The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

"Hawi is—" Mbali began before the ground rumbled, interrupting her.

And then she knew that it was trouble.

"What the fuck was that?" Rukiya asked and Mbali looked at her worriedly.

"Please tell me you know where Malika is, Rukiya. The fate of everyone depends on her," Mbali said and the chaos began. The rumbling was not slowing down. If anything, it was like the whole of Sicario and the neighboring lands were shaking.

Rukiya looked at Mbali, the desperation on the Lycan woman\'s face making her wonder if this had to do with what Hawi had supposedly gone to do.

For a moment, Rukiya assumed that her mate had found what she had gone looking for, but then if that was the case, the rumbles wouldn\'t have happened. There was just no knowing whether it was a case of Hawi being Hawi, or something happened.

"Come with me, let\'s find her," Rukiya said to Mbali as they walked towards the Sicario gates.

The warriors were confused, but then as Rukiya and Mbali reached the gates, the warriors didn\'t stop them. If anything, they walked right in, because they would need all the help there was if there was something here.

"Alpha—" Adolf began, worried about his Alpha.

He knew that this was a risky moment, but would Rukiya listen to him and wait outside like the others? Would she give up on her desire to see Hawi, for the sake of her mother who was expecting her daughter back in Greyson?

"Not now, Adolf. Prepare the army. If I need you I\'ll call you. Make sure my people aren\'t worried because that would make them more antsy. We don\'t want a war, at least not today of all the days," Rukiya and Adolf just nodded in slow acceptance.

"Yes alpha," Aldolf said as he watched his alpha rush back into Sicario. He wasn\'t sure what was happening, but seeing Mbali there and worried, reminded him that there was only one person that Jabali Lihle would show up for.

Awuor Hawi Sicario.

Getting into Sicario, people were rushing to hide in their houses. There was chaos all over and while that was something expected, the hall that had been used for the funeral was sinking. That was something that no one had expected.

That was also how Mbali knew that Hawi was at that particular point.

The blast she had created was way too much that it managed to seek the house with the strongest foundation in the entire pack. That house was always at the center of Sicario, but with its walls cracking. It wasn\'t hard to tell that war was coming.

"Try reaching Hawi, I\'ll find Malika," Mbali said before she cast an invisible spell on herself and rushed toward the pack house. It was the only place that the luna would be, especially with all that was happening.

It didn\'t take long for her to find Malika. Her invisible spell was something that had come in handy because as she made her way through the army of wolves that had stepped up to protect their Luna and save their home.

When she reached Luna\'s door, Mbali just hoped that Malika wasn\'t in there with someone. But then when she walked in, she found her with Elodie; the same woman who had been a pain in the ass for Hawi and for their mission in its entirety.

"What the fuck is she doing here Malika?" Mbali asked angrily before she materialized and let herself be seen. She already had her sword and blades ready to chop off Elodie\'s head. She despised that woman and she wanted her gone.

Mbali hated traitors and to her, Elodie Jane was the worst of them all. If Hawi wasn\'t going to do anything about her best friend of a traitor, then Mbali was going to volunteer and do it

"Jabali?" Malika asked, clearly shocked that the woman was here. Mbali never left her station unless she had something important. Then again, it wasn\'t like they always met up on light occasions.

"Is this what you\'re doing now? Playing nice with the woman who betrayed your assignment being here relaxed with the same woman, the woman who should have stood up for Hawi but left her for the dead? Are you fucking kidding me right now?

"What the fuck Malika? And you seem so relaxed for someone who is feeling the rumbling on her feet. What the hell is wrong with you? What have they done to you?" Mbali asked angrily as she walked towards Elodie who had instantly stepped back.

She had been helping Malika change because apparently, Malika was determined to sneak and go find Hawi. However, they\'d been too close when Mbali walked in, making them both look like they were about to kiss. Something that didn\'t sit right with Mbali.

Sure, Mbali wasn\'t interested in women and much less Malika, but the fact that this woman was here and relaxed when all their plans were about to go off, was something else.

"You\'re a traitor. Did you try and do something to her? Did you drug Malika? Is that why she let you close? What the fuck are you even doing here? Is this some club for betraying Hawi?

"The normal protector should have known by now that the woman she is to protect is slowly dying under the rubble. That the woman she is to protect. Her very addition is dying and she is here playing catch with you.

"Maybe I should just kill you then for her to be level-headed. That is what you both want, right?" Mbali asked and she grabbed one of her round blades and put it a little too close to Elodie\'s neck.

If she moved her hand a little, then the blade would slice the warrior\'s neck. That was something that both knew. However, Mbali didn\'t care. She had despised Elodie for making Hawi\'s life harder and she wished nothing other than pure horror on her.

"I\'m done, let\'s go," Malika said when she was done changing. She wasn\'t bothered by Mbali showing up here.

Hell, she had made her decision a long time ago. And she wasn\'t going to be there when Hawi died, because she was going to make sure that she would stand up for the woman. While Mbali was threatening Elodie, Malika had been changing. .

"What?" Mbali and Elodie said as they looked at the woman who was in her full rotator gear. Hell, even Mbali had only seen the uniform on the other protectors, but all of that was in the books.

However, right now, Malika looked so different. She was nothing till the Malika they knew both in Sicario and even outside. She looked like the warrior protector she had always been.

"Whoever is coming with me should hurry. But I must warn you. It\'s not going to be easy and we might die down there. So, you can either stare at each other and make threats or come with me and find the woman we all care about," Malika said.

Elodie stared at her like the woman was bonkers. She was supposed to be in here, with them. She was supposed to be protecting her. There were many guards at the door, so what the fuck was even this?

"You do realize that this is crazy, right?" Elodie said and Malika rushed to her.

"Look, Ella. I\'m going after Hawi whether your army of mortal wolves come after me or not. If they try to stop me, I will kill them. You should already know that by now. Do what you used to make them believe that I am still here.

"I don\'t care how you do it, but Hawi needs me. So, you are going to be here playing whatever the fuck you want to. I don\'t care what the outcome is.

"What I care about is the woman Sicario has betrayed more than thrice," Malika said as she looked into the eyes of the woman she loved.

This wasn\'t the term for romance and she was simply going to ignore the way Elodie was looking at her. She needed to be focused and the only way to do that was to make sure that her woman knew what was at stake.

"Fine go. I\'ll take care of things here. And Malika, please save her, even if you have to save her from herself," Elodie said and Malika nodded right here Mbali created a portal that took them to where the greatest impact was.

Perhaps they would find answers there, right?
