The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[JER]

"Wait, Jer. where is Malika?" Elodie asked as she used her werewolf speed to stop in front of Jr who had dismissed her rudely. She didn't mind that, but then she hadn't seen Malika for the entire days, which was weird because the previous day, she had left Jer and Malika in the same room.

She was curious to know what had happened to the woman and if the bangs she had heard were because Malika was getting hit by Jer or Jer was getting the beating of a lifetime for his Luna who was supposed to be weak.

It was quite hilarious to Elodie but she couldn't think of that at the moment, what mattered was that she hadn't heard Her call her to take care of Malika again. Granted she wasn't a babysitter, but that didn't matter because no matter what happened, he would never win this battle with Malika.

"Safe. What is it to you?" Jer asked before realizing how rude that sounded. He was really being an ass this early in the morning and Elodie was not in the mood to deal with that. She had enough shit to worry about and mindless warriors to think of.

"Oh yeah? Well, don't call me again when you don't know what you need to do. Or maybe you swayed her with your magic too for her to be brainless like everyone else? Wow, Jeremiah, you really must be the ultimate mate of the year.

"Perhaps we should open a special award for you and your selfishness even with your mate. You are heartless," Elodie said as she looked at her Alpha.

She knew this wasn't right, but then as far as Jer was concerned, Elodie was just worried about Luna because she had spent a lot of time with the woman. It was not as bad, really and it was something that made them want to make things right.

"I'm sorry, okay. I didn't mean to be rude, Kane," Jer began as he frustratedly ran his hands through his hair.

He was losing his mind with the pressure that Russel was putting on him, and honestly, he wasn't sure how long he could hold out before his body gave up on him. As it was, he was slowly losing his mind because of the demands that were proving impossible to him.

Maybe if he hadn't accepted to kill Luna Eniola, all of this could have been avoided and there would be better ways. But then knowing Russel, there would always be someone to take his place in the role and that person would have been powerful.

Oh, how his greed for power had driven him into a pack with dead bodies on a daily. It was not a good legacy for him, but did he even have a legacy this time?

"You do you, Jer. I'll see you at the council meeting, unless you don't want my input, seeing as everyone in the pack except me has already been brainwashed by magic to follow whatever you are to say to them," Elodie said as she raised a brown dare to leave her out.

She was the Sicario lead warrior and the pack beta.

She knew the dynamics of war more than anyone because she had fought alongside Hawi one too many times and they had won wars. That should have been an advantage to them, but there was no way it would work because Jer was quick to attack and not think.

He was acting like he was possessed by a demon who only wanted one thing in particular. Rukiya Greyson's death.

"You should come, Kane. You're my beta, and I apologize for what happened," Jer said and Elodie sighed before she walked in the opposite direction.

She wasn't in the mood to join the damn council meeting. She had just been hoping that the council members weren't brainwashed too but as it was, they also were. There was nothing that Elodie could do for the council members.

So she walked away in the hope that she could run into Malika being a menace somewhere. She had been hoping to see her somewhat, nowhere but she hadn't and she was worried for her.

"Fuck it, Malika, where the fuck are you?" Elodie whispered defeatedly. She couldn't think of where the woman was, because she had checked all the chambers on the entire pack house and there was no sign of their Luna.

It was almost like she had vanished and that was wanting. It made her question what Jeremiah was determined to do, to the point that he was making sure his Luna was very safe.

Of course, Elodie considered Hawi's suite, but even she knew that no one had managed to get through the security protocols set up by Hawi there. It was insane and over time they had chosen to leave the suite because there was really no point trying.

"If he used magic on you I'll kill him. Please, baby, let me know where you are," Elodie whispered frustratedly again. She wasn't sure what she was hoping for, but then was it so hopeful of her to imagine that Malika would never be hurt by anyone's magic.

When the same woman had had her womb snatched out? It was a strange time they were living in, but none stranger than the stench of immense cruelty that filled the Sicario air.

Elodie could only hope because that was all she could afford of a protector who was meant to be one of the most powerful creatures in the realm.

"That's actually sweet, if you think of it," Malika's voice interrupted Elodie and it took everything in Kane not to jump the woman. She still wasn't sure if Malika was invisible to everyone; she was visible to everyone.

She wouldn't be seen jumping on her Luna that excitedly especially after the chaotic ordeal. So she figured she could go behind the pack house while Malika followed her. Maybe that would give her a chance given there were no cameras outback.

"Now, now, love. This is tempting. Don't tell me you want to knock me up this soon," Malika teased and Elodie glared at her, before she grabbed Malika by the neck and smashed their lips together.

Kane was really hungry for Malika because the kiss was intense, it was a battle of lips against lips, tongues against torqued. It was almost like the warriors were scared she would never see the woman again.

Malika could feel the desperation her little mate was having so she calmed her down using her magic, and slowly took away Kane's worries. As much as she loved having the woman worry for her, this was a different kind.

"I thought you left for good," Elodie said when they pulled back and she was staring into the dark eyes that were filled with lust.

However today was no day for them to be breeding, so Malika just pulled her into a warm hug, reassuring her that there was nothing that would happen to the both of them. But she also knew Elodie needed to hear it from her lips. And be reassured.

"I was in my mistress's suite. That's where your Alpha kept me. I hear it's the safest room in the pack house. Don't worry too much love, I am not going anywhere and if my mission is done, I will take you with me, of course, if you want me to," Malika said, correcting herself before she sounded like a barbaric possessive woman.

"Of course, sweetheart, I do," Elodie said and while Malika wasn't sure what that answered, she was glad her mate was alright.
