The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[RUKIYA]

The Sicario wolves had backed out of the war, thanks to the deal that Jer had offered Rukiya.

He knew they didn't need the weapons, but if that was the only way to get the Greyson wolves off their tails, then they would do it. Besides, it wasn't like there was anything else Sicario could offer Rukiya anyway.

Rukiya, Hudhayfah, and Adolf had already agreed to continue with the mission to find Awuor, but they also knew it would raise eyebrows, which was also why, as they sat near the lake, watching the sun go down, they all couldn't help but agree that this mission was supposed to be discreet.

"Now that we're doing this, we need to know more about the Sicario pack. Everything from the beginning to the point where Luna Eniola was killed. But then we don't have any active spies in Sicario at the moment," Adolf said and Rukiya let out a sigh.

She didn't care if they didn't have spies there. No matter what it took, she would find Awuor and put her mind at ease.

It was a crazy idea, but then wasn't all of this irrational already? Her obsession with the woman was wild, but she wasn't complaining and had somehow managed to convince her healer and her beta to join in the bandwagon. Nothing would go wrong, yeah?

"Not exactly. Remember the prisoners we had back at the pack? The ones who seemed to be obsessed with Awuor to the point that they even risked their lives attacking us?" Hudhayfah asked as he picked as stone and threw it into the lake disturbing the quiet in the lake.

However, Hudhayfah thought of the three of them as the disruptors. They're going against nature itself for a woman who wasn't even willing to admit that she had a thing for the Sicario alpha or maybe she didn't.

But then why did it seem like Rukiya was always excited when it came to Awor? Granted, Rukiya loved challenges, but nothing was ever going to beat the fact that she was a little too excited about this one.

"Yeah, they could really prove useful this time," Adolf added when he saw the wheels in Rukiya's head spinning. It was almost like she was in her own world.

Frankly, Adolf wanted to get this obsession over and done with because as much as Rukiya was running the pack, she would be risking a lot of lives if she went on like this. The Greyson pack needed their alpha and Luna Razia was just no match for Rukiya in every sense.

Luna was soft, unlike her daughter who had been running the pack with an iron fist to the point that the Greyson wolves had known what was expected of them and what they needed to do to avoid the wrath of their alpha.

"Well then, I should go for them—"

"No, Rukiya. Be patient. Also, remember we promised to give them back to the Sicarios in a week as a sign of good faith.

"If we fail to think straight then we will be compromising our home and that is certainly not on the bucket list," Adolf said, interrupting his alpha who just looked at him like he was foreign.

However, Rukiya knew Adolf was right. They needed to be very careful lest they looked like wolves who had nothing to do other than be a nuisance to the other wolves.

"Is a week enough to get the information we need from the wolves, Hudhayfah?" Rukiya asked her healer. She needed to know that this would work, because if it wasn't enough then Rukiya could always come up with a crazier idea to make things work in her favor.

She was going to get to Awuor and it didn't matter who was with her, or against her. She was going to make it work no matter what happened.

"Yes, alpha. A week is enough to get what we need, and to confirm whether the rejected alpha is around or went to the land where the white wolves are taken," Hudhayfah said, and Adolf let out a sigh. There was more to the white wolves too? Well, of course, there was.

They had been too cooped up in looking for Awuor the alpha, and they had forgotten that she was also a white wolf and a dangerous one at that. Awuor Hawi was the white wolf motivated by death and that made her a lethal creature other than her naturally dangerous aura.

"The land where the white wolves are taken?" Adolf asked, though he already knew he wouldn't like the answers he would be getting from Hudhayfah.

"Yes, there is a land where the white wolves belong. But that shouldn't worry you at the moment.

"The priority is to find the banished alpha and then we can figure out everything else later," Hudhayfah said as he looked at the two best friends. One was tired of the fiasco while the other was determined to settle her thoughts about the woman they were looking for.

"Alright then, it seems like we have our work cut out for us. Let's go back to the warriors. I need to send them home," Rukiya began and Adolf and Hudhayfah looked at her like she was a few screws loose in the head.

The more they hung around Rukiya, the more they were asked into the most unpredictable of situations.

"Now? Woman, are you even okay?" Adolf asked as he looked at Rukiya who was staring at him like he needed to elaborate.

"What Adolf means in simpler terms, is, let the warriors have their rest for the day and then they can go home tomorrow. Sending them home now doesn't seem like a bad idea. You just have to see it too, Rukiya.

"Let them have their fun, and then when tomorrow comes, we'll go home and come back with the two prisoners, alright?" Hudhayfah said and Rukiya nodded.

There was no point in making the warriors up and leave, when it wasn't like they had anything waiting for them back at home. They needed to be ready, because going after Awuor meant that they would be facing so many dangers and would probably be risking the lives of the Greyson wolves.

"Alright, let's go back then," Rukiya said and they walked back to where the warriors had camped.

They were excited about how the day had turned out they had succeeded in their mission and while there was no reward waiting for them, they knew they had managed to earn the trust of their alpha even more. That was all that mattered to them.

The rest of the evening, the Greyson wolves spent having their fun, oblivious of the chaos that their alpha was bringing to them. Maybe they would know about that later, but until then they needed to stay in their current state.

A few meters away from where the Greyson warrior wolves were, Awuor Hawi was staring at them, wondering what chaos their irrational alpha had managed to make this time.

She wanted to listen in more, but then she and Malika had a mission to attend to and if she stayed even longer, she wouldn't get to where they were headed.

"Be careful what you are looking for, Rukiya," Awuor whispered as she walked away, with a frowning Malika who was determined to keep their invisibility as long as they were walking amidst the Greyson wolves.
