The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

All of them had clearly not been expecting that, but then it seemed like there were more than enough surprises waiting for them today.

"He\'s a dead man anyway. You could be doing us all a favor," Elodie suddenly spoke up and Rukiya turned to see the best friend that had betrayed Awuor. There was something about Elodie\'s betrayal that didn\'t sit right with Rukiya.

"Okay, great," Adolf said, as he lifted his sword, ready to thrust it into Sicario\'s chest. His eyes were filled with anger, and he wanted to avenge Awuor but more than anything, he wanted to prove to Rukiya that coming to Sicario was a dangerous move, on both ends.

Everyone knew that a wolf without their mate was as good as dead, especially if their mate was dead they all knew that alpha Sicario was slowly fading away. It would just be a matter of time before he snapped and they would have to put him down.

Maybe Elodie was right about this, but was she? Was that the reason she was currently daring Adolf in front of all the warriors who had come to fight for the sake of their fallen?

"Adolf—" Rukiya called, a warning clear in her voice, but it was one that Adolf was familiar with. It was the kind of warning that held no power at all, though, to everyone who was watching, it felt like Rukiya Greyson was warming her beta.

"They were reluctant and their people killed eight of our assets. Besides, we\'re here for revenge, aren\'t we? Eight assets dead, I say we take out the one most important person to them, what do you think, alpha?" Adolf said to Rukiya.

They Were currently playing a game that could cost them more, but Rukiya was sure her bet would know what was best for the both of them. He wouldn\'t drag Greyson to the mud.

"Do it," Rukiya said, right before he spoke.

"No! Don\'t. Please don\'t. Take me instead, I\'m more valuable than an alpha on his way to an early grave anyway," Jer said and Adolf smirked at Rukiya.

"Why should we take you, and what are the chances that you\'re not going to try fighting us?"

"I want to talk, Rukiya. I know we can come to a consensus. We have no reason to kill many, when we can sit down and talk about this. Please, give us a chance to make things right," Jer said, in the most un-alpha way.

Dom was watching from a distance and he had a constipated face on. He couldn\'t believe that this was the man who was going to lead Sicario when his father died. Maybe there was no hope for Sicario after all, right?

"We rounded up the group that attacked your home, and we have questioned them. We are willing to hand them over, if you stop the battle, alpha Rukiya," Dom said as she walked through the space that his warriors had let him.

He was simply proving how inefficient Jer was, but even then, Dominic Sicario never wanted to be the alpha, because there was a lot to be done.

"Fine. We\'re taking the alpha, Jeremiah, with us. Bring me the people behind the attacks, and you can have your faulty alpha back. You have three hours, Dominic. After that, I will start sending body parts. We both know how I like snipping body parts.

"Three hours, Dominic, or your pack will have to choose another alpha, Rukiya said, her tone warning Dominic.

"Fine, you got yourself a deal," Dom said, staring at Rukiya so coldly, but that didn\'t have any effect on the Greyson alpha. She was already used to being stared at differently by the men and women of the different packs.

Dominic was not going to make her back down, not ever.

"Bring him along, Adolf," Rukiya said to her beta, as her warriors pulled back from their fighting stances, and began walking away.

Rukiya was standing on the side, watching to make sure even her injured were taken. Thankfully, she didn\'t have any dead warriors, even though she knew that had all been trained to be ready for death at any moment.

It wasn\'t as welcoming, but that was part of everyone\'s training, including hers.

"I\'ll be back soon," Jer said to Elodie show as looking at him worriedly. He had told her to stay put in the alpha\'s office, but the woman had insisted on coming. well, she had come a little alter, but she was here now.

"Please be careful, I would hate to have to see you dead," Elodie said, as she rushed to hug Jer. Rukiya almost rolled her eyes at the woman, but what she heard Elodie say made her lift her head so fast and look at the woman.

"This soon," Elodie had mumbled, and obviously no one else had heard her. Well, Rukiya did hear her, and now Rukiya Greyson was curious about the woman.

Sure, no one from Sicario had told her of the relationship between Awuor and Elodie, but the spies had confirmed it more than once that this woman was the easier way to get to alpha Awuor. That was because Awuor loved her with every fiber of her being.

It just didn\'t make sense that with Awuor dead, Elodie was still clutching onto anything that could give her power.

Elodie Kane was planning something, but Rukiya wasn\'t interested in that. All she wanted right now, was her prisoners. So she waited for her warriors to walk out of Sicario and she followed them. Of course, Rukiya smiled at Theo on the way out as if to tell him that this wasn\'t personal.

But it was.

Rukiya had gotten the alpha she wanted and she didn\'t even have to kill so ay people. In the three hours that she had given Dominic, she would use it to the fullest to get all the answers she so desired.
