The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[SICARIO]

"...We will be your executioners if need be. And if it so happens that we fall at the opposition's execution table, then let it be known that we fell with honor while fighting for the greatest wolf to ever live," Rio said confidently.

He sounded like this was the one time he didn't have to think about anything, and his captain stared at him and then at the remaining dailies who were in unison with the agreement.

It was a generous one no doubt, but Captain Drew knew it was better than he had expected and the only thing he had left, was nothing but pride in the team he had chosen to cross the seas with.

Perhaps in another life they would have peace and love their days on the water as they had planned and hoped for, right?

"That is settled then," Hudhayfah said before he turned to Elodie;

"We need to get the people of Sicario out of the pack. This won't be a war that will be easily fought, it will be messy, and given the shit we are dealing with, there is only one place that can hold over millions of people at the moment.''

He was clear and wanted to deny the possibility that the people would be hurt.

She wanted to say that the Russels wouldn't try to play dirty and do things that would force the Sicario civilians out on the streets where they would be forced to live the worst of experiences.

However, she knew that it was a truth that was still staring at them and they had to make sure that it happened, regardless of what they had to do.

"But we don't have the time to evacuate the entire pack to Olyana. That will take a while, don't you think? Elodie said as she stared at Hudhayfah. She knew this wasn't the best of ideas and they were truly out of any possibilities.

"There was a chance that they would have to take the risk, and the chance that they wouldn't be able to get the Sicario citizens out in time," Elodie said as she tried to think. .

The more she forced her brain into work, the more she realized how terrible an idea it had been for them to give up the magic that Hawi had kept on them to protect them.

Maybe they were overthinking, but whatever it was, this wasn't the time or even the place for them to start asking the dumb questions.

They had to act before the Russels found their way into their home because that was the one thing they were certain would happen. It was just a matter of time before everything went to shit anyway.

"We can channel our strengths and make it happen. I'll create the portal and we will hold the portal with your strengths to make it easier," Hudhayfah said and Elodie looked at the warriors in the room to ask them if they were open for this. It was probably too hard on them a lot and it would make their lives a little harder if the battlefield was staring at them.

But then perhaps it was just what they all needed to get clear of the chaos by the Russels either way. Besides, whatever got the job done, right?

"Great. Let's get on with it then. Time is not on our side," Elodie said as she led the way out of her office.

She hated that this was happening, but at the same time, she knew that it was a necessity for her and that no matter how they answered things would go. Nothing would ever be alright because eventually, they had things to consider.

However, as they braced themselves, a portal suddenly opened right in the middle of Elodie's office bringing the warriors to a halt. They suddenly went high on alert, readying themselves to cross anything that came out of the portal.

It wasn't much for them to consider, but this time, as they stared at the portal, a part of them hoped that it wasn't filled with their enemies.

There was a lot for them to consider at this moment sitting down with people who wanted the worst for them wasn't exactly making things any better.

"Olyana?" Hudhayfah asked right as the Lycans and Adolf, who had left earlier, walked out. They looked like they had seen hell themselves and like there was still more that they needed to figure out.

Life itself wasn't exactly being kind to them and no matter how many times they tried to pretend that this was what normal looks like, they knew it wasn't. This wasn't what the future was supposed to look like.

It wasn't how life was supposed to feel after so many things that had happened in the realm. Hell, if this was how the sun was supposed to rise or even set on them because it wasn't pleasing at all.

And the fact that it was evening and darkness was nearing, didn't exactly sound like the best of ideas at the moment. Perhaps there was still some way they would be able to make sure the realm didn't explode under their care, right?

"What do you mean Olyana?" Rio asked and Adolf and the Lycans stared at each other like they had just missed the train station to hell.

Perhaps they had stopped in the right place, but was that supposed to be comforting or crazier than the fact that life itself had turned out to be messy and shitty from the onset of the chaos?

Was that supposed to make them feel like the world was theirs to conquer or was it meant for them to realize that perhaps at the end of the day, they all had more to keep and hold onto than they were ever going to let them cleave into?

Oh, the burden of a fate so simple yet so sophisticated at the same time.

This wasn't what life was supposed to be like and there was no telling what it was meant to be, after all they had endured over the years. Perhaps retributions did have better angles than this?

"Is everyone alright? Are you grazed or anything?" Zane asked and the Lycan warrior just nodded as if to confirm that they were in fact as healthy as they could in the middle of the madness that made their lives a little hellish than they had anticipated.

Life was a game of chess and they had all graduated from being pawns to being some of the key chess pieces on the board Hawi was always holding.

This in itself was near convincing for the call of an eternity, but at the end of the day, the skies would always find a way of returning back to blue, no matter how long it took, right?

"What the hell is going on and why the fuck are you here?" Theo asked as he looked at Adolf who had already settled.

He looked like he had seen the version of hell they were all not ready for, but then at this point in time, there wasn't even going to be a king of hell that they all didn't experience.

They always had to work things out differently and make it right, but here and now, there was seemingly no difference between right and wrong, because, at the end of the day, it seemed like the outcome would involve a lot of losses for either side.

Was that a risk that they had to consider at the point though, or were they still trying to feed into the possibility that life wasn't a game for them?

"Your dome came down and the distress alarm was sent to Greyson. All the Greyson civilians are in Olyana as demanded by alpha Hawi in such cases and we came to help you take the Sicario wolves to Olyana too so the battlefield was levelled.

"There have been signings of the Russell army headed this side, and boy are they a lot. They look like they have been in hibernation for thousands of years and have just been woken up from their sleep to ensure the complete and utter destruction of the realm," Zane said as he paced.

He couldn't believe that this was happening, and that too at this point in time.

All of this felt like an illusion and frankly, Zane wanted no part of it. Then again, he was a warrior sworn to the white wolf, and these were the white wolf's people, so he had to be there and make sure that all was done in the right way.

"The protectors are all back in Olyana too. All of them; which is weird for a population of almost half a million," Adolf mentioned.

The warriors all looked at each other as if to ask the question of whether Olyana would be big enough for the people of Sicario and Greyson, not to mention the fact that there was a chance that they had a million protectors on there.

This just didn't look like the perfect escape plan and Elodie was thinking it too.

She couldn't imagine the lot of her people cramped up in Olyana, however safe that space would be, so she asked the questions she had been thinking of for the past few minutes.

Perhaps, it would explain to her what the hell she needed to expect because at the end of the day, she had people to protect and keep sane.

She had to make sure that there was a difference between right and wrong, however the lines had gotten for everyone at this point.

"Is Olyana really huge to carry people?" Elodie asked, even though she was wounded. Well, this was the time for her to hope that all would be alright, especially given the enemies they were about to face.
