The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[GREYSON]

"She is my best and most loyal frid. Of course, I would never leave her vulnerable to magic. No amount of magic will ever work on her, for as long as I live. And I don't plan on dying anytime soon anyway.

"Go home Malika, wherever that is," Hawi said dismissively as she walked out.

"The fuck you just say?" Malika asked angrily as she wt after Hawi. this wasn't a conversation she wasn't worried about having and in her anger, Malika used her magic to stop time, so that it would just be her and Hawi.

She may have switched bodies for a momt, but one thing about protectors was that their magic wt with them, no matter what body they claimed. It was a norm and so Hawi wasn't ev surprised at that.

"Are you deaf or what?" Hawi responded dismissively and Malika looked at her mistress like the woman needed to get some brain restructuring.

"Oh no, I'm not deaf, your fucking highness stringing along on a grief chariot. I just needed to hear what you just fucking said, so I would have a reason to kick your ass," Malika said angrily as she whipped out her sword and got ready to attack Hawi.

She knew her mistress was stressed about everything, but Malika had se Rukiya. She had se how the woman had be so worried and pressed about what was happing.

She knew that no one would ever be able to go against Hawi and get away with it and she knew that the woman was looking for a battle.

Malika was certain that that was why her mistress had be cruel to Rukiya, in the hope that Rukiya Greyson could say something, anything that could piss Hawi off ev more so Hawi could trigger a war.

However, Rukiya had be the opposite of what Hawi was expecting, and her ability to remain calm about Hawi's cruelty was something that pissed Malika off.

Someone needed to gage Hawi, to remind her that they wer't her emies and that she didn't have to be cruel to them, especially Rukiya of all the people. It was unfair on all gs and Malika seemed to have gott tired of it already.

"Nice try. Why are you so bothered anyway? The last time I checked, you wanted to kill her. Or perhaps you wanted to screw her giv you were fucking her with your eyes the whole time, no?" Hawi said carelessly, like she was not in the mood to play games with Malika.

Hawi knew she was being so cruel, but this was the only thing she wanted. Malika could either fight her or leave, and that didn't exactly seem like the best option for her right now.

"You little shit. I guess that's the same way you are blocking Rukiya from reaching out to you, again, no? Oh, I'm sorry, it must be tiring being the one with a million problems but with a girlfrid who fucking understands you, right?

"Oh to be you and really nice, I guess that's why you were playing in the field checking her out discreetly no?" Malika said as she conjured a sword and threw it at Hawi, who was finally showing signs of being pissed.

Malika had triggered something in her words and Hawi was ready to kick some ass. Her eyes had gott darker, and her claws had grown longer. She didn't look like she wanted to conjure a weapon, probably because she was a weapon herself.

Seeing the change, Malika smirked at her mistress, as she got ready to gage with Hawi. This was deserved and no matter what happed, Malika wouldn't have any regrets. At least she was sure of that much.

"For someone who doesn't know shit about emotions, you sure know how I feel about Rukiya, right?" Hawi said as she threw a punch at Malika who skillfully dodged and jabbed at Hawi, who also dodged.

It was a battle of pros and the longer they fought, the more it felt like they were faster, stronger, and more efficit. They were not getting any hits on each other, a reminder that these two were the best of warriors.

It was an interesting fight, because no matter what each of them did, the most contact they made with each other, was their arms hitting each other, and their bones, breaking and healing faster than anyone could blink.

It was an insane fight, but was giving up.

"At least I know she cares ough to try and work things out with you. What have you done for her other than make her feel like an insufficit mate. If it wer't for the blood oath, are you sure she would have stayed with you?" Malika asked and Hawi paused instantly.

This was not what she had thought of, ever. She had done a lot of things and most of the time she had assumed that she was doing it for Rukiya. But now that her protector was telling her that truth, Hawi felt like she had be a dick to Ruru.

She should have be better, but how was she to do that wh she had just left the room like a kid throwing tantrums? Was Rukiya really tired of her? Oh, but Hawi hated what she was thinking about at the momt.

It was haunting the fuck out of her, but she wasn't ready to admit it, so she figured she could continue this, perhaps that would make her feel better.

"Oh really, says the one who doesn't have the courage to admit she has feelings for someone she doesn't know how to deal with yet," Hawi said and in retaliation, Malika threw a ball of magic at Hawi's face, causing a slight tear and a bleed that healed faster.

"You don't know that," Malika said before adding instantly, "You need to grieve Hawi. Dom is dead, your people need you. Your father… He needs you."

"Yeah, right, they need me so much they decided to die on me ev after abandoning me. What an excellt way to show they cared," Haiw said angrily as she rushed to Malika and pucked her rib so hard she could feel her knuckles hurt.

"Fucig fight back!!!" Hawi shouted at Malika who hadn't ev blocked the punch wh she could have easily done it. It was not what Haiw was expecting and it frustrated her.

"Hawi—" Malika tried, before she portaled them into Rukiya's office, locked the door, and undid the time stop.

Hawi was raging.

"No. You don't get to advocate for them. Not Papa and certainly not Dom. Pa fucking faked his death before. He fucking lied to me. I mourned him for months, only to realize he faked his death!

"An… And now… Now you tell me that D… That he is murdered by Papa, of all the dumb creatures out there? My brother is strong, he can hold his own, he may be an ass, sure, and he makes me want to kill him sometimes, but he wouldn't go down easily.

"I fucking trained him to be the best warrior, so I refuse that he wt down because of Pa. It just doesn't add up and you know it too. You go to know they're faking it. I know it, my brother is stronger than Papa.

"They're faking the death to get me to go home, but I won't," Hawi said desperately as she paced a the room.

She hated what she was feeling, how everything was coming down in a span of a few years, that this could be true and she wasn't ready to accept it.

"I am not going to go back there to mourn again. I won't. Not this time. If he is dead, th he can bury himself but I know he isn't dead. He can't be. Y'know, they fucking abandoned me.

They left me alone, and without a shoulder to lean on.

"He left me wh I needed him, and now he dies? That's absolute bullshit. I'm not buying it, and if you know what's good for you, don't believe it too," Hawi said, her tears showing.

"I guess my work here is done, Rukiya. Please take care of her," Malika said as she watched Ruru rush to Hawi and pull her into a hug.

"Yeah, I will," Rukiya said, as Malika and Mbali both created two portals to take them back to where they had be.

Adolf figured he wasn't needed there too, so he left.

"Ruru—"

"I won't let go, I promise."
