The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[HAWI]

Night did change to morning a little faster than Hawi had anticipated. As her friends had partied and even found themselves sleeping, Hawi had stayed wide awake like she wasn't in the mood to get some rest.

Her mind was plagued with thoughts of the girl she had loved with all of her. She wondered whether her Ruru was sleeping well at night or if she was tossing and turning wondering if her lost enemies would ever come.

Part of the deal that she had made with Islinda demanded that the queen be reminded that she had lost her memories and that they would eventually come back to her with time.

It was something that was meant to give her Ruru hope so that if she ever got flashes of memories, she wouldn't think that she was going insane. It was a selfless act but Hawi felt like she had been very selfish with her Ruru.

She would have just made the decision herself and taken back her Ruru, but the humanitarian crisis beyond Sicario that she triggered was something that he was determined to fix first so it wouldn't burden her Ruru.

Maybe there would come a better day for her and her Ruru but until then, Hawi would spend the rest of her lonely life thinking of the wolf who made her smile without putting in so much effort.

"She didn't sleep the entire night," the wolves whispered among themselves, their hearts shattering for the girl who had lost more than they could all ever imagine. None of them would ever bring her the solace she needed and they knew that too.

Perhaps that's why they had spent the night taking shifts to keep her company, Hawi had already noticed that because even her friend had taken shifts in sleeping just to make sure she didn't feel alone.

Granted, they didn't say anything in the time of their shirt other than act like they were staying awake and wanted to keep parking.

But Hawi knew this a little too well. Granted, her heart had swelled at the thought of them keeping her company, but she knew that they couldn't do this forever. She didn't want them to be walking on eggshells around her because that wouldn't be fair to them too.

They had families they needed to take care of and Hawi and the knights to keep her sane.

Surely that was enough for her, right?

"Good morning," she said to the wolves who were watching her intently.

"Morning alpha," they responded in unison before they went back to doing what they had been doing best, which was to watch over the broken girl. Hawi wanted to explain to them that she was fine, but she had a feeling they wouldn't believe her.

She wasn't fine but only because she missed Ruru so much it was almost driving her nuts.

'They're so kind, eh?' Hawi thought to herself as she felt like everything was about to finally make sense. The wolves were treating her like she was not the girl who had fought the war and hurt them the most.

But then like the knights had not talked about the chaos, so would Hawi not attempt it. There was no use going back to the past and depriving themselves of the possible happiness that the present would bring.

However, deep down, Hawi was preparing herself for the moment that she would have to talk to them because they hadn't been camping out there just because they had nothing better to do.

They needed to tell her and she needed to say something, but would she be able to?

Oh, it was a challenge and Hawi wondered if they would be satisfied with whatever they had to say to them. It was a challenge and she wasn't about to act like it wasn't scaring the fuck out of her at the moment anyway.

"Good morning my neighbors!!!" Rio shouted, waking up everyone who had still been sleeping. His voice reverberated across the entirety of the new Sicario and it felt like someone was trying to blow their brains off, a gesture that they all didn't appreciate.

The knights were eager to react as they cussed him and threw pillows at him, making the poor warrior run to hide somewhere among the people, but the reactions were the same.

And soon it was chaos because the entire camp was awake and they were after Rio or cussing him out for being insufferable in the morning. They ran around for half an hour before Amina silenced them all by offering food.

It was an offer so simple but one that got everyone back in line, once again proving to the Russel siblings that where food was involved, the Savasci knights were goners.

Anyone would think they were starving when in the real sense, they could conjure their food whenever they wanted to and felt like doing so. But where would the fun be in that, right?

"Sit at your tables or you won't get shit," Amina wanted with a smile and the new Sicario wolves obediently listened to Amina. Just like the previous night, they weren't scared about getting poisoned by the Russel siblings.

It was like suddenly they didn't have different last names and were just here as one community which was the new Sicario community. It was a beautiful sight, even as they faced each other and embraced the change like it was nothing.

Hawi's heart swelled at the sight once again, the unity making her feel steady once again. She wanted to say so much, and do so much, but she had just come back home, and she could tell that her people didn't want her straining herself.

What the hell was she supposed to do?

'Oh goddess, what is happening?' Hawi asked herself when she felt her eyes water and her sight get blurry. It was honestly strange to her that she almost felt like there was something coming for her people.

So instinctively, she conjured her blades, careful not to draw the attention of her people and her friends but they knew her a little too well.

"You're okay, Hawi. No one is coming again, you're okay," Elodie said softly to her sister who was looking at her in shock and confusion. It was ament of weakness for Hawi and it broke their hearts at how defensive she was ready to get.

Mbali, who had been watching Hawi in silence, felt her heart break for the girl before them. It had been so many years since she had seen Hawi like that and she knew that it always happened because she was overwhelmed with emotions.

That was also how Mbali knew that right now, the only emotion that could have Hawi in that state was related to Rukiya Greyson. It was a thought that hurt to the core and Mbali could only pray to the goddess to heal her friend.

"I… I don… I…" Hawi fumbled her words and Eelodiejust pulled her into a hug. She knew that this wasn't easy for her sister and hoped that Hawi would let her in along with the others. They would find a way to help her, if she needed to.

"I'm sorry… I just… Ruru would have loved to see us like this," Hawi sniffled.

And in that gentle noon, Hawi shed her first tear home.
