The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[HAWI]

"Mbali, use the digital scanner I gave you to see inside the red truck. Don't use your magic as it may cause an explosion and make them think we're onto them," Malika said to her sister who was at the gates.

They both knew how delicate the situation was and while Malika, Ruru, and Hawi watched from the Alpha's office, the duo at the gates were checking the products well before they let the transfers begin and offloading too.

"Alright," Mbali responded before she tapped on the digital scanner and began checking the truck. With each swipe around the truck, the specs were sent to the command center and the Alpha's office where they were waiting.

After two rounds of checking, Mbali stared at the truck, wondering if this was just something that had been sent here by mistake, or three as a purpose for his. Well, in the little time they had been in Sicario, Mbali knew nothing was ever a coincidence.

She was aware of how complex things are and that was also how she knew that this shit was suspicious. So, she used her magic tag and tagged the tyres of the truck, hoping that it would lead them to whatever the truck driver was headed.

"It's empty, Malika... Why would the humans send us an empty truck colored in red?" Mbali was even though a part of her was swollen connecting the possible dots that didn't sound so pleasant at all.

"The truck wasn't from the humans. The Seven are challenging us to step out of the barrier since we've been here for a long while. They are determined to make sure we get out of our comfort zone," Malika mused excitedly.

It had been a while since she had smacked someone into tomorrow and the thought of that happening with Jer and the shadow warlocks was getting her way too excited than any normal person would have ever been.

Then again, she was Malika Jabali, so this wasn't supposed to be surprising, right?

"Finish up and the both of you can meet me at Farida's stall," Hawi said and they just agreed since it would be more relaxing to be with Farida around.

Maybe it was because Farida gave Hawi the kind of comfort only a mother could. She empathized with the girl who had unlawfully lost her mother and that was worth something, right?

"Alright, and the both of you finish up too. I don't want my ice cream smelling like sex," Malika said as she walked out of the alpha's office, leaving the two mates staring at each other with tears in their eyes.

"Now where were we—'' Hawi said before she and Ruru began chasing their high.

Farida's stall was buzzing with life as the kids and adults alike came for the woman's ice cream. She was the best constant of their lives and most of the kids made sure to branch there after school or even during lunch hours.

They loved the ice cream vendor so much and it wasn't that hard to tell why, seeing as the woman was the embodiment of kindness and a life that meant everything to those that cared about her.

The Savasci Knights were currently seated in the farthest section of the ice cream park that had been built. It was a beautiful park with a roof that prevented the faster melting of ice cream. It was like they lived and loved ice cream anyway.

"Asmodeus came to me," Elodie said and the Savasi knights groaned in unison. They had seen the man and watched how he acted over the past seven months and clearly, he was greatly affected by his demotion.

Hawi had expected that he would run off with Jer when they had run off, or even be the link that Jeremiah Warner had with Sicario, but then there was nothing. It was almost like the old man was trying to live the rest of his days as an honorable man.

He always attended the meetings that Hawi called. He was always there to give some opinion just like all the Sicario wolves were entitled to one. He did try his best to make sure reality wasn't as harsh and that life wasn't as bad for him.

He had even volunteered to join the knights in their fight but then there were no empty slots in the Savasci Knights team. These five women had been to hell and back and they weren't about to let anyone fuck them up again.

"What did he not do this time?" Rukiya asked as she rested her head on Hawi's lap and watched the kids run around. She always wished she could bear some kids for Hawi, and while the time wasn't right and she knew it, Ruru hoped there could be women on such a day.

She hoped that there would come a time when she and Hawi had kids that ran around in their house, kids that made their lives better and happier, kids that gave them a reason to keep living and fighting.

Maybe she was hoping for too much, but that was it when Hawi knew what she wanted and was more than ready to give it to her no matter what happened? Hawi would do whatever it took to make sure that life was better for her people and her family?

She would make sure the smile on her mate's face never left and that was the only consolation as she always woke up and prepared herself for the king's battle. It was the final act of their war ad it would be messy as fuck.

There was no denying that much anyway.

"Just the usual. He came to ask for forgiveness for the things he had done over the past four years. He said he was doing it for Sicario and even produced logs of what he had been typing the entire time.

"I want to trust him, but it's almost a little too perfect, like he was expecting that someday this would happen and he would need proof of it. On one hand, I think he is genuine;

"But on the other, he was a little too meticulous for someone who was apparently loyal to the Sicario crown," Elodie said earnestly. She had been thinking of how it was all a little too perfect and at the same time, how wholesome it was.

They had seen so many people try to bring them down in the pretense of trust and they were just trying to protect themselves from the pain of losing even more. They had taken the worst of the hits so it was expected that they protected each other no matter what happened.

"Well, that doesn't matter at the moment. We will be leaving Sicario tomorrow anyway," Hawi said, making her friends look at her, the excitement on their faces coupled with the surprise of what was currently happening.

It was like she had just talked of the most interesting thing for them. They had been at a break for a long time and maybe it was time that they stepped out, and faced whatever adversaries were there.

After all, it wasn't like there was much that they would do within Cicero now that the pack was restored, right?

"And Elodie will be the pack alpha, that means she will be staying home," Hawi added, instantly shutting them up.
