The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[RUKIYA]

Night had birthed day and even then Mbali and Rukiya didn't see any sign of Hawi and Malika. They had gone inside the temple, but stepped out when the sun rose because it was dark and there was nothing they could do.

Even when morning came and they went to sniff around, they couldn't get any hints of the two women. It wasn't what any of them had anticipated and it was safe to say they had gotten to the point where they were panicking.

Rukiya had been trying her best the entire night not to go back home, but then right now with no sign of Hawi or even Malika, the only thing she could think of was that they had left.

But how was that even possible when there wasn't any other portal that had been created outside of the sacred island?

They had gone down the thousands of stairs and come right back up and they didn't see shit; it was like the two women had decided to go to some damned vacation and forgot about the part where they had people relying on them.

It was crazy to some extent, but was that that they had always interacted with?

"Do you think they…" Rukiya asked softly as she looked at the Sifir in her hands. She had been holding onto it for the entire time, like it would suddenly tell her of where her mate was, but frankly, there had been nothing.

She was out of options and the possibility that her mate and the protector had been forced into the Sifir were growing higher and higher. It wasn't even helping their case anymore. What the fuck was even happening to them at the moment anyway?

"Don't finish that sentence, Rukiya. Don't. We have seen that duo do worse things than disappearing. They have to be around here somewhere. Besides, we still haven't explored all the options we have left," Mbali said.

Rukiya stared at her like she had grown another head. They had been at this for the entire evening and night, now it was morning and their search had yielded nothing. It was like they had been hoping and hoping for shit that would never be a reality.

That was the worst of things that they could encounter and yet somehow, in the middle of that mess, Jabali Lihle was already hopeful, again. Find more to read at empire

"What other option is there, Mbali? I didn't take you to be the sentimental one, but hey, looks like you have a range of options on you, don't you?" Rukiya said and Mbali just took out her blade and stared at the white wolf's mate.

Rukiya could already see where this was headed, but she didn't like it one bit. This was insanity and they could all lose their sanity because of this.

If Mbali was trying to do what she thought Mbali was doing, then they wouldn't even have to worry about the Russels and their warriors anymore.

They would have to deal with a very pissed of protector and she didn't want the goddess to kill Mbali because she was a good person. This right here was the worst of all temptations.

"No, Mbali. Don't even think of what you're trying to do. Getting your sister riled up will only fuck up the realm and leave everyone with a thousand and one regrets after the obvious massacre that will have taken place.

"Look for another option before we go through the rabbit hole. You said it yourself there are so many options and this… FUUCCKKKK!!!!!" Rukiya rambled only to let out the loudest curse that reverberated across the island like a beat that had been lost in the season.

"This was your fucking plan??? Holy shit woman, you are scary as fuck, what the hell? My goodness that fucking hurts so much., and where the fuck did you even get that stupid blade form?

"My lord… this works fast," Rukiya said, her voice going form cursing out Mbali to focusing on her pain to wondering what the fuck the woman had just done to her.

Well, the last one was easy to answer because Mbali's blade was lodged in her thigh, and it wasn't healing, which also meant that Rukiya Greyson was experiencing the worst of pains at the moment.

If Mbali wasn't careful, she would be dead and then the realm would definitely spiral into the chaos they had both been hoping to keep in check.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know what else to do. Besides, my sister believes I'm dead and she is grieving, which means that she will not be too focused on me no matter what I do.

"She will think that it's all her imagination and guilt," Mbali said apologetically as she bent down to blow some air on the wound she had forced on Rukiya. The woman in pain, was however staring at her friend like this was the worst of all ideas.

Frankly, it was worse than the Russels and if Mbali was someone else, this could have easily been her ticket to the afterlife if a different hell, deepening on whatever the fuck Hawi would decide to do to her.

"Well, a heads-up would have been nice. This shit hurts as fuck. What the hell did you lace your blade with?" Rukiya asked as she watched Mbali's eyes widen as if she had just realized that they hadn't truly thought this through.

"Ruru—"

"Don't you dare say poison," Ruru growled as she clutched her thigh, as if that was supposed to make her feel any better. The pain was still excruciating and she figured this was going to be her last breath.

Well, it would have if she wasn't mated to the white wolf.

There were a lot of things that were happening around them and there were so many improvisations that caught their attention and yet each time they managed to make a mess of their lives and everything around them.

"Well… it's not poison, but it's not healthy either. Especially at war," Mbali said as she took a few steps back to make sure that Rukiya didn't try to wring her neck.

She would let her, but then that would just waste their time and it wouldn't help their chances of finding Hawi or Malika. They had to make a lot of decisions out of the battlefield and it was all so fucked up at the end of the day.

"Keep talking," Rukiya said as she gritted her teeth.

She had never felt a pain this unbearable in a really long time and she hoped that it would be over soon enough, because she was getting to the point where she wouldn't be able to take it anymore without passing out.

"It will give you lots of hallucinations and make you think that… I'm sorry, Ruru," Mbali apologized earnestly.

"… it's to make me relive my worst pains… just great," Rukiya sighed as she looked at the apologetic warrior beside her.

"Will it at least get Hawi to know where we are?"

"Yes. it will bring her to you, whether she's chained in the Cezaevi or anywhere."

"I see. I hope it works for your sake, or I'm going to tell your little Amina that you spent an entire month crying over her," Rukiya threatened.

"You wouldn't."

"You fucking stabbed me without casting a counterspell on the blade… I definitely would."

"Fuck me."

"Respectfully, no," Rukiya said before she was thrust into her worst nightmares.

The saddest part of all this, was that even her worst fears and pains were linked to Hawi.
