The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[AWUOR]

"Just a few more steps," Rukiya said to Hawi.

They were currently outside the pack house and it was safe to say that Rukiya had taken Hawi's approval a little too seriously.

She had managed to convince Hawi's wolf to heal her, and while that hastened the process there were just some things that Rukiya Greyson needed to confirm for herself. And that's why they were here with Hawi going through physical therapy.

"Can I take back my approval?" Hawi whined as she made the three-hundredth step.

She had been doing this for an agonizing three hours and was about to lose her mind. She had given Rukiya the stink eye more than once but that didn't seem to faze Rukiya because her greatest priority right now was Hawi and her health.

Everything else could wait.

"Just one more. I promise I'll let you relax," Rukiya said and Luna Razia let out a knowing laugh.

"See, even the luna is laughing because she knows you won't let me relax. You're such a meanie," Hawi pouted as she struggled to walk.

She had been used to pain and inflicting it on herself, but when she had let the Clarkson warriors descend on her full throttle, she hadn't accounted for the fact that there were many of them and she was just one person.

The fact that she had intentionally overlooked the part where they were probably going to break her bones and would take her a while to heal, didn't sit right with Rukiya. However, right now, the main goal was to make sure Hawi went through her physical therapy.

"I'll take you on a hunting trip round if you put that foot forward, sweetheart," Rukiya said sensually, and Hawi looked up a little too fast, making her head hurt and her hands falter.

But that didn't matter because she had been given the one thing she was willing to do whatever it took.

"If you lie this time—" Hawi began but Rukiya interrupted her softly.

"I'd never lie to you, baby. Now you wanna come with me, just the two of us, or would you prefer to go with Adolf?" Rukiya asked and Adolf let out a whine.

"You're setting me up, Rukiya. You seem to be forgetting that she could bite my head off and not even feel an ounce of remorse.

"She still wants to kick my ass and going hunting with her will be an excuse to bring me back home looking like the walking dead," Adolf complained and Rukiya let out a knowing smirk.

Of course, she wanted Adolf and Hawi to be on the same page but that wasn't something that would happen overnight. It had been two years since they had first met Hawi and even then that didn't make it any easier for Hawi to trust Adolf.

She was still skeptical, though they were like frenemies at this point. But did that even matter when Hawi wanted something to punch right now?

"I'd say I want to go with Adolf since it's tempting to knock off that smile on his face, but I'd rather spend more time with you. Besides, who knows what tomorrow holds for me, right?" Hawi said as she suddenly walked in a straight line she hadn't been hurt in the first place.

"Oh, she is sly, this one,'' Sherry, the Greyson pack cook, said and Hawi just smirked at her.

Of course, Hawi was a strong wolf and she could handle herself. She knew she could fix herself long before she had even left Clarkson, but the thought of having Rukiya care for her, and treat her well, was something she had been looking forward to.

It was a test of loyalty, one that could have gone sideways so bad, but then here they were.

It worked.

"You can't blame me for wanting to spend more time with my woman, even if I have to pretend to have a broken spine," Hawi said and Adolf just rolled his eyes at the woman. He loved the duo, but that didn't mean he was going to openly admit defeat to Hawi.

He was excited for what the future truly held for them and especially now that they had Hawi with them.

"No, I can't. Just don't hurt her, alright? She's my only daughter, and if you hurt her, I will come for your hair," Luna Razia warned and Hawi just laughed.

Her hair was never an issue for her, because that shit grew faster than Awuor Hawi could ever blink. And the fact that it was platinum white made her feel like her mission as th white wolf was about to be made known to her.

She just hoped that it wouldn't come before she was done avenging her mother because then, Hawi would abandon that mission and focus on her vengeance. There was nothing she wanted more at this point anyway.

"You don't have to worry about me hurting her. She's mine to love, cherish and protect. What's mine is hers in every way, except for my enemies because I will burn down anyone who looks at her the wrong way.

"If you all will excuse us, I have a woman to please," Hawi said before winking at the group that had gathered to encourage her to get through her physical therapy with her woman.

"Is she fucking blushing?" Sherry whisper-yelled when she saw Rukiya Greyson, the woman who could pull the coldest of faces blush when Hawi had claimed her.

It was a new sight, probably something they would take a long while to get used to, but hearing that the wild woman was her protector was something that they all had to appreciate.

Because only those who hated their lives would dare lay their hands on what Hawi had claimed.

"Damn, you look so fucking pretty right now," Hawi said to Rukiya who was so close to facepalming. She wasn't used to the open show of affection, but then she was glad that she didn't have to hide what she felt for Hawi anymore.

"Everyone, dismissed. Get back to your stations and report to Adolf and the Luna in case of anything while we're away," Rukiya said and Hawi shooed the crowd away.

Sure they were leaving, but a little too slow. And it seemed like Hawi was having other plans for Rukiya, because she turned to the wolves who were taking their sweet time to leave.

"You people are naughty. I guess you want a show, no? I'll give you or then," Hawi said, before she claimed Rukiya's lips right there, before the pack doubting Hawi's words.

Well, they were right to doubt, but seeing Rukiya respond to the kiss was something else. It wasn't a deep kiss like the one they had before, but it was one that made the statement Hawi wanted to make known.

Instead of leaving they just cheered and Hawi let out a low growl, one that finally served as a warning for everyone who was still watching them.

Carefully and wordlessly the crowd of wolves disappeared while Rukiya was melting softly in Hawi's arms. She loved it there and wanted to stay for a long time. She wanted to reign in the newfound affection and clearly, she was hoping that it wouldn't end.

"You owe me a hunting trip, love. Let's be on our way, no?"
