The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

Chapter 217: Of Warring Destinies [3]

[GREYSON - HUDHAYFAH]

"Why the fuck is my daughter having a blade, Draffin?" Razia asked angrily as she stared at her husband coldly. Surely this man was not being serious at the moment, no?

"Well, I don't know what else to do. You're her mother, you won't see her. So, I took her with me to training. She is a Greyson, she can live without her innocence, Razia. You and I already know that.

"She is the next Alpha, this is what she will be doing in the future regardless. You can't just ignore that just like you need to pretend that we didn't have a child who needed her mother.

"Hudhayfah is not the child's mother, for him to be caring for your daughter like his. You need to step up as her mother," Draffin said to his wife who is clearly not going to take that well. He knew it, but he wasn't going to apologize for it.

"Rukiya," Razia said after a long silence. She may have not wanted to associate with her daughter, but at least she could give her a name, right?

"What?" Draffin asked, confused. His wife was the only one capable of making him that confused. It was almost like Razia had a switch that could fuck him up each time. But then he had to be patient and wait it out, perhaps this was just a phase, right?

"Our daughter's name is Rukiya Greyson, Draffin. Like you said, she is strong and is rising up a little too fast. That name fits her. Now please can we continue eating?" Razia said and Draffin just nodded. The name was a thoughtful one and he loved it.

"Rukiya Greyson, my sweet little angel," Draffin mused with pride.

Rukiya's birthday cake was in a few weeks and her mother was there stiffly. She looked like she was angry all the time and with her father having her best day, Razia decided to try out her magic with her daughter.

"Rukiya!" Razia called her child for the first time since birth, and all eyes turned to her. There were mixed emotions with most of them being relief. The child rushed to her mother, excited to be with her.

Razia watched her daughter hurry, her strength so impeccable and her abilities too much for a baby her age. If Razia didn't know any better, she would have assumed that her baby was three years old or even more.

Granted, that would leave her with the guilt of never seeing her daughter after so long, but then she would be a proud mom nonetheless.

"This has gotta be interesting," Hudhayfah chuckled and the Russels looked at their sister, betrayal written all over their faces like they hadn't expected this from their sister. But then how the fuck was Razia to explain that shit to them?

There was never going to be a better time for her to step out and tell her brothers of the misfortune that had befallen them and the fact that one key to their doom had been Razia's womb product.

"Your daughter is that devil's mate? What the fuck, Razia? Why didn't you tell us? It's almost been a year and you never said shit about your child being our doom!" her brother glared at her accusingly and she just shook her head.

"How the hell did you want me to star? Huh? What was I supposed to do, huh? Tell you that hey, brothers., you know the oracle we have been fighting since mom and dad passed on?

"Well, that oracle might be true because my womb just carried the very thing that would doom us! What the hell was I supposed to explain it in?

"Don't you stand there and glare at me when you have been busy, only the damn goddess knows what and I have been stuck playing wife," Razia said angrily and her brothers laughed at her this time.

It was almost like they knew something, something that their sister was not telling, something that could make it a little harder for their mission to continue. But then did it matter, when Razia was already fucked in all the ways to hell anyway?

"You wanted to be that man's wife. You are his mate, but we told you we could mess up the mate bond, and you refused. You said he was too good and didn't deserve to be lied to, and now here you are, fucking with us about your daughter.

"Where is that little thing? Perhaps we can kill her if you don't want to do the horrors—"

"I'll kill her myself," Razia said.

Her brother chuckled.

Hudhayfah facepalmed.

And in the distance, they heard a gasp.
