The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[HAWI]

"You heard me, mi reina. Anyway, if you want to kill me, you already have the blade. If you want information, I will give it to you in exchange for me staying close to you. As much as I want to say I waited for more than three hundred years for you;

"I am not that patient, especially when you have alphas around you," Amina responded earnestly, earning glares for the rest of the knights who were not sure if this was even something that they needed to talk about at the moment.

"She can't seriously be jealous of us?" Hawi mused and Ruru who just laughed at how absurd the situation seemed. There was just no way that this was real, but then they could tell that it was somewhat real.

Would they try and make Amina understand that they were friends and that they were busy fucking each other that they didn't even have time to fawn over Mbali whose heart belonged to Amina herself?

Was that too much of a gamble for them?

"I think she is… are we that intimidating?" Ruru questioned amusedly even though she felt bad for the two souls that couldn't even be happy together. This something that they hadn't expected and the loner they wired, the more they were sure fate was a bitch.

"You… are coming with me. If you say no, I'm killing that unwanted mate of yours, sweet sister," Malika said to her sister who was still staring at Amina like the Russel sister was insane.

There's just no way Amina was that forthcoming with an object that could cause her death. What the fuck were they even at this time?

"This is coming with me too," Malika said as she grabbed the blade from Amina and walked Mbali to her side. There was no threat here and yet at the same time, there was a threat they needed to make certain was controlled.

Who the fuck was the enemy this time? A mate who wanted to be happy or a moon goddess who had simply complicated the love between enemies? What the hell were they supposed to make of this?

'Wanna play a dangerous game with Amina and Mbali?' Ruru asked Hawi in their mind link.

'We have until morning till we get back on the road, so why not drive her crazy?' Hawi teased in agreement.

'Alright, let's do this… they will kill us if they find out the truth though,' Ruru said.

'Only if they catch us,' Hawi laughed in the link before she began the cat that could either land them in a state where they wouldn't be fed for months or one in which they would be left doing hard labor.

"Enough! She is coming with me," Hawi said in a tone that warned Malika against saying anything. It was the one tone that would make even Malika submit and to say the Jabali sisters were shocked was an understatement.

Since they had started working with Hawi both actively and passively, Hawi had never used that time on them. She had always been friendly even when she was pissed. She had never straight-up commanded them to do anything like this.

Malika looked at her sister and then at her mistress and she felt her heart sink into her stomach. Hawi was turning into the other white wolves she had always protected. Those that thrived on power and dominance.

The wolves who took pleasure in reminding everyone around them that they were the shit, and Malika wouldn't believe this. She had read Hawi since the girl had been broken and she hadn't seen any signs about Hawi being a tyrant.

Granted, the woman was riddled with desire for vengeance, but then all that was deserved. Everyone she went after had deserved what fate she bestowed on them and even more. It was like playing with fire, but goddamn, Malika hadn't expected this.

"Mistress… I can–" Malika began defeatedly.

Mbali stared at Hawi, clearly confused. She had thought it was Malika's plan, but seeing her sister submit to Hawi was proof that it wasn't planned at all. All of this was new and Hawi was a danger to them and herself.

"She's mine. I will take it from here," Hawi commanded, leaving no room for argument and Amina growled at her. She had been seeing things around the white wolves but she had never imagined that the white wolf would try that shit with her mate.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

If Amina was to fight for Mbali, then she would do it, even if it was the last thing she did with her damaged life. She was bound to die anyway, so she could at least die when her mate was saved right?

"What do you mean by that, Awuor Sicario?" Amina asked with a growl, risking her life even more. No one… Absolutely no one had growled at Hawi and now faced the consequences of it.

Hawi had grown to answer since her mother's death and even worse since she lost everything and that itself made her despise everyone who dared to growl at her.

It was a natural defensive instinct for her, because anyone who growled at her was testing her, and Hawi, she was always ready for a fight. She had so much pent-up anger in herself that she never really got the channel to let it all out.

This Russel sister was testing the waters and she wouldn't hesitate to put her in her place regardless of the consequences.

"You dare growl at me again and I will snap your sweet little Mbali's neck. Don't test my patience, Amina. And she is mine to do whatever I want with and whenever I want to no matter the place.

"If you choose to stay here, you will be a prisoner, so make sure you keep your mouth shut, unless you want to see your precious Mbali dead. I have no difficulty in doing that," Hawi warned angrily and Amina stared in shock.

She could sense the power and rage radiating off of Hawi and she was certain that this was not some sort of a plan between the Jabali sisters and the alphas.

This was so out of sync with their regular madness and Amina was worried genuinely for the safety of the mate that was so close to Hawi. Surely Hawi wouldn't betray her friend like that, right?

Granted, they were here subiects, but goddamn, a part of Amina, hoped that this was just a misunderstanding that could be cleared, but would it?

"Instead of killing her, you can have both of us. I am open to sharing," Ruru said, her eyes scanning Mbali like she truly wanted to have Mbali in their relationship.

This was insane on so many levels but then that was the one thing that made this little dangerous game even more interesting. The odds were not in Amina and the Jabali sister's favor, so they couldn't even bother to make it make sense.

This shit was confusing as hell but maybe, just maybe, there would be a reason for this, right?

"Are you two nuts? Mbali asked, confused. She had interacted with Hawi for over seventeen years and she had never once seen this side of Hawi. It was like this was a demon unleashed.

And since when had they turned their mission into one that involved fighting over Mbali? Was that really what then would be turning themselves into? Was it ever going to be other than the time they were waiting here?

"Careful how you talk to my wife, Jabali. Now go with Ruru and help your sister with the camp. If I catch you stealing glances at the prisoner, or if I catch the prisoner stealing glances at you, I will mate you right here and then.

"Don't test my patience… Dismissed," Hawi said coldly and Mbali felt the air leave her lungs. This couldn't be real, right? Hawi was never this cruel to her friends. Hawi was loyal to her friends.

Hawi was the girl who never forgot the people she cared about, right? Hawi knew what love was. Hawi knew what it meant to love and lose, so what the fuck was this? How the hell could that same Hawi be playing games with their fates like this?

What the hell was in it for her? And how the hell was she even to explain that things would be better after the message that was going on right now?

"Yes, Mistress," the Jabali sisters bowed while Ruru kissed Hawi on the cheeks and went along with them. This was going to be a long night for them either way.
