Chapter 395 There Had To Be A Different Way
[HAWI]
Ruru looked at the captain sadly, her heart breaking for the man who had come to do his duty to the realm. It wasn't easy, she understood that this was not what hair was used to, but Hawi was angry.
She was disappointed in her friend even though she cared. Ruru knew that it wouldn't take long and that no matter how angry she was, she would always find a way to make things better.
She understood that and could only hope on their behalf that all of this was fine in the end because it would be messy if it didn't.
"She is a little angry at the moment. She will have a fine though, not to worry. At least she won't explode at the moment," Ruru said to the captain and the rest of the team as if that was supposed to make them feel better about having a pissed Hawi on board. Well, she was disappointed, so maybe there was still a chance that things would be alright then, yeah?
"Well, whatever it is, I am staying clear of her. The last time I saw her rip the heart out of someone, and I'm still haunted by that reality. I only came along because I was scared she would come for my head and rip my spine out of my back I would hate to be the first person she does that to.
"Imagine having your spine off your back and there isn't shit you can do about it... goddess grant me the strength to not piss her off," Drew said as he walked back to the ship.
He was horrified clearly and when he had spoken of what he was scared of, the Savasci knights couldn't help but think back to Atticus whose spine had been ripped from his back.
Atticus had been left a greasy mess that no one would ever want to live through again. That shit was fucked up. But at least there was hope for better days, no?
"Come on, let's go," Malika said right before Drew shouted from the ship, "hurry up. I saw three ships heading towards the island too. We might find them there or maybe it was all in my head, I don't know."
"Oh boy, that doesn't sound good at all,'' Mbali said as they rushed to the ship that was ready to leave the pier.
She had to make up with Hawi and knew that it wouldn't be easy finding a way out, not like this. But then maybe she just had to try her best and remind Hawi that she had just made a mistake and she was willing to make amends so it wouldn't affect them, right?
"Hawi!!" Mbali shouted when she got on the ship.
She wasn't sure what she had been expecting of a ship that looked a little more of a classy boat, but the interiors were perfect as hell. It was like a whole new world here.
Well, that was good and all but they had not traveled far from home just to be out here living on water, right?
"If your sister is here to try and mess shit up, Malika..." Hawi warned and Malika stood on her side as she waited to see what her sister had for Hawi.
But then what else was there for her? She had come up with a suggestion that she needed to be honored for some reason and if she called it off, Hawi would never trust her again.
Hawi would never look at her the same way and Mbali had fought alongside Hawi all those years just to separate in this little fucked up place. She couldn't afford that.
"Amina. She opened a mind link when she was here the last time. I didn't know about it, I swear.... Lycans always initiate the mind links, but unless she initiated it, I wouldn't know until she used it a few minutes ago;
"That was to either get off the ship or get our defenses up because her brothers sent a ship full of silver explosives and wolfsbane toward us. It is just a matter of time before we get hit.
"I know what you're thinking; if we arm ourselves with our magic, we will be giving up our position in the waters and then lead to more battles. But then if we don't and Amina is actually right, we get depleted by a week.
"That is enough time for them to explore the islands and take on whatever the fuck they need. Remember we need to eliminate the entire family before the white wolf can fulfill her mission to make the realm better.
"And even if we give up our position, the four of us are more skilled and are equipped enough to attack a thousand Russels. Surely you trust me on this, don't you, Mistress?" Mbali asked desperately as she looked at Hawi.
She knew she was asking for too much, but then there weren't that many options for them at the moment.
They needed to make a decision and fast because otherwise they would be fucked and the mission botched, not to mention everything they had worked so hard for, to make sure the realm was safe would be reduced to loads of nothing.
The Russels would take down the realm and they would do it with a vengeance to make sure that no one ever rose against them.
There was no telling how many people they had or even where, but word had it that the Russels had managed to recruit so many people across the realm and beyond.
So there was a chance that some of the crew members were sleeper agents for the Russels, just like the mission had been fucked which resulted in Adolf and a lot of warriors dying more than a year ago.
That was something they didn't want a repeat of, but then they had to decide, and fast.
"You realize I have no reason to trust you, especially with your inclination to the woman and your mate bond that you openly reject and wallow in private?" Hawi asked Ruru gasped as she stared at her mate.
If this were any lighter situation, she would have told Hawi that she was being mean, but now that she couldn't, she simply rubbed Hawi's shoulders gently like that was supposed to make things right for them.
Well, it wasn't for the best, but at least it got them hopeful that maybe, just maybe it would lessen the tension in the room at the moment, right?
