The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[KIA]

The palace walls were silent after the Queen's return. Queen Kia had not said a word to her people like she always did which was strange and even more confusing because the palace was used to a beaming queen.

Perhaps it was because of all that had happened in Hernia but even that made sense because Kadiam and Dumi had felt the memory reset. They didn't say a word though because they had been here before and they knew the procedure.

But Kia not talking to them made it harder for them to understand whether she remembered what had happened or if she was just the silent queen they had gotten to meet this time.

"Your majesty, the girl—" Kadiam began when the queen was heading to her chambers.

That girl was the only reason that the queen would stop everything and change her mind but this time she just stared at him, her eyes empty and unreadable like the world was suddenly shifting from black and white to a myriad of things that she couldn't understand.

It wasn't normal but did Queen Kia even know that part of her life at the moment though?

"… Is asleep and you have no official business following me to my chambers. Get out," Kia said, her tone colder than Kadiam had ever heard from her in the past three hundred years.

It was the kind that got chills running down the protector's body and he faltered for a moment. This was something he had not expected, and the fact that there was no smile on the Queen's face was also something that honestly scared the living lights out of him.

This was not how things were meant to be and Kadiam didn't see himself having a good enough reason to lay forward to the werewolf queen.

"As you wish, Your Majesty," Kadiam said, only to realize that Kia had stopped or waited for his response.

Instead, she slammed the door to her chambers so loudly that the palace walls shook.

This was not supposed to happen, and that too at such an early hour of the night.

Beyond her walls, the werewolves and protectors were not sure what the fuck had happened to the queen but they all had the same thought this time; the queen looked like Rukiya Greyson, even in the way that her eyes had scanned them earlier that day.

There was the disdain that had always been in Ruru's eyes over the years for what she despised and they had seen that today. An amnesiac queen wouldn't know her true nature, so this was shut out of their reach.

Would they be able to survive her though, if she happened to have all the memories?

"Hawi?" the queen asked herself for the first time since the mind link had opened up suddenly.

She hadn't expected such a thing because of her amnesia, obviously, but the mind link that had been opened suddenly made way for all her memories to come back to her.

She had seen the way the people around her had been aching when she was without her memories and it pissed her the hell off because they hadn't even dared to mention that Hawi was back in the werewolf realm.

Then again, maybe they hadn't expected that she would remember anything just like she herself hadn't expected it. All of that had been so fast and as she stared at the door, she had slammed.

She wasn't sure what else was being hidden from her.

What Rukiya could appreciate herself for, however, was the fact that she had maintained her composure with everyone. She hadn't slipped up and she had mentioned the fact that her memories had been forced back on her.

"I miss you so much, my beautiful," the werewolf queen heard Hawi whisper lazily, and that was also how she knew that the mind link opening up was never Hawi's intention.

The love of her life was so defeated that she had left herself in the hands of fate, which always happened whenever Hawi was tired or scared of losing Ruru and she didn't know what to do about it.

"I miss you too, baby, so much," Ruru whispered determinedly as she looked at the pale walls that stood between her and her woman. Her first instinct back there was to create a portal to the new Sicario and embrace Hawi. Find adventures on My Virtual Library Empire

For three hundred years her mate carried the burden of her demise and it was something that Rukiya was starting to hate herself for.

Her amnesia had made her mate disappear and run away, as she recalled what Kadiam and Dumi had told her of the most unhinged white wolf that ever lived.

They had talked about Hawi so cruelly, like Hawi was just another social experiment by the goddess that had fine wiring. They spoke of the love of her life like Hawi was all insanity and unlovable when in reality Rukiya understood her more than anything.

Her heart was broken for Hawi and as she looked at the walls once again, she made herself a promise to ding the love of her life and bring back her smile. It wasn't going to be easy given Rukiya didn't know that Hawi knew she was alive, but she was determined to let her know.

She would do whatever it took to make sure that all was well for the girl she loved with everything she had and didn't have.

"I'll come for you, please wait for me," Rukiya said one last time before she shut the mind links.

As much as she wanted them to open up for her communication with Hawi, she wouldn't want to risk having Hawi burn everyone who dared to mess with Ruru.

I was the only thing that Rukiya could do for the both of them while she braced herself for the possible explanation of why she had made the sacrifice.

For years she had questioned the cause of her amnesia and she had been told that she had been in the long war and that the crazy white wolf had hurt her. And for years she had spent her life worrying about the return of the crazy white wolf who was deserving of the throne.

Of course, Kadiam had comforted her then, and told her that the wild woman never wanted the throne and that was why she was there, but now that Ruru thought of all the lies they had been spun to her amnesiac self, Rukiya felt herself gag.

They had made her woman out to be the worst of all monsters when in reality she had given up everything so the realm could be balanced.

"I'm sorry, Hawi," Rukiya whispered to no one as she thought of her mate. She knew she was the most important person in Hawi's life and she expected that Hawi would burn down everything.

Of course, there was no denying that the thought had obviously crossed Hawi's mind, but the fact that she had chosen to leave, to walk away just to heal first, instead of burning down everything that reminded her of Ruru, spoke a lot of how Hawi had changed over the years.

Oh, how Rukiya was proud of her mate.

She knew it had to have taken a lot of strength for Hawi and she appreciated that fact a little too much.

Then again, she was the girl with the most powerful mate in the entire realm, she had earned the right to be proud of Hawi, and the right to love the girl who had taken her to so many highs without breaking her heart.

"I'll find you, I swear it," Rukiya mumbled as he forced herself to sleep. She knew it wasn't going to be easy and that all eyes would be on the both of them, but so much time had passed and Hawi had been hurt for the longest time.

She had to make things right for her, for the girl who never stopped looking and hoping to see her again. She had to find the girl who had mourned her for three centuries and never once stopped because of her woman.

That right there was the girl she loved and she didn't care if the moon goddess would try to keep them apart. She didn't care if the universe would try to fuck up their bond because she wouldn't stop like the last time.

This time, Rukiya would fight for Hawi.
