The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

Chapter 320: Maybe That Was Karma

[HAWI]

"Did she just..." Malika said as she stared at the empty bed and the empty space that was in the room.

She was the only one left here with Rukiya, and frankly, that was not comforting in any way. Life was already a shit show if they didn't know what Hawi was doing and whatever she was up to.

However, then now that she had just disappeared through the portal with a Russel brother it was more than obvious that it would take a lot of energy to figure out where they both went.

Then again, Malika stared at the alpha she was left with, the beautiful girl who had seen another member of her family only to realize they were all the same in the end.

Life wasn't being fair to her at the moment, but at least the history books didn't lie when they talked about the Shadow warlocks being as selfish as possible. It wasn't the best of things, though, at the moment, it really shouldn't have been surprising for the young Greyson anymore, right?

"I'm never going to get used to all of this, am I?" Rukiya asked, looking at Malika hopefully like she wanted the protector to tell her that this was just a one-time thing and not something she needed to get used to.

Rukiya had probably thought that the beautiful dinner yesterday was the beginning of new things, and it really was. She had seen a side of Hawi that she had never seen anywhere. It was one she knew that no one had ever seen.

The woman had let herself be vulnerable with Rukiya.

Hawi had bowed her head the previous evening, asking for her forgiveness and swearing to understand her. Hawi had been understanding and apologized even though it was Ruru who had misunderstood her intentions the previous day.

She had taken the blame and made sure that Ruru was happy.

Hawi was never going to stop loving her that much she knew but there was no way that she had expected that even on their night out, they would wake up to one of her uncles trying to use her to get to Hawi, which was something that shouldn't have happened.

"I know... It wasn't you," Malika said and Hawi looked at her hopefully like she was waiting for an explanation from her protector. Malika always had the answers to things that she didn't and right now, was one of those moments.

"He did this to himself when he tried to take Rukiya's magic to come after you. Well, it's safe to say that Ruru isn't exactly pleased that everyone wants to take a jab at her mate. So, the magic turned against him and he is experiencing the aftereffects of it all.

"If Alpha Greyson doesn't take back her magic, the man will melt, literally since Rukiya was already mated to you and her magic had forgotten stronger and more protective of you," Malika explained and Rukiya sighed.

She didn't know a lot, but the fact that she was hearing that even though she had seemed useless she was quite useful, made her happy.

However, a part of her was thankful that Malika hadn't told the wolves straight-up that the man was her uncle because they would probably look at her differently. But would Hawi let the love of her life be treated like an outcast?

That was a lot to think of anyway.

Finally, Ruru understood the purpose of her magic that unlocked only when they completed the mating period.

It was strange and sweet at the same time, because she had the power to protect the girl who could protect herself and frankly it was making her feel like she wasn't a thorn in Hawi's side. Not that she ever was.

"Hey baby, took you long enough to get here. Sorry about leaving like that, I needed to make sure he didn't escape," Hawi said as she walked over to where her woman was and pulled her into a side hug, before she kissed her hair before her lips.

Ruru was still trying to understand the dynamics of everything and she was not close to getting her answers but at least Hawi was okay. That was about enough for her at the moment, right?

"Are you okay? You hurt anywhere?" Rukiya asked as she looked into the beautiful brown eyes that were focused on her like she was the only person there. She was used to that but she couldn't deny that this made her feel safer with Hawi.

"Yeah, come, let's get you rested, my beautiful," Hawi said as she walked Rukiya away from the chaos that was about to unfold.
