The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

Chapter 577 Added A Chorus To The Heartbreak Song

[MBALI]

Mbali stared at the empty space that Amina had left. It may have always been like that, but watching Amina leave had her feel some type of way. It was almost like her entire world was coming to a standstill.

It was a reality that she didn't even know how to explain just yet and it got her curious about what it would mean for her.

She had always loved being in this lonely room because it was the one place that should think of Amina freely; of course, without feeling guilty about the fact that she had just left home and never once tried to reach out to Amina... despite the fact that Amina had been hoping to interact with her again.

Perhaps it was because of the fear of attachment or maybe it was because Mbali wasn't just sure what the hell she needed to say to the woman. It was something that she had struggled with and not seen like she was sealing her fate.

"Well, that was quick... we just started focusing on the main dish," Mbali heard Hawi say, clearly to Amina who had left while talking about taking Trey with her. The idea wasn't as bad as Mbali had imagined, but now the fact that she was leaving again, got her having so many questions.

She had fought with all of her just to feel Amina's presence again just to breathe the woman in and now that she was here, Mbali was being defiant again. She was scared of so many things and the possibility that Amina would betray them again.

The horrors of the Russels were what Mbali had never thought to see past because it was the only thing that stood between her and her apparent spite for Amina Russel. It wouldn't have any meaning at the end of the day, right?

"We came to check on you, as the werewolf queen. Last night something had changed and it was different, so we had to come and see if there was anything that you needed help with and to reassure Hudhayfah that you were fine," Amina responded curtly.@@@@

Her tone was that of respect and admiration for the woman who had killed her entire family, a reality so fucked up that even the goddess hadn't dared to make sense of. But then this time, that wasn't what Amina was shaving at the back of her mind.

It was like they had finally seen the horrors that their family had forced the realm into and were hoping for better days. That was the only thing they could truly hope for because at this point in time, love and life were going relative to them.

The only leverage anyone would have had on her would have been Trey, and while that was possible with everyone else it wouldn't be for the leader of the Savasci knights who adored her knights so much.

Hurting Trey would mean hurting Hudhayfah, which is not something that Hawi would do to the good and kid healer who had given up everything for her.

Perhaps it could have made more sense to say that Amina wouldn't be endangered because of Mbali, but Mbali didn't want her around and she had to take her leave as soon as possible.

The longer she stayed around Mbali the more her heart called into her and the more it would hurt her. It was a sacrifice she had to make.

"Oh. That's interesting. Well. you have seen me doing fine, I assume that is the message you will send to the knights, no?" Hawi asked carefully. She could see the defeat of Amina's face and she knew that Mbali had to be the reason for that.

She could have tried to intervene, but then mate bonds were sacred and Hawi had no say in the mate bonds of her friends. She didn't want to be doing anything that could cause a rift.

If anything, she understood the loss and weight of the fury in several mate bonds, so she wouldn't be the one to fuck things up for the two, or even try to make it all better for them. It would be pointless either way.

"Yes. My brother will do that, as he has a beloved waiting back in Sicario for him. I promised he would go back to Hudhayfah, and we both know the healer will be waiting for him with bated breath," Amina responded softly.

She was happy for her brother and it is obvious in the way that she spoke of Hudhafah being back in Sicario waiting for her brother. That was the only thing that mattered to her right now and she was glad for it, truly and wholeheartedly.

"Won't you be coming with me, sister?" Trey asked hopefully.

"Of course... I'll just join you later."
