The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[SICARIO]

"You're hurting me, please, stop, I beg of you," Malika fake cried as she let her tears flow and reddened her eyes to make her seem like she had really been hurt by Elodie.

She was going to swell whatever this was for as long as she could and she didn't care that she seemed more psychotic with every word that came from her mouth. She had a performance that was due and she was going to make it count.

However, as the door flew down, Elodie asked a second question in Malika's ears, one that got Malika certain that she had fucked up. It was a question so unexpected, given the events of the day, but Malika should have known better.

"Why did you, and Hawi try to erase my memories today?" Elodie asked and Mlika stiffened, forgetting that she was supposed to be the weak woman who was saved from Elodie by the warriors.

The protector stared at the wolf before her and for a moment she considered forcing a confession out of Elodie, but she knew that would confirm everything that Elodie was thinking, which she didn't want.

Malika was sure she only had two options; to play right onto Elodie's set stage, or deny the facts with all that she had.

She didn't care that that would definitely make Elodie think that she was crazy, but with everything that was happening, Elodie Kane was sincerely not even on Malika's list of people she needed to worry about.

She still needed a way to get to Hawi and the woman who was before her wasn't going to make it easier for her. So Malika decided to keep on playing.

"I'm so sorry. Please don't kill me. Please… Whatever my husband did, please forgive him, please, Miss Kane," Malika said as her tears made a show.

For the first time, Elodie found herself staring at a woman who was easily the craziest bitch she had ever seen.

There had to be something else in the air because this surely couldn't be the same woman who had been so strong earlier and the woman who never gave shits about anything save for Hawi.

This wouldn't be the woman who had been ready to kill her until ahwi stopped her right? But what if Elodie Kane was hallucinating?

"Step away from Luna, miss Kane," the enforcer, Theo, said to Elodie in a voice that Elodie knew so well.

Over the eyes, Theo had been promoted from the gates to the enforcer of the pack, and now that Dom was dead and the alpha way saying on the ground, it was Theo's responsibility to make sure that Luna was safe and well protected.

"Don't tell me you believe the little bitch standing there. She is a fucking lying machine!" Elodie said angrily as she looked at Theo like she wanted to make Theo understand how dangerous Malika was.

The odds were certainly not in her favor this time. Everything wasn't looking good for her and the sooner she accepted her fate, the sooner everything would be over and done with.

Malika hadn't become a protector by being weak and gullible. There was a reason she was ranked high on the list of the top protectors in the realm.

She was perfect for the job and if Malika had to be a darn turtle, then if that was the only way to protect Awuor Hawi Sicario, then damn right she would do it without so much as a thought.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry," Malika cried and that seemed to get to Theo because his eyes got darker and he looked at his warriors and then at Elodie who was staring at Theo helplessly. She would never win this. This was Malika she was dealing with.

"Get her out of my sight. I don't know what she ends up getting with this, but get her out of here,'' Theo said, and Malika let out an exaggerated sigh of relief, before she rushed to her husband who was on the ground.

This useless bitch on the ground needed to die, and if Theo and the remaining two warriors haven't been in the room, there was a chance that Malika would have taken Jer with her and taken him to Olyana the land beyond the land of the protectors.

She would then torture him in ways that hadn't been invented yet to the point that by the time she would be done with him, Jer could only think of one thing. The urge to end his life.

And even then, Maika wouldn't grant that because she would throw him in a cryo-freeze chamber and let the bastard freeze to near death, only to get him out for a while and throw him back there.

Oh, but Malika despised Jer so much, and with her anger right now, she felt like she could probably bring down the whole of Sicario.

"Please husband, please wake up. Please," Malika pleaded and Theo felt his heart shattering for the women who were bent over their alpha.

She looked pitiful and the longer, Theo looked around the room, the more he was sure that this room wasn't the best place for the alpha and his luna to be in.

Maybe they would transfer them to another room while the alpha healed. That was the only solution anyway.

"Luna, please let us take him to the infirmary. You can come with us. He will end you when he wakes up.

"We will deal with the mess Miss Kane created and we'll also start the procedures for Dom's funeral," Theo said respectfully as he held Malika and helped her up.

Malika looked hopeless and she looked like she was the most heartbroken woman in Sicario and frankly, she was. Not because Jer was unconscious and certainly not because of Dom's death—

—But because even after all the chaos, Malika had been unable to reach Mbali and Hawi. This wasn't right and she was worried about them.

The fact that Hawi had been the one to close the mindlinks meant that Malika didn't have the authority to open the links. Of course, she could open them but that would probably punish her in the worst of ways.

"But my husband… Will he be okay? Please don't let him die," Maliak cried even though she could hear Jer's breath steadying. The stupid bastard was awake and had regained consciousness.

That little tart was already communicating with The in the links to make sure Malika was safe.

"He is a little hurt, but he will be okay, Luna," Theo said and Malika looked at her once again, and then at Theo before she made her choice.

Maybe Hawi would punish her forever for what she was about to do, but Malika knew that she was ready for any punishment. She would accept anything, as long as she found out what was with Hawi and why she had not responded.

Malika was scared of Hawi, and rightfully so, because the woman was easily the cruelest wolf in the whole realm. Hawe Sicario was the fear of every creature in the supernatural realm.

She was what many could call the bastard ruler without a heart.

"Oh dear, I thought he w… Then… Y…" Malika said before intentionally making herself faint. She was on a mission and the dumbhead Jeremiah wasn't the priority this time.

"Luna—" Theo tried but Malika had fallen unconscious.
