The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[HAWI]

As the trio walked to the camp that Malika and the crew had created, they were excited that their friends were there. Maybe it was a lot for them to hope for, but they had come a long way for them to get to this point.

The endless smiles in the camp were exciting really, even as they teased the hell out of each other. Of course, as was expected, they had a blast teasing Hawi and Ruru. The duo in question didn't try to fight their truth, but they joined in the laughter, before eventually sitting there three hours later to eat.

The night had come a little earlier than they had estimated, but what mattered was that they were okay with each other. They would figure this out together at the end of the day, no matter what happened along the way.

"Alright alright, now for the best part of this segment!" an excited Hawi spoke.

She had drunk a lot of beer but it didn't do shit because he could never get drunk. Maybe that was a blessing in disguise, but then it wasn't something she wouldn't consider in times like this.

She was just happy to be here with her friends. Besides, whatever happened here they would all figure out a way to make it all better eventually anyway, right?

"The part where you dance?" Elodie asked as she popped her head from behind Malika who was sitting on her lap. They looked so domestic and casual you would think they had smelt years and extras loving each other.

Theirs was a new relationship but they were doing way better than most at the moment. But then it didn't matter because the only thing that mattered to them was the fact that they had to make things work for them no matter what happened.

"Oh, please she has thirteen left feet! She could break the realm if she dances, do not encourage her!" Mbali warned lightly as she looked at Hawi who was already pouring. Well, it was no news that the woman couldn't dance to save her life.

But who was to say she hadn't probably gotten some lessons from Ruru over the past years, right? Well, they had been too busy killing creatures instead of living normal lives so that was not obvious enough.

"Maybe she wasn't to sing," Ruru said even though she was setting her mate up. That was the worst thing they could hear in the night, unless they wanted their eardrum blowing off and never functioning again.

"I love my sister, Ruru, but unless you want to make us all deaf, do not encourage her. There are things she can do other than singing and dancing," Eldie sighed and Ruru took that as a chance to be loud about their relationship.

"Yeah, like fucking me senseless wherever," Ruru said and everyone let out groans while Hawi just leaned in to kiss her on the lips, something that earned another round of groans. It wasn't fair to the lot of them who were single, not that they cared.

"I know we're supposed to be happy and shit, but visualizing you two at it, makes me want to puke my guts out and I haven't even eaten enough today," Sherry whined and Zane backed her. This was not fair to them.

"I'm pretty good at it, wanna bet?'' Hawi added and their friends began throwing things at them, which they conveniently missed. You would think they had trained for this. Well, to be fair, this was the first time their friends were hurling things at them.

"Public decency children, I wouldn't want to be involved in that. I am old enough to be your grandfather," Hudhayfah whined even though he looked twenty-eight and had maintained his body.

Strangely enough, their friends hadn't even focused on his shift, they were just glad that he was here with them. After all, they loved him no matter what body he was in. Because as long as they could identify him in a room full of people, they would be safe.

"Says the one who got a mate seven hundred years ago, and is still looking for him… what was it you said his name was? Per–" Elodie began and Hudhayfah just sighed sadly before he completed the sentence.

"Perihan. His name was Perihan. I don't know if he still lives or if he died, because he was human, but I will not stop trying to find him no matter how many years pass. It doesn't matter how long it takes or even if he reincarnated into a woman.

"I will love him nonetheless. I thought he was reborn into Farida, but I was wrong so I can only hope that I will find him eventually. Besides, I have an eternity to live and find him. No pressure there," Hudhayfah said.

The camp went silent as they stared at him softly. They knew what mate bonds were and they knew how hard it was to find them. Right now, he was holding on, waiting for someone who may not have even been real, but they just had to hope for him, right?

At the mention of the mess Hudhayfah was hoping to find a solution to, Mbali instinctively looked at Amina. She knew it wasn't fair to the woman, but then she hadn't wanted this in the first place.

Sure, Amina was good for her and her sanity, but Amina was almost an enemy.

She was one of the people that Mbali needed to find a way to be rid of. She was here, welcome because of her but at the same time, Mbali couldn't help but think that Amina was here as a traitor.

Perhaps it was because Mbali had locked her heart for so many years and didn't understand the hysteria about happiness but maybe, just maybe, they wouldn't find a way to each other eventually, right?

"Well, Hudhayfah, whoever Perihan is, or wherever he is, he must be the luckiest man to have you as a mate. Don't worry though, if he tries to hurt you, we all will break his neck, even Amina here will help us alright?

"Did you know Amina was a Russel? The good kind though," a drunk Elodie said only for Malika to shut her up with a kiss.

She couldn't have them riling up Mbali this soon because it would be hard to control the woman if they weren't even sure if this would turn out. Perhaps they just had to keep Ella's mouth shut, right?

"But I w—" Elodie whined when Malika pulled back from the kiss for a few seconds.

"I'm going to need you to stay shut alright, Ella?" Malika said softly though there was a stern tone in her voice. One that Elodie knew well enough not to mess with at the moment.

"Yes, ma'am," Elodie said, and Hawi snickers. These two were sickeningly adorable.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Alright, anyone still have something to say before I say anything?" Hawi asked and Zane raised his hand like he wanted to say something. Maybe he did, or maybe he was just part of the bandwagon of misfits who were here to tease the fuck out of each other.

"What is it, Zane?" Hawi asked.

"Well, I heard a little rumor that you're planning a mass wedding, can I come to the wedding too?" Zane asked and Hawi stared at him in confusion. When the fuck had that even happened?

"A wedding?"

"Yes, a big ass werewolf wedding," Zane confirmed.

"I will have to confirm with my mate, but you will definitely be invited to the wedding, Zaniel," Hawi said as she looked at her mate who was looking everywhere but at her, with a sheepish smile on her face.

So, her beautiful mate was already planning a wedding without her knowing. It was a beautiful idea and for a moment there they wondered what her Ruru would look like in a long wedding gown, one that hugged the floor as she walked over to her.

She wondered what wedding color her mate would choose, even though she knew so well that whatever Ruru wanted Ruru would always get. It was a beautiful thought and a happy one because Hawi was always thinking of their pups running around when they were at the wedding. Or maybe they would wed first and have kids.

That didn't matter, as long as she had her Ruru. as long as her world never was without the Greyson girl. She was down so bad for the woman it was agonizing to even think about.

Their love was perfect to say the least and no matter what happened and how things went, they would always find a way.

"Thank you, Alpha. Now you can continue," Zaniel said, though Hawi was still trapped in the fantasy of her and Rukiya Greyson. The kind of family she would have with her, it wasn't going to be a normal family that much was certain, but Hawi knew she would burn the world for her mate.

However, she had a feeling that when they were done with all of them, there wouldn't be a need for them to burn the world. Perhaps they would be the ambassadors and make the world a better place like they haven't found it.

Maybe it would be a happy place, but damn was it a beautiful thought that Hawi was engrossed in. A world with her people and everyone else happy. A world without vengeance, a world without bloodshed.

A world of dreams. If only that was possible at the moment. But then maybe they had to endure this so that when the time came when they would be happier and a time when they would love and not worry about their loved ones getting hurt.

"Alpha?"

"Oh yes… you're invited. Now back to what I was about to say…"
