Chapter 422 No Tears Left To Cry?
[SICARIO]
When she had taken on the job as the alpha of Sicario, Elodie Kane had been sure she had seen all the phases of crazies possible. Her friend group was filled with an unhinged set of misfits that nothing was supposed to be surprising anymore.

However, when a ship blew in the middle of her pack, and one of her best friends turned up as a body Elodie wasn't sure she wanted to do this anymore. There had been a lot of possible outcomes for this mess.
She had expected everything along the way, but staring at the body that was laid there carefully, like it was something that even the CSIs were scared of embracing, Elodie felt the life leave her.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Mbali?" she asked again as she took a closer look at the girl who was supposed to be on the other side of the world with the rest of the psychos. She was supposed to be everywhere but Sicario and even worse, was the fact that her eyes were shut.
"What happened to her?" Elodie asked the denial so obvious. She couldn't hear any heartbeats and even she knew what that meant. She wasn't ready though. It was impossible for something like this to happen.
Elodie had been there when Malika had cast the spell to protect her sister from every little thing on the face of the earth. Malika was an experienced protector and there was just no way this was the future that she had thought of for Mabli.
"We think when the ship blew up, she had been unconscious in the ship, and…" Olga trailed off, not sure if she wanted to be the one to break the news to the alpha. This woman was equally as crazy as the psycho that rules the realm at the moment.
Olga was sure she would never live to see the rest of her family if she ever chose that out, so she just peed the blanket that had been converting Mbali, as if to tell Elodie to see for herself.
It was not fair, and it was definitely not the best of things at the moment. Hell, even Olga knew the realm would feel the brunt of the Savasci knights if the image before them was a reality in Sicario.
No stone would be left unturned and more than anything, no one would survive the wrath of the crazed Savasci knights. There was just nothing that would ever make it better for them regardless of everything they had tried to make of it at the moment.
"Alpha, what do we do?" Olga asked when thirty minutes passed by and Elodie was still silently stringing at Mbali, no emotions on her face and no nothing. It was like the alpha had become a stone that didn't understand shit.
Well, loss sure did that to people most of the time, but why did it have to be this kind of a loss? What part of their fight to make the realm a better place had gotten them here? Life was not elastic and this had to be an illusion. But was it?
Was that it really, when Mbali was still in the clothes that she had been wearing at the surprise party Malika had brought them over for? It was like the world had decided that peace was never an option for the side of the realm, and boy was it sad.
"What?" Elodie asked, as she stared at Olga, the reality, something that she refused to come to terms with. There was never a way that Mbali would end up dead and that too in the same home that was sent to protect her. This was unacceptable.
"What do we do about Warrior Lihle?" Olga asked for the hundredth time in the past half hour, hoping that maybe, one of the many times she asked, Alpha Elodie would have an answer for her. But would she?
"Give her a change of clothes. Make sure she is comfortable. Actually, there are clothes in her room in the pack house. Carry her there, and dress her up in pajamas. Make sure she is clean, very clean.
"She would kill you if she wakes up and finds herself dressed in anything that she doesn't recognize. And prepare a tray of hamburgers for her just in case she wakes up hungry. And leave the light on.
"One more thing, no matter how tempting it is to explore her room, do not dare do it, because Malika will have your head for that. Alright go on, take the warrior to bed and we will talk to her about what happened, tomorrow," Elodie said dismissively.
Her heart was aching but nothing hurt more than she had ever imagined and she was never going to be ready for anything without the rest of her team members. This wasn't the future they had imagined.
Olga looked at her alpha, the questions clear, but held back in the silence that spoke louder than the worlds that lingered. The wolves were talking, the forensics team was standing back instinctively.
They all knew what could happen and how this could happen. There were a lot of things that were at stake and they couldn't deny that this chit was not in the right manner, but who had the guts to tell that to Elodie Kane at the moment?
"Alpha?"
"Make sure the bed sheets are changed to. Get to work, Olga. She is getting cold," Elodie said and Olga's heart broke for her alpha. She had seen Elodie try to be at her best in this pack and now here they were with a broken Elodie once again.
Some of the warriors who were watching were worried for the sake of everyone. They had seen what had happened when Hawi had lost control and was brown, and frankly, that wasn't the kind of future they hoped for at the moment.
"Yes, alpha," Olga said, seeing as there was nothing else that she could do.
Soon enough the operations to get Mbali to the pack house and clean up began. Elodie stood by and watched as the warriors did everything they could to make Makati Tal better for the rest of Sicario.
It wasn't daily that this happened, but even the hells would be a better place when the sun would set today. There was a desire for answers, a desire to get to the bottom of this, and Elodie was going to get her answers.
It didn't matter how long it took because at the moment, the first set of people she would look out for were the sailors who had arrived in the biome ship. So, she watched and waited for insurance, not getting in the way of the investigators.
The CSI conversations of the ship were done three hours later, when she soon had started going down. Elodie was curious to know what it was all about, because they held the answers to what had happened in this palace today.
That investigation would tell her if this was an accident or if this was a deliberate attack. But even that would never explain why the fuck Mbali had turned up lifeless, not that Elodie considered Mbali dead at the moment.
"Alpha, we have the result of the investigation," Olga said in the fourth hour, once she was mentally set to talk to the alpha. She was still scared, but she had to do this regardless of what happened.
"What is it?"
"This was a setup," Olga confirmed.
