The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[SICARIO]

"You should have known better than coming after Sicario, Sebastian," Hudhayfah said with a smirk as he stepped on Alex's neck, something that got Seb staring in shock.

Who the fuck were these people they had come to battle with and how the hell did they manage to be that fast and unhinged?

"You all are crazy," Alex whined as he regained consciousness and the Hudhayfah off of him with his magic, but it didn't affect the man in any way. It was like the healer was impervious to all magic, and this didn't take any god for the Russel brothers.

This wasn't how they were defeated here in Sicario.

"Oh yeah, get in line. You might meet even crazier ones once they come to Sicario," Hudhayfah said as he blasted Latex with his magic so hard that Alex sprained his leg.

Hudhayfah was still brutal even then to the point that Sebastian had to step up and save his brother. They were with the magic of their siblings but that didn't mean that Hudhayfah was still never going to be able to kick their asses.

This was the greatest of the worst decisions they had made, especially with the way their warriors were falling like flies.

The Sicario warriors didn't have any magic so it made no sense to Sebastian that they would be this strong and even have the upper hand despite everything.

This was not fair.

It was not what they had bargained for, but then the longer they interacted with the people of Sicario, the more they realized that there were levels of insanity that the Savasci warriors would always find themselves in.

And it was the kind that got the moon goddess staring in shock and pride at the same time. Perhaps he could try that, right?

"For someone who doesn't know where the fuck his Perihan is, you sure have a mouth on you," Alex bit back bitterly as he stared at Hudhayfah, who had faltered in his steps.

Of all the things Hudhayfah had been expecting in war, hearing that word, was not it. He had struggled to keep up with everything that was happening. He had taken a lot of energy and forced himself to come out of the shell that had been with his mate.

Sure, he wasn't giving up on his mate, but he couldn't let his mate be a distraction to him in the worst battle of all. That would mean he failed his friends and frankly. They would be worse than any betrayal they had ever experienced.

This wasn't how life was supposed to be, but what were the chances that Alex was bluffing?

It was a cruel thing for him to suggest right now, given what they had done to Trey, but perhaps this was the only way to make sure they had a higher chance of making ends meet.

The leader had to fight back and he had to figure this out on his own regardless of what happened.

"Oh, yeah? And what's even that?" Hudhayfah asked as she decided to fight Alex on his own.

He was angry that the man had dared to mention that right now. Even if it happened that Alex was his mate, bringing it up on the battlefield was a low blow, one that got Hudhayfah despising the warrior even more.

This wasn't how wars were fought, but he shouldn't have expected any more from a man who was wanted by the moon goddess for several crimes against humanity.

Their swords hit each other, the sheer force of it creating waves in the air, signaling the warriors around them to feel the brunt of the magic. However, they didn't stop to check the healer and Alex fighting.

That wasn't the time for that, because they had all known that some of them would fall. But before they fell, they had to make certain that a good number of the Russell warriors fell too. It wasn't even a bargain at this point.

"Don't let him get into your head, Hudhayfah," Drew said as he joined Hudhayfah in fighting Alex. Drew had been listening to the talk and he knew there had to be more to the man here.

Besides, there was a lot that was lingering in the air and with the tension, it was already bad enough that they didn't know what they fuck would be happening any minute now. This was the kind of rage that even the hell would be cared of exploring.

It was bad, and not good at the same time, but more than anything, it was the horror they couldn't let themselves get into., not at this point in time.

"I'm not that weak, Drew, don't worry," Hudhayfah said as he swung at Alex so hard that Drew figured that this was for those with magic.

He didn't have any magic on him anymore and he wasn't about to risk coming in between two creatures so powerful that they could bring down the other packs.

Of course, Sicario would have been collateral damage, but the warriors here would never let that happen either way. It was insane and ironic at the same time, but more than anything, it was the kind of thing that none of them had ever expected.

"Well, my brother was so weak for you that he didn't even try to fight when we put him in the Cezaevi because of you. He was the best of the warriors we ever trained. He was our wild card, but when he heard your name from Amina's lips, he went numb and couldn't think.

"You managed to get my brother to turn into a vegetable by just that mention of Perihan. And we both know that a warlock with magic and with too much stress, ages faster than the candle can ever go off," Alex said as he laughed at Hudhayfah who refused to believe him.

This wasn't the time for the both of them to be playing this very expensive game and regardless of what happened, a past of Hudhayfah hoped that Alex was just joking with him.

Then again, there was a chance that Amina really knew what he was, who he was and that is why she had been staring at him intently in the past weeks.

Amina had watched him like a hawk the night they had gone to a party outside of Sicario and Hudhayfah had assumed it was because she had found Hudhayfah intriguing like everyone always thought of him and his magic.

He had never thought that they would be able to make that happen. It was a cruel reality and for a moment, Hudhayfah wanted to call this a distraction.

However, the rage and the disappointment in Alex's eyes when he talked of the brother who couldn't make it to war, was so obvious and so filled with a desire for murder that Hudhayfah couldn't help but think that there was that possibility.

Perhaps he was thinking too much. Perhaps he was over-assigning things but what were the odds that this was just a joke for them?

"Oh, please. Who the fuck hasn't heard the name Perihan? It's not like anyone ever assumes that of anything. Perihan is one of the common names out there.

"If you decided to lock your brother up, it's a shame on your end, because here I am, kicking your ass and you can't do shit about it," Hudhayfah said proudly, though he was raging too.

He hated that there was truly a possibility that Alex wasn't playing games with him. He despised the fact that maybe just maybe this was true. Hell, who was he kidding? They were in a war that determined the fate of the realm.

Of course, they would use every single weapon they had on the enemy and in this case, the enemy was Hudhayfah, especially to the Russels.

Hudhayfah was so important that the Russels couldn't even think of harming him, because if they harmed Hudhayfah, they would have a niece who would want them dead and one who wouldn't think twice before making them pay.

Rukiya was dangerous just as Hawi and the fact that she had toned down a bit, made them wonder what the fuck she was thinking. But at the same time, Sebastian had wished that Rukiya would have some sort of awakening that would help the win the war.

But would that ever happen when Rukiya hated her mother with all of her?

"Whatever floats your boat, healer. You and I both know that I am not lying. Why did you think Maiana was adamant about coming to the mission too? She wanted to be sure that you were Trey's mate.

"And when she confirmed it earlier, she decided not to step into the battlefield, because she knew she would be a liability to our mission. My sister gave her magic up because she couldn't bear to see the pain in Mbali's face whenever we won.

"My brother, my sweet little Trey, gave up his powers because he didn't have the balls to come and meet you for the first time in battle. He said he couldn't trust himself, that he was certain he would side with you, a man he had never seen and one he had only ever heard of.

"He couldn't risk the family for you, because if he stepped here, he would fight us. Just think of what you did to my brother, you old hag. Who the fuck even paired you with my sweet little brother, huh?" Alex growled.

Hudhayfah had just heard enough, he hated what was happening, he despised it all but more than anything, he hated the fact that Alex was rubbing in his wounds so cruelly and wouldn't even let him think.

So, Hudhayfah chose to fight speechlessly.

It was, after all, what he was good at, right?
