Chapter 548: Light Me Up, Again
[SICARIO]
"I am sure of that, Hudhayfah. The queen may not have her memories right now, but if she saw Hawi and Mbali there if the rogues are really our friends, then it's just a matter of time before everything goes back to what it should have been in the first place.
"Trey won't be harmed, I can swear that. You will see him again, no matter how long it takes, and he won't be gone for too long. Maybe three months or four at most. But you will see him again, that is a promise," Malika said and Hudhayfah stared at her curiously.
Hell, the entire room was staring at her like she knew something they didn't know of. Elodie herself was wondering what Malika meant by that, which was strange because they were supposed to all be on the same page, right?
Malika's confidence was strange, and there were things that they wanted to ask her, however, right now they were still wrapping their heads around the fact that the Russels wet her and we were about to leave too. Read exclusive adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
"You people are depressing a lot," Adolf said and they turned to look at him incredulously.
It is like he wasn't even a part of the depressed group. But then just because everything was slowly going to shit, didn't mean that they couldn't embrace what was with them at the moment.
They deserved to be happy, even if there was a price that was hovering over their heads.
The uncertainty that surrounded the werewolf queen was something that they would think of later, because right now, as much as it was interesting to want to have the answers, maybe it was just right for them to change the subject, even for a moment, no?
"What? You guys didn't even see the pretty mark on Hudhayfah's neck. You are just focused on the damned queen who will just come and make sure all suffer. Oh, I never thought our healer here would be this hot with his mark," Adolf said and Zaniel glared at him.
He was possessive over the former beta, but that didn't mean that he wasn't aware of Hudhayfah not being a threat to their bond, if anything, Hudhayfah Karim was the absolute definition of loyalty. He had been there for them in all stages of their bond.
When they had been awkward around each other because of the way they had found out they had been mated. Hudhayfah had been the one to explain to them that the Russels hadn't truly completely fucked up the bond.
It was a long stretch for them and no matter how many things they had to deal with along the way, they had to embrace the fact that nothing would change what they shared. They were a unit of love and Hudhayfah Karim was part of that unit.
"You're mine," Zaniel growled and Adolf swatted his hand softly as if that was supposed to make him relax. Zaniel didn't mind, truly, but there was always room for light moments like these, right?
"Easy there you wild beast. I am yours, the entire world knows it and I am proud of it, but that doesn't mean we can't complement the one person who has been with us all this time. Weren't you taught how to be nice?" Adolf scolded as he looked at the entire team.
They knew what was going on and even though they wanted to say no to it, they could do what they wanted, and no one would be able to do shit about it. Adolf was a wild one who loved to party and this, for him, was just another excuse to throw extravagant parties in Sicario.
"This calls for a celebration!" Rio called it, making Adolf pinout just for a moment, before the room that had once been filled with concerned faces, turned into one that was chaotic as always.
They had always been suckers for happy moments and white Hudhayfah wanted to protest what was happening, he knew he didn't have the power to control them at this point, not that he wanted to anyway.
Sicario had been sad for the longest time, and they needed awesome good news. As if on cue, Elodie announced in the mind links of the new Sicario that there would be a free day because Hudhayfah was mated.
She had made it certain that the wolves could have the night of their lives without thinking too much about the repercussions. It was going to be chaotic, but then with the wards up, there was nothing that could harm Sicario at this time.
Not even with the queen out of Sicario anyway.
"Now that the announcement bit is done, let's get back to our special party," Elodie said and Hudhayfah groaned. He knew that this would be a really long night, but he appreciated the fact that his friend didn't seem to hate the idea of him having a mate.
He had expected a rebellion, truthfully because none of them had ever gotten over the fact that the young Greyson had died because of the Russels. It had been the hardest thing that they had ever had to deal with and it hadn't been fair on any scale.
Right now, the only thing Hudhayfah could do was hope that the mission tomorrow would be okay and that his mate wouldn't be long, because otherwise, his heart would be shattered into different pieces this time.
"I'll join later. I still have to talk to Trey and tell him of the decision we made here today," Hudhayfah said softly, his tone lowered like he was scared of what Trey would think. He had just gotten him back and now it looked like then would have to part again.
It wasn't going to be a walk in the park for Hudhayfah, now that they were omitted, but then what other choice did he have? He had to be the healer that Hawi had left home and he couldn't fuck shit up for Hawi because then a lot would go wrong.
Maybe this was a terrible idea but then what other choice did Hudhayfah have?
He trusted the man before he had even met him. He loved the man just from the first scent and now that they were together, he was horrified at the possibility that this was just another attempt at manipulation by the Russels.
It wasn't going to be easy and he should have known that already, but what other choice did he have this time? So much had gone wrong and right at the same time that it was almost hard to have hope in anything.
"You sound sad, Hudhayfah. Relax for once and let things be. You won't be hurt, that I can promise. Not that I know he won't hurt you, but because if he tries to hurt you, we will all protect you from him.
"Besides, he looked so much in love with you to even think of hurting you. I know we have the trauma of getting fucked up by our realities, but then let yourself be happy. You deserve that too, no matter how crazy it sounds.
"You earned a chance at happiness, so don't ruin it by thinking too much," Theo said, making Hudhayfah look at him in shock.
Theo had always been the quiet one, so it was almost hard to tell, but judging from the looks on the faces of the other Savasci knights it was obvious that this was what they all had in mind.
"Okay… I'll bring him over," Hudhayfah said with a smile before he left the council room.
