[AWUOR]

"You owe me a hunting trip, love. Let's be on our way, no?" Hawi said to a flushed Rukiya who was staring at her like the world was suddenly full of unicorns. And at that moment, Hawi took the chance to look at the woman before her.

This time, she didn't have anything to hide, or worry about because there was nothing that could ever beat what she was seeing right now.

Rukiya Greyson, smiling and happy, was a sight Hawi had gotten used to, but she was determined to make sure the smile stayed.

Love and life were still not going to be enough for Hawi to show Rukiya just how much she loved her, and maybe that was also why, as she stared at Rukiya, getting lost in the woman's eyes, Hawi reached out to Malika.

'I'm in trouble, Malika,' Hawi said in the mind link, while she traced a finger subconsciously on Rukiya's lips. She wanted more, she needed more, and yet right now as everyone was slowly dispersing, Hawi wondered what it would be like to taste Rukiya, and eat her up.

She wondered what it would feel like and even look like, when the woman before her was writhing in pleasure beneath her. She had never thought of that, and maybe that was also why she had subconsciously let Malika into her thoughts.

'Holy fuck, woman. I know I wanted you to be happy, but I didn't sign up for trauma. Now I have to sanitize my mind with images of dead people, damn,' Malika whined, but Hawi wasn't even fazed.

Sure, she hadn't intended for Malika to be that traumatized, but she wasn't sorry that she was thinking of spending long nights of pleasure with Rukya Gereyson.

'You sound like a saint,' Hawi said and Malika just mimicked Hawi.

'Anyway, you said you were in trouble. What is it?' Malika asked, having had enough of teasing Hawi, who was currently hugging an unexpecting Rukiya, courtesy of Malika's gentle push. It was strange how they were both connected.

Then again, Malika knew that Hawi had always wanted someone who could show her affection without a price for her to pay and Rukiya Greyson was just that. It may have taken them years to get here, but it was just perfect.

'Scan the Greyson woods for me. I have a terrible feeling about today, please. I need to be ready if there is something I need to worry about,' Hawi said, her voice getting serious as she smiled at Rukiya, before they started walking back to the pack house.

Hawi knew it wouldn't be long before they got ready for the hunting trip, but she needed the woods to be clear and not with things that could ruin her day.

Hawi knew her guts were never wrong, and the moment she had woken up and found herself in Greyson, she had felt like someone was pointing the explosives in the direction of the Greysons, and that didn't sit well with her.

'Hawi—'

'I just need to be sure, Malika. I can't mess this up, when she's the first good thing that happened to me in literal years. I can't make her worry again, not this time. If I'm right, then let me know, so I can go clear the woods and come back for her.

"She wants a hunting trip and I can't have that ruined for her. I just can't,' Hawi said to Malika, even though right now, she was watching Rukiya talk about how the Greyson woods were large and had good catches.

Rukiya was excited and that was all the more reason that Hawi needed to be sure about whatever was in those woods. She knew that she was right to be skeptical, but goodness, she wanted to be so wrong today.

Maybe then she would be happy with Rukiya, but for how long, right?

"So have you ever gone hunting before?" Rukiya asked Hawi who was staring at her, while she waited for Malika's response.

'Fine, Hawi. But if there's danger, you can't stop me from coming to help you—'

'Malika—'

'That is my condition, as your protector,' Malika insisted.

She may have been far, but her job description had never once changed, even though she was in Sicario. Awuor Hawi was her only job and no matter what happened, she wasn't going to fail, not this time, and not ever.

"Or you've been cooped up in your office working on the papers all this time?" Rukuya teased and Hawi let out a chuckle.

"I've been out there several times, but just never in the Greyson woods. I'm glad I get to explore the Greyson woods with their queen herself," Hawi said as she got up from where she was seated, and walked towards Rukiya, who was still checking the outfits.

She didn't see the need for them to change clothes, since she couldn't die and she was always going to protect Rukiya.

"Their queen?" Ruuya asked absentmindedly. She knew she was no queen, so she figured that maybe Hawi was referring to herself as the queen, but was that it really?

"Yes, you are their queen. The Greyson lands are so huge and you've managed to make sure there is peace and that they are stronger than most, despite the challenges.

"That, moya krushka, in my books, makes you the queen," Hawi said, tucking a stray hair behind Rukiya's neck, before she kissed her forehead and went to sit back down, like that was the only thing she had wanted.

Oh, Hawi was soft for Rukiya and it was a beautiful sight, really.

'Fine, go. Scan and let me know. I need to find an excuse early enough so I won't take away that smile on her face. Goddess, isn't she a beautiful soul?' Hawi said to Malika who just sighed knowingly.

Then again, she was glad that Hawi had a purpose other than her vengeance.

Of course, Mlika had always wondered what life would be like for Hawi, once she was done burning down Sicario. There would be a deep and hollow gap that nothing would ever fill, and chances were that Hawi would spiral into depression.

Malika had seen that with most of the wolves over the course of her life, but she didn't want that for Hawi. And maybe that was also why seeing Rukiya in Hawi's life was something that even she wanted to protect.

Because Rukiya Greyson meant a future for Hawi, a future that didn't have so much pain. Granted, they would go through hell in their quest for justice, but at least when all that ended, Hawi would have someone to live for. That was all that mattered to Hawi.

'I was already scanning anyway,' Malika said, making Hawi smile while she stared at Rukiya. At least she could explain that she was smiling because of Rukiya, and not because she was glad her protector was an efficient one.

'What did you find?' Hawi asked, and Rukiya and Malika spoke to her at the same time.

"You flatter me, my little wolf. Anyway, I'm done, come, let's see which of these fits you well, before the sun goes down" Rukiya chirped.

'Hawi, you were right. There are hostiles in the Greyson woods, and they are coming for Rukiya,' Malika confirmed.

"Fuck," was all Hawi could manage, in response to the two women.
