The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

Chapter 483 Break My Heart, As Always [1]

[RUKIYA]

Night had birthed day and even then Mbali and Rukiya didn't see any sign of Hawi and Malika. They had gone inside the temple, but stepped out when the sun rose because it was dark and there was nothing they could do.

Even when morning came and they went to sniff around, they couldn't get any hints of the two women. It wasn't what any of them had anticipated and it was safe to say they had gotten to the point where they were panicking.

Rukiya had been trying her best the entire night not to go back home, but then right now with no sign of Hawi or even Malika, the only thing she could think of was that they had left.

But how was that even possible when there wasn't any other portal that had been created outside of the sacred island?

They had gone down the thousands of stairs and come right back up and they didn't see shit; it was like the two women had decided to go to some damned vacation and forgot about the part where they had people relying on them.

It was crazy to some extent, but was that that they had always interacted with?

"Do you think they..." Rukiya asked softly as she looked at the Sifir in her hands. She had been holding onto it for the entire time, like it would suddenly tell her of where her mate was, but frankly, there had been nothing.

She was out of options and the possibility that her mate and the protector had been forced into the Sifir were growing higher and higher. It wasn't even helping their case anymore. What the fuck was even happening to them at the moment anyway?

"Don't finish that sentence, Rukiya. Don't. We have seen that duo do worse things than disappearing. They have to be around here somewhere. Besides, we still haven't explored all the options we have left," Mbali said.

Rukiya stared at her like she had grown another head. They had been at this for the entire evening and night, now it was morning and their search had yielded nothing. It was like they had been hoping and hoping for shit that would never be a reality.

That was the worst of things that they could encounter and yet somehow, in the middle of that mess, Jabali Lihle was already hopeful, again. Find more to read at empire

"What other option is there, Mbali? I didn't take you to be the sentimental one, but hey, looks like you have a range of options on you, don't you?" Rukiya said and Mbali just took out her blade and stared at the white wolf's mate.

Rukiya could already see where this was headed, but she didn't like it one bit. This was insanity and they could all lose their sanity because of this.

There were a lot of things that were happening around them and there were so many improvisations that caught their attention and yet each time they managed to make a mess of their lives and everything around them.

"Well... it's not poison, but it's not healthy either. Especially at war," Mbali said as she took a few steps back to make sure that Rukiya didn't try to wring her neck.

She would let her, but then that would just waste their time and it wouldn't help their chances of finding Hawi or Malika. They had to make a lot of decisions out of the battlefield and it was all so fucked up at the end of the day.

"Keep talking," Rukiya said as she gritted her teeth.

She had never felt a pain this unbearable in a really long time and she hoped that it would be over soon enough, because she was getting to the point where she wouldn't be able to take it anymore without passing out.

"It will give you lots of hallucinations and make you think that... I'm sorry, Ruru," Mbali apologized earnestly.

"... it's to make me relive my worst pains... just great," Rukiya sighed as she looked at the apologetic warrior beside her.

"Will it at least get Hawi to know where we are?"

"Yes. it will bring her to you, whether she's chained in the Cezaevi or anywhere."

"I see. I hope it works for your sake, or I'm going to tell your little Amina that you spent an entire month crying over her," Rukiya threatened.

"You wouldn't."

"You fucking stabbed me without casting a counterspell on the blade... I definitely would."

"Fuck me."

"Respectfully, no," Rukiya said before she was thrust into her worst nightmares.

The saddest part of all this, was that even her worst fears and pains were linked to Hawi.
