The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[HAWI]

"I called us all here because Sicario is coming for us here, and Luna Razia needs to go home," Mbali said, her voice so cold that Hawi snorted at how cruel Mbali sounded.

It was almost like she didn't want to see the women in the same space as them and while Rukiya didn't take offense, she knew something had to be going on. Now that she thought about it, Hawi was going to bed last night when the winds got her turning to her mother.

And then Hawi lost control. Something was happening and it had to do with Luna Razia.

Oh, Rukiya.

"Sicario coming for us? That's got to be some sick joke," Hawi added immediately as if that was meant to explain the snort.

Everyone else seemed to buy it, but Rukiya wasn't, she had noticed how tense her mother had become when Mbali spoke and it was new, especially for a woman who was smeared to be loved by many.

What was her other hiding and what was it that had gotten her mate so riled up to the point of keeping Mbali next to Rukiya for the entire night, until that stupid spar? The Greyson alpha was curious and she wouldn't stop looking.

However, here and now, she would be the Alpha these people needed her to be.

"Well, that's all the more reason for mother to go home. You need to leave, mother. Tow patrol warriors will take you home and please don't leave Greyson until you see us come home when the war is ended alright?" Rukiya said, her voice stern as she talked to her mother.

It was not the usual way she always did and Hawi noticed that, whoever she didn't say anything, even though she had a feeling that her mate was being suspicious of them. It meant good for Ruru, but what if the woman found out the truth about her mother, would Hawi still hide it from her?

"Alright. I guess it's goodbye then," Luna Razia said before kissing her daughter goodbye and leaving. Mbali got up to make sure that Luna was leaving.

Before she came back to the tent and they continued with their talks on the strategies for the night. There wasn't much, given they were already prepared for any ambushes or random attacks. It wasn't new to them and frankly, nothing could surprise them anymore.

"Awuor Hawi Sicario!!! Get out and face me!!" Jer shouted once he and his team made it to the camp.

He could see the fires were burning but there was no one there. It was almost like they long disappeared and they had been tricked. But then Luna Razia had confirmed that they were there barely hours ago so they couldn't be wrong about this.

They hadn't worked their asses off to come to an empty camp.

"Mistress, should I shut him up with a ghost smack to the face?" Malika asked as she looked at Jer.

Now that Jer was certain his Malika was sleeping in Hawi's suite, it was easier for her to come and be there for her mistress without worrying about her remission being compromised. It wasn't that hard, and Elodie was also on board with them.

"No, Malika. We are being nice today. We will just go there and kill him and make this a done case, right, Mistress?" Mbali asked like she didn't know what the rules were.

Jeremiah Sicario was to remain untouched until everything came down. He was to watch everything he loved be taken from him. He was to be there at every turn of every misfortune that befell his people, until he lost his mind.

Well, Mbali was right to be excited because this Alpha was just making their lies a little too boring with the chaos. Perhaps they could shut him up for good.

"Let's wait and see what they do. Everyone is in position, yeah?" Hawi asked and all the leaders confirmed the positioning of their teams. They were one but they needed to understand if there was a team that had issues.

It was then that they would try and figure out a way out of there, but then with Jer and his warriors here, it wasn't as surprising. How this just served to remind Hawi to never take the Luna Razia lightly.

A woman who wanted her daughter dead had to be unhinged in a different way, because there was just no way that this shit was happening.

"I know you're there with us! I know you're scared, but maybe if you come forward, I will let you live with your lives. And be sure to remind Jabali that my wife isn't here for her to pop another uterus…

"Do remind her that I won't forgive her sins," Jer said with pride and that was the last straw for Mbali, because she stepped out from where they were hiding, and the warriors followed suit.

"How about you tell her yourself?" Mbali asked as she threw her sword at her, but this time Jer missed.

Of course, he did. If anything, he had the help of Razia Greyson. The woman had made him feel like he was invincible but they seemed to be forgetting the new reality that had long been there.

The poison Hawi had made Jer breathe from the tunnels, and the poison that Mbali jihad made potent. It would kill Jer slowly without even him knowing.

Granted, Razia's magic was protecting the Alpha for now, but the poison had been there before Razia Greyson's spells and that in itself was the reminder that no one needed to mess with the Hawi crew because they were the same type of unhinged.

"Kill them all!!!" Mbali shouted and the warriors rushed to the Sicario warriors who seemed to be a little too many.

Then again, that was a nonissue because Hawi had expected Her to reach out to their allies for this war. It only made the deaths more satisfying. All of this was going according to Hawi's plan and boy was she loving it.

Mbali was fighting Jer while Hawi and the other warriors were fighting the rest of the team. Malika was with Elodie, though it seemed like they were sparring instead of fighting. And even if they fought their hearts were one so there wasn't an issue there right?

"Burn them all!!!" Malika cheered as she cast a bomb spell and the damn thing towards the unexpecting warriors, they looked shocked that it was good because none of them had expected that the bombs would be real.

Well, Malika Warner may not have been real, but Malika the protector was as real as the bombs that she was throwing there. And so, for the rest of the evening, the warriors fought, with Her trying to leave and find Rukiya, but he failed.

He was trying his best which was understandable but then he was fighting against Hawi's killing machine. There was just no way that he would get to Rukiya.

"Now!!!" Jer shouted and suddenly there was a movement in the crowd, one that seemed to be charged at one person and one person only. Rukiya Greyson. Before Hawi could say anything, her mate was on the ground, with a magical blade lodged in her heart.

"Noo!!" Hawi screamed as she let the universe take over her rage and she rushed to her dear mate.

Rukiya Greyson was dying.

And Theo had been the one with the blade.
