The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

Chapter 179: No More Worrying?

[HAWI]

"I understand, Malika. What did you find out about Russel?" Hawi asked as she tried to calm her protector down. She was all for going on a murder spree with Malika, but today, she wanted to see Rukiya happy, no matter what it took.

"I know her scent from Greyson. She is someone from Greyson. She tried to mask her face but I got a glimpse of something on her neck. She had a scorpion tattoo on her neck, and it seemed to be covering a long scar.

"I'm assuming she used the tattoo to hide the scar. If I find her, I will kill her with my bare hands," Malika said, the promise in her voice so clear that she wanted to be out there already committing the murders.

Maybe she was insane for this, but what else was there for her to do other than protect her Mistress? Malika was a loyal one and an angry protector at the moment.

"The only one I know with a scorpion tattoo in Greyson is Luna Razia. She doesn't look the least bit like a warlock, much less want her daughter dead. That is absurd," Hawi reasoned and Malika looked at her with a disappointed face.

Of course, Malika knew Luna Razia too, but not from Hawi's perspective. She knew her form long before she was introduced directly to the woman. However, she didn't want to imagine that Luna would hurt her child.

Right now, Malika was fueled by anger, and anything she said could erupt into a series of unwanted situations frankly. That would be the most dangerous of things that she would have done ever.

She had to be sure before she pointed hands, and made sensible choices.

"Well then, I shall be on the lookout for the Russel woman in Sicario. But I must tell you, Mistress, I don't care who Russel will be, I will kill her for being a menace," Malika said earnestly and Hawi nodded in understanding.

She knew what Malika meant and honestly, she wanted to do it, but she couldn't because she had to let them help her.

Malika looked like she wanted to go to Greyson and get the answers herself. She always despised traits so finding out that someone was after Hawi and that they were from Greyson of all the places was unsettling and made her mad.

She couldn't believe how easy it was for people to shift sides as if they hadn't probably shared the same table with Rukiya. It led Malika to ask endless questions whose answers she was certain she wouldn't find any time soon, though she needed them.

"You were talking to Malika, weren't you?" Rukiya asked when Hawi reached her. The white wolf considered lying to her mate, but she figured that sooner or later, they would have to have this conversation.

Besides, they were at war, and keeping secrets would be a dangerous gamble for the both of them. It was easier for them to make sure that they got to live their best while trusting each other and not hiding.

"Yes. She came to give me a status update on Sicario. Seems like Mbali's letter already reached Jer and they are doing the necessary," Hawi said as she cupped Ruru's cheek.

Hawi could see herself in Rukiya Greyson's beautiful eyes and unlike the other days when she wondered what Rukiya thought of her, today, he was happy that he was where with her.

She was glad that she had someone to be beside her no matter what happened.

What had happened in Sicario would take a toll on them and with Jer being a manipulative idiot, Hawi was ready for when the Alpha tried to strike a low blow again, like earlier before. Perhaps she was a little too ready this time.

"Okay. come along then, let's go hunting," Rukiya said and Hawi stared at her shocked.

Usually Rukiya would ask about it, but today she was awfully quiet about it and for a moment, Hawi thought she had done something wrong. But what had she done this time?

"Did I do something?" Hawi asked and Ruru smiled at her.

"Not really. I trust you. Besides if it had anything to do with me, you would let me see Malika, but you didn't. I trust you, Hawi. That is enough for me to go on with," Rukiya said earnestly as she kissed Hawi's forehead.

The whole of that day, Hawi and Rukiya spent hunting in the woods. They came across different animals, but at the end of the day, they chose to carry to the camp three deer and a little bunny that Rukiya had begged Hawi to let her take care of.

Of course, at the end of the day, whatever her Ruru wanted, her Ruru got, so Hawi didn't object.

"I think my mom will come to the camp."
