The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

Chapter 522 I Waited For You, For Years

[SICARIO]

"No... Impossible," Hudhayfah breathed as he faltered in his steps at the sight before him which seemed so unreal. There was just no way that HE was here and no way that HE chose to come for him.

So many years had passed, so much time had gone by, and yet he was still stuck in the same cycle with the love of his life, a man he had never seen face to face again. He had wanted to see him again, he wanted to breathe him;

Hudhayfah had dreamed of a day like this more than once. But when seeing him here, as he removed the hood over his head, Hudhayfah wasn't sure if this was just a dream. Surely it couldn't be, right?

"I've been called so many things, angels, but impossible has never been one of them. I bet I'll take that one for you, yeah?" Trey Russel said as he looked at the most beautiful man he had ever seen.

Hudhayfah was like his breath of fresh air, and seeing him stand there, being the one to check on them, was something that They had never anticipated. He however couldn't deny the way that his heart was beating so fast as he looked in the flight of the healer.

Oh, but Hudhayfah was perfection. He was what Trey had dreamt of for years and more. He was everything good in life and Trey instantly felt like he was the luckiest man for having such a mate.

Bit by bit, the world around them disappeared and suddenly it was just Hudhayfah and Trey, standing there, hearts in their hands as they tried to embrace the reality of things.

"You can't be real," Hudhayfah voiced and Trey smiled sadly but proudly. He had expected this when he had chosen to come back. It was a risk that he had willed himself to take because there wasn't much he could do without thinking of his mate.

Granted, Trey had come with Amina after so much persuasion, but he had come mainly for Hudhayfah. If they hadn't found Hudhayfah here, his sister would have truly decapitated him, given how hard they had struggled to get to Sicario.

"I wanted to stay for you, just like she wanted to stay for her princess, but life didn't exactly pan out the way he wanted love. For three hundred years, I walked these gates, hoping to catch a glimpse of you.

"I heard your voice, one too many times, and on most days, that was enough to keep me going. Knowing that you were alive was all I needed to keep going, but then learning what the amnesia queen was doing to you and your people, I knew I had to come. Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire

"I had to be there for you, even if I was in the dungeons of Sicario. Of course, I know you have the option of killing me, and I won't fight you, Perihan. I won't lift a finger. I will let you be my judge, jury, and executioner if you must.

"I swear on my life and everything I hold dear that I won't fight you. I just missed you, so so much, my Perihan. I felt like I could die without you. I'd honestly rather die by your hands, in your arms, than away from you and of loneliness," Trey admitted earnestly.

His words spoke to Hudhayfah in ways that Hudhayfah had never expected. For years, he had tried to suppress the urge to go after his mate. Hudhayfah had wanted to seek him out and ask so many questions.

On days that he was desperate enough, he was tempted to beg Trey to tell him where Hawi was, but he couldn't do that. He was a healer that had vied for years and years and he knew that patience was more important in any battle that he was headed into.

It wasn't much for him, but Hudhayfah had dared to hope in love. Now that the man he loved was standing before him, in all his tall, dark, and handsome glory, Hudhayfah felt fuzzy. He had never thought about this day like this and it was disturbing to him.

"I waited for you, for years... I hoped you would come for me, I prayed for days that I would see you and you left me, alone. You didn't come for me. Your brothers had learned about the bond that had forced you to keep your distance;

"—and yet when the Cezaevi was broken and the Sifir deactivated, you never came. You left... actually, you ran from me, and never once stopped to look back for me, didn't you? Hawi told me she had seen you and that she had set you free;

"But you never once one for me. You talk about waiting for me four twelve hundred years and yet I've been here all this time. You knew where to find me, you knew I was bound to Sicario because of my oath to Rukiya and Hawi.

"You knew I was here, but you never once rang the bell. You didn't come..."
