The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

Chapter 125: A Warrior's Not-So Baby Steps

[SICARIO]

"As my alpha was saying, alpha Rukiya. The Luna is here, they are all here. Now if you would be so kind as to shut up and let everything proceed as planned, we will not waste your time," Elodie suddenly said and everyone let out gasps.

Of course, Adolf was ready to snap necks, but Rukiya knew what this was and she loved it. She knew this was her chance to redeem Elodie and make sure that Jer reinstated and trusted her.

They needed Elodie on the inside if they were going to dismantle the leadership of Sicario.

Elodie being vocal at this point was to make sure that everyone heard her as one of the key warriors in Sicario. That would remind them that there was indeed someone who would be on the side of the luna, in case things went wrong.

They all knew how essential that was, especially for a Luna that came from a pack so weak, like Clarkson.

"You have been waiting with us, Warrior Kane. You have done a better job than your alpha has. I hope he sees that and gives you a potion. Perhaps the beta position now that his beta is dead," Rukiya said and Malika let out a gasp. What the fuck was this turning into?

Of the people she had expected to stand up for her, Elodie Kane hadn't been one of them. Sure, there was an understanding between them and with what had happened outside earlier, but in front of these people?

That was wild, even for Elodie. And for the first time, Malika was worried for the warrior. She knew how dangerous it was to challenge Rukiya Greyson on any level. Rukiya may have been nicer to Malika, but Malika knew so well that it was because of Hawi.

Without Hawi, Rukiya would have not even looked in their direction. Hell, she wouldn't even have brought an army and put them a little too close to the Sicario pack, just in case they needed reinforcements.

Going against Rukiya publicly like this, was something that would raise questions, and Malika knew that Rukiya's wolf would probably feel challenged. It wasn't the intended purpose, but they needed to fix things.

And perhaps that was also why Malika figured she would step up and change things. Because at least she could be able to fight Rukiya Greyson and win. Elodie wouldn't and that was a risk Malika wasn't willing to take, not with the woman she was slowly falling in love with.

"SILENCE!!!!" Malika bellowed right before Jer could say a word. He was definitely going to try and threaten the warrior or he would try to turn the situation in their favor but frankly, Malika was done with the circus that was staring at her.

She had gotten tired of the banters and was losing her mind sniffing Hawi on everyone. She hated what she was feeling and the fact that everyone here was thinking that this was some get-together was driving her nuts.

"Yeah, I'll be fine," Malika responded meekly as Elodie held her hand, before they all looked at Rukiya with knowing faces. The game was on, and hells be damned, they would do what they had come to do in Sicario. MVLeMpYr-unofficial-chapter

And so, for the next three hours, they spent talking about Dom and reminiscing the beautiful memories they had with the man. They didn't talk of him as Hawi's brother or even the alpha's son. But as the man who had helped Sicario be what it was today.

There was grief and sadness by the time the wake was over, but at least they had let the anger out of their chests.

"Thank you all for coming. You may leave and today will never be forgotten," Jer said though Rukiya could tell that that was a statement meant for her.

Then again, Rukiya Greyson was a woman with nothing to lose. She had a powerful army, and an army that made many cower.

Rukiya had the greatest of alliances with almost every pack in the realm and she wouldn't be affected in the slightest way if Sicario decided to withdraw.

She wasn't even worried about that. And the fact that she was allied to the white wolf and her killing machine of a crazy protector, summed it all up.

Greyson was untouchable regardless.

"Jer, I didn't mean to hurt her... If you give me the beta position, I can swear on my life to never leave her side and be Luna Malika's protector..." Elodie said to Jer.
