The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

Chapter 425 Killing Me Softly

[SICARIO]

Captain Drew could see the change in the Sicario alpha and he was sure that it had to be serious. He was confused at first, when Elodie let him hug her, when she had never been done for physical touch.

Elodie Kane was the one puzzle that the sailor had never once understood no matter how hard he tried. However, seeing her here, so lost and so angry, Drew could tell that she needed someone to hold her.

Something had happened out there, something that got her like this and he would figure it out. But first, he needed everyone to leave, so he did just that.

"Everyone, give us a minute," Drew said and Elodie didn't say anything. She could have contested this and made it out to be a long road that they could fight on and forget about everything but it wasn't that easy.

"She will probably start a fight and make it like you started it. We're not leaving," Rio, the captain's second said as he looked at Elodie. He understood that there had to be a reason for Elodie to be there like this but even that was never going to be enough to make him ease up on Elodie.

The woman could turn their captain into a barbecue and they wouldn't be able to do much about it because she had the strongest army in the world to back her up. She was crazy too and that frankly didn't sit well with Rio.

That was not something he would let go easily. Elodie may have despised the captain, but the captain was everything to his team and Rio refused to jeopardize that because of an apparent low moment for the crazed alpha.

It was just too much of a risk and there are so many odds that this wouldn't even be worth it in the end. But what if it wouldn't be worth it?

"We're not leaving too. There is no telling what you lot will try without alpha given how unhinged everything has been since you breached the borders and didn't give the most proper of expansion to the alpha," Theo bit back.

Rio stared at the man he was mated to like this was some sort of shit show. Granted, they were still not ready to explore the basics of the mate bond given where they were at the moment, but damn if they started crashing this early.

They had been a team and with one of them down, they wouldn't be able to function properly. Everyone in that forsaken team had a role that kept them together.

Elodie was always meant to pump reason into Hawi and make her understand some of the things in life that Awuor Hawi never understood with ease. Mbali was there to be the warrior that Hawi needed, while Ruru was there as the mate and the other piece of the prophecy.

Malika was there to make sure the prophecy we protected and even more she was there to nurse that no matter what happened the mission went on.

Hudhayfah was part of the team because he made it easier for the kids to understand what life was and Hawi was the leader because of the prophecy, and almost because she fought well.

If Mbali was down, then an aspect of the team they had forged so dearly would be broke and that didn't seem like the best thing at the moment.

"You little bastards," Hudhayfah sighed as he walked over to where Theo was, and grabbed the warrior by the ear before walking over to where a surprised Rio was and grabbed the sailor by the ear too.

Hudhayfah looked like he had just found the troublemakers he had been looking for and frankly it was beautiful and crazy at the same time, especially with how calm the healer was.

You would think that this was just normal and that these two people hadn't just met first today. Then again, even if that was the case, Hudhayfah Karim didn't care about shit.

"You can't do that!" Rio said and Theo sighed as he looked at his mate.

"Will you just fucking shut up?" Theo retorted while staring at Rio who was defiant and protecting.

Granted they both didn't know why they were being dragged by the ears, but one thing that the Sicario warriors had long learned, was to leave when Hudhayfah stepped in because the man was a hundred bouts of crazy, it just didn't make sense and yet made sense most of the time.

"Did you tell me to shut up?" Hudhayfah asked and that was the cue the Sicario warriors needed to run out of the operations building. The sailors followed suit even though they didn't know why they were running.

One thing they were sure of though, was that they needed to do it.
