The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[HAWI]

"Greetings. I want to first thank you for showing up without hesitation. Maybe that is how you were trained, but you showed up nonetheless, so thank you. I believe by now you know who we are up against and what the stakes are.

"The Sacred island is our target destination. Whether this is a hallucination or a tricky theme, that does not matter. We will all go there and check the scopes ourselves. No stone is to be left untouched.

"If you have any problems while in the mission, or feel differently, make sure to let Malika know, then we can see what to do about that. Best believe none of you will be abandoned on the islands in case you are compromised.

"We will take you to war and bring you back. It will be a challenge but it is a hope we all can have at the moment," Rurur said as she stared at the mass of protectors. She was really proud of what was happening.

She hadn't expected that he would ever see this many protectors in one palace. Funny how the people she had only ever read about in books had made an appearance and were answerable to her and her mate.

No one could have prepared her for that feat. It was worth noting in every single way because this couldn't be done by just anyone. And Ruru hoped that she wouldn't disappoint her mate who had let her take the lead.

"How large is the sacred island, Malika?" Ruru asked.

"Five thousand square miles," Malika responded and the protectors began chattering in excitement. That was a lot of land for them to go check out and it would make the hunt even more interesting.

They were fifty thousand, enough to canvas the island no matter what they ate along the way. It didn't matter that there would be crazies to deal with, as long as they were what the white wolf was, they had all the motivation they needed to make this work for them.

"Alright. In that case, divide yourselves into four teams. You will all canvas the Island from all corners, and meet at the center, where the sacred temple stands. That won't be easy, which is why there are lathe numbers here.

"Your work is to make sure that nothing goes wrong when we get there. You have five days from today to meet us at the sacred temple. Whoever doesn't make it to the temple on time, will be considered a failure and will be sent to Olyana.

"So, divide yourselves. Malika, Hawi, and I will make our way to the sacred temple. As I said, if there is anything you think we need to know, make sure to integrate it and let Malika know.

"Be careful with the Russels. They have a lot of people working for them. I hope none of you are on their side, because I will find you if that happens, and there is no telling what Hawi will do to the lot of you.

"I look forward to our interactions. Make sure to eat at the right time and stay alert, at all times. May the moon goddess be with you all," Ruru said earnestly as she looked at the protectors. They looked so excited it was heartwarming.

However, Ruru knew that there was nothing heartwarming about this admission. She had read the books on the sacred island and she knew the numbers that were leaving would probably never make it out of the island.

It was a dangerous thing for her to do, but then they all had their roles to play in making the realm a better place and their biggest foe was the Russels. The damned group of sickos who weren't about to stop anytime soon.

They were worse than any dark magic experimenters out there and that made them the primary threat to the realm's peace and their ability to live happier lives. They were cruel but damn if they won the battle that hadn't even started well.

Perhaps the protector could all make sacrifices, but then there were just some things that even the goddess would frown upon if she set her sights on. And the Russels were one such bunch.

They were dangerous and they needed to be stopped no matter what happened along the way. It didn't matter how many lives would be lost. They could sound their losses at a later time and the best vengeance for the lot of them was the death of all the Russels.

"You need to gear up too sweetheart," Ruru said to Hawi who was watching her with admiration the entire time. It is like she had seen Ruru and was falling in love for the first time again.

There was a lot that they could do in the little time they had left between the chaos they were bound to trigger and the life that lay beyond them. But then they couldn't do that this time, because they needed to have their minds in the game.

"Yes ma'am," Hawi said with a laugh as she looked at her mate. She was wafer to see what the future looked like for the both of them and no matter what they had to endure, she down there had to be one for them.

If there wasn't an adapter for her with Ruru and a happy one, how would hunt the moon goddess done and square it with her. The first time she had mentioned that to Ruru, Rukiya was scared of her and who Hawi would be without her.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Perhaps that was also why Ruru had tried her very best to stay alive and to have her sights on Hawi all the time, because without her, Hawi would spiral and the realm would be hell for everyone in it.

"How are you holding up, Malika?" Hawi asked as she looked at the protector who was trying her best to be professional. She could see Malika be at her best but deep down, she knew Malika was worried for her sister.

The protectors didn't know of her relationship to Mbali and that in itself made it harder for Malika to let them into the little secret of their mission. This was also a rescue mission for Mbali but damn, Malika was hurting.

She had promised to keep her sister safe, but then here she was, without her sister. The sibling bond she had trusted in had grown so faint that she couldn't even use it to track anything.

It was like she was going to be in the dark until they came face to face with the Russels but even then, there was no assurance that things would be alright for them. They would have to try and make things work and she would keep pretending.

She had to., because there was no other option for her, since the rules demanded that she put the white wolf first before anything in her life. Damn, she wanted to break the rules, and she could have, if Hawi didn't care about Mbali.

"I'll be fine… shall we?" Malika said as she handed Hawi her armor, ignoring the fact that she knew Hawi wanted to know more about how she felt. But then even if Hawi knew what she was feeling, would she bring her Mbali back now?
