The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[AWUOR]

'Slow down Hawi. If you keep going at that rate, you might get hurt,' Malika warned as she felt Hawi's heartbeats ringing in her head. She could feel the wind, and she could sense that Hawi was going at an abnormal speed.

Something wasn't right this time.

Malika couldn't hear Hawi's voice, or even communicate with her. Instead, the only thing she could feel was anger, and a great desire to unwind. It was almost unusual.

Sure, Hawi never liked it when people threatened those that meant the world to her, but this right here was different.

It was almost like Awuor Hawi was channeling the environment around her, the bustling winds and the energy from the sun that was finally high up.

She was at her peak and yet at her weakest however strong she was.

Ten minutes later, Malika was done struggling to try and keep up with Hawi.

She may have been in Sicario, but her only responsibility was Awuor Hawi, which was also why, when she walked out of the pack meeting, the very important meeting that needed the Sicario Luna, Malika had made her choice.

She was going to go after her assigned white wolf and anyone who tried to stop her, would meet the wrath of the deadliest protector to ever live since the beginning of the white-wolf-protector project.

"Malika? Are you okay?" Jer asked, following his wife outside.

He had grown to like the woman. Sure, they were just married on paper and were waiting for the time to come when they would eventually fall in love, but there was something about Malika that got Jer pulled toward her.

It was only sad that Malika didn't give two shits about the bastard alpha that had ruined her mistress.

"I'm not feeling too well. Can I please be excused, alpha?" Malika requested, her patience growing thinner with every assumption that Jeremiah was making she wanted to knock him out and get on with her mission, but she also knew that it would cost her her cover.

So she lulled him, and settled his thoughts.

She used her magic to keep the trust alive and made sure to make him feel protective of her personal time. She wanted to make sure Hawi was aya dn at the same time, she wanted to make sure that her mission in Sicario hadn't gotten wrung up.

"Sure. I'll tell the others to let you rest. Please let me know when you need me," Malika said, making sure to come off as the polite persona she had created. It was the best way to get Jer to trust her and right now, she needed it.

However, while she was trying to get through to Jer, Elodie was watching her in the distance. Elodie Kane had noticed Malika's bursts and sometimes when she was glossed up in the mind links.

It wasn't the first time and she could tell that something was strange with Malika. And Malika would have noticed that, if she wasn't too busy working around the fact that Hawi wasn't responding to her.

"Please don't be hurt," Malika whispered as she created a portal and went through it. However, before the portal could close, Elodie went through too. This was her chance to find out what the woman who was too perfect for a luna was doing in her spare time.

It was her chance to prove to herself that she could trust Malika to not ruin her plans of finding out the truth about the day Luna Eniola was murdered.

Elodie was desperate, even now that she knew her best friend was dead. She had never imagined a world without Hawi, she had never wanted a life that didn't have Hawi in it, and she was haunted by it every time.

The blank space Hawi had left had broken Elodie more than once and she wanted Malika to pay the price for being Hawi's replacement. Maybe that was also why she followed Malika through the portal, because this was her chance to eliminate Malika, right?

Well, maybe that was it or her.

"Please be alive, mistress, pretty please be okay," Malika whispered defeatedly as she scoured the Gresyon woods for Hawi.

She could see traces of blood but none of it belonged to Hawi. That should have been relieving, save for the fact that Hawi was never an easy bleeder. It always took a lot to get the damn woman to bleed, especially when she didn't want to.

So Malika sniffed the woods, trying to find Hawi's scent, trying to get a grip of what had happened hee she had never imagined what her life would be like without Hawi.

Sure, she would probably be assigned another white wolf, but Malilika wanted to see Hawi happy.

It may have been an obsession, but it was the only thing that meant the world to her.

She had never wanted to get justice for someone so bad, like she wanted for Hawi, which is why as she sniffed around and caught a different scent, Malika pretended like she didn't sniff anything.

If the person was an intruder, she would deal with them later.

But until then, she had to find her mistress.

"Mistress!! Please let me know where you are!" Malika shouted in the woods, as she struggled to sniff through the thick woody scents.

Such were the times she hated the woods, but she had to focus. So she tried, helplessly calling out for the woman she would always serve even when the worlds were apart. She wanted Hawi back and that was all that mattered.

"Mistress please!" Malika shouted her voice so strong that Elodie who was following her from a distance felt like she had been played. Of course, they all had. There was never a protector who was weak, ever.

"Goddess, where the fuck are you?" Malika cried out but then she instantly stopped, a smile on her face as she walked deep into the woods. She had finally gotten a whiff of Hawi's beautiful scent.

It was a distinct one.

Sure, the mate bond would reveal a whole new scent when Hawi and Ruiya mated, but until then her regular woody scent was always going to be potent.

"Are you hurt?" Malika asked, gently, once when was sure that there was no point in her shouting anymore. She could feel that Hawi was calm and yet for some reason, that didn't give her any comfort. She had to see her mistress for herself.

'Run, whoever you are, run,' Malika said to herself as she thought of the person who was tailing her.

Chances were that the person wanted them dead and frankly, it was a stupid idea, because the protectors were immortal and so were the white wolves. They are dangerous and given Malik and Hawi's personalities, they were the kind that weren't to be messed with.

Oh, but this was a dangerous mission for Elodie, but then again, Elodie Kane was a woman who wanted to know why the fuck Malika was in Sicario playing pretend-weak luna when she was clearly oozing so much power once she had gone through the portal.

"I finally found you! Goodness woman, I guess you were hungry," Malika said when she saw the sight before her. However, before Hawi could say anything, Elodie spoke, getting a very naked Hawi's attention.

"Malyshka? You're alive?"
