The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[KIA]

"… They did what no one had managed to do in tens of thousands of years and suddenly you are confident about what this could be for Rukiya Alone?" Dumi said with a disbelieving laugh.

He couldn't believe how dumb this bunch of people were willing to be. It was one thing to be in denial and another to choose to be a piece of shit that was so dumb the universe wouldn't align in their favor.

No one in their right mind would want to be on the wrong side of Awuor Sicario and her mate and yet they were here acting like three hundred years had been enough for the crazy Sicario girl to have changed and gotten mute and soft.

Perhaps it was the price of insanity for them because what the hell were they even supposed to make of this?

"They had their time—" the council member began, only to be stopped by Kadiam's sudden slam on the table. He looked pressed and defeated because he knew that this was not the time for them to be trying to make shit make sense.

They couldn't even reach out to the goddess because there were just some things that were too shameful for them to even start talking about with their creator.

"That's enough. We have our orders and we have an hour. If you want to risk the safety of your pack members you are free to do that but don't think the protectors are going to join your insanity.

"The protectors are sworn to protect the white wolf, and in case you forgot that, the White wolf in this case is Awuor Sicario. She is in the realm and just pray she doesn't point us in your direction, because you won't even have a tongue left to defy her if that time comes.

"Now finish your breakfast in silence and do what is expected of you," Kadiam said with a tone of finality.

He was shocked at the exchange by Rukiya but he didn't deny that plotting against the white wolf wouldn't end well for all of them, especially if Baie already knew that the woman in the palace was her mate.

This was just him trying to save the lives of all the people at this table and more. The stakes were too high and the risks wouldn't be worth it. The sooner they realize that, the easier it would be for them to get through the coming days.

They all definitely didn't want to make an enemy out of Hawi. That woman was insane personified and she was a way for home for so long that no one honestly knew what she was capable of anymore. And that made her even more dangerous.

"Fine if you insist. But I still think we could have gotten far by leveraging the amnesia queen. Besides, who knows if this is just another episode of hers when she has her identity crises and she isn't sure of what that means and tries to wiggle her way with threats?" the councilman from earlier said and Kadiam tsked.

This wasn't the time for them to be taking such stupid gambles. There had been occasions when Ruru regained her memory but in all those times she hadn't threatened to go to Sicario let alone talk about the child they had forced on her.

That was the only reason why Kadiam was sure that this time her memory wasn't going to be fucked up again. It was impossible and they just had to wait and see. And so defeated they all dispersed after breakfast and readied themselves for whatever was coming.

There was no telling what Hawi would do but one thing they were certain about was the fact that regardless of what needed to be done this wasn't the time to be with Awuor Sicario. This was the time for them to be careful and steady in their plans.

"Your majesty, it is done as you ordered," Kadiam greeted half an hour later when he was summoned by the wine to accompany her to Sicario. It was an honor on one end but I thought it was a test for Kadiam.

He knew that he could be killed by this woman since he had not been that straight up with her, but he was counting on the fact that despite what she had gone through as an amnesiac queen, she would remember the fact that they had nursed her back to life.

And that too at a time when her immortality had become a pain and her bond to Hawi had been her greatest weakness. Still, there was no justification for what they had dined and that was what was eating at Kadiam even until now.

Maybe, just maybe Rukiya Greyson wouldn't doom him, right?

"We'll be going with my portal. If we go with yours, we won't get through the wards of Sicario and you might actually really die from it all. As much as it is a tempting idea, I am not in the mood to soil my wear right now," Rukiya said ignoring what he had just said about the portal and the kid that she ordered returned, and Kadiam chuckled.

Even when angry, Rukiya Greyson was still the same age. Maybe those were things that never changed because they were a part of who she truly was. The universe was a bit tricky for them over the tears but in all that time they had created binds that sanity would be jealous of too.

Maybe that was also why a part of Kadiam was excited to see this new version of Ruru — well it was still the version he had known before the amnesia episode but still, it was new to them again — and see how it would impact all of them and the gates altogether.

"Alright your majesty," Kadiam said.

Rukiya cringed at that, like it wasn't something that she had expected from Kadiam. Perhaps an aspect of her still looked at Kadiam like a protector who was simply doing his job and making sure the realm was in the right hands, right?

"Just because I have all my memories doesn't mean you address me like some soulless bastard," Rukiya said but Kadiam wasn't sure if that was a good idea. He had seen the woman in action more than once and he couldn't even think to say anything about it this time.

Perhaps he just needed time to get through the day, no? Then again, no matter how things got this wasn't going to be easy for him, seeing as he and Dumi were the ones who had come with her from Sicario back then.

There were so many things that they needed to keep in mind and Kadiam was right to be scared. This was the craziest time of the year for him and no one was coming to save him.

And so, in silence, he watched as the werewolf queen created a portal back to Sicario. He wanted to stay behind and not face the wrath of Hawi, but he knew he owed it to Rukiya to be the one to get her back home.

After all, whatever fate there was for him he could only hope that Malika was there to save him. Maybe it was a crazy time to hope but a man with nothing to hold onto, Kadiam knew he had to think, and fast.

"Goddess help us all," Kadiam said as they both went through the portal.
