The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[HAWI]

Hawi knew this wasn't easy for Malika so she wasn't even going to push. The fact that they were here and not home was enough proof to her that the war was taking a toll on them.

They had been divided more than once and now on the worst battlefield, only she and Malika were left standing. It wasn't easy especially with the risk of loss continuing with every breath that they took.

They had sent everyone home, and away from the war that would consume them. It was a lonely risk and yet even then they struggled to hope and believe that someday they would go home.

Experience tales with empire

There was no talking when they would but hope was the one thing that was keeping them a little sane.

"You can't lose yourself if we're going to find Mbali. The risks are not great right now but we have to at least have one alive to keep the truth intact. You know more than anyone how much Mbali loves Amina.

"If you take her out then you will have a problem with Mbali and that is too great a risk to the bond of family and sisterhood that you fought to keep. Now focus, Malika," Hawi said as she pulled back from the hug.

She knew this wasn't the easiest thing for Malika and she understood her well. Hell, Hawi would burn the world for Elodie without so much as a second thought.

But here and now, Amina was important to Mbali and as much as killing Amina was appealing, they needed to make sure Mbali didn't hate Malika for that. It was too big a risk and it would keep them apart for ages.

Hawi didn't want that for the sisters.

"They're here for the Sifir," Malika said and Hawi looked at her as if she was talking in a different language.

However, it was obvious that whatever that was, it had to be so important that they risked playing games with Hawi and Malika just to get here. It was a costly trip one that Eman they would probably never be able to go home.

This was not what Hawi had expected but then in this war, she had long learned to never hope for anything.

Everyone here always had something to look for something that would make it easier for them to live their lives and it didn't matter that there would be lives in danger along the way. The only thing that entered was that at the end of the day, there was a winning side.

"What's a Sifir, Malika?" Hawi asked and she went the way Sebastian and Amina were glaring at Malika before they turned to look at the temple, almost like they were praying to the goddess that their brothers got whatever that was.

It was a tough stage of the war and no matter how they looked at it, this was the war that would eat them up one by one until there was nothing left for them to consume.

Fate was a bitch in one too many ways and it wasn't surprising that they had gotten to this point. Perhaps there was no other way or image; this was their way out. But how important was this Sifir then?

"A cipher to the Cezaevi, the only place that can forever hold them if ever the white wolf decides not to kill them. The Cezaevi is a prison worse than death for creatures like them.

"And from the way things are and their adamance, it seems like they have figured that you won't kill them. Or perhaps they are trying their best to cover their bases," Malika said angrily as she watched Amina and Sebastian.

She was mad at everything that had happened and that Amina hadn't once asked her about her sister whether bitch was always singing about how she loved Mbali calling her sister 'princess' and 'mi reina' and a lot of pet names that never once made any sense to Malika.

And yet even then, Malika had let everything be. She hadn't tried to come between them because this psycho was the one person her sister had accepted. It was not the best of things but Malika wanted to see her sister happy.

Funny how her desire to see her sister happy had landed her in a place where the universe didn't care about them or her sister. What the hell kind of bond was this that Malika and Amina shared then?

"Well, well, well, isn't that the best thing I have heard of since this war ever started," Hawi chuckled darkly as he looked at the temple. She knew what it meant to lose everything, how it felt to be on the side of history that had nothing of love and pain.

She had suffered because of this particular family and if there was an eternal prison that she could send them to, and watch them suffer for all eternity, then that was an option Hawi was very much open to.

The memory of her father in the Sicario dungeons because of Jer came back to her. The way her father had suffered, the pain she had felt when she stood there and watched helplessly as her father drifted in and out of consciousness, with just her name on his lips.

She remembered how they had made her hate her father when in reality, her father was just another victim.

Oh, they had ruined her father. The rage that Hawi had felt that time came back and the clouds began gathering, as the skies grew darker in the morning that had been so warm and beautiful.

The pain she had felt in that time when she watched her father fade, and she couldn't do shit other than watch as the people she had trusted turned against her. The pain she had felt when Jer wasn't even bothered about how harshly he treated her father.

Hawi remembered it all.

The rage was so pure, and the anger had a direction this time, the pain she had felt, had something to be replicated into, and even as her eyes went dark and her hair turned red with rage…

Hawi knew she was never going to be the woman who forgave people she was never going to be the girl with the dreams that many would ever consider normal. She was always, always going to be the broken girl, but this time, she was the broken girl who would get her purest form of justice.

The vengeance that had gotten her spiraling into endless rejection. The pain she had felt when love and life had started fucking with her. Hell, Hawi was raging so mad that Malika had to take a step back, when the skies started bleeding, and the rains fell in the form of blood, while the hills were not as icy as they were long known to be.

Instead, the hail was literal rocks, and there was a storm of it all.

These people had taken everything for her and she may have been lenient, and humane because of Rukiya, but as she watched Malika and then the siblings, Hawi knew that humanity is only the worst game ever. She was the great evil and they would know why she was that.

"It's a time to party sweet cheeks," Hawi said with a smirk as she stared at the Russel siblings who had just stepped out of the temple. Worried about the intense storms in the morning that had been as clear and had no signs of chaos.

And the beast or the worst part of it all… was that the entire realm was experiencing this.

Even Sicario.

"Trey, no!!" Amina cried out as she watched her favorite brother get swung against the wall, the sound of Trey's breaking bones making even Malika cringe.

She had the displeasure of watching as her brother's bones were torn like he was just a piece of clothing. Amina definitely lost her mind there.

She hated this.

She was more than ready to switch places with her brother, but what else could she do when the acid on the walls of the damn cage was determined to drive her to insanity?

The blood rain wasn't even making it easier for them in that cage and she was certain she was bound to lose her mind. That was the only other explanation she could think of at the moment.

"Please don't hurt him," Amina begged but Hawi was way beyond what anyone could bargain with, she had seen prey and she was angry, everyone knew what happened when Awuor Hawi was mad, and Amina knew what was bound for her brother too.

She had seen the chaos that Atticus had gone through in her mind and she was still haunted by that truth to this date. She knew that shit couldn't get any worse than it already was.

"You have no right to strike a bargain right now. You had all the time in the world and you didn't bother to make it right. Why the fuck should I listen to you? You took everything that I loved;

"... You left me with nothing so why should I be merciful just because you're begging?" Hawi asked furiously and Amina felt her heart sink into her stomach.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She had never wanted this to be what she spoke of, but she didn't have a choice at the moment. Looking at Hawi, Amina took a deep breath, before she spoke the words that could either doom her, or the words that could save her brother.

Oh, how she hoped it would save her brother, because this, this wasn't it for them.

"He's Hudhayfah's mate! If you kill him, you will not only be going to war with the greatest healer of all time, but your mate, Rukiya Greyson will never forgive you for that!!" Amina shouted and everything came to a standstill.
