The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[RUKIYA]

"Yes. Yes alpha, take the offer," Hudayfah said and Rukiya got up, fist-bumping the air, while her beta was sighing defeatedly. Well, she finally got her answers anyway.

Alpha Jer looked at the Greyson alpha and her people and wondered what the hell they were looking for. However, he was more than happy to have Hudayfah\'s hands off of him, because he was already feeling like the world was out and on his case.

"We\'ll take the offer, alpha Jeremiah. I look forward to seeing you hold your end of the bargain, or you know what will happen to your people. We really don\'t want anything like that happening, or do we?" Rukiya asked Jer, who looked at her like this woman was crazy.

She had gotten her healer to check if he was lying? What the hell was even wrong with her? Well, that seemed to be the only thing that Jer needed to know that Rukiya Greyson wasn\'t to be messed with.

This woman had some loose screws in her head, and Jeremiah wasn\'t going to sit and wait to see what else she had in plan for him. Maybe this was his punishment for rejecting Awuor, but then it wasn\'t like Awuor was the one who had sent the rebels to Rukiya, right?

"Okay, I get it. Now that we\'re done, what do I need to do now?" Jer asked Rukiya who simply ignored him and focused on Hudhayfah and Adolf. Of course, the people around them would know what they were talking about, and it was dangerous.

To make sure they remained in confidentiality, Hudayfah cast a spell that blocked anyone from hearing what they were discussing; even the warriors they had come with were not allowed to listen in on this.

This was high-key confidential, but for the smiles on Rukiya\'s face, they could tell that they were talking about something that would definitely benefit the Greyson pack, right?

"Now what?" Adolf asked Rukiya. He was clearly against the whole psycho plan to go after Awuor. Confirming that the alpha was alive was one thing, but planning on going after her, was some other level of insanity.

Of course, Adolf knew just how obsessed Rukiya had gotten with the topic of Awuor; it was almost like she was ready to fight for the woman.

Granted, he had no problem with that, but then Rukiya was the Greyson alpha and not a Sicario alpha. They would be putting so many people at risk and it wasn\'t going to be fair on any of them.

"We release Jer to go back to his people. He\'s of no use to me anyway. I found what I wanted, so it doesn\'t matter what he does or says, as long as he keeps up his end of the bargain," Ruiya said and Adolf groaned.

He knew this wasn\'t what they had planned for, and honestly, he was hoping that they would get different answers so Rukiya would leave Awuor alone. But it seemed like the universe was playing another game with the woman.

"But alpha, she won\'t be easy to find," Hudhayfah said to Rukiya who was still excited about Awuor being alive. Anyone could have assumed that Awuor was important to her, considering the amount of happiness on Rukiya\'s face right now.

"I know, Hudhayfah, I know. But what matters now is that she\'s alive. I don\'t care how long it will take me to find her. She\'s alive, and that\'s all I needed to know, honestly," Rukiya said as she broke the barrier she had Hudhayfah set so their discussion wouldn\'t be heard by the others.

It only meant that there was nothing left for them to talk about.

"You can go, alpha Jeremiah, but remember what is said. If you don\'t keep your end of the bargain, I will come for more than eight lives, and I will show no mercy," Rukiya said seriously as she stared coldly at her.

She was tempted to punch him for rejecting Awuor, but she knew Adolf would probably take her to a therapy session for being absurd. So she didn\'t do anything other than give her the coldest stare she could muster.

"We will sign the treaty in two weeks\' time, alpha Rukiya. Thank you for your understanding and I hope we get to live in harmony," Jer said before adding, \'\'I will take my leave now."

Rukiya watched Jer walk away and for a moment, she felt like she was letting the devil go back to his den.

She wanted to strike him down for what he and Dom had done, but she knew that she would be stealing Awuor\'s vengeance from her, and that also meant that she would be enemies with the worst of the strongest alpha in their word.

That was too much of a risk even for her, and she wanted to respect the woman.

So she breathed out a defeated sigh, as she watched Jer and didn\'t stop staring until the man was out of her sight. She wondered what it was that Awuor had seen in the bastard, but then she also knew that the universe didn\'t give two shits while pairing the two wolves together.

It was a harsh pairing though.

"Listen up everyone! You did great today. However, we are not leaving this camp until tomorrow evening. That is to remind the Sicario wolves that if they plan on abandoning the deal we can always go back and kill them all.

"For now, stay on alert, and you guys can have fun! Good job once again!" Rukiya said to her warriors who were proud of their alpha too. They cheered for her once she was done with her speech of course some went in for fist bumps while the others just gave her a thumbs up.

It was important that they maintained their distance with her because she was one hell of a woman who could eliminate anyone she didn\'t feel like interacting with.

It was easy to maintain a professional distance with Rukiya unless you were sure she wouldn\'t kill you out of anger. And that was Adolf\'s position as her best friend and beta anyway.

"Rukiya, what you\'re planning on doing is dangerous. I know I will follow you to the ends of the world, but I need to know if you are really sure about this.

"Remember that once you make the choice, there will never be a chance for you to turn back. Everyone will know and you will be in that cycle unless the woman comes and takes over. You do know that, right?

"And you also know that there is a really high chance of Alpha Awuor dismissing your efforts?" Adolf said to his best friend who was currently standing next to the lake near where Awuor\'s shelter once was.

Of course, their camp was in the free lands, but Rukiya had made sure it was located close enough to where Awuor had been living. It was the reminder that an innocent woman was forced to a fate worse than death.

"I know, Adolf. And I also know you have your suspicions about me and Awuor."
