Chapter 348 Goodbyes Were Temporary, Right?
[HAWI]
That evening was an emotional one for the Sicario wolves. The learning of their alpha's departure was something that they hadn't been looking forward to. They had done a lot together in the seven months that they had been together with Hawi.
Most of them wanted to ask for more time but when they heard Hawi's reason for leaving, there wasn't much that could be done. There were threats out there and there was also the possibility that the realm needed the white wolf.
They couldn't be the reasons why was held back from her responsibilities. Sure, they had known she was destined to be better, but then it didn't make it any better especially now that they were here at this particular point,
Maybe someday they would embrace the change, right?
"Treat her as you would me, because I trust her with my life. Whoever she chooses to be the beta and to help her, you must respect them. The elders she chooses as part of the elders' council must also be respected.
"I am telling you this not just because I hope to come back to a thriving Sicario, but also because I know that my sister is one of the best warriors Sicario has ever had. She was with me on the frontline my entire life and I know her.
"I trust her for who she is, the warrior and the powerful leader that she is, even before I love her as my sister. With that, you are all dismissed. Don't worry though, in case of any issues, you are well protected.
"My sister does that best," Hawi said as she looked proudly at Elodie. She would miss her, but what else was there for her? They had had a seven-month break and as much as she wanted to stay longer in Sicario, even she knew that it was pointless.
There were greater demons to slay out there.
After all, Hawi had grown to love the madness that he found in the war zone.
She was born for war.
She was earnest in everything she said. Sure, there was a chance that she was hoping for so much, seeing as the entire realm had never seen a werewolf queen completely bring peace to the realm.
Maybe she had too much hope, but that was the only thing Hawi needed at the moment was hope. The hope was that this right here, wasn't the last time she would be in Sicario for a really long time.
"That makes me feel a little better," Hawi said as she looked at her protector.
The night was still young, but the air was slowly changing. The wolves of Sicario were dejected because they wouldn't see their daughter for a long time, but this time, they were letting her leave.
They were letting her go fight the wars and come back home. They would be waiting for her, that much was certain.
The truths that had unfolded over the past free months hadn't been easy for the Sicario wolves to accept, but they were truths that led them toward the light. Those truths had seen their home bloom into the beauty it was now.
"Well, you need to get some rest, Mistress. From tomorrow, sleep will be something we will all crave. There will be days and months when we won't ever be able to sleep. So go, Mistress.
"Go hold your mate closely tonight. Go be there with her without any worries tonight, for it will be a while before we all get in touch with your humanity. Go enjoy whatever remains of the bond you adore so much;
"Because from tomorrow, you won't be walking out there as Rukiya Greyson's mate, mistress. And I won't be Elodie Kane's beloved. When the sun comes up, you will be the white wolf, and she will be the Greyson alpha.
"We will be back to our default settings. So, go. Go hold her tighter one more time for a while, because the journey we will take, is one that even the deities wouldn't be able to hold back," Malika said and Hawi stared at her defeatedly.
She wanted to say something, but then she knew Malika was right. Tonight, would be the last night they spent freely without worrying about what could happen to them or even Sicario. This was essentially what anyone would call their last night of freedom.
"You too, Malika. Go, be with Elodie too," Hawi said before they walked back to the pack house.
When Sicario woke up the next morning, the four Savasci Knights were gone.
