The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

Chapter 583 Trust Makes You Do Strange Things

[HAWI]

"I understand you, Mbali... But I don't want to burden our friends with the responsibilities that are mine just because I'm never going to be able to get over my grief. The realm still knows there is a white wolf somewhere.

"I haven't died, Mbali. I haven't had a formal exit and there are the Salvadors. I learned that they are tormenting the people across the realm as they try to make their way to Sicario.

"We fought to work hard for home to let a bunch of unruly wolves bring that. We can't go back to war, Mbali, and you know that too. I just want to be back there, and live the rest of my days honoring the love of my life—

"... while I wait for the goddess to take me to her in the afterlife," Hawi responded and Mbali sighed.

On one hand, it did seem like Hawi was ready to go home but on the other hand, it was like there was something that the white wolf was hiding from her, and for some reason she couldn't quite understand why.

Everything had been going well for them for the past three centuries, even if they had been heartbroken, and for now, Mbali was tempted to think that Hawi was acting like this because of Amina.

Maybe that would be a sensible argument, but then she also knew who Hawi was and what she did. Hawi never had the time for mistakes or random decisions that didn't have a basis.

"Okay," Mbali agreed.

She could tell that joke had been in Hawi's mind for a while now and she wanted to see where this would go. She could only hope that Hawi would be fun when they made it back home.

There wouldn't be an easy day for her, given the way they had left, but time was meant to fix wounds, right? Perhaps this was Hawi's chance at a new start, but damn.

"Okay?" Hawi asked as she looked at Mbali who just nodded in silence.

Mbali was shocked at the thought and even though she had agreed, she still couldn't help but be suspicious. The Hawi she knew wouldn't have wanted to head back home unless she had a compelling raisin to. Honestly, Mbali didn't see anything compelling enough to drive Hawi to such a decision.

"You know once we go home, they won't let us leave again, right?" Mbali added after a while. She was currently seated next to Hawi, thinking of what it was that was waiting back home for them.

It had been years since they openly talked about Sicario and what it meant to go back. They had avoided the subject like a sore wound and they had once considered it. This was also why Mbali was interested in talking about home.

There was so much that was waiting for them home, and the fact that they were part of the royals of Sicario was just one of them.

Maybe it was because of the idea that they would see the people they had saved in the great war that night, or they are going to face the Greysons and apologize for not being able to save Rukiya Greyson.

It was a little hard to know what the fuck would be waiting for them, but they couldn't deny that the thought of home was a beautiful one nonetheless.

"You didn't call me Russel," Amina said carefully. She had always been referred to as Russel by Hawi, and most of the time, if not all, Hawi had sounded cruel to her to the point that Amina knew that she would never look at her with warm eyes.

Maybe it was because of the history that they shared or the loss that had gotten Hawi running farther from home, in an attempt to leave everything behind her.

"So?" Hawi asked clearly not understanding what this was about.

"Go pack up, Hawi. Well do the same," Mbali said suddenly, and that was also how Hawi realized what Amina had meant. It was a simple gesture so simple, but then again, Hawi already knew that mine wouldn't hurt her back.

Amina wouldn't cause her warrior to spin so they did need to go over the threats again. She had seen firsthand just how Amina was selfless when it came to Mbali. It was the kind of love that people went to war for and Hawi wasn't about to be the reason they were never happy.

All she wanted was for everyone in her friend group to be happy even if it meant being happy with the most unsuspecting of bonds. Fate always had a reason for everything and Hawi wasn't going to question that.

Besides, she knew that she would tear through Amina like a meat grinder if the Russell warlock so much as tried to hurt anyone she loved. The same applied to Trey too.

"I have nothing that I want to carry home... I'll be waiting for you here," How said and Mbali stared at her softly. She could see that there was pain in Hawi's eyes and she wished that she would have been able to make it all better.

She had always wanted to protect Hawi from whatever it took even if they had become a family. They had braved so many things and there was no denying that life itself was meant for so much at the moment.

"Alright then," Mbali said as she left, even though she understood what Hawi had meant. The port thing always carried shit wherever they went and she always brought them home for Rukiya.

Her mate always got her best souvenirs from the battlefield, market walks, and anything that Hawi did. She always had Ruru in mind and right now, there was no Rukiya for Hawi to run home to.

It was a truth that broke Mbali's heart and she felt like she was not as useful to her friend.

She had only ever wanted the best for Hawi., they all did as the Savasci knights, but then even with all their powers, they had been unable to save Ruru and keep her safe. That was the one thing that would forever eat at Mbali and the knights.

"Great, let's do this," Hawi said, one hour later when Mbali And Many had come back. Mbali was carrying a back that she had gotten over the years and it was filled with souvenirs for their friends.

"No. you're not doing that," Mbali said, and Amina stared at her mate in confusion.

"What?" Hawi asked as she created a portal.

"Amina will create the portal home," Mbali said with a tone of finality.
