Chapter 468 Some Things Had To Be Done
[russel]
"now what?" amina asked once they were out of the cage and she held the sifir in her hand. she could tell that this thing was of more value to them than it ever was for hawi even though the mad woman had left it out there for them.
awuor haw didn't care what they wanted to do with the sifir, because she knew they couldn't hold her anywhere with it. she was born with the power to decide the fate of so many people and this time she had given the russels a chance to choose.
they could either run away or stay and wait for hawi to come back for them once she was done with her little adventures in the temple, which clearly could take hawi longer than they could ever think to consider. well, the woman was a psycho after all.
"we make the toughest choice," sebastian said, his tone cold as he looked at his siblings who could tell that something was wrong here.
usually, sebastian used that tone with them when they were in the wrong, but here and now, they were on the same page, no?
"what do you mean by that?" trey asked and sebastian looked at him like this wasn't exactly what they had wanted or hoped for.
they had come here together and were supposed to leave together. and well it would have gone according to plan, if the fact that more of them were getting mated to their enemies wasn't a fear they had.
the russels had long been shaken by that same group of misfits and to think that they would be bearing the same cross with the savasci knights was something that sebastian considered so dangerous.
it wasn't easy for them and it was understandable, but even that was something that they had to hope would work in their favor.
this wasn't the time for them to start thinking about more than they would take in, but it was the only reality left for them at the moment. none of this would ever make any sense if they were being truthful.
the fact that they were being bested was the worst they had ever encountered in all of their existence and that was something that seb clearly had tried to figure out along the way in the hope that it would yield better results, but had it?
"you know what i mean, amina. you and trey have become liabilities to the cause we are fighting for," sebastian stared ever so calmly as he took the sifir from amina's hands.
he knew this wasn't what his sister had been expecting, but then they had been forced to lead lives they never wanted for the longest time, right?
the past five years had been chaotic for them because the girl they were scared of had finally found footing and couldn't easily be destabilized, because she was way unstable even with an entire day of the chaos in her life.
life wasn't as easy and never came with a manual. so, they would have to try and make things right for themselves either way.
"the cezaevi. it is not the best place for both of you, but i promise it won't be for long, i will come for you. alex and i have to finish fighting a battle on our own. you held on and fought with us for long, but you have let us take care of you this time, yeah?" sebastian said.
trey sighed defeatedly. he had never wanted to punch his brother in the face so hard like he wanted to right now. he hated that this was what had to be done and he hated that it wasn't even the time for them to be making their own decisions.
trey knew that malika would always protect their own, so he was banking on hudhayfah being safe until the time he officially met him. he hoped that if ever that time came, he would be happy.
they would be happy together and there wouldn't be a reason for them to stay apart anymore. perhaps it was a long wish for a soul that had been used to this song, but they had to hope, right?
if anything, for their hope in the bonds that they had been granted, a bond so precious and one they had both held onto subconsciously for the longest time. they would be fine, it was the only thing they could tell each other at the moment anyway, yeah?
"fine, if that is what you think is best," trey sighed.
he didn't have the energy to fight his brother, because he was busy scouring brains for anything about hudhayfah. he had heard the name one too many times in his time, but he had never imagined that he would be his perihan.
he could tell that his sister had also had a hard time telling him about that particular truth because they had been born vines. there was never going to be a chance for them to have any happy memories together.
it didn't matter that they were trying their best to hold on, because, at the end of the day, they would always have to choose. hopefully, when the war was over they would have to choose. but what if their mates did that to them?
what if they didn't have the strength to get things done for them? what if they didn't have that much energy left to even fight for their beloved? would it all have been worth it?
"do it," amina said as she looked around. perhaps in another lifetime, they would be happier and without constricting choices, right?
"see you soon, dear ones," sebastian said as he cast a spell with the sifir and sent his siblings through. read new chapters at empire
however, before amina could go through, she caught a whiff of mbali's scent. she wasn't even able to ask about it because her brother had forced her to get into the cezaevi.
fuck.
