The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[SICARIO]

Sighing, Hudhayfah braced himself for condemnation. He knew they had all seen what he had done; they had seen him get ravaged and lost in a kiss. They had watched him make a fool of himself in the name of love.

They had seen him lower his guard just because the enemy had called him "Perihan". He was a goner for the man and he couldn't even deny it. Oh, he was screwed this time. There was never going to be a way out of this for him. T

"Yeah… Let's get this over and done with," Hudhayfah said as he walked into Sicario, while Trey walked closely behind him. He was too ashamed to even look up, but then he also knew he had to be careful.

"You worry too much," Trey said lightly and Hudhayfah scoffed.

"If you so much as try anything funny with my people and friends, I won't hesitate to kill you, Trey. Keep that in mind," Hudhayfah said to Russel who was just expecting that. It was like that was an issue because Trey Russel simply smiled.

"I like the sound of my name on your lips, Perihan. The goddess definitely made the right choice for me," Trey said and Hudhayfah could have sworn the man was nuts and had managed to slow his mind in the little span of time they had been together.

"I'm going to get banished because of you, and that's fine. I'm not suicidal, but if you try to fuck Sicario up, I swear on that mate bond you hold so dearly, that I will kill myself," Hudhayfah warned, and Trey stopped in his tracks.

He had been okay with Hudhayfah killing him really, because there wasn't a thing that he wouldn't do for the man.

Of course, Trey had known that he didn't need to do anything to fuck things up because he wanted to be in Hudhayfah's good graces, but damn him for suggesting that little threat.

Now it wasn't going to leave Trey's mind.

"You coming or what?" Hudhayfah asked and Trey just stared at him as the gates of Sicario closed. This was not what they had anticipated, the both of them, but what else were they going to try and work out when they were already here?

"Only if you swear to me that you won't hurt yourself. I can take anything, you want me to, Perihan. I can do whatever you need me to and be whatever and wherever you want me to, but only if you don't hurt yourself.

"Please…" Trey trailed off, and for a moment, Hudhayfah wanted to call the bluff. He wanted to say that this man was so good at manipulation that he didn't even care that he was trying to manipulate his mate.

However, looking into Trey's concerned and pleading eyes, Hudhayfah saw sincerity in them. It was like Trey was truly willing to be water as long as Hudhayfah was happy.

"You… You mean it," Hudhayfah sighed with relief, even though it was the kind that scared the living daylights out of him. He had never thought mate bond could be this scary and so demanding, but here he was.

Then again, for someone who had waited twelve hundred years for his mate, he sure wasn't acting like the world was at his feet this time. Perhaps it was what life was dishing out at them right?

"I don't want you to hurt yourself because of me, angel. I couldn't take it. I know that probably means little to you, but you are my world. I would do anything just to see you happy even if it's not with me.

"If you want me gone so you don't hurt yourself, just let me know, and I promise I will leave and never look back. I won't cause you or your friends any pain… but please, don't hurt yourself because of me," Trey pleaded and Hudhayfah stared in surprise.

He hadn't expected this, the Russels were well-known killing machines and they were without a doubt the realm's worst nightmare. Hell, the Savasci knights had seen that for themselves.

But none of them had anticipated the fact that the strongest warrior of them all and the smartest one would be here pleading with Hudhayfah of all the people. It was insane and it made Hudhayfah confused and excited for sperm reason.

If all he had had to do was threaten his own life to make the Russels surrounded then he could have done it earlier had he known this. It was a cruel way of thinking, but then war was war, right?

There was no right or wrong anymore, just wars that had to be fought and Hudhayfah could have straight-up manipulated that. Perhaps that was why Sebastian and Alex had kept their siblings with mates because love was the strongest weapon in war.

"I… I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I just… with the history your family has of manipulation, I just didn't want to be the reason my people got back to the warring periods, not when they are still mourning the absence of Hawi," Hudhayfah said earnestly.

He was probably divulging too much to the enemy, but if Trey Russel had been monitoring him for the past three hundred years, then he had to have known that Hawi and Mbali had left.

There was no point in hiding the truth from the man anyway. Besides, fate had wanted them here and there wasn't a thing they could do about it anymore.

"I understand, I truly do. Just don't threaten your life again, please. You're the most important person in my life, my beautiful angel. I wouldn't want anything happening to you.

"Come along, let's get this over and done with," Trey said as he walked towards the healer. This was a lot for the both of them to keep up with and they couldn't even be blamed for it or how shit had turned out.

On one hand, Trey had stayed in his chambers for years training and hoping desperately for the day there would be a sighting of his mate.

On the other hand, was Hudhayfah, the man who had been certain that fate would never work in his favor after he learned that he was mated to the enemy. This was a little complicated, but perhaps they would both find footing eventually.

"I didn't mean to upset you, truly," Hudhayfah apologized for the nth time as they headed over to the council room. He knew that shit wasn't going to be easy, but just this once., he wished that they would all be fine. Surly happiness didn't always have to be hard, did it?

"Don't apologize, angel. Nothing you do will ever be wrong in my eyes, my Perihan. Whatever it is that you do, I will support you fully," Trey said and Hudhayfah sighed in relief, which was weird, but he couldn't pay too much attention to it.

"Hudhayfah Karim."

"What?"

"My name."

"Such a perfect name for my Perihan. Thank you for allowing me to hear your name," Trey said with a smile before they walked into the council room, even though he had long known the healer's name.

However, even Trey couldn't deny that hearing the name directly from Hudhayfah sparked something in his heart.

Oh, he was whipped for the healer.
