The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[SICARIO]

Captain Drew could see the change in the Sicario alpha and he was sure that it had to be serious. He was confused at first, when Elodie let him hug her, when she had never been done for physical touch.

Elodie Kane was the one puzzle that the sailor had never once understood no matter how hard he tried. However, seeing her here, so lost and so angry, Drew could tell that she needed someone to hold her.

Something had happened out there, something that got her like this and he would figure it out. But first, he needed everyone to leave, so he did just that.

"Everyone, give us a minute," Drew said and Elodie didn't say anything. She could have contested this and made it out to be a long road that they could fight on and forget about everything but it wasn't that easy.

"She will probably start a fight and make it like you started it. We're not leaving," Rio, the captain's second said as he looked at Elodie. He understood that there had to be a reason for Elodie to be there like this but even that was never going to be enough to make him ease up on Elodie.

The woman could turn their captain into a barbecue and they wouldn't be able to do much about it because she had the strongest army in the world to back her up. She was crazy too and that frankly didn't sit well with Rio.

That was not something he would let go easily. Elodie may have despised the captain, but the captain was everything to his team and Rio refused to jeopardize that because of an apparent low moment for the crazed alpha.

It was just too much of a risk and there are so many odds that this wouldn't even be worth it in the end. But what if it wouldn't be worth it?

"We're not leaving too. There is no telling what you lot will try without alpha given how unhinged everything has been since you breached the borders and didn't give the most proper of expansion to the alpha," Theo bit back.

Rio stared at the man he was mated to like this was some sort of shit show. Granted, they were still not ready to explore the basics of the mate bond given where they were at the moment, but damn if they started crashing this early.

There was no telling what would happen when the sun went down, but then what else could they do other than be there for their leaders?

"'What the hell?" Drew asked as he looked at the two warrior generals. They looked dead serious about not leaving that for a moment, it felt like they were in a stand-off. It was unsettling but at the same time, it was interesting to even know it.

There was just no way that this would end peacefully if their elders didn't intervene.

Elodie sighed as she looked at her warrior, reminding herself that she hadn't come here to lean on Drew, but to get some damned answers for what had happened.

She had come here to figure out how the fuck Mbali had managed to die in the process of all that. She couldn't accept that because, at the back of her mind, Mbali was alive, just unconscious.

Elodie was more than ready to believe that there was always a way around the immortals. Perhaps she had hung around immortals for so long that she had lost track of what could be and what could be. But it was worth hoping for, right?

"What in the goddess's good realm is going on here?" a disappointed Hudhayfah asked when he walked in and saw the sailors and the warriors of Sicario in a standoff.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

This wasn't good for anyone, even though Hudhayfah already knew that if there was a fight that broke out, the Sicario warrior would win clean and easy. Then again, they weren't here for war and Hudhayfah refused to think that their people would be getting to such a point.

They had worked so hard to make Sicario a violence-free place that it wouldn't make any sense if they decided to mess that up. It did not make any sense to them and in no world did it seem like it was all in order.

This was not what life was supposed to be like, but then Mbali was never supposed to die and she seemed very much dead back there anyway.

"We're not leaving him without a leader," Theo stated and Hudhayfah sighed.

As if that wasn't enough, Rio spoke those same words, clearly expressing how he couldn't leave his alpha with a woman who wanted him dead. Elodie couldn't help but roll her eyes at the situation at hand.

It was like life was really going on and her friend was not having any life. Everything had stopped for her and her people in a moment, and she wasn't even sure of how the Savasci knights were coping.

They had been a team and with one of them down, they wouldn't be able to function properly. Everyone in that forsaken team had a role that kept them together.

Elodie was always meant to pump reason into Hawi and make her understand some of the things in life that Awuor Hawi never understood with ease. Mbali was there to be the warrior that Hawi needed, while Ruru was there as the mate and the other piece of the prophecy.

Malika was there to make sure the prophecy we protected and even more she was there to nurse that no matter what happened the mission went on.

Hudhayfah was part of the team because he made it easier for the kids to understand what life was and Hawi was the leader because of the prophecy, and almost because she fought well.

If Mbali was down, then an aspect of the team they had forged so dearly would be broke and that didn't seem like the best thing at the moment.

"You little bastards," Hudhayfah sighed as he walked over to where Theo was, and grabbed the warrior by the ear before walking over to where a surprised Rio was and grabbed the sailor by the ear too.

Hudhayfah looked like he had just found the troublemakers he had been looking for and frankly it was beautiful and crazy at the same time, especially with how calm the healer was.

You would think that this was just normal and that these two people hadn't just met first today. Then again, even if that was the case, Hudhayfah Karim didn't care about shit.

"You can't do that!" Rio said and Theo sighed as he looked at his mate.

"Will you just fucking shut up?" Theo retorted while staring at Rio who was defiant and protecting.

Granted they both didn't know why they were being dragged by the ears, but one thing that the Sicario warriors had long learned, was to leave when Hudhayfah stepped in because the man was a hundred bouts of crazy, it just didn't make sense and yet made sense most of the time.

"Did you tell me to shut up?" Hudhayfah asked and that was the cue the Sicario warriors needed to run out of the operations building. The sailors followed suit even though they didn't know why they were running.

One thing they were sure of though, was that they needed to do it.
