The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[HAWI]

"He's Hudhayfah's mate! If you kill him, you will not only be going to war with the greatest healer of all time, but your mate, Rukiya Greyson will never forgive you for that!!" Amina shouted and everything came to a standstill.

The grip that Hawi had been having on Trey loosened and the Russel brother dropped to the forums along with his jaw. He was not sure he had heard his site right and assumed that maybe it was because of the heavy blood rain and the raging red-haired wolf.

However, as he looked at his sister, he couldn't breathe. Trey felt like everything was falling apart. There had to be a problem somewhere because this was impossible. There was just no way that this was real.

They had seen the healer of Greyson one too many times and never once figured shit out, so there was just no way that Amina would know before him.

But then again, Amina herself knew how important it was for Trey to find his Perihan, the man who had evaded him for more than seven hundred years. He had the fastest and had to meet his mate, and Amina knew that firsthand.

The was just no way that Amina fucked with him like that, right?

"What did you just say?" Hawi asked as she walked over to where Amina was. Some words were too important to let the winds carry, and while the storm had slowed, the anger was there and the confusion was still visible on her face.

Of all the things she could have thought possible, this way definitely not it. And judging for the shock on Trey's face too, Hawi could see that none of them had known this.

Hell, Alex and Sebastian, along with Malika were staring at Amina like she had a lot of explaining to do. Even then how the fuck could she have stopped Hawi from killing her brother then?

"Trey…" Amina began and Trey, who had struggled to cast a spell to fix himself up, looked at his sister, the shock still on his face as he tried to make it all make sense. He wasn't sure if this was the truth, but then Amina wasn't the kind to blabber like that.

"Answer the woman, Amina. What the fuck did you just say?" Trey insisted and Amina sighed. She had planned to tell them the truth once they got out of the island, but then things had gotten complicated and she couldn't feel her mate.

She had been preoccupied.

In all fairness, Amina hadn't thought that Hawi would be this angry with them. Well, they had taken her family for her, surely she didn't think that they would all be cuddling under the sun just because life was filled with love and light on the other side, no?

This was not something that happened regularly and it was unsettling, to say the least. Either Amina was a good illusionist or this was what she hadn't imagined. At least she wasn't alone in that anyway, right?

"I'm sorry, Trey. I know how Perihan is important to you, but I couldn't let her kill you without knowing the truth about him," Amina sighed as she ran her fingers through her thickened hair.

She felt sticky, but that wasn't even the issue right now. Her reality was distorted already and there was a chance that they would never be able to survive this but what else could she do? Her brother was someone important to her.

Hell, her family was important to her and she couldn't lose another brother. It was already bad enough that Jeremiah Warner was in the woods with Kurt, while the other three had died.

They couldn't afford more losses, which was why they were here. Perhaps they could have just avoided this damned island altogether, right? But then the cipher was important too.

"Who the fuck is Perihan?" Hawi asked and Amina sighed. This was not going to be easy.

"My brother's mate, Hudhayfah Karim. You don't have to trust me, and I honestly don't need you to trust me, Awuor. The only person I need to trust me, is my brother," Amina said as she looked at Trey who was still trying to come to terms with her words.

It wasn't an easy thing for him to do and it hurt a little. He was already wondering when the fuck his sister had found the love of his life, and how the hell they had gotten to this point without Amina ever mentioning him.

It sounded so selfish of Amina but perhaps she had a good reason. Then again what reason was there when she herself had joined the battle because she wanted to see Jabali Lihle, who even she couldn't feel at the moment.

"Why now? How long have you known? I poured my heart out for you. I told you things I never told anyone. I told you just how Perihan was driving me crazy and how desperate I was to find him. You knew it from the onset.

"I never hid shit from you, and yet you found him and still didn't bother saying a word? Who are you and what the fuck did you do to my sister?" Trey asked earnestly, the pang in his heart making him feel like he needed to jump over a cliff to feel something.

His heart was breaking and he still wanted to know more.

He wanted to understand that there was a truth to this. Hudhayfah was important to them and slowly they realized that the universe was a botch for pairing them with each other when they were supposed to be the best of enemies.

This wasn't fair in any way and it broke hearts all over.

"I learned about it the day I went to the party for the crazies, Trey. I didn't know that he was your mate. I didn't expect that it was him, ever, but then when he said I smelled familiar and he looked at me and called me Perihan, I knew it was him.

"I wanted to be wrong so badly, but then the signs were there. I looked into him, the most eligible healer of all time who could fix himself up. He had changed, and he smelled just like you had described he had gone back to being the twenty-six-year-old he had been when you met at that ball.

"He was who you had described and I was scared of telling you. I didn't know it would be like this, Trey. You know I would never do anything to hurt you. I care too much about you to break your heart," Amina said, her tone changing as she looked at her brother who wasn't even looking at her this time.

It was like Trey Russel had gotten the worst realization and he needed time to think. Then again., they were at war, so there was just no way that they would finger this out like that.

"She's got to be lying, right?" Hawi hoped.

"No, she isn't Hawi. Hudhayfah was looking for Perihan. Elodie mentioned that that was why he had gone back to his younger self, in the hope that his mate would find him.

"He thought his mate was human and was reincarnated, until Farida told him that his mate was one of the Russels," Malika responded gently as she studied Hawi. She had known the woman so well and knew this would not go easy for her.

"I guess he doesn't want me then," Trey sighed defeatedly.

"Impossible. You're everything he ever thinks about. Elodie said that he was so obsessed with finding you that he cast counterspells just to figure out who you were. He knows you are a Russel. But that does not seem to be a problem for him.

"Hudhayfah has always been a sucker for love. His kind heart is the one thing that sets him apart from every other warlock out there. I bet he is the light to your darkness. It's just sad that you had to be enemies," Malika said.

Hawi stared at her protector, hands on her waist as if to ask the woman what the fuck she was doing. They were at war and yet they still managed to give each other reminders of who was the enemy and who wasn't.

What the fuck was even going on here at the moment?

"The greatest force in the universe is love… you taught me that!" Malika said when Hawi's glare made her feel like she was suffocating.

"Take me and let them be… I orchestrated everything to ruin your family from the very beginning," Sebastian's five interrupted the confused bunch, reminding them of why they were here in the first palace. damn.
