The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

Chapter 14: Careful, Some Mistakes Are Permanent

[AWUOR]

With Rukiya gone, Awuor was left with her thoughts. A lot had happened and while she wanted to think about her misfortunes as a woman and an alpha girl, she was curious as to why Rukiya wanted her here.

The warriors who were told to escort her were keeping their distance for fear of being attacked by the woman.

They didn't know what she wanted and why their alpha wanted her, but from the moment they had seen her, they knew she would be trouble; and they were planning on keeping their distance before she decided they were useless to her.

"Aren't we there yet? I feel like I'm walking on sand," Awuor said and the warriors just pretended like she wasn't around or that they were not ordered to take care of her.

"So you guys won't talk to me, great. If you must know, I'm really famished, since I didn't go hunting. I would really appreciate it if you gave me food," Awuor said and the warriors sent a message to the Greyson kitchen to get her food.

A few more minutes, they stood before a door, one that Awuor was sure was hers to lay in. It had been so long since she slept under a roof and that too in a place that reminded her of home. The door staring at her was a painful reminder that nothing would ever be the same.

The mahogany door reminded her of the Sicario alpha's suite, the place she had woken up and found herself clawing at her mother's throat. That one incident broke her and it still hurt, even to this day.

"That's an actual door, not a shelter like the one you're used to," one of the warriors said to Awuor and surprisingly, she didn't say a word to him. She just looked at the door, then back at the warriors, before making up her mind.

"Do you have a shelter for the ferals you capture?"

"What?" the lead warrior asked, shocked by the tone this woman was using considering she looked like the goddess of death. The look on her face was lonely and sad. She looked mortified, and they didn't even understand that.

How could they, when they don't know why she had gone away from home?

She had learned to survive, but just for this moment, she would enjoy the food that was about to be presented to her.

"As you wish, my darling I could even eat you as dessert, if that works for you, y'know," Awuor said and the warriors looked at each other, almost like they were intruding in their moment. it was quite interesting how this woman was becoming more and even more confusing to them.

"Go on, boys. This will be a ladies' night. I wouldn't want her thinking we poisoned her, no?" the woman said and the warriors looked at her like they weren't sure she would be safe in Awuor's company.

They were right to be skeptical though. This woman was a piece of work and if they weren't careful, she would ruin them all.

"Alright, Sherry. But if she looks at you the wrong way, please be sure to call us. We wouldn't want alpha Rukiya murdering us for leaving her best chef with the psycho we picked in the woods," the warrior who was the other's spokesperson said and Sherry just shooed them.

She was sure they were right to be skeptical of the woman before her, but there was something different about this woman. There was an aspect of loneliness in her, and the fact that she didn't trust any ales made it certain that she wouldn't agree to take any help for the warriors.

However, until that time came, she would remain in her company.

"Now darling, the boys are gone, it's just us girls," Sherry said and Awuor looked at her skeptically, like she was studying her prey. She had fallen for her family's tricks and as much as Sherry was charming, she wouldn't fall for hers too.

It was something she had learned the hard way.

"I love food. Dammit, I feel like I haven't eaten in years. Tell me something Sherry, is your food poisoned, or laced with something to make me subconscious so I would reveal the secrets of my oh so mighty kingdom somewhere in this realm?" Awuor asked and Sherry just smiled at her.

"Darling, if Rukiya wanted to get information from you, trust me, she wouldn't lace your food with anything. You would willingly give it to her, that much everyone knows," Sherry said and Awuor got curious about this alpha. Maybe that's why she was so respected.

"Well, I wish her luck with me then."
