Chapter 350 Careful, You Might Break Your Heart
[HAWI]
"No… No!!!" Nik cried out helplessly when he saw his brother be reduced to ashes. This wasn't part of the lawn. He had promised himself he wouldn't lose another sibling after Razia, and yet somehow he had traded a life for another.
He hadn't intended to. He had hoped that the psychos would listen to him, but his pleas were faulty. He had expected this but goddamn, it hurt even more knowing that he had lost two siblings in the hands of these women.
Nik was furious and in his fury, he lashed out. His anger intensified his magic and floss made it darker. To the point that he freed himself from the binds that the Savasci Knights had forced him into.
He then rushed to his little brother, Kurt, and created a portal that he pushed the boy through. It was all so sudden however before he could go through the same portal, it closed on him, making the warriors feel like that was the main intention.
"You killed my brother!!" Nikolai Russel shouted at the Savasci knights as he braced himself for a fight. He was a warlock and not just any creature in the realm and even if these women were stronger than him on many fronts he wouldn't relent.
He refused to lose more people in the hands of these warriors, which was somewhat funny because they all had lost a piece of them to the Shadow warlocks. They had their families ripped from the case of the warlocks who had been too cruel to them.
"No shit, Sherlock," Rukiya said amusedly staring at the warlock like she was hoping to the goddess that he attacked the. Rukiya Greyson had a lot of anger in her and while she had managed to suppress the over the past seven months, she couldn't anymore.
She had been a good mate to Hawi when they both were living in the bubble of what their normal lives should have been. They were stuck in it for seven months and she didn't have any regrets.
But then the horrors of seeing her warriors murdered like that had still stuck with her. It was even a little too harsh and no matter what happened along the way there was no denying that life was always going to be shit for them.
Rukiya was way past all mercy stops and she wasn't about to pretend that she was feeling something for the man who belonged to the same family that had fucked up her life and that of her friends.
Adolf never deserved to die like that and Ruru would see to it that he was avenged along with the rest of her fallen.
"You had no right!! You had no fucking right to kill him! If he was wrong you have prisons, don't you? You have the most enhanced dungeon system in Sicario, don't you? You should have put him there. You should have let him face his karma.
"But then you'll thrive on blood, don't you? You laugh, you enjoy life, but at the end of the day, what the fuck do you even lose?" Nikolai asked as he gathered a whirlwind and prepared to send it toward the four Savasci warriors.
They were amused no doubt, but they were angry. How the fuck were they supposed to drill that shit into the head of this useless fuck that they had been attacked first, by the shadow warlocks? Was this the time for negotiations?
Oh, how they wanted to snap his neck into the worst places on earth, but then they had to be patient, a virtue that had been testing them more than what they needed to do over the damned years.
"Funny you may ask… UNCLE," Ruru said angrily while Malika blocked the whirlwind from even forming. It was about to be a violent fight, but then these four had been waiting for this day from the first loss they experienced.

"Razia should have killed you when she had the chance. That way this abomination shouldn't have been allowed to bloom. She should have been murdered at birth," Nik said and Ruru shifted into her wolf and threw herself at Nikolai Russell.
She had been holding on well, listening to the am ramble about things she didn't quite give a shit about, but then the bastard was constantly crashing all the possible limits there were for him. What the fuck did he even mean by that then?
"Stupid wolf, coming at me in your natural way from not knowing that I can kill you with ease like that," Nik said as he gripped Rukiya's hind limb and threw her off of him. She had managed to get a bite into him and when he threw her away, she went with a chunk of his fresh.
Nikolai looked terrible but that didn't matter at the moment. He was here for a fight, and he would get it. So, he braced himself for the fight and the Savasci Knights didn't disappoint him one bit.
"For someone who relies on the magic of the old times, you sure have your head in your ass, don't you, Nikolai?" Malika asked, throwing a rope of thorns at Nikolai, making sure they got into his skin a little too deep.
Malika didn't care about Nikolai one bit and she wasn't going to pretend that she wasn't enjoying all of this; she was having the time of her life and there was of denying that then creams and whimpers that Nikolai was struggling to hold back would be her greatest delight.
Mbali didn't like anything that came from Nikolai's mouth, so she shut him up with a magical spell that wouldn't let him be. Granted the shadow warlocks were powerful, but then none of them was ever going to be as powerful as Jabali Lycan's magic.
That in itself was one of the very reasons the Jabalis were feared in the realm.
They were the Lycans gifted the kind of magic that could counter dark magic and to make sure they kept the magic in their blood, their parents didn't break any more kids after the two of them.
"Maybe he didn't understand the question well," Hawi said when she noticed Mbali had cast a mute spell on Nik, shutting him up instantly.
When Hawi spoke, Mbali had expected that she would be told to undo the spell and yet none of that happened.
If anything, Hawi just walked over to where Nik was and punched him casually in the face like she was bored when in reality, she was just starting with him. This man wasn't going to pull the sad family act, because they had been there and done that.
They had seen what chaos came with family and they had endured it all for the same reason. This was never the intention when they had met, but now that there weren't that many options left, Hawi knew there was never going to be a chance to go back.
"Do you have answers for us, Nikolai? Useful answers on how to deal with Jeremiah, and even better, will you use your magic to track the bastard down? We can track him, but then since your brother's mafic is in him, it's easier for you to track him down," Hawi said.
She liked what she was seeing, how helpless Nikolai Russel was. It excited her and it made her think back to the thumb of the Russel siblings sitting down and discussing how they would kill Eniola and ruin the only family Hawi ever knew.
The thought of how easy it had been for those warlocks to screw her up just made Hawi even more furious. There was no way that it would ever get easier, but then maybe if they had Jer, if they could see the source of their ire, then they would be alright, yeah?
"Ngh," Nikolai whimpered helplessly as he looked into the deep soulless dark eyes that were staring at him. The grip Malika had on him was breaking his soul. He could feel the poison feeding on his soul and it was just a matter of time.
As if that wasn't enough, Nik could feel Rukiya taking back her magic that he had used to free himself white Mbali was carving his body with horrible images that would leave scars that would never heal.
Hawi on the other hand was just enjoying this. She stood there, staring at Nikolai Russel, as if waiting for her answer. She knew so well that he wasn't in a position to answer her. She knew that this wouldn't ever make her feel better.
But even then, she had hoped that maybe someday, maybe, they wouldn't have to live with the extreme rage, that maybe there was a reason for all of this, but goddam, the pain that was taking over was a little too quick.
"Do you want to talk?" Hawi asked as she traced her blade along Nikola's throat, making sure to scar him occasionally as if to give him the ultimate punishment for being a bitch that didn't know when to stop.
"He's turning red, I think he wants to say something," Malika teased when she saw his face turning red while his body was slowly turning green. It was the perfect indication of Nikolai losing consciousness and the poison spreading.
It was a little too fast and with Rukiya's magic leaving the man's body, there was only so much his magic could help him with, seeing as the magic he had thought was Rukiya's was a combination of Hawi's thanks to the mate bond.
And Hawi was turning it against Nikolai.
