The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

Chapter 562 Lovers Are The Ghost of It

[HAWI]

"Are you fucking serious right now? What the fuck do you want?" Hawi asked angrily. Her eyes were focused on the frame with the little girl. Maybe the girl was her daughter and there was a chance that the girl wasn't even hers to begin with.

However, she could see herself in the little girl; a child protected so much, and yet left alone to be hunted. It was almost like the step out by the queen had been strategic, seeing how Kadiam and Dumi had insisted she be the one to deal with the rogues.

This here was a coup and Hawi was not ready for it or even what it came with, and Islinda was clearly baking on all of that. Oh, but Hawi could feel her rage rising so fast that if she wasn't careful, she would let out a fire breath here. That was insane.

"Have a seat, Hawi," Islinda said and Hawi stared at her like she was losing her mind. Three ways, just no way that this woman's in charge of an entire realm. She had a few too many nuts loose in her head. That was the only possible expansion for Hawi right now.

"What?" she asked even though she was sure it wouldn't mean shit. The moon goddess was proving that a lot of things that Hawi cared about, didn't exactly mean shit to her, and using a child as bait was the lowest of all the willows.

"The clock is ticking. You can only save one of them. You can save your precious mate from having her conscience haunt her for the rest of her life or you can save the little girl your mate cares too much about.

"You decide, and maybe if you decide well, I might give you a reprieve," Islinda stated casually making Hawi glare at her for the hundredth time as if that was supposed to remind Island of who she was to the realm. Were all goddesses like this one?

This woman was insane. It was the only possible explanation for the madness that Hawi was witnessing and listening to. No one in their right mind would be this willing to fuck shit up for people that she cared about. What in the world was even going on with the woman?

"Why the fuck should I care? Clearly, you have been manipulating both sides to have leverage on me. If you want you can take them out. What do I care about? My mate died three centuries ago;

"Fine, wait. Don't hurt the kid. I'll do whatever you want, just not the kid, please," Hawi pleaded disparities and the goddess just smirked at her. Hawi knew that there could be worse tribulations for her than the kid, but she couldn't take back her words.

It wasn't because of the thought that the kid was hers and Rukiya's or even that Ruru would hate her for not saving their possible child. But it was because Hawi didn't want to see the kid suffer. It was the one thing that had been her greatest weakness for the longest time.

Perhaps her offer was one that could make the moon goddess change her mind because at the end of the day, there wasn't ever going to be a thug that she could be saved from. It was true that she was slowly learning herself.

"Are you sure? Or is this a momentary thing?" Islinda dared to ask and it took everything in Hawi not to bathe the woman's face against the tube that she had conjured. Patience was owing to be Hawi's greatest test right now and boy did she hate it.

"Fucking hell woman, which part of what I said doesn't make sense to you?" Hawi asked defeatedly. She hated what she was feeling and she hated that they were all answering to this crazy woman.

There were different ways of dealing with people and Hawi had thought of so many of them that would help her deal with Islinda. Maybe all she had to do was hope and trust in time, seeing as the woman they all trusted couldn't give a shit how they all ended up, yeah?

"You always change your mind. Besides just yesterday you wanted to kill my humans, why should I trust that you won't kill them when you leave here," Islinda retorted as if that was supposed to make Hawi smile and wave at her like an idiot.

It was disheartening on so many levels, but Hawi was done playing the long game with this woman. If she wanted war, then Hawi would give her war. If she wanted to see what it was like being on the other side of Hawi's weapon, then she would show this crazy woman just that.

"I'll ask you one last time, Islinda..."
