The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[HAWI]

"Look at them, Malika…. Perhaps they should join the circus in the town hall, what do you think?" Hawi asked and she laughed heartily at them, making them wonder what the hell had gotten into her.

It was ironic really how this was the first time they were seeing this other side of Hawi, and they were worried about what the fuck could happen to the lot of them, because honestly, they didn't know if Hawi was going to forgive them, or let them burn in hell.

There were so many things that they had to admit they never accounted for and right now insanity was peaking at them once again. Surely they didn't expect that the land would be filled with flowers when they had taken all that could have meant life for the woman who was holding them captive, right?

"Whatever decision you make is the right one," Malika said as she looked at Amina and then at Sebastian who was holding on for dear life and one who was ready to give it all up for the sake of Trey's happiness.

For the first time since she began going on the long trail of madness with Hawi, Jabali Malika was conflicted about what to do with all of this chaos, and Hawi knew that from the way Malika was staring hopelessly at her.

Mlaika was hoping to see her sister again and at the same time, she didn't want Mbali to be heartbroken when she eventually reunited with her. If she was being honest, Malika was tempted to free Amina, but her sister would undoubtedly hate her for that.

She was at a crossroads for so many instances that it was tearing her apart in ways more than she had ever anticipated. Perhaps she just needed to face her truth, but what kind of truth would that be? Betrayal?

Well, even so, the fact that Amina was closer to her sister than she ever would be was haunting Malika, especially since this right here was her only chance to know where her sister was.

That shit was eating her up, but they couldn't deny the truth that was glaring right at them with the markers that she needed to pay heed to as always. The chaos had already started and it wasn't possible to back down at this point.

Besides, the white wolf would always be able to find anyone, right?

"Alright, I'll just lock them up since they want to die together. Maye that will give them the chance to use their heads ad figure out whatever the fuck is wrong with them that they are hated so deeply by many.

"Hell, even those who didn't know their names hate them," Hawi said while Alex looked at her like she had gone bonkers. They had come this far for the Sifir and now they were being locked up in a damning cage that would probably end their lives in days? This wasn't fair.

"I'm not going in there unless you release Trey to go be with his mate. You more than anyone know what love means and how love can be so addictive. Let him have a taste, even once. Or don't you want your dear healer to be happy?

"What will he do when he realizes that you were the one who took out his mate?" Alex tried to reason and Hawi chuckled in realization. They were all ready to do anything for Trey.

The youngest Russel was clearly their weakness and it was more than obvious to them which was also the turning point for Hawi.

"What do I get if I spare your younger brother then?" Hawi asked amusedly. She knew this was not even what they had imagined, but she could see that these people were willing to go to war for Trey. Explore new worlds at empire

"Whatever you want from us. Be it our heads, or souls. Anything, just please, let him have a chase to know his mate. We won't mind whatever comes our way after that, as long as he is happy," Sebastian said.

Hawi let out a light laugh. She could relate to their loyalty, because even she would give the world for Elodie and Dom, if her brother were alive. Sure, they had their disagreements and shit, but she wouldn't even hesitate to protect her sibling.

Now all she had left from the bond was Elodie Kane and Hawi would die first before she let anyone cause her best friend pain.

Perhaps it was the kind of loyalty that fucked up, but then at the same time, Hawi was fiercely loyal to the people who were loyal to her, and Elodie Kane was definitely that person.

"Y'know, I read the books and studied you a lot for years. I learned that Trey, your youngest, spent his entire life training. He is your best warrior; he is the most skilled among you.

"He can defend himself and the fact that you're willing to beg for me to let him live, means that you want me to release him to Hudhayfah and then you'll use their bond to break all our hearts, just like you used Jer to fuck us up," Hawi said calmly.

The Russels were staring defeatedly at her like she was bonkers. They knew she could sense the sincerity in their voices and their intention was as pure as it could be for their brother.

They could tell she understood the repercussions of the bond and yet even then she was still not willing to strike a bargain with them. Perhaps this was because of the pain they had forced her into, or maybe, just maybe Hawi was truly a cold-hearted ice queen.

But was that all there was to this?

"Oh, come on, Awuor. You can feel the sincerity and we're on sacred grounds. We can't lie if you haven't figured that out yet. The three of us, for Trey's life. Isn't that too hard a bargain for you?

"Even if it's humiliation you desire for us, we are willing to take that chance and be humiliated for as long as you wish, just let Trey go," Amina insisted defeatedly and Hawi chuckled.

She couldn't believe that they were willing to bend the knee to her in the temple just to see their brother happy. Happiness was the one thing that had evaded all of them, be it the Savasci knights of the Russels.

Now here they were hoping to the goddess that there was more to the lives they had fought to live then what was really there for them.

Perhaps it was a cruel fate they refused to give into, but even then, how long were they supposed to keep up the fight? How long before the skies turned against them and the realm's need overpowered their wishes and desires?

"I need a better deal than that, Amina. You know you people dying doesn't mean shit to me. I already planned to kill you all away, so asking me to spare his life for yours doesn't give me shit," Hawi said like they were talking about the weather while they were covered in blood.

It was an insane relay but insanity was Hawi's favorite position in her own life. Perhaps this would help these crazes remember who was the most unhinged of them right?

"We'll hand over the Sifir," Alex said and this time, Malika let out a hearty laugh.
