The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

Chapter 576 Go Ahead, Watch My Heartburn

[MBALI]

"You look well, Mi reina," Amina said, her voice hitting Mbali's ears like a breath of fresh air. It was so surreal even as Mbali stood rooted, trying to understand what the hell was going on. This wasn't even supposed to be possible yet here they were.

"You shouldn't be here," Mbali spoke, when her mind finally caught up with her mouth. She had a lot to say to Amina, a lot to introduce her to, and explore with her. She wanted to introduce Amina to the realm that had the weakest of all creations.@@@@

She wanted to let Amina know that there was more to life than war, that life on this other end was a little exciting, even though they were still on the hunt for their emotional well-being. It was almost like a gamble but one Mbali would never let go of.

"Trey, come help me in the kitchen and tell me all about Hudhayfah," Hawi's voice sliced through the tension, but it didn't do much because Trey Russel was more than eager to leave the room where her sister was with her mate.

It was suffocating to just stand there and watch them, not to mention the memories of what Amina had said about the mate bond and Mbali was something that Trey was not willing to bear witness to.

Trey knew his sister's heart would be broken again, and there wasn't a thing he could do about it. And it hurt, but at the same time, he knew that whatever decision the two women made, it would be the best for them regardless of what happened.

"Of course, shall we?" Trey said a little too excitedly as he looked at his sister who was staring at Mbali. He had heard the way his sister's heart had been leaping from the moment she walked in here and Trey could only hope that Mbali didn't hurt her.

"I'm coming along," Mbali said but Hawi cast a spell that took her and Amina into her room and locked them either with a boundary spell. Trey laughed lightly at the gesture even though he was a tad horrified about remaining with the wild woman.

However, he also appreciated the fact that Hawi wasn't freaked out by the bond his sister had with her friend. It was one of a kind and clearly, they were all hoping for a better outcome of the messy relationship that the two were having right now.

"Your room is pretty," Amina voiced, as she tried so hard not to focus on the displeased frown on Mbali's face. Her mate still didn't want her even after all these years and it was something that hurt Amina to the core.

She knew she had come for the impossible, but right now, it was more like a torture chamber for her than anything else. He was trapped with the one girl she was certain would hate her until the end of time.

"You little psycho! Open this door and pull down the damned boundary spell!" Mbali shouted at the top of her lungs despite the fact that Hawi could do what even if they talked slowly. But perhaps she wanted to emphasize her discomfort, yeah?

"Hermosa..." Amina tried as she stared at Mbali's angry face.

This wasn't easy, and Mbali dreaded what would come out of this, but more than anything, she dreaded the possibility of never seeing Amina again, after she agreed to let her in. That was a costly price that she couldn't afford right now.

It was easier to have Amina go on with her duties and not focus on the matters of their hearts because they had been delicate for so many years and hadn't even once found a solace regardless of how hard she had tried to look. Experience new stories on My Virtual Library Empire

"The werewolf queen?" Amina asked and that got Mbali to look in her direction.

Amina was standing by the wall of Mbali's empty room. She was leaning against the wall, like she was worried that if she made a step forward, she would be rejected for the hundredth time.

Rejection had easily become Amina's greatest fear and it was way worse than what she had been feeling over the years that she had missed Mbali. At that moment, she wanted to say so many things and express so much, but instead, nothing came out.

"Are you deaf or do you need glasses to hear?" Mbali questioned, even though her words held no weight. It is like she was just speaking to avoid the awkward silence that was threatening to fill up the space between them.

Maybe they were both doomed, but then fate had to speak something into their lives, right? Surely this wasn't how their story ended, no? But had it even begun when they were awkward as fuck with each other?

"I'm sorry," Amina whispered as she looked at her mate. She wanted to hold Mbali, to let the woman know that she was never going to be alone anymore. She wanted to stay close and let everything happen with ease, but she couldn't.

She was unable to and it was something that broke her heart tenfold. Even this close, with their scents mixing, there was still nothing for them to hold onto. It seemed like Mbali would forever hate her for being born a Russel.

"For the werewolf queen? You're crazy," Mbali huffed as she turned to stare at the dark wall before her. She always hated staying in this room when she wasn't getting ready to go to club Hernia and now she had to embrace the silence and awkward sht.

"No... I'm sorry for being a Russel. Maybe in another life, you would look at me as someone other than your enemy," Amina said with a defeated chuckle. Her life was already a mess and she wasn't sure how to deal with it.

"What?" Mbali asked.

"Trey is done eating with Hawi. I'll just take him and leave for Club Hernia or Sicario. Once again, I'm really sorry, mi reina. Forgive me for being unworthy," Amina said as she pulled the door handle and the door opened with ease.

"Until the next life, Princessa," Amina said with one last bow, before she left for Trey.
