The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[HAWI]

Ruru looked at the captain sadly, her heart breaking for the man who had come to do his duty to the realm. It wasn't easy, she understood that this was not what hair was used to, but Hawi was angry.

She was disappointed in her friend even though she cared. Ruru knew that it wouldn't take long and that no matter how angry she was, she would always find a way to make things better.

She understood that and could only hope on their behalf that all of this was fine in the end because it would be messy if it didn't.

"She is a little angry at the moment. She will have a fine though, not to worry. At least she won't explode at the moment," Ruru said to the captain and the rest of the team as if that was supposed to make them feel better about having a pissed Hawi on board. Well, she was disappointed, so maybe there was still a chance that things would be alright then, yeah?

"Well, whatever it is, I am staying clear of her. The last time I saw her rip the heart out of someone, and I'm still haunted by that reality. I only came along because I was scared she would come for my head and rip my spine out of my back I would hate to be the first person she does that to.

"Imagine having your spine off your back and there isn't shit you can do about it… goddess grant me the strength to not piss her off," Drew said as he walked back to the ship.

He was horrified clearly and when he had spoken of what he was scared of, the Savasci knights couldn't help but think back to Atticus whose spine had been ripped from his back.

Atticus had been left a greasy mess that no one would ever want to live through again. That shit was fucked up. But at least there was hope for better days, no?

"Come on, let's go," Malika said right before Drew shouted from the ship, "hurry up. I saw three ships heading towards the island too. We might find them there or maybe it was all in my head, I don't know."

"Oh boy, that doesn't sound good at all,'' Mbali said as they rushed to the ship that was ready to leave the pier.

She had to make up with Hawi and knew that it wouldn't be easy finding a way out, not like this. But then maybe she just had to try her best and remind Hawi that she had just made a mistake and she was willing to make amends so it wouldn't affect them, right?

"Hawi!!" Mbali shouted when she got on the ship.

She wasn't sure what she had been expecting of a ship that looked a little more of a classy boat, but the interiors were perfect as hell. It was like a whole new world here.

Well, that was good and all but they had not traveled far from home just to be out here living on water, right?

"If your sister is here to try and mess shit up, Malika…" Hawi warned and Malika stood on her side as she waited to see what her sister had for Hawi.

When Mbali had shouted Malika had portaled to where Hawi was. If it was true the Russels were here then there was no use for them to keep hiding their magic. They would need it in the flight anyway.

"I hope not, Mistress," Malika said with cruelty as she waited.

"Lift all the magical constraints, now!!!" Mbali shouted to the captain who had long steered the ship from the dock.

They were not sure how fast they were going or how long they had been in theaters for, but the look on Mbali's face didn't look any good. It was like she had seen something that shouldn't have happened.

"What the fuck are you on about?" Hawi asked even though she had been expecting that they left the constraints. They were going into the deep sea where there would be no reinforcements.

They were their own reinforcements and if they went in without any powers to their names, they would be fucked a little too faster than they would ever comprehend.

They had to do the math and make sure that at the end of the day, everything was alright and they didn't lose anyone. Not their team and definitely not the crew on the ship. It wouldn't be a damned mission.

"The Russels… they know we are here and their ship is heading towards us," Mbali said and Hawi snickered as she peeped and couldn't see any ship.

Sure, the knights were still in the distance, but then they could have surely seen whether there were any converging ships on their end, right? This woman was just a tad bit more delusional and she needed to snap out of it.

But what were the chances that she was playing games with Hawi to see whether they would react? As much as the Savasci nights were always together and trusted each other, their pranks were always the worst of the world.

If anyone didn't know what they meant, the parks would always lead them into traps that they always had to work their asses off. And right now, Hawi was calling the bluff.

"Nice try to make me forgive you," Hawi snickered and Mbali sighed as she turned to her sister.

"Freya, please. If not for our sakes then for the sake of the wolves on this ship. The Russels are coming and they wont stop until we are out of the waters. This is going to be messier given it also takes a while to conjure a little thing like a boat or even a ship.

"And mind you we can't fly and we can't portal to the island because to the regulations by the old religion. Help me out here please," Mbali insisted and her sister stared at her skeptically.

They were literally walking on thin ice around Hawi at this point, especially after the little stunt that Mbali had pulled earlier.

If this was just another stunt, she wouldn't be able to save her sister no matter what the situation ever was and Malika hadn't worked her ass off trying to save her sister from herself only for the woman to wet herself in more trouble like this.

"Calm down, Lili. Where the fuck did you even get that information?" Malika asked and Mbali sighed. It is almost like she had a source but couldn't divulge that because of how Hawi would react.

But then what else was there for her? She had come up with a suggestion that she needed to be honored for some reason and if she called it off, Hawi would never trust her again.

Hawi would never look at her the same way and Mbali had fought alongside Hawi all those years just to separate in this little fucked up place. She couldn't afford that.

"Amina. She opened a mind link when she was here the last time. I didn't know about it, I swear…. Lycans always initiate the mind links, but unless she initiated it, I wouldn't know until she used it a few minutes ago;n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"That was to either get off the ship or get our defenses up because her brothers sent a ship full of silver explosives and wolfsbane toward us. It is just a matter of time before we get hit.

"I know what you're thinking; if we arm ourselves with our magic, we will be giving up our position in the waters and then lead to more battles. But then if we don't and Amina is actually right, we get depleted by a week.

"That is enough time for them to explore the islands and take on whatever the fuck they need. Remember we need to eliminate the entire family before the white wolf can fulfill her mission to make the realm better.

"And even if we give up our position, the four of us are more skilled and are equipped enough to attack a thousand Russels. Surely you trust me on this, don't you, Mistress?" Mbali asked desperately as she looked at Hawi.

She knew she was asking for too much, but then there weren't that many options for them at the moment.

They needed to make a decision and fast because otherwise they would be fucked and the mission botched, not to mention everything they had worked so hard for, to make sure the realm was safe would be reduced to loads of nothing.

The Russels would take down the realm and they would do it with a vengeance to make sure that no one ever rose against them.

There was no telling how many people they had or even where, but word had it that the Russels had managed to recruit so many people across the realm and beyond.

So there was a chance that some of the crew members were sleeper agents for the Russels, just like the mission had been fucked which resulted in Adolf and a lot of warriors dying more than a year ago.

That was something they didn't want a repeat of, but then they had to decide, and fast.

"You realize I have no reason to trust you, especially with your inclination to the woman and your mate bond that you openly reject and wallow in private?" Hawi asked Ruru gasped as she stared at her mate.

If this were any lighter situation, she would have told Hawi that she was being mean, but now that she couldn't, she simply rubbed Hawi's shoulders gently like that was supposed to make things right for them.

Well, it wasn't for the best, but at least it got them hopeful that maybe, just maybe it would lessen the tension in the room at the moment, right?
