The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[HAWI]

"Time to wake up, Kurt," Hawi said as she gathered the kid's face roughly, opened his mouth a little too widely, and then breathed a lifeforce into the kid, making Razia grunt in despair.

She had seen her brother suffer in the hands of Malika and the fact that Malika shared the memories with her before she left was something that would always haunt Razia. This wasn't what she had imagined but everything waxed down on her.

"Please, let him be," Razia begged and Hawi smirked at her.

"Don't tell me you're finally growing a conscience, Razia Greyson… or should I call you Razia Russel since you murdered your husband?" Hawi asked and Razia wasn't even fazed.

She was already aware that with the marking, Hawi and Rukiya would be introduced to things that they all had experienced before the day they were mated. It was all bound so there was no point in hiding it all anyway.

Besides, it wasn't like she was about to start counting right?

"How about this… you tell me exactly what happened to my mother and how you made it happen, without taking me in circles, then I might just not kill Kurt. Of course, there's a chance that I'll kill him anyway, but I can always bring him back.

"The truth for a lighter pain on your brother, what do you think?" Hawi asked as she looked at Razia who was watching her brother who was solely realizing that this shit was really happening.

Kurt was innocent, but that didn't make it any easier for them. If anything, this wasn't going to make Hawi change her mind about the mess that had been created.

"What?" Razia asked and Hawi stared at her as if to ask her if she was hard of hearing. In all this time surely the woman should have expected that Hawi would want to know what had ruined her life years ago, right?

The memory of the bloodied crown was still in her mind, the horrors of everything that she felt were still clear and she had blamed herself… up until she realized this was larger than Jeremiah Warner and her being the white wolf.

Now that she was here with the woman, she would get what she wanted.

"You heard me. The truth, for your brother's life… extended life, but life nonetheless," Hawi said and Razia looked at her brother, Atticus.

She could see he was armless, and didn't have an ankle, not to mention he had bones protruding from all over. It was almost like Atticus had been dragged around in his state until there wasn't any more pain he could feel.

This right here was a reminder of the monster Razia and her brothers had created, or maybe they had known she would fight, and they just didn't know how she would, right? After all, they had been so certain that she wouldn't win this on her own.

But who was Awuor Hawi to them then?

"How would I know if you're not going to get back on it?" Razia was forced out even though her throat was sore and her head hurt. She couldn't think straight and she wasn't even sure how much longer she would last before her body gave out.

Her pain was fucking with her mind and no matter what she wanted to do, this was driving her nuts. What choice was she supposed to make when the devil herself was staring at her with a frown and a smirk on her face?

Hawi looked like she was about to chop their bodies to pieces and yet at the same time, she looked like she was giving Razia a chance to save her brother who was innocent in this, just like she had been when she was accused of murdering Eniola.

"You don't. What you are sure of, is that there's nothing stopping me from killing you and using your body as a tool to teach my warriors anatomy. Besides, you should already know that the entire Greyson army we came with is down.

"Thanks to Atticus. I may not be the person you would want to bargain with for long. Rukiya is here and she is pissed. She wants blood for the death of her warriors, and do you know the best part and the worst part of it is?

"She lost Adolf," Hawi said and Razia let out a gasp.

She hadn't been expecting that clearly, given that Adolf was always a loyal wolf.

He had always met the demands of the Greyson pack before his life and no matter what life threw at him, he was always trying to be positive, trying to make sure that life wasn't even bad for their people.

Adolf was a good beta and he would have made the perfect alpha in the event that Rukiya gave up her seat and went to rule with Hawi. But then without Adolf, there was nothing stopping Rukiya from burning everything down anymore.

There was no telling what she would do and Razia was aware of how her daughter hated losing people.

"Impossible," Razia said even though she had felt a large number of mind links break a few weeks ago.

It had all been too sudden and she hadn't thought much of it. But now that she was hearing Hawi, Razia couldn't help but look at her brother as if she was asking a silent question.

What the fuck would she even ask him anyway? That he killed Adolf? That he took out half the entire Greyson army? That he had ruined their chances at a life? Or that he had taken away the very thing that held Rukiya Greyson back from being a mother?

It was a hard job for Razia but then it wasn't like this was new to her. Perhaps meeting her daughter's raw rage would be new, but whatever it was, they were screwed in all the ways to hell.

No one would come to save them and if Rukiya was in Sicario at the moment, then they could as well start counting the days before they were eliminated by the girl who had lost everything and had nothing left to lose. This was interesting.

"I know right? I thought so too, because I cast a spell to protect the entirety of Greyson and the army. but hey, your brother managed to sneak in someone who would make sure the spell didn't work.

"I'm sure he wanted to kill Rukiya, but he needed to kill the Greyson army and your daughter's best friend. Now I don't know Rukiya so well in regards to what she does with family that disappoints her…

"—But I know what I can do to you, or probably for you," Hawi said and Razia stared at her like this was some sort of a sick joke.

None of this was making any sense to her.

When the hell had they fallen this far from the lives they had so desperately wanted to make the best out of?

When the hell had everything crumbled down or would they still blame it on the existence of the girl who was defeating them without having to do much?

"Fine. I'll tell you. I'll tell you but please, save Kurt," Razia said and this time, Hawi laughed at how gullible the woman was.'

When she had come down here, Hawi had sworn that she wouldn't let anyone leave alive. And she wasn't about to. But Razia didn't need to know that. If anything, Razia was to be given all the hope in the world and she would crush it all.

Hawi hated this woman with every breath she took.

She despised Razia worse than she had felt when she realized she had murdered her mother and had no memory of it. She hated the women more than she had hated herself and boy had Hawi hated herself a little too much.

Anyone would think that she was determined to fuck herself up more than once. But hey, at least she was, finally getting the version of the mess that mattered, not the altered mess that Jer was presenting for scraps, right?

"I won't, but I might change my mind, because if Ruru comes and finds leverage and I don't use it, she might think I'm a traitor. I love your daughter too much to even think of harming a hair on her head.

"So speak, before it's too late," Hawi said and Razia nodded, before she took a deep breath and began unlocking what Hawi hadn't known for the past four years.

However, would knowing the truth make Hawi feel better or worse?
