The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

Chapter 509 Save Your Tears For Another Day

[RUSSEL]

Mbali's question was like a gut punch to trace who had been hoping his sister was doing better than him. They hadn't stayed long in the Cezaevi, but the horrors of that place were things that he wouldn't ever wish on his worst enemy.

Granted, they were out of that place at the moment, but as he looked at his sister, Trey could tell that she was affected by all that had happened. It wasn't going to be easy, but what the hell was left for them to do right now?

They had to live and find a way through the storm that had finally come knocking. It wasn't the best of things for them at the moment, but then it wasn't the worst either.

They still had hope, even if that hope was easily the most toxic of things that they had to deal with at the moment. What if they fought back? Would they end up like their brothers who were long dead by now?

"You don't know that, Amina. From the way you talked about her, she cares about you. Even if she doesn't, you still have me, sister. I will be here regardless of the outcome of all of this.

"And if there comes a time when we are separated, I can only hope it is because I gave my life to save yours," Trey said earnestly as he looked at Amina who was defeatedly staring at him.

She was desperate for something to hold onto and Trey understood her well.

He knew this wasn't what they had planned for and at the same time, he could tell that nothing was doing as they had planned in the beginning, which meant that their kind of hell would make things a tad bit scarier for all of them.

This wasn't the kind of battle that would end well for the Russel siblings and they both knew it, which was why it was even more heartbreaking to think of what could happen with them.

"I'm older than you," Amina said with a sad chuckle.

"I have trained to be a warrior for the longest time."

"I have seen more battlefields than you."

Her brother was brave as always and she couldn't have wished to be here with anyone else.

Sure, her other brothers were done, but then the fact that they all had a role to play in this mess, made her feel a little better because at the end of the day, perhaps they would find themselves on the other side of the afterlife, with their family.

Maybe then they would just be a normal set of warlock families without thousands and one enemy who wanted them gone, not to mention a broken girl who was of their making.

Maybe then they would have the time of their lives, right?

It couldn't be as hard, no?

"Hudhayfah is a good person. I am sure he will take care of you. He can protect you, and keep you safe from everything. He can even make a bargain for you and I truly hope he does make the bargain, because you deserve to be happy too.

"You shouldn't have to be forced to grow up fast and I hope Hudhayfah understands that before all goes to shit. I know he has been looking for you for the longest time, and he would be really glad to see you," Amina voiced.

They had already begun crawling on the dewy Sicario grass towards the northern borders, in the hope that they would be able to find a place that they could use to get out.

Of course, it was a dumb line of thought, seeing as the Sicario dome was the most impenetrable security system for this pack. But she had to hope, because, without hope, she had nothing.

Amina didn't know what she would do now that they had lost more than half their family in the hands of different facts. Hell, their siblings were taken out by the same group they had been unfortunately mated to.

Or were they fortunate to be mated to the cruel bunch?

"Mbali isn't bad either," Try said as if to tell his sister that there really was no getting out of this. They could pity each other but at the end of the day, they had to hold on and fight for whatever was left of them.

"Touche, little brother, touché. Let's get to the borders then."
