The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[HAWI]

"We're here," Hawi mouthed softly.

She hadn't expected that she would ever be able to get back into this building, but now that she could see the endless SUVs in its parking lot, she was certain that this was really happening.

Life had hit her the hardest and this was her one chance to reclaim it. Oh, how she was excited and scared at the same time. She had always come to such meetings with her brother and Dom always knew what to say.

On her first time in the operations building, Dom had cheered her up until they got to the conference room. Her brother had been chatty with her even in the elevators, telling her that she could do it and that she would ace it.

And she did, flawlessly. But right now, she was alone. Well, she had her friends, but she didn't have her brother. The emptiness that Dominic Sicario had left was about to hit Hawi in full swing as she wouldn't have her troublesome cheerleader anymore.

The walk to the conference room wasn't long and when the warriors at the door pulled them open for the reigning Sicario alpha to walk in, the room went silent. The sound of the door closing behind Malika was heard, reminding the leader in the room that this was really happening.

There in that room were fifty-six leaders of different factions and businessmen that Hawi had summoned. Of the invites sent, none had declined and that went on to show just how powerful the woman was.

Hawi was in a black tux today. She had her hair in the double braids they had always been in when she had been in Sicario. Her white hair had grown longer in the past few years and her eyes had grown darker.

She wasn't wearing her crown, as everyone already knew who she was and the strength she had. She was the girl who sent men to their knees with just one stare and that in itself made her a formidable person to be around.

She screamed power where she was, and Malika had to nudge her softly to remind her that these people weren't enemies that she needed to force into submission. They were here for the good of the realm and mostly for Sicario's benefit.

"She is real."

"She is back."

"She is here."

The whispers in the room began the moment Hawi had sat on her seat at the head of the table. She was elegant and hot at the same time. She could see the way the men and women alike were looking at her and she understood them.

The last time they had been here she had long thick black hair, and today she was adorning white hair. That was a lot for anyone to understand and she didn't expect to get it immediately. Besides, she wasn't in a hurry.

"Good morning," Hawi greeted the leaders even though she owned it in the afternoon. She always did this and for a moment the leaders went silent unanimously almost like they were trying to figure out if that was a trick question.

With Hawi, there were always consequences of saying the wrong thing.

So they needed to be on their toes and careful so as to not lose their heads. After all, they had witnessed more than once how Hawi had been quick to break necks and snap them back into place in this same room.

"Good afternoon to you too, Alpha Awuor," one of the leaders responded as the rest of them joined in. All the time, Hawi had been saving their faces, staring at them like they could turn against her any time.

Of course, they knew they didn't stand a chance, but then the idea itself was ludicrous, they had survived Hawi thinly each time they came to Sicario and they loved themselves too much to keep fucking that up.

"Perfect. One alpha is missing. We shall wait for her to show up so we can properly begin. Meanwhile, there are folders before you, with the agenda of the meeting. I will not address all of them.

"So, if you have something that you don't agree with or understand, do feel free to ask questions. It is our first meeting after four years after all," Hawi said and they just nodded in understanding like they had been trained to do so.

Hudhayfah and Sherry were new to all of this as they had never once accompanied Rukiya to meetings that Awuor Hawi held, but the temperatures in the room were so cold and they were worried that the woman would start throwing people against walls.

They could only hope it didn't get that bad but the chances of that not happening were slimmer with every breath these leaders took. Then again, perhaps there was a simpler way out of this, right?

Normally, the alphas would ask about who they were waiting for but this time, they didn't. They focused on their folders, skimming through as they tried to catch up when that alpha made her way in.

"Sorry, I'm late, alpha," Rukiya Greyson said thirty minutes later as she walked in with Mbali and Elodie following closely behind.

At her mate's voice, Hawi lifted her head to look in her direction and it was safe to say she had gotten horny again. Damn, they needed to find a way to control each other's desires in public, right?

"What?'' Hawi asked as her eyes raked down Rukiya's body. She had fucked her barely an hour ago, but damn, she still had lust for the woman who had just walked in. It would definitely be hard to keep herself in check at this meeting.

"My apologies," Alpha Rukiya Greyson bowed as she looked at Hawi. She was wearing a long tight strapless black dress and her hair was down.

She had a blazer on her but goddamn, she still looked smoking hot when she bowed at Hawi who let out a strained cough as she saw the bite marks she had left on Rukiya's breasts earlier.

They looked red and tasty and lord, she wanted to have a taste. Just one more wouldn't be bad, right?

"Everyone!" Hawi suddenly said, getting the attention of all the alphas and leaders back to her, they could see her face and they were worried that he was about to kill a lot of them on their first meeting for the long hiatus.

Damn, their lives were always at stake with this woman.

Rukiya stared at her mischievously, like she was waiting for Hawi to say something that could drive everyone out. Rukiya could see how the alphas were staring at her and she knew this was the ultimate test of patience for Hawi.

Seeing her mate suddenly lost for words, Rukiya just walked closer to Hawi, gently kissing Hawi on the lips, before she ran her hand down Hawi's face gently as if that were supposed to make the woman stay in control.

"How about we get the meeting going first and then you can fuck me on this table later, hmm?" Rukiya said softly, not bothering to whisper.

She could have whispered or used the mind link to talk to Hawi, but she had seen the way they were looking at her Hawi, and it was safe to say that she was jealous and wanted to gouge out the eyes of the alpha in there.

"Meeting… Yes, meeting," Hawi strained out when Rukiya placed a gentle kiss on Hawi's scent gland, before she walked to the other end of the table and took her seat at Hawi's right hand.
