The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[GREYSON]

"Hawi, you don't have to do this," Malika said to her protector once they reached the memorial site.

She could see Rukiya lying on the platform, her beautiful eyes closed and her body unmoving. This was crazy and Malika wished there was more that she could do about this. Hawi had made up her mind and regardless of what was going on Malika knew there was no other way out of this.

"You know I do. They used a blade meant to take me down. We both already know who is the culprit. If I don't do this, they won't stop, Malika. They will keep coming until there is nothing left anymore.

"You know this has to be done," Hawi said softly and Mbali looked at her, wondering what in the hell was going on.

She hated that this had happened. She hated that Hawi had once again lost someone so dear to her, and she hated that regardless of everything they had still managed to fail in the most disastrous of ways.

"Hawi… is she… Is she really dead? I know I was mean to her sometimes but I never expected that we would say goodbye this soon. What will life be like without her? She was the only pure thing in our lives, Hawi.

"What do we do now that she left? Are we going to be the beasts we were meant to be in the beginning? Are we going to have no regard for humanity again now that she is lost? Is there anything worth fighting for this time?

"Tell me, Hawi, can you use the breath of life or anything that is within your powers? Don't understand how we were all protected and she wasn't. She was our only link to humanity even though we never admitted to it.

"She made us happier, hell she made you happier… What the fuck is even this?" Mbali asked frustratedly.

She was sick of thinking.

She couldn't breathe right because of how unbelievable this mess was.

How they could get magic that could keep seventeen thousand warriors safe and fail to keep the only woman who mattered to their group safe. If she wasn't careful, Mbali was about to walk herself to a mental institution.

She was done seeking expansion because it was obvious that none would be coming, at least a sane one anyway.

"Mbali—"

"Did you use her for the blood sacrifice? Was she just a vessel for us to win against Jer? Was she the reason you won? I mean we won? I don't understand. She loved you, with everything, and I could tell you loved her so much.

"You thought of her in your sleep and wanted her safe even if we were miles away from her. So how come this happened? Why was it so easy to take her out? I know, my questioning of my Mistress, might land me in trouble and I'm really sorry about that.

'Alpha, I just don't understand. She is Rukiya Greyson; she is the best thing in your life and she just got taken out like that? Was Razia the reason for this?" Mbali asked and Hawi turned to look at her sharply while Malika facepalmed.

There were so many ways of going about this but seeing Mbali have constant meltdowns just wasn't it. It was driving her crazier than Mbali sounded and if this continued for a little longer, Malika would walk herself to hell just to escape this.

"Come on you two. You really want Mbali to have her brain's friend at this rate. I thought I taught you two to be nicer, smh," Rukiya suddenly spoke and Mbali was stuck between being relieved and punching the ghost back to the dead.

"Tell me I'm not the only one seeing her, mistress, come on. Please," Mbali said and Malika held back the urge to laugh at Mbali.

The longer they interacted with the Lycan warrior the more they realized that the big bad Lycan warrior was a softie on the inside. At least that was a redeeming feature, given the endless bodies that had been slain by the woman, but still, it was a beautiful sight6.

"Well, you're a Lycan and you guys technically have the breath of life. If you ask me, maybe you accidentally breathed it into her?" Malika said and Mbali took a few steps to the farthest end of the memorial room, surely they couldn't be serious at the moment, tiring?

"Hold on… The breath of WHAT now? Don't you tell me that I woke up to the angry ghost of this Greyson kid, man. I wouldn't want to die so soon. Is there a way to turn it off? I meant no offense to you Hawi and since you love her so much, but maybe it's not really a good idea for her to come back as a ghost?

"Dammit, she might haunt me for the endless times I was mean to her. Goodness, I should have been nicer what the fuck… Someone say something!!! Hawi?" Mbali cried out and Hawi smirked at her devilishly like this was Mbali's karma for having to be there all the time and being a nuisance to the two of them right?

But then it couldn't be, and did Lycans really have the breath of life? What the hell was going on?

"You gave her back to me and now you want to take her back?" Hawi looked at Mbali pitifully and Mbali could have sworn she was very fit for that mental hospital that Hawi had been suggesting to her, maybe she was losing her sanity like this.

"I… WHAT? Girl, what did you just say? I swear you people are going to give me a heart attack and I hope the goddess forgives me for forcing this spirit back to her," Mbali said before she grabbed her long sword and positioned herself so she was close to Rukiya's neck.

Just one slice with her Lycan sword, and the werewolf Alpha would be dead, dead and dead. Hopefully locked in the spirit world forever, right?

"I swear I'm not crazy, little spirit, I hope you forgive me for this when I come to the afterlife, okay? It's nothing personal, man," Mbali said as she swung her sword and Rukiya held the sword making Mbali look at her in shock.

"Listen up girl, I'm leaving. I'm gone before y'all even have to start worrying about me," Mbali said as she surfed out of the room, leaving Malika and Hawi snickering like this was the best thing they had done on this crazy day.

"What if Ruru runs after her and she finally thinks she is being haunted?" Malika suggested and Hawi fist-bumped her, before they turned to look at Rukiya who was staring at the two of them in disbelief.

"Really now. You two know the poor thing is scared of ghosts and you use me to scare the hell out of her? You heard how she ranted and mourned. I swear you people are crazy," Rukiya said while the protector and the white wolf laughed, hoping not to wake the Greyson pack.

They had been so tired from the chaos that they wanted something to unwind, so they did this to Mbali.

"Oh please, look at her still runni—"

"Finish that sentence, I dare you," Rukiya said to Malika who raised her hands in surrender.

"Yup, that's my cue to get Mbali back… but you should have let us have more fun—"

"You're still here?" Rukiya asked and Hawi disappeared.
