The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

Chapter 523 I'm Sorry, I Was Late

[SICARIO]

"...Fr three hundred years after the great war was won, you stayed away, and now you show up and expect me to run into your arms? I waited for you for so long as you weren't even bothered by my absence.

"And now when everything is okay, when I finally learn to move on, and when I finally accept that no one would ever want me like I wanted you, you show up. You show up like this is some game for you.

"You're enjoying this, aren't you?" Hudhayfah asked angrily. He had been nursing a broken heart for over a thousand years and now this man was showing up for him right now when they had other things to work on.

This was the cruelest thing he had ever experienced and there was no denying that fate was truly a son of a bitch for this. What the fuck was Hudhayfah even supposed to make of this right now?

"I'm sorry, baby. I'm sorry I'm late. I won't leave, never again, I swear it," Trey said as he stepped forward, closing the distance between him and the healer. Here and now, they were not a Russel and a pack healer, no.

Here, they were just Hudhayfah and Trey, two souls that had yearned for a mother for the longest time. Two men who had wished for their reunion one too many times, two people who had felt an attraction so deep that they hadn't been able to fight it.

Hell, even the universe hadn't been able to pull them apart.

It was what life had granted the both of them and boy was it crazy.

"No... I won't accept this," Hudhayfah mumbled as he took a step back, ever so slowly.

It was a tiny step, almost like he wasn't sure if he truly wanted to run away from Trey, or if he wanted to stay and be here in the arms of the man he had desired for the longest time.

A thousand years was a lot of time and there was nothing that would ever heal the ache that they both had had in that time, save for themselves. Only they would be able to get out of this.@@@@

"I know, baby. I know. That's why I won't push, angel. I won't try to force you to accept me, I won't try to make you change your mind about all of this, sweetheart. Your anger is justified. Your rage is justified. Your disappointment is justified.

"I just hope you don't try to make me unlove you because that will never happen, angel. I won't ever leave your side, no matter what happens. Even if you push me away, I will work on earning your trust. I waited for so long, and I was selfish to make you wait.

"I looked for you and I should have looked harder. Hate me, if you want, angel. Beat me up, if you need to. Make me suffer if that is all it takes, but please, don't... don't push me away, please?" Trey said, his voice coming off in soft whimpers, as he looked at the beautiful man before him.

He loved Hudhayfah so much it hurt to breathe. He had tried his very best not to come to Sicario, but there was only so much that his heart could take on.

He could feel the rapid breathing from the healer and he loved it. Hudhayfah may have hated him, but this was something that only the both of them knew of. A reality that would always exist between them no matter how hard everything got.

"Ngh..." Hudhayfah breathed when Trey pecked his lower lip. He felt hot, like his body was on fire. They both knew what that meant for the both of them, but damn was this a thing that Hudhayfah Karim had mustered for years on end.

He had lived in the shadows because he had no one who could stay for him other than his fellow warriors. His friend had always gotten love and he had nothing, but now, the man he had dreamed of was here and he didn't know what to do about it, truly.

"I'm going to kiss you now, angel," Trey whispered against Hudhayfah's ears, making the healer go red. He had never been kissed before. He had never been touched by anyone before.

This was the first time anyone had ever managed to get this close to him and it scared the hell out of him, most of the people who always found their way to him were never love interests or anything, and Hudhayfah had never paid attention to them because none of them had been his mates.

"I— What?... I mean you... can't? No?" Hudhayfah trailed off, his confusion amusing Trey even more. The healer, the man who could kill and heal at the same time, the man who had been known for his lethal antics, had never been touched like Trey was.

It was supposed to be strange, to be interesting enough to warrant his friend making fun of him later, but then here with Trey, Hudhayfah felt safe.

He had always been able to take care of himself, given he was a Savasci knight, but right now, it was like the world had finally stopped spinning to accommodate the both of them.

"Oh, my goodness," Trey breathed as he looked at Hudhayfah right into his eyes.

"I hate you," Hudhayfah mumbled but Trey was probably already used to it by now.

"You've never been kissed before, have you? You've never been with another? You're so pure, my bright moon," Trey said in realization and Hudhayfah tried to push Trey away, not sure he wanted everyone to know about his innocence.

"I have kissed a lot of people," Hudhayfah defended sheepishly.

"For someone who has been to thousands of wars and survived, you're so innocent."

"Yeah, well excuse me for waiting for my mate," the healer grumbled.

"I'm here now, my angel, I'm here now," Trey said before hungrily smashing his lips against Hudhayfah.

The healer didn't fight him.
