The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[RUKIYA]

"—because she's always been mine from the onset, my ferocious love," Rukiya said thoughtfully like she wasn't even listening to anyone anymore, and maybe they could have bought into her fantasies if only Hawi hadn't spoken in her real voice and not the nana voice she'd been using.

Oh, Hawi.

"Bitch I'm your what now?" Hawi asked as she looked at Rukiya who had suddenly turned to look at her.

Rukiya could have sworn she had heard Hawi's voice and she could have sworn everyone in the shelter had heard her too. She looked in the direction of Malika's nana and Malika was busy facepalming.

She looked like she was about to go crazy by just listening to Hawi and her madness. This woman would be the death of her if she wasn't careful. Hawi didn't even care for a moment, because to her, she wasn't going to pretend for long.

Malika looked around them and she was getting greedy for combat ready to protect her assigned white wolf, but then as Rukiya closed in, Hawi did what she always did best. She became a nuisance.

"I told you, you little shit, the nappies wouldn't work," Hawi said, this time, using her real voice, but an older version.

She was slowly masking her voice, trying to make it seem like she hadn't slipped up or that she hadn't been shocked by the fact that she had heard Rukiya's confession. It was crazy and as it stood, Rukiya had taken a new interest in her.

"What did you just say?" Rukiya asked, and this time, she was using her alpha tone on Hawi and she didn't like it.

Malika had to remind Hawi that this was them just having to keep on the act and that it was a necessity. But even then, Hawi didn't like the tone Rukiya was using on her.

Whatever game she and Malika were playing, she was slowly getting sick of it, because no alpha dared to use the alpha tone on her. Hawi looked at Rukiya, then at Malika, before deciding that maybe it was worth a try.

And so the great Hawi Sicario looked at Rukiya, like a regular wolf who had just gotten the alpha command, a wolf that wasn't sure what this meant.

Of course, right now, she was parading as a human, but there were times when the humans had to bow to the wolves and that was something that Hawi was going to maximize, only for now. It was appropriate and at the moment there weren't many options for her.

Malika was constantly reminding her that they needed to find out what Rukiya wanted with her, but then again, Hawi was already cringing so hard at what she had heard so far.

This isn't how this should have gone by and frankly, maybe getting the blood oath done was better.

"Hey kid, what the fuck did your father say we should say when we meet the wolves?" Hawi said to Malika who had been bowing with her. They looked stupid and even then, Hawi knew that this was a picture that Malika would never let her outlive.

For a woman who took pride in so many things, Hawi wasn't proud of this. She had been waiting with her head bowed so Rukiya could continue and it was unsettling for her. Maybe once this was done she would remind herself to never bow again, right?

"Shut up you old woman. You peed in your fucking nappies and now we don't got nothing to change you into. Maybe I should just let them deal with you," Malika whispered as she intentionally shook her body to make Rukiya think that they were scared shitless.

Maybe with the terrible weather outside, they would be able to sell the act, but the only question was whether Rukiya Greyson would buy the act. It wasn't something that they couldn't count on really, because it all just kept getting worse.

'How long am I supposed to be an old woman? My butt hurts from all this and the stupid spell you cast got me smelling like pee you wicked protector,' Hawi said to Malika in their mind link and Malika just sighed internally.

'If she doesn't buy this act, then we don't have to keep the act anymore. We will just bind them to a wall and force the answers from them. It's that easy,' Malika said and Hawi looked at her incredulously.

"You should have fucking started with that instead of torturing me like this," Hawi scolded loudly, and as unintentional that was, Rukiya and everyone in the shelter heard them.

Adolf looked like he was already tired of staring at the circus before them. The fact that they still had to spend more time with this nana wasn't even helping their situation. Maybe there was a way they could shake Hawi and Malika, right?

"Oh for fucks sake, Rukiya. Focus on the plan. We need to get to know what these prisoners have and of the stupid blood oath so the only way for them to tell us where Alpha Awuor is, let's get on with it.

"This old woman is clearly a nuisance that her granddaughter would want to shake, and that won't happen if we keep standing here.

"So let's get on with it, shall we?" Adolf said and Hawi made a move to talk but Hudhayfah took a piece of clothing and wrapped it around the older woman's mouth, making Hawi glare daggers at him, but he didn't mind that.

This woman was being a nuisance to their plans and if they stayed here for long they would have all the answers they needed. If anything, finding Hawi was more important to them than whatever the fuck was going on here.

"Let's go outside, and get this done with," Hudhyafah said when the rains subsided.

Malika looked at Hawi, ready to stop Hudhayfah, but had stopped her. Maybe there was sincerity in Rukiya's words. Maybe there was something that they could do about it, but later on.

'Why are you stopping me, think of the consequences of her binding herself to you. What if she tried anything stupid?' Malika asked when Hawi stopped her from stopping him, or even acting.

'We have tried to buy time, Malika, but none of that has worked so far. I can't keep on being this dumb nana and you can't be cursing out an older woman all the time. We have to think. Besides, if she binds herself to me, and swears to protect me with her life, I will have an army.

"I will have her army, which is one of the strongest armies in the realm. That means I won't be alone, Malika. I will have an army ready to go to war for me. With the blood oath, Rukiya won't have a choice but to make sure I am safe and the only way to do that, is to let her do this.

"Besides, don't you trust me? I wouldn't let a bitch bring me down, not this time,' Hawi said and Malika just sighed. She knew Hawi was right, so she did the one thing she hadn't thought she would ever agree to.

She stopped the rain.
