The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[AWUOR]

"Good to see you, Rukiya. Hawi fucking smells like you, shit. Anyway, hurt her, and I'll burn down Greyson. Goodbye, Hawi's Ruru," Malika said, the mischief in her voice reminding Hawi of how fucked she was this time.

"Hey wait. Malika, take me with you please," Hawi pleaded but her protector was long gone, leaving her with a bunch of Greyson wolves and their alpha.

With Malika gone, Hawi contemplated the next excuse she could come up with. She didn't want to seem like she didn't trust Rukiya, but then she had a feeling that that was what this would be about.

She had told Rukiya that she was going to sort thighs out, and now, here she was in the Greyson woods, looking like she had been having a damned bloodied feast with the dead bodies surrounding her.

It was a literal massacre, and the only way Rukiya could tell the count of people that were dead was by counting the severed heads that were scattered around.

There were fourteen heads.

"Oh heyy, alpha Greyson. What up?" Hawi asked, popping the p so loudly that some of the warriors with Rukiya snickered.

They could sense the tension between the two women and they figured that this was their cue to make their leave. After all, the warriors were sure that Hawi and Rukiya in one palace was already a massacre in the making.

They didn't want to be the dispensable bodies this time.

"What up? Really Hawi? What up? Is what you have for me? How about hey, alpha fucking Greyson, I murdered people on your lands and didn't fucking tell you?" Rukiya asked, her tone so calm and chill that Hawi could feel herself shudder for a movement there.

It wasn't because of fear, no, but because of how Rukiya spoke.

She knew she was in trouble and had to find a way out of this. Then again, where was she never supposed to start? What was she supposed to tell Rukiya, without coming off as a woman who didn't trust Rukiya Greyson's abilities to protect her own pack?

"Yeah, about that… I was going to tell you after the hunting trip. Which reminds me, I owe you a hunting trip. Let's go, shall we? Malika can come to clean this mess later," Hawi said, with a smile on her face you'd think that she hadn't just done the unthinkable yet.

She had managed to murder fourteen people on her own and that too in a span of a few hours. That was even more unsettling than the fact that she had lied about where she was going.

Rukiya wasn't sure if Hawi was okay, but from what she was seeing she could tell that Awuor Hawi was already thinking of a way to evade whatever was coming her way.

"Thanks to these intruders, I found a perfect spot for hunting. It's not bloodied and it's a beautiful place. Come, let's go home so I can change and then we'll leave for the hunting session, right?" Hawi added.

If Rukiya had questions, then she had to ask them, otherwise, Hawi was going to play dumb until the day ended.

She didn't mind doing that, because it was way better than telling Rukiya the truth.

The simple truth was that the people she had just murdered were bastards who had come looking for Rukiya because someone was busy spreading rumors about Rukiya Greyson being important to Hawi.

It had been a stupid assumption, but then what else could Hawi do other than what she had done earlier?

"Are you serious right now?" Rukiya asked, her tone still calm, but Hawi didn't falter.

She knew what Rukiya was trying to do and it wasn't going to work on Hawi. This woman had done that more times than she could count on any possible scale and frankly, nothing terrified her anymore.

"Yes, of course. I owe you a hunting trip, remember? Sorry, I left in a hurry like that. But as you can see, I didn't even take three hours. I was quick. That gives us a few more hours before sundown.

We can catch rabbits today.

"The next time, I'll make sure to not be distracted so we can spend the day out, just the two of us," Hawi said nonchalantly as she tried to figure out where her slipper was.

However she had come from Greyson without any clothing on her and it was just a miracle that she had remembered to conjure clothes, otherwise it would have been really awkward with the beautiful woman before her.

"Aren't you going to answer my questions?" Rukiya asked and Hawi just smiled at her like it was a given.

Of course, she would be selective about the answers she was going to give Rukiya. Hawi had also calculated that there were higher chances of her and Rukiya getting into a fight either way, and honestly, she wasn't sure how she could get out of that predicament sooner.

"I was going to tell you once we came from the trip. It's no big deal," Hawi shrugged and Rukiya let out a low warning growl that instantly got Hawi's attention.

"You growled at me?" Hawi asked, before she walked in Rukiya's direction.

Right now, it was just the two of them given the warriors had already left, and Adolf wasn't here to disturb them. It was interesting how things could get to this point, but Rukiya needed answers.

She needed to know what the fuck had prompted Hawi to go all feral on her lands, when there was a chance that Hawi wasn't even the target this time. The whole realm knew that Hawi was dead, so it was impossible for anyone to be looking for Alpha Awuor Hawi anywhere.

"What the fuck happened here, Hawi?" Rukiya asked again and this time, it was obvious that she wasn't going to let it slide just because they both liked each other. She had a right to know, and if Hawi wanted to play games Rukiya wasn't really in the mood.

"I didn't lie. You saw Malika too, right? She had come with a mission—"

"Now, now, sweetheart. You know you're a terrible liar, right? Tell me, baby, what happened here?" Rukiya asked, again, closing the distance between her and Hawi, though it seemed like Awuor Sicario wasn't really ready to divulge that information to Rukiya.

"I went to meet Malika. And well we fought, and there was collateral damage. As you can see, the blood is all over. She did that though, not me. As for Elodie, she's harmless and won't do shit. Malika will deal with her and erase her memories.

"You have nothing to worry about, trust me," Hawi said and Rukiya just let out a low laugh.

"Oh, but I trust you, Hawi. I trust you more than you know," Rukiya said, running a hand along Hawi's messy hair. How a woman could be so hot and bloodied at the same time was a wonder, but even that didn't get Rukiya's answers.

"But I have to know what happened here, and why the fuck you were naked, with Elodie staring at your body like she wanted what's mine. I could follow them to Sicario and ask her, or seek Malika for answers, baby. Which one do you prefer?" Rukiya dared possessively.
