The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

* Cheers to our 2nd century!!!

[GREYSON]

"That is the most dangerous thing you have spoken since the day began, Adolf. Careful, you might join the dead Sicario warriors for such a lewd statement," Mbali said, the earning in her voice clear. They had been with the Rukiya barely for hours ago.

They had fought the battle together; they were supposed to go back home together. There was just no way that the most loved woman was dead. It wasn't real and Mbali was willing to bet her life on it.

"Don't mention that again. Take your warriors home If Hawi has disappeared she is with Ruru. I don't know what you're hoping for but they will be back soon. They always do, it's what Hawi always does regardless of the state we are in.

"So go, tell the Greyson pack that the war was won and that their alpha will be back soon," Mbali insisted as the Lycans stood beside her.

The rogues had already left to go back to their homes. Their services were no longer needed because they wouldn't be burying the dead Sicario warriors. It was not their cup of tea. As for the rebels they had conveniently disappeared when Hawi had, which made it even more suspicious.

"Even Malika is not here, so Hawi just went on a little trip and will be back. Like I said, those words could kill you, Adolf heh," Mbali said as she got ready to create a portal for her warriors to go through.

They had no business being in the free lands anymore, so they would go home, and wait for an order from their commander.

It was always like that and this time wouldn't be different. Hopefully, when Hawi came back, they would be having pups with Rukiya and the Greyson pack would see the light of the day even in the darkness that the realm was in, yeah?

"Mbali…" Malika whispered as she looked at the Lycan warrior.

"Well, of course, she would leave you behind if she left with her Ruru. Hawi will be back, I know it, she could never abandon us. She will definitely be back," Mbali said to Malika like she wanted the protector to tell them that the Grayson Alpha was alive.

She had to be.

She had to be alive and there was nothing else. There was no compromise when it came to that. Hell, Mbali would prove it to them.

"Mbali—"

"Come on Malika, tell these warriors that Hawi will be back," Mbali said and Malika smiled at her reassuringly.

"Of course, she never left Mbali. Adolf just didn't see her well," Malika said, her voice so cold that Mbali had to look at Malika again. Then he looked in the direction that Malika was staring, and even though she could see it, she was not ready for that truth.

She couldn't accept it like this. They hadn't fought so hard for Hai's happiness only for it to fade in the distance. There had to be something else. This had to be an illusion in every way.

"Hawi?" Mbali asked, unsure if she was speaking to her mistress or if this was just another magic trick by Hawi. She was so sure that the woman was pulling her leg and goddess, she hoped that this was just one of those times that Hawi did whatever she wanted.

It had to be, right?

"Damn girl you look different. Tell me something, have you finally decided that we are going to kill Her instead of leaving him alive every time? Is this why you're wearing dark clothes? Goddamn, you look so beautiful.

"Where's Ruru? She should be right behind you, yeah? Rukiya! I promise I won't babysit you again," Mbali said with a light laugh as she walked towards the Gresuon gates, she hadn't even realized it yet but they were inside the Greyson pack.

There were silent whimpers around them but she chose not to pay attention to them. Perhaps it was because she was sure they were playing some role. That was the only explanation, but when Mbali walked from the Greyson pack house at the gates and saw no sign of Rukiya Greyson, she let out a disbelieving laugh.

She couldn't understand how they had fought tooth and nail only to fail. They had never failed. Their magic had never failed. This war is impossible for so many fonts.

"You people are pulling my leg. You are terrible people. I'll sit here and wait for Ruru, while you go on and do whatever the hell it is people do when they come back from war in Greyson. I'm telling you she will come home.

"She is your Alpha after all. Or maybe they fought with Hawi? But then Hawi would be the one outside of Greyson and not the Greyson Alpha? Or maybe they switched, holy fuck what the hell?" Mbali was in denial, just like most of the Greyson warriors.

It was impossible to slow the Alpha lightly like that. It wasn't sane and acceptable and frankly, it scared the hell out of the warriors. No one in their right mind would ever consider these, right?

"Pop the ball now! Besides, if Ruru really left, Luna Razia would be here with you guys. Speaking of Razia Greyson, she should be able to answer me alright?" Mbali whined as Lycan begged her to accept the situation, but she couldn't.

She had never experienced this kind of loss. She had been to battles and more and she had never lost someone. So, this was a first for her, which is why she wasn't ready for goodbyes and shit.

The way Hawi was so calm was terrifying for a woman who always fought fire with fire. It was like Hawi had just given up on her mate, and that wasn't fair.

"Hold on, Hawi. You wouldn't do this lightly. So what was at this time? Where is the anger, the pain and the thunder? Where are the storms when the whirlwind, the red rain, the blood rain, or whatever the hell happens when you're emotionally unstable?

"Where are they all? Don't tell me your calm like this when Adolf is talking about your mate being dead. Come on girl, you can't seriously believe him, right? If that's true then let it storm, let it rain, let's go back to Sicario, let's burn them all down.

"Let's burn the entire realm and everyone in it down. Let's go to the humans and burn Jer's parents. Let's do it. Let's burn the world if this is what it has to be. Come on then, if she really is dead let's go burn the entire realm and reduce it to ashes.

"You can do that. I can do that. My fire with you could make the earth melt. And if we add the Lycans and Malika's then we will be fine," Mbali begged. She was deteriorating and this was strange.

Hawi had never thought Jabali Lihle cared for anyone but standing there with a distraught look on her face, Jabali Lihle was scared of the reality she was walking into.

She was scared of losing Rukiya.

She was scared of what the world would look like; without her, it was just impossible, hell she had begun liking Rukiya.

"What is she doing HERE?!" Luna Razia's angry voice interrupted Mbali's hopeful rant.
