The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[AWUOR]

"Please… please beat me up a little more," Hawi pleaded as she looked at the worried warriors who weren't sure they could give in to what Hawi wanted anymore.

The woman looked like she loved getting the pain, but then was that enough a reason for her to let herself be beaten shitless like she didn't just rule the strongest pack in the whole realm and lead them to war more times; and win each time?

"I'd run, if I were you, all of you," an awfully familiar voice said, making the warriors turn to look at the source.

It was unexpected, especially here at the training grounds, but the warning was so clear in that voice that the warriors were sure they wouldn't want to stay if they wanted their lives.

"Or do you want to test how powerful me and my army that is a few clicks away from here, are?" the voice asked again and the warriors, including Lihle, ran off.

They were injured and slow, but they knew they had to leave that place as soon as possible because the woman who had just walked in was the very definition of hell, and the mother of 'fuck around and find out'.

She was dangerous and could easily bring them down, because this very woman knew all the secrets of the Clarksons, and for that very reason, they were sure she knew what their weaknesses were as a pack.

It wasn't that hard to tell, but damn, the disappointment in the woman's face as she looked at Hawi's broken self on the ground, made the skies want to open and cry for Hawi.

"I leave for a week and this is what you do, huh?"

"If you aren't here to beat me up, leave me alone. You always spoil my fun, Rukiya,'' Hawi said as she struggled to open her eyes.

She couldn't even get herself to trigger her werewolf abilities anymore. That was how terrible she had been beaten, and boy did she look like she was stoned in the pit of the unwanted.

Hawi knew that Rukiya wasn't going to let this go, and expectedly, the ultimatum came, something that made Hawi smile at how protective her Ruru was.

If they had met under better circumstances, they would have been best friends, and even more, but was that off the table now?

"You have two choices, baby. Either come with me and I figure out a way to fix you up, or dare me to beat you up and watch me burn down the Clarkson pack here and now. And trust me, not even their name will be left in the minds of everyone when I'll be done with them.

"Dare me, love. Try me and see what I will do, hmm?" Rulkiya said angrily as she took in Hawi's appearance.

She felt a stray tear fall from her eyes at how vulnerable Hawi had let herself be. The vulnerability was never a problem, but the kind of vulnerability that Awiuor Hawi had subscribed to, was one that would forever break Rukiya's heart.

"I'm fine."

"Adolf, go find me Mbali. Seems like she and I have a lot to talk about. Bring her, whether you have to drag her by her hair or claws. Bring me Jabali Lihle.

"And do remind alpha Clarkson and his luna, politely, that I had warned them against seeing so much as a scratch on my woman; if they might be tempted to come to save Jabali alright.

"I see more than scratches, hell I see a shitload of scars waiting to show up when she heals. So remind them politely, alright?" Rukiya said to Adolf, her tone so cold that Adolf was worried for himself and the Clarksons.

More than anything, the man who never cared about anyone, was suddenly worried about the fate of one of the great warriors of the realm.

This was bad.

No, this was terrible, like an invitation to hell kind of terrible, only that this wasn't an invitation.

This was Jabali's summoning to hell.

"She didn't do anything. You're being dramatic, Ruru. Besides, my wolf will heal me soon enough alright? I don't need a babysi—" Hawi said and Rukiya turned to her with a full-on glare like she was daring Hawi to say another word.

And well, Hawi always would be Hawi.

"You make me look like a weak alpha wolf, Ruru. I wanted to do this. I t—"

"You wanted to do this? Was that why Malika had to get me out of a meeting and tell me that you needed the both of us but she couldn't make it, or even make me a darn fucking portal so fast?

"Was that your reason, Hawi? Don't fuck with me woman, fucking stay silent," Rukiya said and Hawi gulped like a deer caught in the headlights. She had never seen Rukiya Geryson that pissed and hell, she was sure it wasn't the damn blood oath anymore.

'I think I fucked up big this time,' Hawi thought to herself as she watched Rukiya give instructions to Hudhayfah who carefully walked to Hawi, ready to heal her.

Hawi wanted to object, but there was a pissed alpha wolf on the same ground as her, and she honestly didn't have the strength to fight anymore. So she waited for Hudhayfah. Hopefully, that would calm Rukiya, right?

Rukiya paced as she waited for Adolf to come with Mbali.

Everyone here knew that Adolf was stalling, like he didn't want to come with Mbali immediately for obvious reasons. He knew that Rukiya was not in her right senses and was blinded by rage and a possessiveness over Hawi and that in itself made her a ruthless predator.

If she saw Mbali like she wanted to, there was a chase that he would murder the warrior just to prove Hawi right, and that wasn't why they had come here.

It was quite the sight, seeing Adolf try to save someone's life, that wasn't Rukiya or a Greyson wolf, but then tough times did call for tough decisions, right?

"Ow," Hawi winced when Hudhayfah tried to clean a wound on her arm, and that got Rukiya turning to Hudhayfah like she was about to make her healer take a long trip to the afterlife.

"I doubt you want to piss me off even more Hudhayfah, no?" Rukiya spelled out, word by word like she was not in the mood to put Hawi in pain even more.

"Y'know what, leave. Go find me Mbali and tell Adolf to stop stalling, that won't let me save her life," Rukiya said as she grabbed the supplies that Hudhayfah had come with and sat next to Hawi, ready to treat the elf woman's wounds herself.

"Tell me when it hurts, alright?" Rukiya said and Hawi moved away from her, breaking Rukiya's heart.

However, the sheer determination on Rukiya's face was enough to tell Hawi that they could play this game until the moon goddess came herself, and she wouldn't even be able to do anything to stop Rukiya.

"I'll let you treat me on one condition."

"You're not exactly in the position to tell me what to do, love. I need to know what triggered this, and why you let them hurt you. I need to know why you didn't fucking fight back and don't give me shit about wanting to feel the pain so bad because your mind was clogged.

"Don't even think of bargaining for Mbali's life," Rukiya stated, and Hawi stared blankly, like she was just caught in a lie. But then she knew that Mbali wouldn't hesitate to lay her life for Hawi, and that wasn't what Hawi wanted.

"Well then, seems like you're okay with me being this far from you, right? Besides, who knows, I might just fall in love with Lihle since she gives me everything I want, unlike you," Hawi pouted, and Rukiya flinched like she had just taken a hit in the heart.

Of course, she had, and Hawi knew that what she was doing was low, but damn, this was the only way for her to make a negotiation.

"Your call," Hawi added stubbornly, like she didn't just give the mother of crazies an ultimatum.

Then again, weren't they both wild?

"Fuck me. What's your damn condition?"

"You don't hurt anyone in Clarkson, and I let you take me with you to wherever you want."

"Only if we leave this instant, and you don't talk of falling in love with Lihle EVER again."

"Like I said, your call," Hawi insisted.

"You will be the death of me, fuck. We have a deal then."
