The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[HAWI]

Hawi looked at her protector who was worried about her sister.

She had every right to because even Hawi didn't know where Mbali was. The sibling bond could have made it easier for them to track her, but if Malika herself couldn't even feel the bond, what the fuck were they supposed to do about this?

They had agreed to leave no one behind and that was what Hawi was foreign to do. They had already set course and they were going to do whatever it took to make sure that they got her back and that this time she didn't lose anyone.

"She's alive, that's all I know. Amina must have done some swap while we were sleeping and excused herself," Hawi said sadly as she looked at the mess that was left in there.

She wasn't sure how the fuck she was supposed to make her protector feel assured, but one thing was certain, Malika was never going to let Mbali suffer and Hawi wasn't going to stop her.

"Pull all the stops you must, Malika. We are not losing anyone today," Hawi added and Malika stared sadly. She had promised her sister safety. She had promised her sister that everything was going to be alright.

She had known Mbali was apprehensive about the mission and she had let her tag along because she had promised to never leave her side. And now someone had taken her sister and there still wasn't shit she could do about it.

Maybe they were doomed but no matter what happened Maika refused to lose the only last living family member she had. She hadn't home through hell and back just to be messed with like this.

She wouldn't stop, and even if Hawi had told her to take a break, Malika would have found a way.

"What happened out there, Mistress? And where were the both of you?'' Malika asked her to worry about making a show. She knew that there had to be an explanation for all this and she sure as hell hoped that somewhere in between that explanation was the possibility of knowing where her sister was before they took the long road to where she was.

"The island… the sacred island," Ruru stated as she lowered her weapons before she sat back on the couch where she had been fucked senseless by Hawi a little earlier. Then again that wasn't the time for them to think of the could have and could nots.

They had a lot of things to be worried about at the moment that if they weren't careful they would lose more than they had anticipated and that never really ended well for them or for anyone on their side. They had to figure this out and fast.

"The sacred Island? Am I missing something here?" Malika asked again. She was worried about her assignment and at the same time, she was scared for her sister, and anxious too.

The fact that she had sniffed the room and couldn't sense any portal out until they came back in worried her, it made her wonder what the fuck had happened but there for them to be like that and in that state. Perhaps there we smoke that they hadn't explored yet?

"Sit, because your head might spin once we're done," Ruru said and Malika sighed as she sat down. She was scared of a lot of things at the moment really because for the first time in all of history, Malika felt completely vulnerable and it wasn't good.

She never felt like this and never knew what to do in such situations. The fact that they were far from home and they still needed possible reinforcements made her head hurt.

Whatever the hell was going on at the moment needed to be explained in simpler terms before she had a meltdown, which was where she was headed if this wasn't sorted out as soon as possible.

"Nik reached out. Strange, I know. But he reached out using the bond he shared with Ruru and for the first time he sounded scared. At first, I called it a bluff because I was fucking my mate's brains out;

"But then when Ruru snapped and told me that Nik was turning to send a message, I figured it was worth knowing. So, we waited for the next message and got nothing and considered getting back out, y'know.

"There was a surge of memories, a little too many for Ruru to handle, so she shared them and it was creepy as fuck over there. Some people looked like the three of us. A truckload of them.

"It was like seeing replicas of us, but then it wasn't just a dream, it was a reality. Of course I was skeptical, but Nik said something about keeping his last promise to Razia about keeping Rukiya safe even if it cost him his life.

"That shit sounds fake as fuck, given what he had done through and through. However, there weren't many options at the moment, besides, it wasn't daily that we saw truckloads of me, you, and Ruru in the same place.

"It is sickening, but what we noticed was that there were no replicas of Mbali," Hawi began and Malika got up and started pacing this shit is insane. It sounded like some fucked up dream that Hawi or even Ruru had had.

It sounded delusional on so many fronts and yet as delusional as it was, Malika knew there had to be a truth to it. She had heard of what the Russels did when they were outnumbered.

They always found a way to turn their enemies into their allies of sorts and use the divide and conquer method. She had realized that the easiest one ended with the Mbali replica.

Then again, the Mbali that had been blasted knew a lot of things, so it just didn't make any sense up until she was blasted to ashes.

Malika had cast an immortality spell on her sister to the point that no one would ever make her bleed, or even blow her up, unless Malika herself approved it, and today she and approved of that hit, which was why it was annoying to know that her sister was kidnapped probably somewhere of the island.

"Anyway, Hawi and I took the chance. We had to make sure you didn't follow us in case it was a trap. We cast a protection spell on the ship and took an untraceable portal to the island. What we saw there is something that will forever haunt my days.

"The replicas looked so real. So damn real, and they talked and walked like us. We had to inject ourselves with silver and slow down the healing process to remind us who we were before we got there.

"They are equipping the replicas with weapons and assets that they can take us out with. As for Nik, he killed himself right after showing us what he did. He is crazy for that though.

"He was nuts, and I really hope I don't turn out like him," Ruru said sincerely and Hawi sighed. All of these were crazy.

Each day on this damned mission they were realizing that there was always going to be more of them to deal with. If it wasn't the psycho brothers there was always crazier shit that they couldn't even spell out in full.

Whatever was happening here, wasn't what was expected at all.

"But Mbali—" Maika asked, when she did not hear her sister's name on the lips of the people she trusted the most. She needed to know.

"She is with Amina. That is the only explanation for all of this. They would only make replicas of us if they had an insider. And before you think I'm accusing the young Lycan, I know what the Russel magic does, which is also why we will need the best of our best.

"Going in blind just the three of us won't do us any good. We need reinforcements from home and we need them fast. We'll need the reserve SDT warriors to help with this. I would have gone for the Sicario warriors but I don't think they will be able to take this on.

"They are behind on years and years of training and I can't risk losing Mbali too. We have lost enough. I did notice that she wasn't there with them. So that is a matter to consider too. So, think, Jabali.

"Who do you have ready when you can come and join us because they will mean no need for this boat. The final battle will eat the sacred island, and it will determine a lot then," Hawi said and Malika sighed.

Malika Jabali had dreaded such a day and yet it was staring at her in the face. She needed to think but was there even time for her to think?

The Russels had proven to be messier than she could have ever imagined and she wasn't about to let them go like that.

She refused to lose her sister in the wake of this mess and if Mbali was hurt, Malika would kill all the Russels herself even if that would cost her her life.

"The cavalry. I'll call the protector cavalry. Don't call the SDT warriors. The protectors of Olyana have been trained for this day since birth. They are the only ones we need," Malika stated and Hawi watched her silently.

"And how many protectors are we talking about?" Ruru asked.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"There are eight hundred thousand protectors trained and embedded in the packs and the realm… Should I call them all to duty?"
