The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[SICARIO]

Anger was the first thing she felt when she woke up in the middle of Sicario, filled with the familiar scent of friendly wolves. She hadn't imagined that this war where she would be fighting her battles, but it never made sense.

She had been on the ship with them, only to find herself in her bed in Sicario was one of the most insulting things to her. And Mbali was pissed. She wanted to get out there and ask the questions of why she was here, but she could smell the confusion too.

The sailors they were with on the ship and come to Sicario and there had been an explosion, at least that much she had heard from everyone.

When they had gotten her out of the ship, she had played dead because that was the only way for her to know what the fuck was going on and why in all hell she was out there with her Mistress serving her.

She and sworn her life to protect Hawi, she had made sure that everything was right and the fact that she was here in Sicario pissed the hell out of her. The last time she had seen the band together was when Rukiya and Hawi were busy getting horny with each other.

Everything else after that was a blur and Mbali hated it. She had never had missing memories and her sister wouldn't have sent her back home.

Malika knew how this was important to Mbali, how she wanted to be there to make sure that the Russels didn't fuck with her mistress, so there was just no way that her sister had been the one to send her here.

And if it wasn't her sister, then who was that audacious to get her to this side?

Oh, Mbali was fuming.

'I need to find that damned captain,' Mbali said to herself once she was sure no one was coming in her direction. However, just as she pushed the shoal off of her, she heard the one voice that wasn't even supposed to be in Sicario at the moment.

'Rukiya? What the hell is going on?' Mbali asked herself as she rushed back into bed, and pretended like this wasn't the craziest of positions she had ever been in. Hell, no one had prepared her for this kind of life.

"What if she really is dead, Rukiya? What will we tell Hawi? She will forever blame herself if she loses Mbali. You know that too," Elodie said to Rukiya who gently pushed the door to Mbali's room. The woman who had been awake atelier was back to pretending.

"Mbali can't be dead. Can we please not talk about her like the dead? Hawi is the white wolf. She has power over life and death. We can't lose Mbali because even if she is dead, Hawi will not let it happen.

"Hawi cast a life force spell on all of us. So, it is impossible. Whatever it is, we have to figure it out before Amina decides to do whatever the hell she was planning when she threw her mate into the ship that was bound for Sicario," Rukiya said as she walked in.

She refused to believe that Mbali was no more. Maybe it was because she had seen Adolf again and wasn't sure what the fuck was going on. Or maybe she just chose to believe that Mbali was still in love because she couldn't take on losing another person.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

There were so many maybes, but at the moment, the only thing that mattered was for them to figure out whatever the fuck was at play here.

"She has been in the same position for three days. Surely you can't understand why this is strange," Elodie sighed as he plopped on one of the sets in the room. She was done hoping for miracles.

She couldn't take any more, and if Rukiya told her she needed to have some faith once again, she would probably smack the living daylights out of the Greyson alpha. She didn't have the time for all that this time, truly.

"Wait, don't say another word," Rukiya said and Elodie stared in disbelief, but she did as Rukiya asked of her. She wasn't sure what Rukiya was aiming for but right now, she was going to wait and see whatever the hell was going on.

"On second thought, what if we tell Hawi that Amina is the enemy, the true enemy in all of this?" Rukiya asked as she walked around Mbali's bend but the document saw any changes that would make her believe that there was hope.

But even then she wouldn't let go.

"Are you asking me that? I thought you said to shut up?" Elodie asked rolling her eyes.

"Come on, Elodie work with me. Hawi is on that island with fifty thousand protectors, but then there is an army of rebels that are on the side of the Russels. There is no doubt that their evil will overpower the protectors as they always have over the years before Hawi.

"And we can't pretend and say that Hawi will share more life forces with the protectors. She will be drained. And you know if they overpower the protectors, then Malika and Hawi will be on their own on that island," Rukiya added.

Elodie stared at her in confusion. This woman was unhinged on so many levels but then even Elodie knew there was a certain type of chaos that could only come with the crazies in their band of misfits.

"if you're saying that to try and wake Mbali up, believe me, it won't work. I tried it one too many times and it never worked. Hell, I even sent a warrior to come and tell her that you were in Sicario, but we never got any response.

"So, this is just pointless," Elodie said hopelessly.

She was done trying to wait for anything that could make them feel better. They were in war and war never had mercy. War with the Russels was always bloody and the forty books on the shelves were proof of that.

"No, I'm not doing this for Mbali. I'm trying to understand. Remember earlier when we were talking about Amina probably getting Mbali here, what if we are unable to wake Mbali up and Hawi and Malika get overpowered?

"Hawi said the next time we could step on regular land again if the war went on was forty years. If the protectors are eliminated, the forty years won't be enough for them to survive the rage of the Russels;

"… Not to mention their minions on the island," Rukiya said as she plopped on the couch next to Elodie. She looked so serious it was scary and Elodie was once again reminded that there was never going to be anything good for them in war.

"But Hawi… Hawi can't die. She is immortal, right?" Elodie sighed in frustration.

"She is, but so were all the previous white wolves. If they were defeated, what are the chances that our broken little girl with anger issues would not fall to the same fate? Remember how hard it was to keep Hawi in check the last time she was pissed?

"What if they use that against her, especially now that I am not even there to be the voice of reason for Hawi? What if Amina uses that as a weakness against her? What if all of this was just to make sure Hawi remained vulnerable?

"Think of it," Rukiya stated and Elodie let out low growls. She was starting to despise every single thing that had Amina written all over it. It was almost like Amina Russel was the one person who's a sound to doom them.

That wasn't fair, not after everything Hawi had been through.

She deserved a happy ending, but why did happiness seem to hate Hawi all the time? Why did it feel like no matter what Hawi did, fate would always be there to remind her that she was unwanted and chaotic?

"They would pull Malika from the battlefield, because Malika can't be replaced—"

"But Hawi can. They have proven that one too many times with the endless protectors they chose over the years, so this wouldn't be any different," Rukiya said defeatedly. The odds were definitely not in their favor.

"One more word about Awuor being eliminated and I will wring both your necks, I swear it," Mbali groaned as she sat up, much to the shock of the knights in the room.
