The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[HAWI]

Staring at a confident Jeremiah, Hawi thought back to the times that this man had been the love of her life and it made her cringe a little too hard.

She couldn't believe that there was once a time that she wanted to spend her life with this man, but at the same time, she was just glad that she had managed to snap out of it.

Now that she looked at him, she couldn't help but wonder what kind of brain cells Jeremiah Warner had to be used like that. She wasn't pitying him, no.

She was truly curious because there was nothing about Jeremiah that screamed intelligence and even as Hawi beat the shit out of him, there was no denying that life meant a different thing for Jeremiah.

"You think your magic will help you?" Jer mused as he tried to block Hawi's hits and failed.

He was fighting for his life and if it wasn't for the magic from Atticus, Jer would have long lost his life in the hands of the woman who hated him in ways more than life would ever be kind to him.

"Oh, please. Even without my magic, you're no match for me," Hawi said and the warriors looked at her like she had lost a part of her mind.

That had to be it because no one in their right mind ever tried to give up their defenses right in the middle of a war. That was unhinged and Awuor Hawi had to have wanted that too. She was truly something else.

"You wish," Jer said confidently, making Hawi smirk at him. She was pissed about a lot of things and had been looking for the perfect way to lash out. Murdering the Russell warriors was just not enough for her and she needed more.

Fighting with Jer was something that Hawi hadn't planned for.

Sure, most of the time she was doing things for the sake of it, but then as long as the Russels were still alive her vengeance against Jer wouldn't mean shit, it was a difficult decision she had forced herself to come to.

Hawi had assessed the citation and everything that she would gain by eliminating Jer. Granted, she just wanted him dead, but if Jer was dead earlier than the Russels, they could always find another person and make into a Jeremiah.

And Hawi would have a never-ending supply of enemies to deal with. That wasn't there she intended for, especially now that she had mat that she was never going to let go.

Rukiya Greyson was the reason she was more determined to end this war as soon as possible. Hawi knew it would take time, but damn if she said she didn't think it was the craziest thing for them out there.

Perhaps that was why she did what she did while she fought with Jeremiah Warner, the man who had jaunts come to raise that Hawi was fighting him, but it wasn't a fight to the death.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Jer asked as he took a break from his fight with Hawi like there was a reminder that they needed a break in the war that had cost the Russel brothers their entire army.

It was pathetic of them really, given the protectors had already eliminated the army on the sacred island, not to mention the fact that right now they didn't matter as much.

Or maybe that was what Hawi intended to make them feel so they could question everything they believed in and more.

"You're useless," Hawi said as she kept blasting him.

She didn't have the time to deal with him, but then at the same time, she was excited for some reason. It was crazy how she had done everything to clean up the bunch of people who had fucked her up.

Yet the one person who had been right there when it happened, the trojan horse that had been planted in her life was still existing and breathing with so much audacity. But was that something that Hawi wasn't aware of at the moment?

"Watch this," Jer said as he blasted his magic at the barrier making the warriors and the Savasci knights behind the barrier. It was almost like Jer was tired of living his life, because there was no logical reason for him to try and fuck himself up like that.

'Oh, he didn't…' Hawi said to herself as she watched throw far on the faces of the warriors. She couldn't believe that Jeremiah Warner wanted to take more people from her life just because he had tasted some magic.

It was something that she wasn't about to forgive and she hated him for that. And as she stared at Jeremiah throwing magic balls at the only people she had left to call family Hawi's pain came back to her.

The raw pain and the shit she had gone through when she had lost her mother hit her like the first time like she had never truly exhaled, and perhaps that was it, because there was never a day when she had stood to think too much about the past.

Whenever there was a mention of Jeremiah, Hawi acted like life was always going to be filled with butterflies and pretty unicorns. However, right now she knew that He wouldn't stop, and she hated him even more for that.

And so, in her rage, she shifts into her wolf, something she hadn't done in ages. Read the latest on empire

"Holy fucking shit," the warriors on the other side of the barrier facepalmed as they looked at the bear-sized white wolf in front of them. She looked so huge and pretty you would think that she was friendly, and perhaps she was.

But this time, as she looked around to see the reactions to her white wolf, Hawi had long made the decision, she would not back down from a mere Jeremiah.

She hadn't endured all that shit only to be bested by a half-wit rogue she had given a status to when she accepted him as a mate. Oh, but she was raging.

"What the hell?" Jer asked, taken aback by the size of Hawi's wolf.

He had done his homework on the white wolves that came once in a lifetime and he knew damn well that they are not this kind of big. Grants were cow-sized, but that was all that Jer was to them.

The white wolves from the previous lifelines had however been bested by the Russel evil and they never made it to their full potential. It was like the Russels had long learned to and eliminate them when they were kids, and boy did that save them a lot along the way.

"I think we're fucked," Alex whispered as he watched the white wolf before them. From the look on his and his brother's face, it was obvious that they had never seen a fully grown white wolf like Hawi. Hell, she was larger than a fully grown Lycan beast.

No one could have prepared them for this, because even Malika, Mbali and Rukiya were surprised to see Hawi like that. And when Hawi let out a warning growl as she glared at Jer who had long stopped basting the barrier with Atticus' magic, Jer was certain he was screwed.

"That's our cue to get behind the barrier," Malika said and Mabli and Rukiya followed her.
