew her mother loved Hawi and Hawi being worried was just her overthinking.

"Well then, you might want to clean up well, because we haven't seen her in three months Hawi, who knows what she will do to the both of us," Rukiya teased.

That was the final straw for Hawi, because she grabbed her mate and pulled her into the showers. If they were going down, then they would go down together. After all, it was what mates did, right?

That evening, Hawi and Rukiya joined their army at dinner. They may have been sold for the day, but Hawi knew that the warriors needed to see them together. They needed to have a moment and share at least an evening with them.

To many, that would seem insignificant, but then it was what their world needed. They needed to have a united front, one that could help motivate the warriors especially now that they had lost their friends.

Hawi and Rukiya were yet to visit the graves and they would do that later, but tonight, they would eat and make merry with their team. Maybe then they would be each other's shoulders, right?

"I smelled deer," Luna Razia suddenly said in her voice, making everyone get up and bow to her. She was respected in Greyson so seeing her here was something that the warriors cherished. This to them was a sign that they were disposable.

"Mom! You came… I didn't know you liked the stench of war," Rukiya said as if she was trying to tell her mom to go back and not come back. Then again, Razia had once been the pack Luna and she knew just how hard a battle could hit the warriors after a battle.

"I am not going away, Rukiya. Sit your ass done and pass the barrier, someone!!!" the Luna said and the warriors cheered on, loving the partying spirit of their Luna. They loved her no doubt, so seeing her here with them was motivating.

"Alright, pass the beer!!" Rukiya laughed as they made merry into the night. For hours the lot of them enjoyed the night, dancing, singing war songs, telling tales, thinking of all the good things they had back home.

It was a memorable moment for them and they loved being here. They wren't alone, but the fact that they were together was making them feel like others. This was the greatest war of all time, then again, wasn't it just that?

"I'm sleepy. I'll go to bed first," Hawi said, excusing herself. She was glad that everyone was happy but her eyes were already shutting down. She needed to rest otherwise she would be useless to them.

"Do you want me to come with you?" Rukiya asked, genuinely worried for Hawi, but she stopped her. It was pointless anyway, given that the Luna was still here and Rukiya would definitely end up being there for her mother.

"Nope. I'll be fine Just make sure you control the number of beers that the Luna has, because we don't want Greyson coming after us for making their Luna drink silly, baby," Hawi said and Rukiya rolled her eyes at Hawi.

She understood Hawi, so she just let her mate go.

"Goodnight sweetheart," Rukiya said as she kissed Hawi on the lips, something that Hawi reciprocated and Luna Razia let out a prolonged cough, one that got the people laughing at the two mates.

At last, someone was telling two inseparable mates off this time, yeah?

"Take care of my mate, Mbali. A scratch on her hair and I will kill all of you," Hawi said and she meant it. However, Mbali just smiled shyly at her and watched her leave.

On her way to their tent, there was a slight wind, and Hawi whined, as she turned her head so she could avoid it, but in the process, she saw something she never thought she could see.

A beautiful scorpion tattoo.

It was covering a scar.

And it was on Luna Razia Greyson.
