Chapter 99: To Love And To Protect, Always
[AWUOR]
"I don't understand why we have to be out here."
"You can go back home and explain to the alpha, if you wish."
"Yeah right, so she can sever my head, no thanks."
"Quit stalling. She's almost back at the pack, and we both know what she will do if we don't have answers by then."
"Where's Adolf?"
"Sicario."
"Damn."
Greyson had been attacked and answers were needed.
Someone had dared to come to Alpha Rukiya's lair and triggered the insecurity in her home and she would burn them all. She would find them, and make sure they never once thought of harming Greyson again.
It was a truth that the warriors who were discreetly scouring the Greyson woods had come to learn. Greyson had been attacked and someone had to pay the price for it.
Sure, Awuor had made sure that they never made it to the mainland, but to Rukiya, blood was shed on her lands. Someone that dared to taint the beauty that was the Greyson woods and someone had to pay that price.
She would find them even if it was the last thing she did.
"Alpha Awuor didn't leave a trace on the men who were here. Isn't it strange that she was the only one on this side of the woods and she was the only one who fought with them and murdered them all?
"Doesn't it seem a little too convenient for her stories and the alibis she would be giving alpha Rukiya?" one of the Greyson warriors said and the others seemed to think about it.
They knew her because she was banished, and she was the alpha of the alphas.
They knew her because she was the most dangerous woman in the entire realm and they knew her, because the walls that once whispered about Awuor Hawi had eventually broken down and shattered to pieces from the show of who she was.
The ultimate disaster and chief manipulator.
"Instead of worrying about whether Hawi is on our side or not, worry about how the hell a little woman like her, had managed to murder the lycans of Avalon in cold blood.
"The lycans of Avalon are supposed to be the most powerful creatures to ever exist and yet Hawi mutilated fourteen of them. If she wanted to burn Greyson to the ground, she wouldn't have to use Rukiya.
"She would have done it herself. But she is here with us, on our side. She is with us. The least we can do is to make sure that she stays on our side," Adolf said and they looked at him like he had gone bonkers.
Beta Adolf had always been one of the key anti-fans of Awuor Hawi, but as the days progressed, he himself realized that there was more to the woman who was crazy. There was more to the girl who didn't give two shits about life, any life whatsoever.
Awuor Hawi was the girl who could do as she wished and no one would ever question her. If Adolf was on her side, then either the beta had been broken or maybe, just maybe there was a trust to it all. But how would they ever be able to determine that?
"What did you find in Sicario?" the warriors asked the beta who looked like he wasn't even sure where he was. Chances were that Adolf had found his bearing because he knew the warriors, but if that was so, then what had happened to him out there?
What had made the beta who never came back home without completing his mission, come back home?
What had forced Adolf to make his way back when he could have as well fought and tried to make sense of the mission he had been sent to?
Oh, there were so many possibilities but not more than the woman who was watching them with a smirk plastered on her face. She was hidden in the woods, and not hidden at the same time.
Then again, it never really mattered because she was going to make sure that the doubts about Hawi were never a threat to Hawi's life. After all, she was Hawi's greatest ally.
