The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

Chapter 226: You’re Perfection, My Only Direction

[RUKIYA]

Malika knew Rukiya was feeling guilty for everything she had lost. It was expected given the infodump she had gotten from Hudhayfah earlier, however, even she knew that it was not a simple thing to do.

She wanted to talk the woman out of it, but Malika had a feeling that this would only agitate Rukiya more.

The woman wanted peace and that was something that wouldn't be easy to get, not with the weight of the world pinning down on her and Hawi. She would just have to face the truth of the matter and at the end of the day, maybe it would all get better.

"You can only mark her on the neck when she is conscious, allows it, and she has taken over the crown of the white wolf in the realm. If this is about creating or triggering the mate dong, then her wrist will do," Malika said, making Rukiya smile sheepishly at her.

"I knew that already. I was just waiting for you to confirm it," Rukiya said and Malika didn't say a word, other than hold the woman's hand and portal them into Rukiya's chambers, where the wild girl was sleeping peacefully.

"Are you sure about this, Greyson?" Malika asked a second time. She wanted to be sure that Ruru wanted this, because the consequences would be crazy.

Even though Malika wasn't telling Rukiya that Hawi had marked her the first time they met, she knew she had to be there to try and discourage Rukiya in this. Maybe it would make it easier for the Greyson alpha to feel like she had some control on who she could choose for her mate, when in reality, there was never a choice.

She was Hawi's, no matter what the fates decided, and no matter what Rukiya felt. Ruru was born specifically for Hawi and if Hawi didn't exist, then Ruru wouldn't be there with them.

It was a haunting truth, but one that would keep the balance and encourage the Greyson alpha, right?

"With my life, Malika. With my life.," Rukiya said confidently, and Malika was done trying to take her out of it. It was one thing to be in danger, but right now, there was nothing they could do.

Razia Greyson was a danger and Rukiya had already accepted that.

"Alright then. In that case, I'll just increase the potency of the spelling spell. But once you bite her… Run, Rukiya, run. I can deal with everything, but you can't," Malika said.

Rukiya wanted to roll her eyes at the dramatics, but she knew Malika was being truthful with her. The stakes were always going to be high when it came to Hawi and the sooner they realized that, the worse it would be for them to find their permanent spot in life.

"Okay. Let's do this," Rukiya said as she pushed the duvet on the side just a little to show Hawi's left arm that was draped over a pillow.

Hawi always hugged a pillow when she slept and when she was with Rukiya, Ruru was always like her pillow that made her feel safe. The little things about the girl in this bed made Rukiya's heart ache for her.

She was so good a person and yet her trials were always by fire. Perhaps Ruru would take care of this one for her, right?

"You ready?" Malika asked once she cast the spell on Hawi.

The wolf girl looked so calm right now, like she did know that her mate was about to bite into her hand, but was that it really? Granted, there were chances that she really was asleep because she would have tried to save Rukiya, as she always did, but what if?

"Goddess save us all," Rukiya said as she gently pulled Hawi's wrist to her, closing her eyes as she sank her fangs into Hawi's waiting wrist.

At first, she was scared, but the moment her fangs penetrated Hawi's skin, it was like Ruru couldn't stop herself. She could feel the sparks running through her body, making her feel so many things in one go.

She could feel the relief Hawi was feeling in her sleep, but she could also feel the restraint that Hawi was having, not to mention the fact that she felt a new mind link open between her and Hawi.

It was strange really, given the official mind links only ever opened when the two marked each other. However, Rukiya didn't question it, even as she felt Hawi's blood drip slowly on her. She wanted to stay here like this for a little longer.

Maybe she was in awe for even thinking of that, but then her thoughts were filled with Hawi, just Hawi. She sucked the blood that was seeping from Hawi's wrists and it seemed to unlock more than Rukiya Greyson would have expected.

Ruru got insights into memories that she never thought she would ever face. The memories of a little girl, memories of her father and her mother. Memories of when her hell had broken loose.

She got the memories of the pain her father had gone through; it was all so intense that if she didn't have the power she had, Rukiya could have long dropped dead. But then here she was.

"Rukiya, you need to stop and pull back," Malika said when she saw Hawi squirm in her sleep and gently pull her wrist. It seemed like the plan was slowly failing and would get them into more trouble than they already were in if anyone saw them like this.

Ruru looked at Malika, as she showed Malika her fangs that were stuck in Hawi's waist, holding them in place like they were not supposed to leave. It was not what Rukiya had expected but she didn't feel too bad about her fangs getting stuck in Hawi's wrist.

"Fucking hell," Malika sighed before she turned her attention to Hawi, who was sleeping soundly, her wrist closing up.

Rukiya wasn't panicking in any way, she just held Hawi's wrist in her mouth as she tried to think back to the endless times that he had never had her memories.

She had realized she had been missing memories and now all she had to do was to sink her fangs in Hawi and she would get them all back?

What kind of logic was that?

"Hawi, you need to relax. You're not in any danger and your hands closing on that particular fang is dangerous for both you and I, Mistress. Come on, unless you want to explain to Rukiya that you had someone else bite into your wrists instead of her?

"I bet that would be interesting to watch. She would definitely kick you out of the house and let you sleep in the cold for cheating on her," Malika whispered softly to Hawi.

Anyone would think they were having a normal conversation instead of one that was accusing Rukiya of something that she hadn't done yet. It was hilarious though, because Rukiya felt Hawi's wrist muscles loosening and she was able to release her fangs from Hawi's hand, only for them to close up instantly.

Rukiya looked at Malika with accusing eyes, before she wiped Hawi's wrist and Malika cleaned the blood droops on the sheet. They wanted it to be a clean job, but then how the fuck would they explain the moon mark that Rukiya had left on Hawi's wrist then?

"I told you to run, Rukiya. Leave. We can explain this later, when we are alive, and not when we are in danger. Come along; the only thing left is for me to unblock your magic's focal point and you will be able to do whatever.

"And by the way, why is Adolf taking too long to reach our camp?" Malika asked, making Rukiya roll her eyes at the protector.

Which part of the endless questions was she supposed to answer? Besides, did Malika forget that Adolf was an actual wolf with a whole ass team instead of a protector who could just portal in and out of Greyson like she liked?

"You come along. The more you talk, the higher the chances of us being caught increases," Rukiya whispered, as she covered Hawi and kissed her on the forehead. Together, the two women left the room hurriedly, and thankfully, Hawi was asleep, or was she?

With Rukiya and Malika out of Hawi's room, the duo knew that there was a new smile for them to do. However, it seemed like Malika was in a hurry, because she grabbed Rukiya, pinned her on the wall, before she blasted Rukiya's chest with a ball of magic.

It wasn't hurtful but it was strenuous, because Rukiya clenched her teeth until Malika released her, making her lose her balance and fall on one knee. However, before she would ask Malika anything, Malika created a portal and disappeared through, leaving Rukiya overly confused and standing there like shit had really happened.

Ruru wasn't sure what the fuck was happening to her or with her, but when she heard the door to her mother's chambers open, the Greyson alpha shifted into her wolf and disappeared through the nearest balcony.

She wasn't ready to face her mother, and he wasn't in the mood to pretend that it was all rainbows and sunshine with her. If anything, Ruru had barely just woken up after the mess Hawi had released her form earlier, and now, she needed to think.

Perhaps it would take a little time, because as she disappeared in the woods, Rukiya could swear she heard her mother chuckle. But that wasn't what shocked her. The only thing that shocked her, was her next words.

"Your magic will make it easiest for me and my brothers to track you, my little girl. Congratulations on making my work easier."

She was officially a target for the shadow warlocks.

Would the warlocks win though?
