The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

* Surprise!!

* Also, this might be a rumor, but I think we might start getting FREQUENT updates seeing as the date for going premium is coming soon. Again, it's just a rumor hihi.

[SICARIO]

"Alpha Jer?" one of the alphas greeted as they stared at the man before them who had just walked in with his wife. He looked nothing like the psycho they had stepped out to watch barely ten minutes ago. The man before them was different, completely different.

Instead, he was the version of Jeremiah that they were all familiar with. The alpha that Sicario loved. The alpha who had promised to bring Sicario back to its former state, after the apparent tainting by its last alpha.

Jeremiah Warner was the alpha who had promised to clean up every mess Hawi had made. But then that was something that even he couldn't clean up. It hadn't been Hawi's mess in the first place, which made all of this just a stunt to anyone who knew what was going on in Sicario.

Then again, no one was counting, right? Hawi was formidable, and only an insane person would go against her, even in death. Perhaps Jer was willing to risk that, given the determination on his face.

Either he had to be the dumbest person in the realm or he just didn't care about it anymore.

"Hello, Alpha Nico. Nice to see you," Jer greeted as he walked to the podium where his elite warriors were waiting.

They had set up just one seat for Malika, since she had been the one to come and address them as she had mentioned earlier. However, now that Jer was here, one of the people among the warriors cast a spell and another chair showed up, surprising everyone.

It wasn't something that they would have expected in a normal Sicario and frankly, it got the pack leaders antsy.

No one had known that Sicario had a warlock and now it seemed like there truly was one. If they had had this woman from the beginning, it would have been easier for them to tell if Hawi had been the one to kill Luna Eniola Sicario.

Malika wasn't surprised to see that.

She had known that for a man like Jer, one so desperate to get into power, he would definitely do whatever it took to make his dream a reality. She was disappointed, sure, but she had proven herself right.

At least now she knew she would be using her magic to make their lives harder; she would make sure to remind them that they took the first risk and they had attacked her first. She wasn't going to be kind to them and her motivation was scary as hell.

"I see you're back. Jeremiah. How long are we supposed to sit pretty and wait for you and your new wife to settle? Also, where is the body we are to view? Or is this just a wake for a man we haven't seen yet?

"Is there proof that he is even dead?" Rukiya asked, her cold voice slicing through the room, stunning everyone.

She sounded pissed at the man and she had every right to. What she had just witnessed was something that Hawi could have committed instant murders for. The sheer betrayal was beyond what Rukiya had expected and honestly, it was pissing her off.

What the hell was even this?

Just like Malika, Rukiya made a mental note to not hold Hawi back in case she wanted to use her magic to kill everyone who had wronged her.

Hell, Rukiya would be the catalyst for it all, if that was the case. She would do everything in her power, use all her connections, and call in every favor if it meant getting justice for the woman she loved.

"Alpha Rukiya. As graceful as always. I know you have questions, but they must wait, until I sit my queen down," Jer said sternly and Rukiya just rolled her eyes at the man. He was a bastard and he deserved everything Hawi was preparing for him.

Jer was daring, which seemed brave for someone like him. However, deep down, he was worried about what was going on in Rukiya Greyson's mind. The woman was always quiet and if she had a reaction, then it had to be serious and mean more than met the eye.

The Sicario alpha could tell that there were going to be some difficulties with Rukiya yet even then, a part of him hoped that the Greyson alpha would respect their treaty with the Greysons.

They had all worked a little too hard to make sure that Sicario had the backing of Greyson and Jer couldn't lose that just because the woman was daring and crazy. It was her normal state so he just had to get through the chaos.

He would be fine eventually, wouldn't he?

"Make it quick. We have packs to run instead of spending our time watching you yap about the woman who murdered her mother. Unless you are talking about some other queen. Last I checked, Sicario only had one queen, the banished psycho, Awuor Hawi Sicario.

"But hey, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong," Rukiya said and the alphas in the room instantly prepared themselves for an attack.

They knew that Rukiya Greyson was dangerous and they knew that something had to have triggered the woman for her to be that loud at a damn funeral. Or maybe she was just tired of what she was hearing and the chaos she had witnessed outside, right?

"Well," Jer began, with a strained voice as he looked between Malika and Rukiya.

He could tell that Malika was harmless and that Rukiya Greyson would probably try to attack Malika. So once again, he decided it was a really good idea to profess his undying love for his woman in front of everyone, again.

"Malika Warner is my queen and the reigning luna of this pack, Alpha Rukiya. In my absence, she has every right to run the pack and make sure everything runs smoothly. I know you're used to the rejection, Awuor, but this is the new order.

"I even saw you at my wedding, didn't I?" Jer asked and Malika held back the urge to snicker. These two were disastrous, but she loved what Rukiya was doing. Hell, if she had the power, she could join Malika.

Elodie, who was also watching on the other end, just let out a laugh as she watched Jer and Rukiya banter in front of so many pack leaders. It was crazy, but then wasn't Rukiya Greyson the mother of crazies?

"I was at your wedding, but you called her your WIFE. Anyway, get on with it. We have wasted enough time here since morning. We have other issues other than assembling here to mourn when you are high as fuck," Rukiya said and everyone stared at the woman in shock.

She was picking a fight and it was obvious. Hell, she wasn't even hiding it anymore.

The pack leaders knew that Rukiya was right, though the way she was going at it was just world and unhinged. This was supposed to be a funeral wake though if they weren't careful, it would turn into a full-scale war, especially with the Greyson warriors at the Sicario gates.

"As my alpha was saying, alpha Rukiya. The Luna is here, they are all here. Now if you would be so kind as to shut up and let everything proceed as planned, we will not waste your time," Elodie suddenly said and everyone let out gasps.
