The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[HAWI]

"She's your mate, Mbali," Ruru tried, unsure of what she was aiming for. Maybe her humanity… but was that something they would work around Jabali sister of all the creations in the realm?

"She's no mate of mine. I would rather marry Asmodeus than be her mate. I'd rather lose my life if I have to be mated to her," Mbali retorted spitefully as she stared at the mate who had presented herself.

Betrayal and brown Mbali's heart one too many times and while she hadn't expected that Amina would be doing that to her, a part of her had always hoped that Amina was her chance at happiness. Funny how that turned out for her.

"What do you think, Malika?" Hawi asked as she looked at her protector. She knew this wasn't the best of ways, but with Mbali healed and healthy, now they needed to make a choice on what to do with the Russel sister.

They weren't ready for this Russel and the fact that it had taken them this long to know that there was another Russel sister raised more questions. Over the years, everyone in the realm knew of the Seven; the shadow warlocks who were a menace.

Given the only sister known to the world was Razia, they automatically assumed that the rest of the siblings were brothers. But then here they were, with Amina, a female Russel, one who raised more questions than answers.

If she really was one of them, would the Savasci Knights step up and kill her too? Would it be easier for them, or would it be the worst blow for them and even for Mbali?

Mbali was angry now, but then maybe she would settle and accept the mate bond, but at what cost, when this family was determined to screw with them one too many times?

"I say we kill her. One less Russel bastard to deal with," Malika said even though she could feel the pain that Mbali was feeling. Her sister wanted her mate, though she was too scared of the repercussions of accepting her.

However, what else could they do at the moment? It was like their worlds were clashing so fast that they couldn't even breathe with ease. Then again, the decision with the Russels had always been clear.

No one would ever compromise when it came to this family so would they start or would they go with the original plan?

"Well then, her execution is set for dawn. We need to get some rest. We've had a long day. Ruru and I will set up camp," Hawi decided and they all just agreed. There was nothing more they could do.

Maybe if Mbali relay wanted Amina to stay, Hawi would have changed the verdict but then the Jabali sister was defiant and pissed. She looked like she wanted to fuck up Amina's face in ways worse than hell.

This right here was the worst thing that could happen to anyone in love and yet Jabali Lihle was once again finding herself in that kind of pickle.

Perhaps she was always meant to be a warrior without any attachments to people other than the people she was to protect, right?

With her decision, Hawi and Ruru began walking away from the team to go and set up camp. Malika on the other hand, stared at her sister who was glaring fiercely at Amina, who wasn't even bothered to object to the sentence she had been given.

Death by the hands of the white wolf was the cruelest thing that could ever happen to any warlock. However, over the years, many had talked of a worse death than dying in the hands of the white wolf, and that was death on the hands of Awuor Sicario.

Most of the people who had seen her drive the people she tortured to death had sworn to live good lives and never did things that could land them in the hands of the craziest wolf they had ever heard of.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She was the alpha of death among the people, even though no one had ever told her that to her face. And now here Amina was about to die in the hands of the white wolf, who also just happened to be the alpha of death.

Perhaps this was the game fate was playing with them again, right?

"Aren't you going to try and make a defense?" Malika asked curiously. She had never heard anyone not try to prove themselves innocent, other than Hawi who had accepted her fate years ago, but then she hadn't been sentenced to death, had she?

Well, it had been more of a fate worse than death, but then Amiana had a choice. She could choose to appeal and then decide later. She could give explanations and prove herself useful to them, but all this time she had been focused on Mbali.

Amina wanted to know so many things about the women she was mated to, and right now she was glad that they were leaving her with them. There still was time for her to be with her mate, if their decision to execute her was final.

Malika stared at Amina who just shrugged at her question and she thought this woman was a thousand levels unhinged. She had the worst of fates waiting for her and yet she didn't even bother to seek defense?

Well, Malika wasn't going to be staying any longer to see whether she would seek defense or not. Between her sister's fury with Amina, and the crazy couple that couldn't quite keep their hands off of each other, there was only one safe choice for Malika.

"Wait for me, you two. I'm coming along. I would rather be everywhere else than here with them," Malika said as she looked at her sister who was having a bored face directed at her mate. They looked like they wanted to kiss and murder each other at the same time.

At Malika's statement, Amiana let out a snicker, while Mbali just facepalmed at her sister's bluntness. Maybe she would have to figure out a way to keep Malika occupied because her sister could be a menace when she wasn't busy protecting someone.

"So, you'll just leave me here with her? What happened to restraining her before we kill her?" Mbali asked Hawi who just stared at her softly. She was aware that there was more to the heart than Mbali was willing to admit, and maybe this time she would let it out to the right person.

"She won't be going anywhere, don't worry. Besides, the stench of your desire for each other is suffocating," Hawi said with a laugh like this was the most normal thing for the both of them. But then what else was there?

Mbali and Amina needed each other, it was more than obvious, even to anyone who didn't have eyes. They lusted for each other yet somehow managed to keep their hands off each other.

That took a lot of restraint, but the trio wasn't going to stay and see what they would do.

"Come on, Alpha Awuor," Mbali whined and Hawi snickered knowingly. This wasn't about to get any better, so the easiest option was for them to make a run for it.

"She called me alpha… Run!" Hawi said to Ruru and Malika who ran along with her

"You people are traitors!!" Mbali cried out but they simply responded with peals of laughter.

"Get laid both of you!" Ruru added before they disappeared and Mbali choked on air.
