The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[HAWI]

"What the fuck just happened?" Theo asked as he watched the dying man on the ground, with no one to even help him. They were the most powerful creatures in the realm and yet as they stood there they were as useless as they could overcome.

It was like their lives didn't have meaning and for some reason, that was disturbing more than any possible reality they could have found themselves in. it is like they didn't have a say and yet had a say but didn't know how to be expressive.

"Why aren't you helping?" Adolf asked as he looked at the mess before them.

He had long known that insanity was bound, but this was not one he could have imagined. It was like the whole world was some circus and they had to be there just to see how hectic it could ever be for them.

This was not fair to anyone, but what were the standards of fairness when his alpha and best friend had died in a battle that wasn't even meant for her? What the fuck was he even supposed to express, and to who?

"He's dead. There is nothing we can do about it," one of the horsemen said before he looked at the other one, and together, they pulled the masks off their faces. They were awfully familiar to the Savasci knights starring pitifully at the man on the ground.

They were protectors from Olyana.

They were the people who had been sent here and yet they didn't defy any rules and commands.

They had the power to defy what Hawi said, but the repercussions would be worse than anything they would have ever seen, because the head protector was there with them and she knew it was them.

Malika was intelligent enough to know how her people dressed up, smelled, and whatever the fuck was in them, and what they held.

So she wasn't even surpassed, and as she walked forward to her fellow protectors, they stared at her, respect in their eyes as their friend on the side evaporated like there wasn't a thing that could be worse than that.

They were a little too comfortable with life and the shit that life came with, but what if that was why this was happening in the first place?

"What do you want, Kadiam?" Malika asked as she looked at her comrades. She knew that there had to be a really good reason for them to be here and while she had a pretty good idea what this could be, she wanted to hear what they said.

She wanted to know that she wasn't hallucinating, because this would be the worst of things that could happen to them but at the same time, perhaps it was the only thing left for them to do, right?

Or was there another way around it that she had tried to make sense of over the past three months they had been living in an empty pack?

They had been together but they had been lonely and so fucking depressed that it was not even surprising that the protectors were here. But Malika wanted to hope that it was for a different reason.

"You know why we are here, Leader. You more than anyone should have prepared them for it," Dumi said and Malika sighed. Her worst fears were coming true and she could already feel their eyes on her.

Then again, how the fuck was she supposed to tell them what was expected when they hadn't even mourned Rukiya properly? They had taken turns taking care of the beautiful body, but that was because a part of them had hoped that things would be alright.

They hoped that someday Rukiya would wake up and call the bluff, but no heartbeats for three months in a world where life meant everything, was not something that they could hold on to any longer.

It was the worst of scenarios, but the time had come to a stop for them. This had to be done.

"It's too early. We need more time, Dumi. we haven't even had the chance to mourn. You can't be coming here like this," Malika said tiredly as she looked at her comrades who were staring at her softly.

They understood what loss was and they knew firsthand what it felt like because they had lost more people than they could ever count on their hands. But was this what they had come to really? Was there no other option for them?

Surely in the cache of madness, there had to be something they could hold onto. Something they could use to breathe through the cruel if they had led for those three months.

Grief was the one thing that the Savasci knights had been all too familiar with in one too many ways. They may have been the strongest team out there in the realm, but they were also the most broken of all the teams.

They had lost more than anyone could comprehend and it could explain why Rukiya was such a shock to them. Then again, would it ever come close to the sorrow that linked them to this? Would it be worth it at the end of the day?

"You know we can't let you have more than three months, Malika. We have to do this before they send more after us, because they will. Kira is dead so they will want to question us.

"We can shift the blame on the Russels, but that won't be enough to keep them away from here. We have to take her," Kadiam said as he looked at Hawi who was standing there looking like a ghost.

She looked so terrible it was impossible to tell whether this was the same girl the prophecies had talked of. She was different. Way too different that it was a heartbreaking sight.

None of them deserved this, but then what else could they do about it? Time was of the essence and the wolves had to come home someday. The Greyson wolves needed to know of the misfortunes and frankly, this was something that they had or have felt.

A lot was happening but then they hadn't even embraced the chaos. Perhaps that's why it was getting a little hard to get emotional with a lot of them.

"Please show us where Rukiya Greyson 's body is," Dumi said and Hawi's eyes almost bulged out of their sockets. She had learned what they had come from the moment she had read their minds, but she refused to accept it.

There was never a life without Rukiya for her, she believed that there wasn't a thing she would do to make things better for Ruru. it was strange really, given how things had gotten for them but then Hawi couldn't be blamed.

She had been hoping all this time that her Rukiya was alive and that she just had to wait it out a little. But now with these warriors here, Hawi was being forced to accept a reality so cruel.

There was nothing that would stay for the sake of them and boy was it the cruelest of all things. Perhaps they could find a common ground in between? But how long would the common ground last when the rules this time won't ever be broken?

There were so many risks involved and there were people who needed to get back to their normal.

Life was shit and they had long known it, but damn if they failed to understand the chaos that had lingered from the moment, they had brought down the dome.

But even with the dome up the protectors would have found their way because of Malika and her link to the realm. This was all just so fucked up.

"Don't even think of taking my Ruru," Hawi wanted and the Savasci knights watched in shock. They hadn't seen this side of Hawi in a really long time. Gartner It was just three months, but that was like hell for them.

They had struggled to make ends meet one too many times and yet even then there wasn't much they could say about it. What else was there for them this time anyway?

"Hawi…" Malika began, her voice soft and filled with defeat and reassurance.

It was almost like Malik was trying to tell her in the softest way possible that the protectors wouldn't be able to leave without Rukiya, no matter how many of them Hawi killed as they came. It was a relay that Hawi needed to keep.

But then how the fuck was she even supposed to do that when she was still in denial about what had even happened?

It was like they were buying time but they were out of their premium because this was the one thing they couldn't ever deal with that easily. Oh, but it would hurt for some time, or maybe it would hurt for as long as they lived?

"I can't let them take her. She's Not dead. She is just sleeping. I need to be there for when she wakes up," Hawi insisted defeatedly as she looked at Malika, hoping that her protector would be able to speak the words that could breathe hope into her.

It was a struggle for her, and it was one that made Hawi feel like her chest was constricting. There wasn't much that she could do and it broke Hawi silently. Was this the end of the road for her and the love of her life?

Was this show things would be for her and Ruru or was this just a bad dream?

"I'm sorry," Malika breathed before turning to her comrades, "Proceed with caution."
