The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[RUKIYA]

"I don't know what you expect of me, Rukiya. I know I will kill your mother, no matter what happens, you can delay it, but it is inevitable. The sooner you accept that, the sooner it will be easier for you, if I'm being honest with you," Malika said and once again, Ruru chuckled sadly.

"I know that too."

"Then what do you want with me then?"

"I want Hawi to bear my mark," Ruru stated sincerely, before adding, "and I need you to make it happen."

Malika got up from her seat, her eyes never leaving Rukiya's. She had long known that there were crazy people in the world they oh so unfortunately shared, but she never imagined that she would have to interact with this many of them.

Looking at Rukiya, Malika was waiting for her to say that this was some sort of a prank or even that there was nothing that they could do about it, let alone dismiss the idea as absurd, just another thought, as usual.

However, Rukiya didn't budge. If anything, she was looking at Malika as if to tell the protector to make up her mind and fast before things escalated. Then again, weren't they already escalated like this? What version of the universe were they living in?

"You really want her to kill me eh?" Malika asked after a long silence. She was done processing the statement and frankly, her conclusion was still the same. This woman was crazier than the crazy one she had been assigned.

"I know I asked for the crazies, trout good goddess, I didn't ask for all of them at once, eh?" Malika shed as she looked up at the ceiling as if she was communicating with the goddess herself.

And even if she could communicate with the women, she had a feeling that in this one, she would have to fight to save herself from the mess that was inbound. It was not something easy and Rukiya needed to understand that.

"You're immortal, Malika—"

"And so are you, Kadin. So are you… But hey, let's sacrifice the protector who has just gotten her sweet loving mate, now, eh?" Malika whined and Rukiya rolled her eyes at the woman.

"Aren't you being a little too dramatic?" Rukiya asked and Malia stared at her, the pout on her face telling Rukiya that they could drag this on for as long as they could and the answer would probably stay the same.

Then again, what else was Malika supposed to do? This was just so sudden and unsettling for her. She had never thought that Rukiya would be the first to ask this of her, but now that it was happening, what was she to do?

"Do you even understand what you are asking of me and how dangerous it is?" Malika asked, as she sat on the farthest couch away from Rukiya, as if she was scared that the woman would convince her to join the madness.

But wasn't she already going to do it if she was asking this many questions?

In her years of knowing Maika, Rukiya knew that Malika's 'No' always came instantly. Especially if she wasn't going to do shit, but here she was, stalling, which meant that she was contemplating, and that could mean well for the Greyson alpha.

"It's the only way. If she bears my mark then no one can take her from me and no one can make her believe that I don't want her. I get that we are well past the stage of making her understand that I'm not leaving her ever.

"However, as long as the chaos unravels, as long as my mother is in this shit show, and as long as there are always going to be people she can lose, we both know she would be the first to jump ship, if that means saving all of us.

"I don't want her saving me, Malika. I want to fight them, for her peace. I want to win this war for her, and I can't do that if she is scared that I will leave every time," Rukiya said softly.

Malika facepalmed.

If only Hawi was easy to deal with.

If only Hawi didn't have abandonment and family issues.

If only Hawi didn't have trust issues.

Everything would have been so easy if the girl hadn't been broken one too many times, but then she had and here they were probably going to mark her when she was out of it and she could burn the entirety of Greyson out of rage.

What the fuck was she even supposed to make of this?

"She will kill us, Rukiya. She will kill me," Malika said and Rukiya stared at her softly.

"At least we shall have saved her by then. Isn't that what you and I are here for? The blood oath and the protector's role?" Rukiya asked angrily and Malika sighed defeatedly once again.

The longer she was around this stubborn bunch of people the more she was sure she would die of a heart attack, that is if she didn't walk herself to a mental institution with how crazy they were driving her.

"What's the plan then? Because she is asleep, but her senses are active. And don't even think of getting me to numb her. You can't mark her and not let her feel it, Rukiya. That would be the harshest thing you would have done to her," Malika said.

"She's my lifeline, Malika. Of course, I want her to feel it too. But we will have to be fast. You will need to cast a spell on her, one that will let her arch her neck for me to mark. If she bears my mark then she will not have to worry too much," Rukiya said as Malika stared at the women.

"When the fuck did you learn all that? Last I checked you were always fighting in wars and shit. There's just no way that you could have gotten all that information in so little time," Malika asked and Rukiya just smiled sadly at her, again.

"I took the initiative to find out all there was to the woman I loved, love, and will always love, before I went to seek her out, Malika. I put in the effort so she wouldn't have to walk on eggshells around me," Rukiya stated proudly like it was the best decision of her life.

"Damn girl. Anyway, let's head there. And no, you don't get to serenade her or whatever the fuck people do when they mark each other… actually on second thought, you can't mark her neck.

"You can only mark her there when she is conscious, allows it, and she has taken over the crown of the white wolf in the realm. If this is about creating or triggering the mate dong, then her wrist will do," Malika said, making Rukiya smile sheepishly at her.

"I knew that already. I was just waiting for you to confirm it," Rukiya said and Malika didn't say a word, other than hold the woman's hand and portal them into Rukiya's chambers, where the wild girl was sleeping peacefully.

"Are you sure about this, Greyson?"

"With my life, Malika. With my life."
