The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

Chapter 408 Always, My Beautiful, Always

[HAWI]

"I... I can't leave without knowing if Mbali is okay," Hawi sighed as she furiously wiped her tears. This was the first time she found herself so helpless and desperate. Her mind was filled with a lot of things that's why I didn't even know where to begin.

"Then we'll find her, I know we will. We have fifty thousand protectors, remember?" Ruru said as she looked at the mass of protectors who had shown up. They looked so ready to do whatever He told them to do.

It was like they had been waiting for this day for the longest time. Of course, to them, this was the greatest honor in all of history for them to be working for the white wolf along with the protector Malika. It was something they all hoped for in their training.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Funny how the first time they saw the crazy woman everyone was scared of, they found her at her lowest, head bent low because she couldn't even figure out what she needed to do. Then again, they understood her.

Hawi was merely twenty-eight with the responsibilities that she hadn't signed up for. She had just been a kid when everything started going sideways and now here she was, a shell of who she once was.

"I can't go home, Ruru. I can't go without winning this war. I don't even know if home is even home anymore," Hawi sighed defeatedly, and Ruru's heart broke for the woman beside her.

She had never seen Hawi defeated. And it served as a reminder that at the end of the day beneath the powerful woman who knew what she was doing, was just a girl, one who never got to mourn properly.

A girl who lost everything and waved it off because she had other thighs. That's what I need to do. She had pretended like she hadn't lost shit and kept hunting, and hunting and hunting. And now here she was, with a broken heart once again.

"No problem, Hawi. Not a problem. Come with me, I'll figure out a way and then we can make this better for everyone, alright? Just trust me, I won't let anyone ruin everything you worked so hard for," Ruru comforted confidently.

"I'm sorry I'm a mess," Hawi apologized as she straightened up, lifting her head high as if to remind herself that she was done moping and needed to get to work. She hadn't intended for this to happen, but then at the end of the day, she had feelings too.

"I love you, you know that, right?" Ruru asked when they pulled back, their lips were swollen and their foreheads resting against each other's, while her hand was still at the back of Hawi's neck like she was going to dive in for more.

"Always," Hawi whispered.

"That's my girl," Ruru said as she kissed her again, this time more passionately, like she was the happiest girl in the realm at the moment. Well, each time she's around Hawi, she was a happy soul who could do the impossible.

"Let's go kick some asses into oblivion alright," Ruru said and Hawi smiled at her, a smile that wasn't forced by the situation. It was a genuine smile and fuck, Ruru could have sworn she felt her heart flutter again.

"Thank you," Hawi whispered.

"For what?" Ruru responded, the excitement in her voice as she kissed the dry patches of tears off Hawi's face, determined to make Hawi feel better. She couldn't have her love heartbroken and defeated again.

"For not leaving? For staying? For everything... I don't know what I would have done without you. Maybe I would have—" Hawi said and Ruru could sense her rambling incoming, so she pecked her lips shutting her up instantly.

"You would have done the same for me. I know you would," Ruru said earnestly and confidently. Well, she wasn't wrong. Hawi would have done the impossible for her, just like she always did, so it would even be surprising.

"Anytime you feel sad, just look in my direction and I will make it better, no matter how hard it gets. You won't ever be alone. I won't let you walk alone, alright? So come along, pretty baby, we have assholes to fuck up," Ruru said as she pinched Hawi's cheeks.

"I love you," Hawi said as she kissed Ruru's forehead before they began walking towards the protectors, ready to face the difficult mission with their new subjects who would walk on fire if they both wanted them to.

Well, what mattered to the two crazies, was that they were together.

"I love you, always, my beautiful. Never forget that," Ruru responded proudly.
