The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[HAWI]

The evening in Sicario was quiet and calm. The pack was enjoying tranquility for the first time in so many months and they truly appreciated it. This to them was like the dream that had seemed impossible.

Their alpha was home.

Their people were safer and no one was instigating war again.

The warriors were on Hawi's side.

The elders supported her even as they planned for the day of the trial of the bloodied crown years ago.

It was something that was expected, seeing as Hawi wasn't the murderer, and honestly, it was more than anyone could have assumed. Justice was finally being passed and there was peace inbound.

No matter what happened along the way, they all knew that there wasn't a thing that could ruin their pack again. The fire wards were up, the crazy friends had built up most of the Sicario homes and helped with the cleaning.

It was like the misfits were finally doing community service only that this time, they loved every bit of it. They got to interact with wolves casually. They got to be there with the warriors and even help them with all the work.

It was like they were one big happy family even though the misfits had just come from Grayson to help out there. It was a beautiful thing really. Family was proving to be better each day and honestly, it was worth fighting for.

"Come along let's watch the sunset," Malika said to Mbali And Elodie who didn't object. They had left Rukiya to clean up the blood on her, even though they hadn't seen Hawi in a while. They simply assumed that she was around and watching over them.

Maybe they were having too much trust in the woman who loved running away like it was her second calling, but then they had to see it through, right? They had to put their trust in Hawi and let her embrace whatever she was going through.

They had to hope that no matter what happened between her and Ruru, they would eventually find common ground and that they wouldn't have to fight anymore. Then again, that was too much for a couple that was used to showing the world their love.

Theirs was a union that the masses around them looked up to. You would think they were the ultimate reminder of what normal looked like and not a bunch of psychos brought together by the universe in the name of peace.

Well, the universe had to be high with them anyway.

"Hello Ma'am," a voice was heard and Malika could have sworn it was too familiar in their head. Maybe she was hallucinating because he hadn't regained all of her strength since coming from Greyson, but even if that was so, was she to be disillusioned like this?

"Do you guys hear that?" Malika asked if she took her time to turn to the source of the voice. She didn't want her sister and her mate to think she was finally losing her mind and she couldn't have known that she was a little weak.

That was a lot of guilt to pin on her sister and she hated it when her sister suffered, so she wouldn't try that with her dear Mbali. But then somehow she had to comfort whatever that was right?

"Oh, the two protectors? They looked like side dishes on the bed last time I went to Greyson. They looked like they could roll on the ground and turn into chicken nuggets," Mali said and Elodie snorted at the description.

However, Malika didn't say anything, instead, she looked at her sister like she wasn't even surprised but, before turning to look at the duo that Mbali was buried roasting so hard next to them.

Well, they were real.

And they were not supposed to be on this side of the realm.

"Aren't you both supposed to be in Olyana by now?" Malika asked the two protectors she had released two days ago. It had been a quick release, but only because Malika wanted them to witness how dysfunctional her family was.

She didn't want them talking about her sister and how she had fought tooth and nail to save her sister only for Mbali to be a total pain in her ass. That was the kind of thing that Malika would leave for just the two of them.

Then again, the fact that these two were here was more shocking because there was a chance that something had happened to the protectors, or maybe the Russel brothers had attacked Greyson again.

It could mean a lot of things and frankly, Malika wasn't in the mood for all that. She couldn't handle going back and forth between things because the other protectors weren't able to handle the situation.

It would be a real shame regardless but she could only hope that that wasn't what they were here for. Also, the fact that they made it through the fire wards, and were dating a g-wagon too, was suspicious.

Protectors never needed motors to head anywhere and yet here they were with the latest model of the g-wagon, something that Malika could have sworn she saw in Hawi's crazy dungeon. Maybe she was hallucinating, right?

"Yes, but an assignment came up and we were sent here," Kadiam said and Malika glared at him curiously. There was just no way they would be sent to her station by the high protectors without her being informed.

Besides she hadn't done anything that would cause suspicions, not to mention the fact that she was stronger than them, she had more power than them and could ruin them with just a snap of her fingers.

Surely whoever sent them over here had to have known that too, right? There was just no way that they would be doing that to her, but what if they thought that Mbali coming into her life was making her a liability?

That right there was something that Malika refused to think of. She would always choose to protect her sister no matter what happened.

"What assignment? As far as I know, Hawi is safe," Malika argued as she looked at Mbali and Elodie and just shrugged. They knew nothing of Hawi being unsafe and that was expected because the woman hadn't shown signs of distress.

"We are here on the orders of the werewolf queen," Dumi insisted and Malika rolled her eyes at him. He couldn't be seriously here with the notion of a queen who had been mentioned to the realm, right?

Surely the high protectors couldn't be that stupid to send them on a dangerous errand like that, right? It just didn't make sense, also there was no way the werewolf queen had to have sent them when she didn't even know her true identity.

That shit was just fucked up a little, but they could fix it, no?

"Who now?" Mbali asked, clearly not understanding what this meant. And the fact that her sister was rolling her eyes at the protectors had to mean that there was a true queen among them? And she hadn't been mentioned?

What the fuck were they all on?

"You people are frustrating the duo. Trust me, they aren't here to take your jobs. They were the available lot and Malika trusts them anyway," Elodie said and Malika squinted her eyes at her mate who simply shrugged like she knew something.

"Ella… You want to explain what is happening?" Malika asked but she was interrupted by Kadiam.

"We're getting late, ma'am Malika. You more than anyone should know orders aren't to be delayed," Kadiam said as if to remind Malika that they were all soldiers who would do whatever it was that they were recommended regardless of what the situation was.

"Then who are you here for?" Mbali asked curiously.

"The queen consort, Alpha Greyson," Kadiam said as he looked at Malika as if to ask her whether she had forgotten about the titles. Well, she hadn't forgotten but it wasn't to be like that, yeah?

Or maybe she had forgotten that the white wolf was the werewolf queen.

"Oh, shit," Elodie explained.

"No way," Mbali let out, surprised.

"Never use that title on this side of the realm. Not until the white wolf gets her revenge and settles her scores with everyone who fucked her up on this side. Understood?" Malika said, the warning and power in her tone was so obvious that there was a shift in the atmosphere.

Dumi and Kadiam bowed their heads instinctively while the wolves were caught unawares. Hell, even Elodie and Mbali had their heads almost bowed at the tone of the protector.

"Yes ma'am," Kadiam said, his feet trembling. Malika sure knew how to keep them up in all the ways to hell and back. Lord, she was terrifying as hell.

"She's in the royal study," Malika said as she released them.

"Thank you," Dumi responded before he and Kadiam made their way to the royal study to find Rukiya.

Malika was tempted to ask why they were here for Rukiya but she had a feeling that it had to do with the way they had found her when they came from Greyson. Maybe Hawi was making amends with the love of her life and they were all for peace.

Maybe this was their chance to see what it was that it took to get Awuor Hawi sane for long. She had been keeping her cool and she had done more than they expected. Normally and upset Hawi was bound to throw tantrums.

But today there was none.

"Oh, they're going to have a blast!" Eldie said excitedly and Malika and Mbali stare at her as if to tell her that she needed to explain what the fuck was going on here.

She was right though, yeah?
