The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[HAWI]

"Four? Aren't we eleven?" Mbali asked, not understanding a word from Malika's mouth, maybe it was because her mind was still comprehending what the fuck was happening here. However,

"Hudhayfah and the six Lycans must return to Greyson and keep the pack safe," Maloika said, leaving no room for questions. Greyson was weak at the moment, especially with their warriors feeling the pain of the greatest loss ever.

They needed to make sure that the pack was well protected even if their leaders were out.

Sherry and Harry wouldn't be able to handle the pack and the changes there. This was why there needed to be people with strong magic, people who would restore sanity to the pack, and the only ones who could do that were the seven mentioned.

"Alright, when do we leave?" Hudhayfah asked and Malika assigned.

She knew this wasn't easy, but then circumstances were changing and it seemed more like they would be able to complete their mission when it was just the four of them than a larger team.

At least the four of them had the kind of power that we stop insanely in anyone's hands. It was crazy, but what else would they be able to do to make it all better other than get to the bottom of it all?

It was kinda sad how they had fought tooth and nail only for their huge team to be reduced to a team of four. But they would be fine, right?

"I know everyone has questions and they will be answered after we win the bottles. We have a lot of things to do that we can't focus on our personal issues at the moment. And Mbali I know you might hate me for this, but can we please not talk about the last name we share until this is all over?

"You might want to decide whether you want me as part of your life then or not, yeah?" Malika said and Hawi watched them sadly. She hadn't known what Malika's last name was, but everyone in the realm knew of the horrors of their last name.

Maybe they would be able to sort this out, because it hurt to see them like this, heartbroken and lost.

Maybe there was going to be a way for them to work it out but then whatever frustrations they had, they already had good motivation to let out their anger anyway.

"Alright. Let's get going then," Hudhayfah said to the six Lycans before one of the clans created a portal.

Hudhayfah and the Lycans went through, leaving the four women sitting on the ground watching the armless Atticus who was slowly regaining consciousness. Hawi knew this wasn't going to be easy, and definitely for Rukiya.

She knew that there was more to this than she would ever be able to understand. but then she wanted to know what had happened. She needed to know how they had gotten to this point.

"What do we do with him for now? It's almost evening and we can't exactly leave him free like that, right?" Mbali asked as she looked at Malika.

She knew that this wasn't going to be easy, but for the sake of the mission, Mbali was more than willing to let everything be. She was here for Hawi and to make sure Hawi got whatever she wanted.

Maybe if Hawi was generous enough later on, they would be able to talk about their birth but until then, they would just be four warriors who were in their way to punish everyone who had come up against them.

"Stuff his mouth with a cloth and let him be there. I already created a boundary around him, so his magic is useless, not to mention, I forced the bond he shares with Razia and he can feel his sister's pain… all the Shadow warlocks can feel the pain of their siblings.

"It's just a matter of time before they show up," Malika said and Mbali nodded in understanding.

She was aware that Malika was the best in everything she did, and even then Mbali couldn't help but wonder what life was like, being loved and protected by Malika.

"Where's Elodie?" Malika suddenly asked when she realized that the love of her life wasn't here with the rest of the team. She had been so preoccupied with everything that they had fused to realize that the woman was missing.

"Oh shit… she was the reason they left us here," Rukiya suddenly said, pulling back from Hawi's shoulders. She had been resting there for a while now, but then the mention of Elodie Kane had woken her up for her sorrows.

"You gotta be very specific, Greyson," Malika said and Rukiya looked at her defeatedly.

"She went to the lands of the protectors to seek help. I told her it was a terrible idea, but she said she was your mate and that we stood a better chance if she went to the protectors to ask for help.

"I didn't believe her at first but when she managed to camouflage herself and even turn invisible to the point that Atticus couldn't see her, I believed her. She should be in Olyana by now," Rukiya said and Malika began pacing.

She couldn't believe Elodie could do something that stupid. She couldn't think straight and frankly, she was pissed. What the fuck were they thinking sending a mere wolf alone out there on one of the most dangerous of missions?

"Why the fuck did you let her go? What the fuck is wrong with you two? Why the fuck would let her go to the protectors ALONE????" Malika asked furiously. She looked like she was about to lose her mind.

This wasn't happening to her; this just couldn't be real.

"Whose idea was it?" Malika asked as she stared at Mbali and Rukiya. She looked like she wanted to strangle them for answers even if they were together. It was a crazy thing to do, but what else could they do?

"It was hers goddammit. We were being attacked left right and center and the magic was making our warriors lose their minds. They were crazy when the attack began and Kane couldn't stand it anymore, okay?

"She said something about Hawi always coming up with a solution and she left for the protector lands. I don't know where the fuck that is, but I have a feeling she lied to make us believe her.

"Besides, she could have betrayed us. She could have been the one who triggered this mess! She could have done all of this!" Mbali said and Malika stared at her like the woman wanted to die so badly.

"Don't you dare talk shit about my mate, sweet Lihle or I might just forget that you're the only reason I had to kill our entire family. Watch it sister," Malika growled and Hawi sighed tiredly.

She understood the tension and knew how dangerous this was, but what else could she do with this bunch? They were the only ones left standing in a long war that wasn't even halfway done.

They weren't even done with the Sicairos yet and yet they were ready to poke each other?

"Don't you talk about MY family like that," Mbali growled out in warning. She knew family was a sore subject to most of them and Mbali was trying her best.

As much as she entered them to figure this out, and as much as she knew Malika owed Mbali answers, Hawi knew this wasn't the time for that.

Their lives were full of secrets, most of which they would have dealt with along the way, but right now the only thing that mattered was that they had survived and would make sure that they didn't lose anyone else.

"Elodie is the only reason I knew you were being attacked. My sister is no traitor, Mbali. Don't worry," Hawi said calmly. Her tone wasn't full of anger and it was the kind of calm that scared anyone.

She was talking rationally like she was starting a fact that they all needed to come to terms with.

Hawi trusted Elodie with her life regardless of everything that had happened. And she was very aware that Elodie would always choose her over everything, which was also why she knew that Elodie was the reason this bunch survived.

"Well, this is awkward," Elodie suddenly said, as she carried Hawi's bloody crown and the royal clothes that Hawi had left home with four years ago.
