The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

Chapter 464 War For You, With You, Never Against You

[sicario]

"hawi didn't send me home... it was..." rukiya trailed off, as she racked her brain and the impossible realization. she had to be wrong, because there was no way that she was thinking like this. but what if it was true then?

"malika," hudhayfah concluded, making the women turn to look at him. he had portaled into mbali's room and with him, was beta adolf, rukiya's very dead best friend, or rather the one person she thought she would never see again.

rukiya greyson had mourned adolf for an entire year. she had been in pain and had blamed herself for his passing. she had gone crazy and tried not to show it because the mission would always come first.

she had been suffocated inside, not being able to have her best friend black, but each time it was like she would never be truly happy. hawi was the love of her life, sure, but she had felt the void that adolf had left and it broke her even to this day.

even when she had seen him in the dungeons, he had refused to accept the truth because there was a chance she had been hallucinating.

however, looking at him standing there next to hudhayfah, dressed in the normal clothes he always served rukiya with, the greyson alpha wasn't sure if she needed to be happy that it was real, or mad that she had been kept in the dark for over an entire year.

they did her dirty, but was it worth it though?

"why would she send me home? it doesn't make any sense. and if she wanted to send me home, why not greyson, why here?" rukiya asked and they sat down as they struggled to make sense of the chaos.

there had to be a relative explanation because otherwise, this was insanity they were living in. but at the same time, this wasn't going to be the first time all of this happened. so, what changed this time?

"how bout we get the facts straight because at this rate my head will blow up?" elodie said as she grabbed the nearest seats for hudhayfah and adolf. she wasn't able to handle any of this anymore.

she needed clarity.

"mbali is alive, adolf is alive, rukiya is in sicario and the sailors came with mbali's body, and the ship blew up. is there anything i'm missing?" elodie added as she stared at them like there was more but she had forgotten about it.

"that's pretty much it. but it doesn't make any sense why mbai would be here or rukiya or even adolf. so, what now?" hudhayfah said as she looked at mbali who was clearly healthy and undead.

she looked like she had had enough too. hell, they needed to be on the battlefield and they needed to make things right for the realm. they couldn't sit by and watch as if this was some sort of circus that they were waiting for things to be right for them.

"you really don't see it, do you?" adolf spoke and they like to him as if to ask what he meant, when he had been in the dungeons for an entire year and never once came out of there to tell his state.

"her magic has us stable, but what if we didn't have her magic over us? what if we were just plain wolves and lycans and healers, would we still want to join the fight? that is the question we are all needed to answer," adolf said as he looked at them.

he knew this wasn't the easiest question, but it was so they needed to answer because otherwise they are going in blinded by their loyalty to hawi.

the war was more than just hawi and it was somewhat ironic that the man who was making them see sense was the first one to meet hawi in the free lands and send her to greyson.

but perhaps that was also how fate worked. no one ever really knew what tomorrow we would like and they all just had to live their truths, right?

"absolutely."

"i fought beside her long before i knew she had magic."

"even without the mate bond, i would fight for her."

"she's power even without the power she has as the white wolf."

"she has proven herself to be a worthy leader. even if she wasn't the white wolf with so much responsibility, i would trust her with my life," elodie concluded with pride as she threw back to the woman she had loved like a sister.

it was obvious how far they would go for hawi, with or without her powers. it was something either stupid or very brave, seeing as she had protected them all in ways that no one had ever been protected.

they had been loved by her and kept safe by her because she was the girl scared of losing. and subconsciously, they had all let her protect them without releasing that what she needed were people who would fight beside her, regardless of the risks.

people who would remind her that they didn't have a reason to fear anything. that they could do this together, even if it meant that they would eventually die. they were warriors and the battlefields were their gravesites. it is all just a matter of time anyway.

"then we all have our answers," adolf said just as the sicario bells began ringing a little too loudly. it was not something they had expected and the surprise on their faces as they looked at adolf was obvious.

"that's not my doing," adolf defended.

"what's happening?" mbali asked.

"the protective domes are coming down," elodie stated in surprise.
