The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[HAWI]

Hudhayfah looked at Adolf, the words from the young wolf's mouth reminding him of what he had once gone through. He knew deep down that this wasn't meant to happen and he understood very well the consequences of this shit.

But even then, he didn't deny the pain that it was giving him and them. They had been here and they knew what to do.

And perhaps they were coming off as ungrateful for the sacrifice the girl had made, but surely, they had grown together one too many times to understand what was needed for them and how they always worked, right?

"What now..." Elodie said as she watched her sister on one end and her mate on the other. Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire

This was something they were desperate to avoid but it was there with them, staring at them in the face ever so harshly you would think that this was some competition they had managed to fail at so spectacularly.

It was a heartbreaking moment for all but none would ever come close to the horrors that they had to deal with.

"We bury her since we can't burn her," Hudhayfah said and Elodie barfed. She had never thought that there would ever come a day that they would be having this discussion about one of them.

It was cruel and it wasn't something they wanted to face. Then again, no matter how long they tried to hide their truths, this would all come to pass.

They had to deal with it before the madness grew, and then wouldn't be able to find their way around it all. It was cruel, but it was what life looked like. It was the reality and they had to face it.

"No. That is too soon. The Russel brothers haven't even burned completely and you want us to bury her? I suggest we clean up the pack while we wait for a Hawi to wake up.

"That will give us time to take a break since none of us is feeling sleepy anyway," Mbali said, voicing what had truly happened for the first time since they had been staring at each other in shock.

They had all been scared of voicing it out because if they voiced it out, then it meant that it truly happened. That in itself was a reality that was so full of pain and they could only ever hope that all would be well. What would be the cost of all that though?

"I'll take both Hawi and Rukiya back to the pack house. If this is going to be their last goodbye, then we at last leave them be for one last time," Malika said, ignoring the pang in her heart at the mention of the goodbyes.

They had all believed that Rukiya Greyson was the best thing for Hawi, and maybe she had been too good for all of them.

When Hawi had given Jer the command, Rukiya had breached. She had rushed to whet thy wet and grabbed both Sebastian and Alex, and stood right in front of Jeremiah. It all happened too fast but what had happened really happened.

None of them could tell if this was something they needed to cry about or even feel relieved about because two more Russels had taken the hit. It was a confusing moment for them both because in all their lives they hadn't ever anticipated a moment like this.

The obvious decision that had happened was obvious, true even if they blamed each other, it wouldn't change the fact that Rukiya Greyson had sacrificed herself to make sure the two Russels didn't take away her mate's humanity.

Rukiya had assessed the situation and she knew that Hawi wouldn't have stopped at just Jer. She would have done things that would have made it harder for her soul to even find relief.

It was a sad moment for them but what else could they do? Rukiya had made the choice and while it was not clear how the hell, she had managed to figure that out, they still couldn't understand what had been her motive for all of this.

Oh, but it was a time that they all wanted to be free of, but then people didn't always get what they wanted, right?

"We'll get on with the cleaning," Adolf said sadly as he looked at the woman he had served his entire life. She was his best friend and that one person he was certain would burn the world down for them and all that she loved.

It was just sad how she had sacrificed herself in the process, to make sure the realm was working well. It was a sacrifice that will forever haunt the Savasci knights, because they didn't know what would happen with Hawi.

Or maybe they knew but they just couldn't accept it that soon. Accepting this would also mean that they were ready for Hawi to have the longest grieving period in all of history, but then what else was there for them?

They didn't have a choice in this. They never had, and the more they tried to work things out, the more it was obvious that shit was always going to be insane for them for the longest time and they had to be ready.

"War really is cruel," Elodie whispered as she watched them get back to cleaning up the pack. The Russels brothers were slowly getting reduced to ashes while they were not sure how the hell they would live the rest of their lives.

Granted, this team had been formed because they had all lost something and they didn't want to lose more than they had lost the pin of the greatest pillars. It was impossible to tell what they had to wait for because this time, it was different.

It was not even about the Sicairos anymore because the fate of the entire realm depended on the unconscious white wolf who chose darkness over her reality. She couldn't be blamed though.

This wasn't what she had imagined and this was the kind of history that no one had ever prepared her for. Perhaps that was a good enough excuse for the depressive looks on their faces, right?

"I'm sorry," Jeremiah Warner said as he watched them get so defeated. He hadn't intended for this, but at the same time, this wasn't anything different from what he had been tasked with.

It was insane really how he had gotten like this and annoying as hell. He was supposed to be the one who was defeated and the one who got the brunt of his karma.

However, as the Savasci knights tried their best not to watch as Malika picked up both Rukiya and Hawi and carried them to the pack house, they couldn't help but wish it was Jer instead.

This was not fair and even Jeremiah Warner could see it all celery.

Then again, his apology wouldn't ever fix shit this time, or maybe he was apologizing because he could see that he was at his weakest, right? What the hell was he supposed to even do for them now that he had managed to fuck up?

"Walk yourself to the Sicario dungeons or I will take you myself, and I swear on everything we already lost, that you will never get to use your eyes and limbs again," Zaniel warned and Jer forced himself up.

He could feel the rage from Zane and he knew he wasn't bluffing.

Maybe this would get him grace from them?
