The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[RUKIYA]

The two protectors weren't sure what they would walk into, but then they got to the royal study and found Rukiya actually reading some book. A part of them was glad she wasn't as bloodied as the woman who had sent them here.

She had scared the hell out of them and if the protectors were being honest, there were a lot of better options out there than crossing Awuor Hawi. Granted, she hadn't done any damage to them, but they were still scared, and rightfully so.

It didn't matter that the world was always going to talk of the high chance that the woman would be their savior. She scared the shits out of them and they wouldn't pretend and deny that very obvious fate.

"Alpha Greyson, greetings," Kadiam said as he looked at the alpha. She looked calm, the kind that was strange, and yet at the same time, a part of them was worried that they would be her victims.

She was as powerful as her crazy mate, and could command them into doing whatever. Maybe she didn't know that yet or she just didn't mind, because even as she felt their presence, nothing changed.

It was like she wasn't even bothered by the idea that there were some protectors in her sight. Or maybe there was more to it and she was trying to think it over, seeing as the possibilities were always going to be a little too thin, right?

"Hello, Alpha," Kadiam said again when Rukiya didn't bother turning to them. They were on a tight clock and if they stayed here longer than was assigned to them they would be in real trouble.

But they couldn't fuck this up for Hawi too, so they had to be very cautious with how they talked to the woman lest they be forced into a situation that would screw them over a hundred times over.

"Hello… Do I know you?" Rukiya asked why she sensed that they were not wolves. Her first instinct was to prepare herself for an attack. It was sad really seeing as she had lost so many people and wasn't even able to mourn them.

Her heart was still broken and with her mate not even around, she wouldn't let her guard down. Sure, she knew that Hawi wouldn't ever leave her defenseless, but then what if Hawi did?

Well, she wasn't the kind to leave the woman she loved on the side, so Ruru had to hope for that too, right? Maybe she was overthinking again.

Maybe she was trying to find the fault in all of this because it would be easier to explain than describing the way she felt each time she remembered that Jeremiah Warner and Atticus Russel were still alive. It was almost insane but then what else was there?

Life wasn't exactly all roses and sunshine for them, yeah?

"We mean no harm, your hig—" Kadiam began and Dumi kicked him in the shin before taking over. He knew how nervous they were and she couldn't blame Kadiam for almost folding before the woman.

It was like they were in a predicament that they didn't know how to deal with.

That was still alright, but then the consequences of everything were a little too insane regardless.

No matter how this turned out, they could only hope they left with their lives. And calling Rukiya her Highness wasn't exactly a way to keep their lives together, seeing as Malika had warned them against the use of titles.

If word spread that the werewolf queen was in Sicario, it could cause chaos.

Most of the people who knew the existence of the white wolves never knew that the white wolves were the queens of the werewolf kingdom, a reality that involved a lot of naivety, but one that could only make sure that they were alright in the end.

All of them.

"We mean you no harm alpha Greyson. We have been sent to get you to the human lands," Dumi said before he realized how sheepish that sounded.

It was like he was telling Ruru to pack up and leave and that she had no choice in that. The woman is dangerous on her own and they were risking a lot, but hey, the messengers weren't the ones to die, right?

"Another step and I'll blow your brains off," Rukiya warned, thinking that they were the Russel brothers. Those brothers had truly fucked her up and she hated how gullible she had been in all of this.

It was like she had a choice yet at the same time, there wasn't much of a choice for her. They had forced her into a shell and Hawi was working on making it all better but boy was it talking a little too long.

"Please, just a moment," Kadiam said before he checked his pocket and got out a handwritten note for Rukiya.

It was on a white paper and written to her by Hawi. But then there was a lot of skepticism in the room that it was almost impossible to tell if this was going to work or if that just made it a whole lot worse for them.

Such notes were a thing of the past in their lifeline and honesty they felt like this was something that could have been done differently. But how was that supposed to work?

"What is that?" Ruru asked as if she didn't see the damn paper.

She knew what it meant but there was also a chance that the letter contained a spell dust that could cripple her and in turn weaken Hawi, making all the losses they had encountered worth nothing.

It would make it harder for them to get their revenge seeing as there was no time for justice at the moment they had long crossed the lines quite a long time ago so there was no point in going they were here for justice.

Vengeance was their mantra and they would stop. Even if the duo here was part of the Russel brothers.

"A letter from the one who sent us to pick you up," Kadiam said while Dumi produced a bouquet of white lilies.

"This too," Dumi said and Rukiya stared at them skeptically.

She was slowly getting a grip on who had sent them but she wouldn't let them know that soon. Maybe they were here pretending to be sent by her crazy mate, or maybe they were just here to test her and see how gullible she was from the mountain of loss a month ago.

She had suffered at the hands of the Russel brothers.

She had seen hell and the fact that Adolf was never coming back was the one reminder that Ruru needed to be careful so she could live to see the day the brothers would be killed, easily not that her mother was gone.

"Who sent you?" Rukiya asked, even though she didn't trust her voice as much. She had been through hell and she wasn't about to get herself into another one again. The world could go fuck itself if that was what it took anyway.

"The one whose name we are not allowed to mention," Kadiam said.
