The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

Your next chapter awaits on empire

[JER]

"Where did she go?" Trey amusedly asked even though his mind was still filled with the possible wonders of the little kid before him. It was like Kurt was a whole new species for them and he needed to know more about the creature that he had there.

"To get us the best tool to win this war with the crazy women… Her mate," Alex responded excitedly. They had been planning the attacks on the Savasci Knights for months and had failed in every execution of theirs.

The realm was filled with warriors who were impervious to magic, warriors who protected all the packs, and the humans too. Every little thing that the Russel siblings had tried had failed and that shit them harder instead of their enemies.

At the moment, they were living like intruders in a realm they had been born into. This was an open-air prison for them and they had to exploit all the options they had at hand. That was the only way for them to win the war either way.

"Amina has a mate? Will she be like Razia?" Trey frowned at the thought like this was the worst idea they could come up with, the last time they had used someone's mate, they had ended up with two siblings dead.

Razia herself had lost everything down to her very own daughter who should have been her lifeline. Their sister had lived an unhappy life filled with pain and anger that would never go away, ever.

Maybe Razia had found peace in the afterlife, but then there were so many things that had gone wrong in her life that limbo would have been a better choice for Razia Greyson.

"No, Trey. She won't be like Razia. Unlike Razia who's in love with her mate, Amina isn't. She is going to use that woman to bring us closer to the knights and then we can kill them all and reclaim our power in the realm.

"Or don't you want to find out more about Kurt when everything is settled?" Seb said even though he had a feeling he was lying to his brothers.

He wasn't sure how things would really go with Amina, and he wasn't sure if Amina wasn't in love with Jabali Lihle or if she was just playing a game that they had all mastered so well over the years.

Then again, Amina was never one for emotions with them. They knew Amina to be more rational than Razia ever was. Amina never thought with her heart, at least that's what they knew, but would it really work?

Would it really favor them all when their sister was already on the other side of the realm offering the one thing that could take out their entire family in the name of love? Or was it all just an act?

"Well, that's comforting. I would hate for our family to be split again," Trey responded and Seb felt his heart sink into his stomach, for years they had tried to protect tree from the horror of what they did out there.

Sure, they were all thousands of years old and were stronger and more powerful than most of the warlocks out there and even the worst of the creatures, but they had been determined to protect their brother's innocence.

They never let Trey accompany them to battle.

All their brother ever did was train and train and train like the world was ending. Granted, Trey only ever trained because it was the best way to keep in touch with his magic and abilities, but then he was not to step into battle.

His brothers and sisters had made sure that the battle never reached Trey, their little brother never had to see what it was like out there for them. They hated the idea that Trey would be seeing blood.

Perhaps they were a little overprotective of a man who trained rigorously as each day passed, but then that didn't matter. Because to them, Trey was still a baby. He was their baby and they would protect him for as long as it would take them.

"We won't be apart. Amina will meet with her mate and use her to kill the knights and then we will go help her out. It will all be over soon," Seb reassured as he walked over to where Trey was and kissed his brother on the forehead like that was supposed to make him feel relaxed even though they were at war.

"Alright then. I'll go and keep training."

"You do that. Alex and I will take care of things here," Seb reassured and Trey just nodded before he left, and this time he went with Kurt. Perhaps he was starting to like his new brother just a little. Maybe it would be easier for them if Trey trained Kurt too, right?

Well, that was something they had to think of at a later time, because right now, they had better things to worry about; Like the rogue kid that was staring at them with pitiful eyes as if he needed their help with all of this.

"You're staring, Jeremiah," Alex pointed out, and Jer sighed defeatedly.

He had been thinking of all the ways to get rid of Hawi, but then with every Russel sibling that was murdered by the Savasci knights, Jer's hopes of ever being able to kill Hawi faded.

He knew that the Russels were strong and insane and excellent at black magic and yet with all that they still were reversed. And for the first time since the ah degreed ever so willingly to take on the challenge of killing Awuor Hawi, Jeremiah Warner had regrets.

He hated that he had agreed to this. Atticus had told him to use his link to Awuor Hawi to make the woman lose her mind, but over the months, Jer had realized that the moment he had died, any links he had to Awuor Hawi had been erased.

That meant that he was just another warlock hybrid out there who wanted to enjoy their life but had more responsibilities like killing the woman who would soon be their werewolf queen.

Everything had gone sideways and if there was a way out of there, Jer would have long gone for it. There were days when Jer drank poison to take his life, a pathetic move that pissed him off but then, each time it never affected him, not even once.

It was like he had just been drinking water or anything.

Other days he bled himself unconscious, till he was certain he would die from blood loss, but then he always woke up better, if anything, the blood would still be on the ground, but he was as healthy as ever.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Sure, he would then shamefully clean up the mess he created. Jer had tried everything that would help him escape this misery but each time he failed hopelessly.

His mission was haunting him and seeing the Russel brothers talk of a way out almost gave him a joke, until the possibility that Amina was also dead, kicked into his mind, and then all his hope disappeared, once again.

Oh, he was doomed for life with the agreement he had made for Malika, a woman he had finally understood never really existed.

Jer was going crazy and he was certain of it.

"What if Amina is already dead? What then?"
