The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[HAWI]

"I really hope that is the truth, Malika," Hawi said softly as she kept watching the kids like she was trying to be positive through it all. The kid at the Olyana palace was probably just a figment of her brain, and that Islinda had been messing with her.

Then again, the moon goddess knew how explosive and protective Hawi was when it came to what was hers. She understood the broken girl one too many times and there was no denying that Hawi wouldn't ruin everything just for the girl in the palace.

Maybe that was why Islinda had told it to her, but was that all? Surely this couldn't be just another game by the goddess when she knew so damn well that Hawi could easily go to Olayan and claim her mate and restore her, right?

"Well, it's just the first night, so let's all have fun!!" Mbali said excitedly, her tone making the knights let out laughs as they joined her. They loved her for her party spirit and right now, that was all they needed.

As depressing as it was to remember what had happened in Sicario, there is no denying that they needed to get out of that side of life and embrace their current reality. It wasn't going to be as bad because at the end of the day, that was all life could be for them.

Happiness was, after all, the only thing that mattered more than anything in the lives they lived, right? Stay updated through My Virtual Library Empire

"Let's party!!!" Zaniel said and the knights got up to join the other wolves at the center, determined to make the most of the night that their queen returned.

These celebrations were the best ways for them to let the world know that they were no longer sad; and to Adolf, this was for that damned queen to know that the queen of Sicario and the realm had returned.

And that Kia's days are numbers on that throne that wasn't hers.

It was investing, rally but Hawi did have the courage to let them know what this truly was. She wanted to learn from them and let them know that she had come home because of her Ruru, and that the girl in the Olyana palace was the love of her life.

She just couldn't do that, however tempting it was for her.

The night was frankly filled with so much excitement and she thought that coming clean would mean they could get depressed faces because of her grief, but that wasn't her intention.

So, she didn't say a thing.

Instead, Hawi dared to hope. There were a lot of things that she needed to address and embrace before she got herself back into her position as the last of those nut heads, but then had to wait.

She had to be patient with herself and let herself live in this illusion.

That was what this was to her because if the news arrived of the Salvadors and their intention with the realm, the knights would be forced to go back to war wearing thigh regalia, not to mention worrying about the fate of their people.

It was their job, sure, but Hawi didn't want that for them. She just wanted them to be happy because, at the end of the day, love was all there was for them to hold onto, right?

"You seem deep in thought, Hawi," Sherry, who had chosen to stay back white knights and the Russels wanted to dance, said and How turned to look at her with a smile that she had practiced over the years.

"I just can't believe I am home again," Hawi said, her tone almost indifferent, but it was something that Sherry understood. Three hundred years away from home and coming back to a place without her mate was something that Sherry couldn't question.

She knew it had to have taken a lot of strength and determination for Hawi to make her way back home to a people that had been linked to her and her mate. Only that he had lost her mate and her wolf was never going to be the same again.

It is a truth that would forever haunt them as survivors, but what else would they do?

"I know you, Hawi. Something is eating at you. Did you come home because of the Salvadors? Were they the ones who brought you out of your grief?" Sherry asked once everyone went to party.

She was being surprised with her people one too many items and it wasn't good.

Then again, she was almost forgetting that she had trained them herself. She had molded them into the best versions of her and that they could probably read into her like an open book.

It was something that Hawi had done one too many times, but damn was it scary being on the other side of the inquest.

"I don't know what you're talking about, Sherry. Tonight is really a beautiful night. Let's have fun alright?" Hawi said with a tone of finality and Sherry just smiled as she patted Hawi's back gently.

This couldn't have been easy for the girl, but just like the other knights, she hoped that Hawi would be fine no matter how long it took. That was their only way of hope right now, because otherwise they would be doomed and there was much that they could do about it at the time, right?

"Alright then, we are all here for you, if you need us," Sherry said in earnest.

"I know, Sherry, I know. Thank you," Hawi said as Sherry got up and left her.

As her friends and people danced the night away, Hawi couldn't help but be thankful for them. She knew they cared about her so much just like she did them and she hoped that they wouldn't press her for more than she could say.

Then again, she already knew that if they wanted to know why she had just left, she would explain. The Greyson wolves had been Hawi's greatest worry since she hadn't gone there in an expansion for what had happened.

With Sicario, it was easy because the Sicario wolves had grown to love and trust Hawi, however blindly they had to. It came naturally to them but for the Greysons, Hawi couldn't tell why they didn't hate her.

She had done so many things and she knew that they probably despised her for how she had left but Hawi had sworn to herself that if the Greyson wolves ever demanded an explanation for what happened with Ruru, then Hawi would try her very best to give them a proper explanation.

She would try her best to let them know what she knew even to this day, even though she still didn't understand why Ruru sacrificed herself for her. It was something that kept haunting Hawi, but for the Greyson wolves, she would find a way to the answers.

She would let them know that she wouldn't take another mate even if her role and the queen demanded that she do. Maybe that was the one thing that made Hawi insane, given how she had threatened the moon goddess, Islinda.

But it was no secret that Hawi would walk on fire again if that was what it took for her to meet her Ruru and bring her back to their people.

Life had to go on either way, right?

Oh, but if only.
