[HAWI]

That evening, while Sicario was busy taking in the new reality of their new alpha, Mbali and Elodie had sent fore messages to all the pack, acknowledging the reinstatement of Awuor Hawi Sicario as the alpha.

The letters were clear and they reminded everyone of what they owed the Sicario pack and of what they were told by Sicario. They also summoned the leaders of all the seventeen packs in the realm, along with the human leaders.

They were invitations that came once in a lifetime and anyone who ignored them would most definitely be ignored by the Sicario pack when their time of need came. It was a long afternoon, but it was one that the Savasci Knights enjoyed.

Malika, Hudhayfah, and Sherry were in charge of the cleanup and the smooth transition for Hawi to take over. They didn't even complain about the amount of work that they would have to do, instead, they did it seamlessly.

It was almost like they knew that Hawi would sit on the Sicario throne whether the sun rose in the south and set in the east. That was a given, and they clearly would have done whatever they needed to, to make it happen.

The only thing that excited them more at the moment was just how Rukiya Greyson had managed to find a way to get Hawi back home. That was pleasant and they couldn't deny it.

While everyone else was working, Hawi and Rukiya were cuddling on the couch in the former Alpha's office, where the entire team was.

The only difference was that instead of working, they were staring at each other, holding each other gently like they hadn't seen each other in a thousand light years. Anyone would think they were strangers who had just fallen in love.

Well, thankfully for them, their friends thought it was easier to have them focus on each other, because they were a disaster sometimes. And this time, the Savasci knights didn't want to risk the interruptions.

"Hey love birds, we are done. You guys wanna check to approve?" Elodie said to the cuddling up who hadn't even heard her, or maybe they had heard her but they weren't bothered by it, after all, they were having the time of their lives, right?

"I vote we pour cold water on them. We can't be breaking our backs while they get the afternoon off," Mbali whined as she glared daggers at the duo. You would think she was going to smack them herself.

"It was your idea to let them be and not give them work. Are you now complaining?" Sherry asked with a light laugh. She had grown used to the banters of these psychos so she wasn't even surprised anymore.

"I don't think they would be like that. They may not be fucking or sucking faces, but they could as well be doing that with how touchy they are at the moment. I will bring cold water," Mbali whined again and Malika let out a light laugh.

It had been a while since she had seen her sister pout like that and if they weren't so busy with their responsibilities, she could have taken the chance to hold onto that little memory of her happy sister.

Tomorrow had a lot of things for them to do and would need them to get back to their mission for revenge and retribution, but today Hawi would reign in happiness. This, this here was home.

And it was with this home that they would bring down Jeremiah and the shadow warlocks. They would find justice for the people they had lost, together, that was what family did, right?

"Who's famished? I'll cook," Hawi suddenly offered, forcing the entire group into silence like she had just suggested that they go to the moon and find the goddess and kill her. That was the kind of face everyone was giving her, including her mate.

The sheer horror was something she hadn't almost expected, but a girl could just hope, right? Besides, what was so wrong about having a family dinner, one in which she actively participated in, right?

"With or without magic?" Elodie asked everyone to burst out laughing, even though she was dead serious.

"The last time I cooked you loved it!" Hawi said as she looked at her best friend, like that was supposed to make Elodie side with her on this. Surely her sister couldn't be the one throwing her under the bus this time, right?

"Only because I swapped it with the meal Luna Eniola had cooked. Listen, Awuor. I love you. I love you so much, but the kitchen is where you don't really belong, sweet sister. Besides, we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow with the elders.

"Surely you wouldn't want us reeking of diarrhea when we get there right? Especially since we are the ones who demanded the meeting. Come on sweet sister, you and I know your skills in the kitchen are meant to torture prisoners,," Elodie said lovingly.

The Savasci Knights stared at Elodie, some with their hands muffling their laughs while others with pure shock and disbelief, even though there was an element on their faces as they watched Elodie Kane slaughter her sister's cooking skills.

"But you said—"

"Trust me, I learned that day the hard way, why you never taste your food. Let's leave the kitchen to the pros, sister. We have Sherry to do that for us. Even with magic, you might just poison us all," Elodie said and the knights gasped while Hawi pouted.

"I think what Elodie means, baby, is that while you are good in the kitchen, you are still a student who needs more practice, my love. We can practice with the prisoners we will capture alright?

"But until then, let the adults take care of you, baby," Rukiya explained and Hudhayfah snorted, earning muffled laughs again, while Hawi just pouted at them.

They would have a long and interesting evening.
