Chapter 429 The Frustrated Alpha
[SICARIO]
"I understand you, Elodie, I really do. But sweetheart, prison is a better place than what you are putting me through right now. Take me to the dungeons, it's a better place than all of this," Drew sighed.
He had been trying to hold on to his reality, but then it was getting a little hard with the way things were. He understood her, but this was just too much for him. He couldn't do this anymore, not like this.
"I know," Elodie sighed as she got up and walked over to the window. Her heart was already shattered and she was trying to make it all make sense. Her mind was wandering and she had questions about how her friends were doing.
She wondered if they were okay or if they were suffering because then that would mean that Mabli had really died. Elodie had so many worries and it was eating her up in ways that she had never thought possible.
How was she supposed to deal with this part of her reality, when life itself had become a thrill that she didn't feel like taking part in? She wondered if there was ever going to be a way out for her with this.
There were so many things that could take place to align the way and if she was being honest, all of this wasn't making any sense for her. Maybe she needed time, but how much longer before reality dawned on her and it was the ugliest of them all?
How long before life decided to look at her in the face and made her feel like the worst person in the world for making Drew give her explanations that were insanely long? She didn't have options and at the same time, she had options.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
But right now, maybe letting Drew go was the easiest way out for her, right? Did she want an easy way out though?
"I'm sorry, Drew. Excuse me," Elodie said, giving up her quest for answers.
She had done so desperately to find inconsistencies in Drew's statements, but there were none. It was like the world had become a circus for the both of them and she was on the losing side.
It wasn't fair in one too many ways, but what else could she do with this? What was the assurance that this would make sense to her? How was she supposed to even hold on to the chaos that had long taken place?
Or was there something she had missed?
"What?" Drew asked, the confusion clear on his face. He had tried to be nicer and express himself but now she was feeling guilty for wanting the torture to stop. Perhaps it was insane, how things had gotten, but what else could he do?
How else was he supposed to make Elodie understand that what he had revolted against was simply because he wanted her to have an easy way out and wanted her to embrace the reality that was staring at her and one that she refused to acknowledge?
How was that supposed to make her feel any better about the mess she had created? Was it her fault?
"You're free to go. I'm sorry about all of this; for questioning you a little too intensely than demanded by the Sicario law books. It wasn't fair to you in so many ways, and I understand if your hatred for me just keeps growing.
"I wouldn't blame you for it, really, and thank you for your time," Elodie said and Drew watched in silence as the defeated alpha walked out the door. He knew it wasn't going to be the easiest for the both of them, but what else was there?
However, he knew better and he wasn't taking it to heart. This was Elodie's way of coping with the chaos that had taken over her life and he hoped that she would find whatever it was that she was looking for in that moment.
There had to be a way out for them.
"You will be okay, Elodie… Everything would be fine," Drew said as he followed Eldie outside the operations building.
He didn't know what he was supposed to do, but he was sure that the both of them needed to make it out at the same time because their teams were still on different rides and they needed to understand that love was something they could believe in this time.
"What is happening here?" Elodie asked as she looked at Hudhayfah who was currently seated between the Sicario warriors and the sailors. They were quiet, but then Hudhayfah looked like he had the roughest of days with the set of warriors.
He looked like there were better places for him to be at than here with these people. They had to be insane with the way they had dealt with him. There was just no other explanation for this mess.
"Honestly? I am thankful that I don't have my mate yet because I am determined to be child-free for as long as I possibly can. There is just no way that I am getting myself into a craziness like this," Hudhayfah said dramatically.
Elodie snickered as she looked at the frustrated healer. She wasn't sure what she had been expecting, but this was way better than it. She had imagined that things would be a little less sane, but this was epic, way too epic and she loved it.
Drew on the other hand, looked like he was fighting back his laugh. They all looked ridiculous there with Hudhayfah and it was like the man had started a school for the kids he heard and forced them to be right there with them.
It didn't make any sense whatsoever but it seemed like fun nonetheless. Surely Hudhayfah wasn't opposed to making happy memories, right?
"Did you reach a conclusion or did I suffer for no reason with these kids?" Hudhayfah asked Drew and Elodie before adding with a slight warning, "Because I might turn them into goats for the entire week."
At that, the sailors let out grumbles. They knew it was impossible for anything of the sort to happen because it wasn't realistic in any universe. No one in their right mind had that much power to waste around, right?
The Cicero warriors, on the other hand, were silent. They had seen enough crazies in the damn pack to know that there really was a high chance that Hudhayfah Karim could turn them into goats. It was nothing out of the ordinary but damn if it was the truth, yeah?
"He can't do that, right?" Rio asked horrified and Elde laughed lightly. Explore more at empire
"Unfortunately for you, Hudhayfah is a literal guy, and if he says things he would truly do it. He could turn out into goats," Elodie said and the sailors looked at the healer, the relaxation dawning on them that they could tell it was in trouble. So, they shut up instantly.
"Goodnight all of you. I will take a rest for now," Elodie added before they could say anything more. She was tired of everything that happened during the day really bad she hoped that it would all be better
"Alright, good night too," Hudhayfah said and Elodie walked away. She didn't have the energy to stay and bicker with the whaler or even the warriors who were celery worried for her.
"We need to talk, Drew," Hudhayfah said.
