The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[HAWI]

"Hey, Seb," Hawi called out and the man instantly turned back with a furrowed brow.

"You never call me Seb," the warlock noticed and Hawi just smiled right as Malika threw a punch at the man and knocked him out.

Rukiya looked at Hawi and Malika, shock clear on her face as she tried to make sense of what she was seeing, she knew her mate and the protractor are batshit crazy, but a part of her always hoped that the crazies didn't always go full-on psycho.

Hell, she had seen Hawi vibe with the man, so what the fuck had changed along the way?

"What the hell did you do that for? Weent you talking like old friends a few minutes ago?!" Rukiya shrieked as she looked at the passed-out warlock on the ground. The man was bleeding on his head and Ruru felt terrible for him.

The poor man had probably truly come here for a treasure hunt and found himself in the hands of the psychos of all psychos. Ruru didn't understand and it was confusing as hell for him no matter what the fuck happened there. There had to be a reason, right?

"Fuck. It's been a while since I punched the shit out of a warlock. I should do that more often. I missed the crunchy sound of their fucked-up brains and their useless bodies every time., or I should go on a warlock hunt. Read new chapters at empire

"What do you think, mistress?" Malika asked excitedly as she hovered over Seb who was still unconscious.

There was nothing that could tell Ruru what the fuck was going on here but judging by the spite in Malika's voice, perhaps the man had been someone they needed to take out? Well, it was not even getting easier for her mind at the moment.

"I think we should take a few steps back before his apparent treasure hunters show up for him. Perhaps we can grill his mind and see what's in there?" Hawi asked like she was talking about the weather.

This was insanity at best and Ruru was still feeling wobbly. Granted, she would fight if she needed to but she just needed to jumpstart a little. Maybe it would take a while for her, but her pending question got her thinking about a lot of things.

"Who is he, Hawi? Why did you let Malika punch him like that?" Ruru asked again.

"He's a Russel, baby. The eldest of them all… Sebastian Russel," Hawi stated and Ruru sighed. She had been hoping that the day would go on well and that the mission would be a little more fun, But meeting the Russel like this made her wonder what was next.

"Bet he didn't see that one coming," Malika said as she fist-bumped the air. She looked lively, a little too lively for someone who had punched the shit out of another. It was like she had waited years to do that.

"Are you fucking serious?" Ruru asked.

"What? Who knows if he had a hand in manipulating my sister's mate bond and forced my Lili to be mated to his psycho sister? And by the way, for someone who always looks out for Mbali, his sister sure is missing.

"Can I kick him a little more mistress?" Malika asked and Ruru facepalmed. The Russels had fucked up the already insane people she knew and now they were creating real-time monsters. This was more than just about vengeance and power.

There was more to this, and as interesting as it was to always be on the murdering team, Ruru felt like it was her responsibility as the only sane one to make sure that everything was alright with the team.

They were all psychos, including her, but she was the white wolf's mate for a reason and perhaps she could make them see sense right?

"I say we fry him and then ask him questions; he might turn out better than Atticus did. Who knows, we could have another Russel bastard under our belt. Perhaps we should start a count on how many we have killed already, right?" Hawi asked casually.

To her, this man was nothing other than just a pain in her ass and with everything that had been holding her back, everything had been making her feel like the world was giving her a lot of shit to deal with. Hawi was free to think.

Looking at Sebastian, she hated the reality this man had thrust her into. She hated that she had known him and even gone on missions with him. She despised the fact that the man had been somewhat of a friend to her.

She despised traitors and yet each day she seemed to be unlocking a newer bout of them. They were endless and she despised everything about this. But at least she was sure that she was never going to be alone.

"That wouldn't be easy. He is well-trained. Didn't you read the books on the worst warlocks to ever live and how they trained their kids? The firstborns always had it the worst and they turned into worse psychos than everyone else," Malika stated.

She was not going to sugarcoat anything because their war was still on and they were not even halfway to the peace they were all aiming for. The only barrier between them consisted of siblings who didn't know when to give up.

Oh, how Malika despised the Russel siblings. She wanted to make sure that they never saw the light of the day but then those fuckers always found ways to rise. It was even surprising that he had managed to kill Atticus and Razia without a hitch.

"Ah fuck… cut off a head and two more will grow in its place. How about we cripple him so he won't die but he won't be able to use his magic?" Hawi asked excitedly, her tone telling Ruru that they had long crossed the line between sanity and insanity.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ruru wanted to keep her mate safe from everything. She wanted to make sure that the world didn't make a monster out of the love of her life and yet each day, Ruru was learning that Hawi would always have greater battles to fight than the rest of them.

Hawi was a warrior in one too many ways and the best of them all in every capacity. Even if she didn't want to be a monster and make life a little too hard for everyone and anyone who was not on her side. Fate was determined to make her that.

The universe was messing with her life in one too many ways, not that there was anything that Hawi could do about that. Rukiya felt defeated as she watched them talk about Sebastian like the man was just a pea in a pod.

Whatever the fuck happened to slowing down and making things right one at a time? Was that all something that they could only ever imagine or was it never going to be worth it at the end of the day then?

"Exactly. He should be waking up anytime now. Perhaps he can answer the question of where my Mbali is before we find the remaining siblings yeah?" Malika said with a laugh and Hawi joined in maniacally.

Meanwhile, Ruru just stood there wondering if she was trapped in another world.
