"i need to show you someone. maybe if you see him too, i won't be going out of my mind," rukiya said as she led the way. she looked like she wanted so desperately to prove to herself that she wasn't going bonkers and that it wasn't all in her head.
maybe she was losing her touch with reality, but then she needed to affirm that because at the moment, everything seemed to be going so wrong and she couldn't even breathe well without hawi.
she wanted to know what hawi was up to, but at the same time, she was scared of the possible truth. each day, rukiya greyson woke up to an entirely different reality, one so tangled up that it got her wondering what the fuck was going on.
the universe wasn't supposed to be this challenging for them, especially when all they had hoped for was love, unconditional love. funny how that had turned them to this point ever so shamelessly, and with so much confusion.
"i see you finally found adolf, huh?" hudhayfah said, and rukiya paled. of all the things that she had been expecting to hear from hudhayfah, this was certainly not it and that itself made the greyson alpha question everything she believed in.
there was so much happening at the same time and it was so disheartening to even pay heed to. it was almost like someone was trying so hard to make sure life was not the same for them.
ever since they had started going after the russels, they were discovering things that even hell would frown upon.
nothing was working anymore and regardless of everything they tried to pretend wasn't happening, there was no denying that this was not just about insanity anymore. hell wasn't this cold.
"wh—"
"i was alive long before most of the people here were alive, rukiya. of course, i could figure some things out along the way, however unhinged they were," hudhayfah said and rukiya stared at her healer, the questions in her eyes making him feel terrible for her.
she hadn't expected that, but from what hudhayfah was saying, she needed to brace herself for the impossible and the unexpected. it wasn't what anyone ever wanted to hear, but it was a truth that they had to come to terms with because regardless of what happened the goal remained the same.
they need to make the realm a safer place for everyone. they needed to make sure that there weren't any more russels sprouting, but that wasn't going to be easy for them. perhaps it was the greatest lesson for them to learn in the midst of all this.
they just needed to have a little faith and hope to the goddess that everything would be okay along the way.
"so, what do you suggest? is adolf even real? is he even the same person that in knew before? it's been almost two years since i lost him. how do i know what is real and not real?" rukiya based frustratedly.
this wasn't how she had imagined she would be coming back to whatever mess was here. she hadn't thought of the possibilities and the fact that they had also said mbali was here raised more questions than one.
and for the first time in a while, rukiya finally understood what it meant to be in hawi's shows. the woman was feeling a lot in all the chaos and she couldn't afford to be another pain for hawi.
ruru had always known that being the white wolf had to be the greatest job in the realm, but what she had failed to consider was the fact that it would also be the worst job for any sane person.

it was a job that demanded more than they all were capable of and truly hawi needed to be given her flowers. she needed to be appreciated by everyone and they needed to come to terms with the fact that the mad wolf had every right to be mad.
she was shouldering a lot more than any sane person ever would.
"be the white wolf's mate, rukiya. that is what you need to be, the fates decided on you, despite knowing your history and your lineage. they believed in you to be there to help hawi.
"so, if you can, be her relief and not another person she has to worry about," hudhayfah said earnestly and rukiya bowed her head in shame.
