The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[HAWI]

"Rukiya??" Jer breathed, as his tears fell down his face. The impossible had truly happened and along with it, a chain ration that got everyone there wearing faces that would forever haunt Jeremiah's wolf life, or whatever is left of it.

"I have never seen her like that," Elodie whispered, her tears free flying too as she watched her sister on the ground, her eyes puffy from the shock and the tears. She lied like she had been to hell and back and needed someone who could help her.

It was not what they had imagined for Awuor Hawi, but what had happened didn't exactly come across like the best of things for the lot of them anyway, right?

This was not something that any of them would ever have predicted and they were right to be in shock, because what the fuck were they even supposed to do?

"We won, but at what cost," Rio whispered as he sat on the bloodied ground, staring at the bodies that were left on the ground, the same bodies that had been targets and yet, among these besides, was the one body that shouldn't have been there.

It was something that not even the strongest of them would ever live through. Funny how the strongest of them was already unconscious because of the instant grief and the sound of a broken heart.

This was terrible, and it wasn't something that anyone would ever look forward to. This was hell, a different version of hell and the kind of hell that got even the devils in tears.

"It all happened so fast," Mbali said as she struggled to catch her breath while she bent and held her knees to keep herself steady.

The shock of what had happened was still reeling in her body and frankly if she didn't try and hold her knees, Jabali Lihle was certain that she would lose her mind and fall. She would not be able to wake up because this was the worst thing that could ever have happened.

"Why did she do that," Theo asked as he looked at the chaos that they had never expected. Granted, the Warner parents were dead and gone, but the price for that was that they would never recover form.

They couldn't even hate on Jeremiah because this time, the crazy rogue was innocent. It was something that they wouldn't have imagined thinking because Jeremiah was supposed to be the bad guy.

Hell, he was the worst of the worst and yet right now, as he sat on the ground, his hands only having the blood from his mother, Jeremiah Warner was innocent of the greatest sin in the real world right now.

"How do we even bounce back from this," Hudhayfah wondered as he held his head between his knees, the defeat so obvious and the loneliness suddenly hitting the full force.

There was a huge stroke of lighting that was adamant on hitting their dome, but that was the last of their worries at the moment.

Hell, even the rain didn't seem like the worst brother for them because there was something that they couldn't even find it in themselves to voice with ease. This was something they would never recover from.

This was the kind of cruel madness that even the fates had to be held accountable for.

"Burn the bodies, except THAT one" Malika said to her sister who was staring at her in sadness.

There wasn't much they could do at this point because this was the kind of pain that would take a lot of time to heal, and even then, they would never be able to recover from it.

This was not how shit was supposed to be but fuck everything was so screwed up it was disheartening in the worst of ways.

"We'll help," Zaniel said as he held Adolf's hand in his, as they walked over to where the pair of bodies were. The impossible had truly happened because there was so much change and yet so many hearts had been broken in the process.

If there was a time when the goddess needed to come and figure this shit out with them, then it had to be this moment. Surely, they couldn't have any other crucial moment than the one they were in, right?

Oh, but it was a blend of a lot of madness. It was the most unhinged phase and yet it was something that they had been headed to.

"It shouldn't have happened, not like this," Malika said as she looked at her mistress, the girl who had chosen to knock herself out instead of embracing what had really happened.

They had never thought that they would ever be back to this point, but they were. This was more than any of them could ever comprehend and it was going to be a lonely eternity for a lot of them.

"She made her choice, Malika. There is nothing we can do about that," Hudhayfah said as he looked at them. He could tell that their hearts were hurting, but he also knew that there wasn't much they would ever be able to deal with right now.

Their hearts and minds went all over the place, their thirties trapped in the saddest of realities to have ever existed. This was something that they shouldn't have had to experience and they didn't like it. Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire

They wanted a different outcome, and yet as they watched their friends keep their work, they couldn't all believe that they had really gotten to this point.

"That wasn't her choice to make. She didn't have to do that. She shouldn't have done that. She should have trusted us. She should have waited because we are a team, Hudhayfah.

"We have been at war for the past twenty-seven hours and we were soon well. We were holding on well and we could have won. She just needed to trust that we were all going to get through this.

"She shouldn't have made that choice for all of us, so don't you defend her. She took… she took HER happiness with her. She knew that it would do to HER and yet she had made the choice.

"She was selfish, Hudhayfah. That is not what people who trust each other do. We all knew what we were expecting when we came here. We lost friends and people in the battle, but we didn't make the cruelest decision ever.

"That is on her she shouldn't have done that. She didn't have the right to make that choice for us; don't you dare defend what she did," Theo said angrily as his tears and rage made a show.

He hated what they had become and more than anything, he had that one of them had made the sacrifice that she shouldn't have. He knew they could have won. And he was right the Savasci knights were ready to lose their lives in the fight for what was needed.

They had braced for it for years on end, and right now, this was just not fair.

"I'm not defending her—" Hudhayfah began and Adolf cut in.

"You are and that's not fair. We all came here for the war. We came to fight together. We lost so many people along the way and today, we didn't need to lose someone else. And yet we did. Why the fuck did she sacrifice herself, huh?" Adolf asked angrily.
