Chapter 320: Maybe That Was Karma
[HAWI]
"Did she just…" Malika said as she stared at the empty bed and the empty space that was in the room.
She was the only one left here with Rukiya, and frankly, that was not comforting in any way. Life was already a shit show if they didn't know what Hawi was doing and whatever she was up to.
However, then now that she had just disappeared through the portal with a Russel brother it was more than obvious that it would take a lot of energy to figure out where they both went.
Then again, Malika stared at the alpha she was left with, the beautiful girl who had seen another member of her family only to realize they were all the same in the end.
Life wasn't being fair to her at the moment, but at least the history books didn't lie when they talked about the Shadow warlocks being as selfish as possible. It wasn't the best of things, though, at the moment, it really shouldn't have been surprising for the young Greyson anymore, right?
"I'm never going to get used to all of this, am I?" Rukiya asked, looking at Malika hopefully like she wanted the protector to tell her that this was just a one-time thing and not something she needed to get used to.
Rukiya had probably thought that the beautiful dinner yesterday was the beginning of new things, and it really was. She had seen a side of Hawi that she had never seen anywhere. It was one she knew that no one had ever seen.
The woman had let herself be vulnerable with Rukiya.
Hawi had bowed her head the previous evening, asking for her forgiveness and swearing to understand her. Hawi had been understanding and apologized even though it was Ruru who had misunderstood her intentions the previous day.
She had taken the blame and made sure that Ruru was happy.
Hawi was never going to stop loving her that much she knew but there was no way that she had expected that even on their night out, they would wake up to one of her uncles trying to use her to get to Hawi, which was something that shouldn't have happened.
"Welcome to the world of the white wolf and her mate, Rukiya. Don't worry though. If it's any consolation, Hawi's unpredictability makes it easier for us to win against the dark forces and make sure that the realm is peaceful and that no one would get hurt in the process," Malika said.
Ruru looked at her as if she was asking whether that was supposed to put her mind at ease with the same woman who was already gone. But then Ruru knew this was bound someday.
She was aware that Hawi wouldn't just be playing good mate and loving mate the entire time. Part of that had to be the risks she had been born into and frankly as scary as it was, Ruru couldn't deny that she was way too proud of her beautiful mate.
"Well then. Let us go home, yeah? I didn't think there was a point in staying here. The staff can do the cleaning. Create the portal," Rukiya said and Malika did not object.
So, she created a portal and together they went through, stopping conveniently at the Sicario gates, only to fight their people excitedly talking about something that seemed interesting.
If the duo wasn't sleep-deprived they would have joined in, but they didn't. Instead, they just walked among the Sicario wolves as they made it to the source of their excitement, and for a moment there Rukiya wanted to puke her guts out.
Damn, she needed to have a stronger mentality because at this rate, she would be frail but the time they were done with their mission on both ends.
"He looks like he went through all the stages of suffering," a warrior whispered as he took in the night before them.
Right, there was Nikolai Russel, looking like had been through hell and back. Maybe he really had, or maybe the woman standing next to his body with an excited face was the source of his pain.
Then again, Hawi looked like she wanted to see what would happen. She seemed to love this kind of torture. It was almost like the man had inflicted it on himself and Malika started before she understood it all.
"I swear it wasn't me," Hawi said, raising her hands in surrender as she looked at her mate who wasn't sure if this was what normal would always look like.
Bit by bit, Rukiya Greyson was learning that she wasn't as cruel as she had thought she was over the years. Being with Hawi made her feel like she was a saint because there was just no way she could be this evil.
Hawi was enjoying all of this and Malika sighed again.
"I know… It wasn't you," Malika said and Hawi looked at her hopefully like she was waiting for an explanation from her protector. Malika always had the answers to things that she didn't and right now, was one of those moments.
"He did this to himself when he tried to take Rukiya's magic to come after you. Well, it's safe to say that Ruru isn't exactly pleased that everyone wants to take a jab at her mate. So, the magic turned against him and he is experiencing the aftereffects of it all.
"If Alpha Greyson doesn't take back her magic, the man will melt, literally since Rukiya was already mated to you and her magic had forgotten stronger and more protective of you," Malika explained and Rukiya sighed.
She didn't know a lot, but the fact that she was hearing that even though she had seemed useless she was quite useful, made her happy.
However, a part of her was thankful that Malika hadn't told the wolves straight-up that the man was her uncle because they would probably look at her differently. But would Hawi let the love of her life be treated like an outcast?
That was a lot to think of anyway.
Finally, Ruru understood the purpose of her magic that unlocked only when they completed the mating period.
It was strange and sweet at the same time, because she had the power to protect the girl who could protect herself and frankly it was making her feel like she wasn't a thorn in Hawi's side. Not that she ever was.
"Hey baby, took you long enough to get here. Sorry about leaving like that, I needed to make sure he didn't escape," Hawi said as she walked over to where her woman was and pulled her into a side hug, before she kissed her hair before her lips.
Ruru was still trying to understand the dynamics of everything and she was not close to getting her answers but at least Hawi was okay. That was about enough for her at the moment, right?
"Are you okay? You hurt anywhere?" Rukiya asked as she looked into the beautiful brown eyes that were focused on her like she was the only person there. She was used to that but she couldn't deny that this made her feel safer with Hawi.
"Yeah, come, let's get you rested, my beautiful," Hawi said as she walked Rukiya away from the chaos that was about to unfold.
