Chapter 266: No More Wasting Time
[SICARIO]
[Fifty-six months ago]
The unhinged Sicario Alpha, Awuor Hawi, had just won another battle against the rogues and she was giving her father the reports. Her body was still covered in the blood of her enemies and there wasn't a scratch on her.
It was almost like she had gone to battle against a group of fluffy bears, only that they were the most dangerous set of the rogues. She had cleared them all, with her best friend, Elodie Kane, again.
It was like the two women were born to go to war and win it. They were proud as was expected of the alpha and her warrior best friend. However, while they were giving reports, the alpha's mate was busy in the corridors to the Sicario dungeons.
"She and Elodie murdered them all," Jer stated like it was the expected outcome of whatever was happening. He couldn't be blamed though. This Alpha was not one to come home until she heard the last breath settle and fade.

And with her best friend in tow, they were easily the most dangerous women on this side of the realm. They made everything a hell for people who wanted to go against them and yet more always tried to best the two friends.
"I see. She has grown stronger and I can't get through to her best friend. I'm assuming it's some shield, but then she is unaware of who she truly is. So, she can't have created it," Razia stated as she stared outside the next window.
The plans to bring down Alpha Awuor had kept failing over and over because of how powerful the woman was. They had tried everything, and each time the outcome was the same; they would always lose.
This wasn't a streak they needed to be proud of because with battle came experience and if the mad woman was winning all these battles, then it was just a matter of time before she was too strong.
"There's nothing you can do to her now. Even the mate bond doesn't affect her in any way. I'm afraid you invested too many years in me for nothing. Perhaps I should fall back?" Jer asked, not liking how the situation was getting.
He had grown to know the woman he was mated to and he would be lying if he said that he wasn't scared that someday she would just decide she hated how domestic of a mate he was and kill him.
She was the most unpredictable woman he had ever met, even worse than the warlocks who had him doing their bidding in Sicario. He was scared of the day when Awuor would learn of his transgressions.
He knew she wouldn't ever forgive him and that was something he didn't want to experience, ever. It didn't matter what was at stake, he could just request to be assigned to some other wolf, right?
"You can't fall back now, warrior. We have managed to mess up with her brother already, and he couldn't even start a fight with her," Razia said and Jer looked at her as if to tell her that this was what he was talking about.
There was no telling what was happening with the Sicario siblings really and it was scary to even watch. Perhaps there was another strategy out there that didn't involve him sharing the same bed with the psycho who could ruin him in a blink, right?
"I didn't mean to have to do this, but with no other options left, we have to explore the Eniola option," Razia said and Jer stared at her like she was insane. There were so many other options out there.
"THE Eniola option? You have got to be kidding. You do realize you're sentencing us to a definite death in the hands of the mate that scared the fuck out of me, right?" Jer asked as if he was trying to make Razia see sense.
There was still time for them to think of something else, and Jer knew that he would do whatever it took, and press all the buttons to eliminate them if ever they explored that option.
Jer knew Luna Eniola was the queen of hearts in Sicario. She was humanity personified and if they fucked with that, then they could as well start praying for quick deaths at the hands of the woman Eniola had born.
"Yes, the option. You need to make sure that it happens tomorrow. We are out of options at the moment, and if we stay the execution any longer, we will be fucked a little too much. I know it isn't easy, but she's my friend.
"I know what that pain means too," Razia said to Jer who just sighed before he began pacing. He was being asked of the impossible and he was to adhere to it all. Perhaps if the sun went down, there were still going to be extra options for them?
Maybe if the world became brighter, Razia could consider putting them in harm's way? Or maybe this was the only option because fate was a bitch and there was more that met the eyes?
Jer wasn't sure really.
All he was certain of was that this had to be the craziest idea he had ever heard of, and if this was going to be done, he could as well hold a prayer for his soul for when the mad woman came after them. Because he knew she would come after them regardless.
"Okay then. I have to go back before they notice I'm gone. Someone's gotta play the loving mate to the powerful psycho alpha, in the hope that she doesn't slay me in my sleep.
"Goodness, I don't even know when things got this complicated," Jer sighed as he looked at Razia one more time before he left. He needed to get a hold of himself as he went to the gym.
He wasn't sure how long he had been with Luna Razia, but when he walked into the gym and saw Awuor Sicario there, he felt all the blood drain from his face. This woman was dangerous and he was about to go against her.
Perhaps he could take his own life and spare himself the truth that was bound, right?
"Oh, there you are, baby. I missed you… I came from battle and didn't see you," An excited Awuor said to the mate she loved as she looked into his eyes which always held love for her.
Today was no different because she could see his affection in his eyes. She always thanked the deities for being so kind to her and for giving her someone she could rely on, someone who would always be there for her.
Jer was it for her, and she would always be thankful for that.
"I was out looking for flowers for my princess," Jer said as he suddenly felt flowers in his hands making a mental note to thank Razia for coming to his aid that fast. He wasn't sure what he would have done without the warlock.
"Aww, that's sweet of you," Awuor said as she pecked Her on the lips, ignoring how bloodied she was. She loved this man and he loved her too. He had been her shield in so many situations and expectedly, he was what home looked like for her.
He was her home.
"Lilies for my warrior princess," Jer said as he handed her white lilies.
