The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[HAWI]

"... What you believed in was worth giving up our lives for and that was what we did. Fate always has different uses for us, and that is what happened that night. All I can say is thank you for letting us all fight in your war, it was an honor," Rio stated with pride.

He had no regrets about the war. Sure, he had lost his friend there but that was something they had to face. They had agreed to the chaos and they had reaped the consequences of it all.

It was not like their friends were forgotten. If anything, in the three months that Hawi had spent mourning her Rukiya's death in silence, Hawi had built a memorial park for the people who had been lost in the war.

She had done it to make sure that the fallen are never forgotten. For someone who had been in her worst state, she had stood up for them and they had nothing but thanks for her.

She had loved them truly and they did over her and her determination. She made them heroes in a world where he needed more, and they had stepped up in every way along with the warrior of Sicario.

"I… I don't know what to say. I spent years mourning our fallen and preparing myself to let those filled with vengeance come at me. I thought it was the only way for them to ease their pain for their fallen friends, and now… I just didn't think you guys would forgive me for this.

"I checked the links and tried to feel every emotion and yet all I get is love and love. It is too much and scary, and yet for some reason, hearing this from you makes me want to believe that the love felt real," Hawi admitted and the knights smiled at her.

They knew how hard this had to have been for her and they appreciated all her efforts of trying to make it all better. It wasn't going to be easy and they had long known that, but at least this time, they were together too, right?

"Like I said, you gave us more than anyone would have in a time of war. Alphas are known to call for assessments and give speeches after wars and that's all they can do. But you did more than that.

"You took care of us, and our wounds. You exhaled us even though you were writing to. It takes a really brave person to do that and we are well aware of that too. That's why we strive to live better lives. I honestly have nothing to complain about.

Sure, I will miss my friends but I also got new friends, and a mate who cares about me more than I ever thought possible. This is the kind of love I never would have felt if you built us our ship and we went back to the waters.

"So many good things came out of the war and we have you to thank for that," Rio said and Hawi visibly relaxed. She was not sure what was happening, but she could only hope that whoever was in pain, would be able to heal.

She had suffered for years on end because of her Rukiya and she understood well what grief could mean for a person. She wouldn't fight, and she's going to keep her word.

Of course, not everyone could be as forgiving as Rio and Hawi braced herself for that too even as she smiled at them.

"The—" Hawi began and Adolf interrupted her.

"I am the gladdest that you are back," Adolf said and the knights let out knowing groans, almost like they had been expecting this from the moment that Hawi stepped foot into Sicario.

From their groans, it was not something that was dangerous or stressworthy, but clearly, Adolf was stressed enough times for them to react like this. Deep down, they all were glad that Adolf had interrupted Hawi.

They knew she was always going to be thankful for them and all that they did, but they did to her to be sending her life wallowing in ingratitude for what they had done because of her.

They wanted her to live her life which wouldn't be easy if she kept on thinking that all they had done was a favor for her and that she had to pay her back. That wasn't how things worked and frankly, they knew she was truly thankful for that.

"We're going to need a lot of food and music in the background if we don't want people looking at us like we lost our minds. This man right here will make it so, so please, let's get everyone food first," Theo said and Adolf just let out a whine.

However, he didn't mind that they were asking for some minutes of quiet for them to settle. They had been here for a while and clearly with the warm atmosphere for a night that usually has cold, they would have all the time in the world to make do with that.

"Amina and I will get the food for everyone," Trey suggested and the knights just nodded.

"Careful with the kids, they might eat more food," Sherry added.

"No worries, we'll prepare enough for everyone," Amina said as she and her brother got up, but not before she kissed Mbali's forehead, a sweet little gesture that Trey also left on Hudhayfah.

It was obvious that they were lovers in love and the knights were happier for them. None of the even thought to assume that the Russel siblings would want them dead or try to fuck around with their people.

If anything, they trusted them wholly even with their food, which was something that wouldn't have happened three hundred years ago. This was an improvement of the past and Hawi was a flag at how everyone was relaxed with the Russels.

It gave her hope that someday home would be complete when she brought back her Ruru. This was proof of their humanity and she wouldn't dare to question it. They were trusted by her knights and that was all that Hawi needed.

"If you guys need help, we are here just let us know," Hawi offered and they gave her a thumbs up to let her know that they would if they needed to. And so, the siblings walked out and the knights just turned to Adolf the chief whiner.

"Where was I?" Adolf asked and the knights let out laughs as they stared at him incredulously. He was the one with the complaints and whatever he had in mind and was seeking help for that too? Was he perhaps losing his mind in the process?

"You were glad to see me," Hawi said, even though a part of her could feel she was opening an insane pandora. She knew it wouldn't be dangerous, so what was the worst that her mate's beta would have for her, right?

"Ah, yeah. I have missed you with all of my heart. I have been waiting for you for years, my precious queen. Could you please… pretty please go to Olyana and sit on your throne? That queen Kia is a pain in my ass each day. I think she hates us," Adolf began determinedly.

Hawi choked on air.
