The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[HAWI]

"There will come a day, my sweet child, when someone will love you for who you are and you won't have to change. Don't be scared when that day comes, instead, embrace that love, because it will hold your happiness," Luna Eniola had said to a sixteen-year-old Hawi on her birthday.

"But mama, how will I know that? Is love the only thing that can get me happiness?" Hawi had asked, curious to know what her mother had insisted on her getting love and not even mentioning the alpha position she would be taking up that night.

"No, my love. But Love will give you a reason to keep going. You will be an alpha soon and I know that with how extensive you have trained; you will be the perfect alpha and that will make you happy. But I talk of a different type of happiness sweetheart."

"Like how I love Elodie?"

"Yes, but better than that."

"With Jeremiah?"

"Maybe, my child, maybe. Come now, we need to get you into the ballroom. You can't ditch your birthday party and who knows, maybe Jeremiah is your mate, my love," Luna Eniola had said years ago.

Hawi was fuming.

They were currently in Luna Razia's chambers and the woman was still in her wolf form. Oh, how Hawi hated her. This woman had made a mess of her entire life and she had known all that, thanks to the mating bond with Rukiya.

When Hawi had marked Rukiya, the woman was still hurting from the reality she had just learnt for Hudhayfah. Her feelings were on the surface and everything she had learned was there for Hawi to access.

In her bid to know who would have hurt her mate like that, Hawi had peeked and she didn't like what she had seen. However, she never acted on it, because she knew that Ruru had to be feeling the pain tenfold.

To know that her mother was a damned traitor and that her father died for nothing, was too similar a script that had worked in the Sicario household and frankly, Hawi knew what that pain felt like.

"You lied to us. You manipulated everything and I'm supposed to let you go on with your life like it's nothing?" Hawi asked, her anger turning into a dark chuckle as she looked at the grey wolf before her.

Razia's wolf was beautiful, so beautiful that it was almost heartbreaking to see her face covered in dried tears, and more that was flowing. She was in so much pain. It was breaking all of her and in the past twelve days, she had endured the worst.

Her wolf was losing control and pleading with Rukiya for help, but then Rukiya couldn't. She needed answers too and she was hurting. She knew this was probably insane, but then it wasn't like her mother hadn't tried to ruin their family more than once right?

"Hawi, maybe you can let her have a relief for just ten minutes?" Malika suggested.

Hawi looked at her protector with clouded angry eyes. She understood what Malika was saying, because, if the wolf was still in this state for a while, then she would die and their only link to the shadow warlocks could be ruined.

"You're right," Hawi said before she cast a spell to create a magical cage around the wolf. It was a tiny space, so tiny that the Sicario's damned dungeon spaces were even bigger. This space was too tiny even for Razia's wolf.

However, no one knew what the fuck Hawi was doing, so they just watched in silence as Hawi fortified the little cage with potent silver, and fluoroantimonic acid, the most dangerous acid in existence since the beginning of science.

If Razia were able to endure the silver on the bars, then she would never be able to survive the acid.

Rukiya watched in silence as her mate forced her mother to shift back in that little cage that was rooted in the Luna's chambers. She could see her mother's bruised body, and it was obvious her blood was already poisoned.

Razia's veins had grown darker, because of the pain she had been going through. Razia's human form was terrible. She looked like she hadn't eaten in weeks and that was true.

Hawi had made sure that the Greysons wolf forgot that their luna was in pain and instead, she made them enjoy the festivities that came with the mating. It wasn't surprising that Awuor Sicario had a heart of steel, but goddamn, Razia looked like she was a skeleton.

"Mother—" Rukiya whispered defeatedly as she looked at her mother.

She felt terrible for the woman, but then it seemed like Razia wasn't sharing the same sentiments.

The moment she regained her eyesight, the first thing Razia Greyson did was cast a spell and blast it in the direction of Rukiya, her determination to put an end to her daughter who was already having eternal life forces, still standing.

It was crazy what Razia was willing to do for her mission but instead of Hawi being offended she just laughed at the woman's attempts. She had known Razia had to be a little dumb, but she hadn't expected that she would be this dumb.

"You really are stupid, huh, Razia?" Hawi said as she walked towards the woman, before she held the bars so casually like she hadn't laced the damn thing with so much potent magic.

Hawi could feel her skin burning, but it was a non-issue for her because she was used to the pain. She was more interested in Razia and her futile attempts at sanity.

"I will kill you once I get out of here," Razia said and Hawi chuckled as she removed her hand from the bars and could see the dent that the acid had left in both her palms. She showed her palms to Razia who was taken aback by the sight.

The woman before her was really and truly crazy for this.

"You see, every time you use your magic, in here, it just makes your little jail potent and unbreakable. Of course, you will be fortifying it for me, but no amount of fortifying from your end will render it unmovable by me, sweet Razia.

"And by now I think you already know that Rukiya bears my mark, which means that soon enough she will start growing more powerful, but never more than me. I am telling you this, just in case you start playing nice mother and appeal to her humane side.

"Your daughter isn't a devil like me, and I know there will be temptations like that. Which is also why the acidic components I combined with the silver, will keep increasing the potency, and thanks to the magic you just blasted on them…

"—They will get more lethal. Even if my Rukiya wants to save you, she won't be able to, Razia. So don't bother with trying to be a mother to her. You lost that chance when you wanted her dead.

"Anyway, I know you have questions and I would really like to stay and chat, but I have a certain Jeremiah to taunt. So, pardon me for sending you on a little trip outside Greyson, hmm?" Hawi said.

Before anyone could say anything, Hawi created a portal and sent a caged Razia through it, leaving everyone in the room with their jaws on the ground. Maybe the screws in Hawi's head had all gotten lost and she had completely lost it.
