The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[HAWI]

"What the fuck do you mean by Amina, Malika? Is she dangerous? What did she do? Why the fuck did she do this to my warrior?" Hawi asked, her voice lowering you would think that she was about to make a Christmas carol and not that she was an angry woman who wanted to burn it all down because of Amina.

Goodness that woman was on the one radar that could see her dead even before sunrise. But then who the fuck was Amina, really? Who was beyond what they knew of her the little they had learned for the sake of Mbali?

"Yeah, Mistress. Amina was around the last time my protection spell didn't work on my sister. She was the reason it failed. And she's the only one I've come to know can make that happen," Malika said making Hawi stare at her protector.

It was weird hearing that there was an actual chance that Malika Jabali was defeated in one aspect and that too when it came to family. What the fuck was this even about? Find your next read on empire

At the same time, it was interesting to know that despite everything they had done to make things work, nature would always have a loophole and most of the time, love was that loophole.

Family was always the strongest aspect of life and yet at the same time, family would always be the only thing that got most people on their knees for some reason.

It wasn't the best of policies but the universe needed a balance, and it sounded one, one so lethal that no one would ever be able to make it through regardless.

"She's here? Amina is here?" Mbali asked, her pain making her smile falter for a moment there.

She was happy to hear of the town and she had missed the woman, and maybe it was not what anyone would have expected of her but then it wasn't like she could choose the best mate for her or could she?

She did not know much about Amina and unlike her team that considered Amina a threat, Mbali loved the idea of Amina being around.

Sure, Mbali had exactly been welcoming of the idea of mates, but then she loved the fact that despite everything the woman had still managed to break into the first wall of her heart.

She had made her feel like her world wasn't so bad and that there was more to life than what was ever going to be possible. There were a lot of things going on and they were about to deny that.

"You're excited?" Malika asked disappointedly as she stared at her sister who looked high as a kite.

Maybe the pain and the magic that was in her system had drugged her or maybe it was the thought of Amina being close that got her that excited.

She wanted to see Amina.

The last time they had interacted, Amina was more a shadow than anything she could have imagined. The woman hadn't shown her face and had made Mbali feel special in a good way.

Mbali would never admit that to her crew, but it was a truth that she was never going to forget. This was not how they pictured their mission but then so far, it was all going so well. Besides what else could go wrong now, right?

"No, I'm not. I'm in pain, the poison is killing me slowly, can't I at least smile even if it's the last time?" Mbali asked harshly, her anger making a show.

She knew this wasn't what her sister had anticipated but even she hadn't anticipated being poisoned and her being on the ground like they were either, right?

She had been alright until her defenses were pulled down involuntarily, something that rendered her weak and open for attacks that she hadn't planned for. This was not how she had imagined her mission going, but then she was stuck here right?

Her sister had no right to be mad at her for this, or was she?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Seriously?" Malika asked angrily, not receiving that her sister could be excited about this shit when she was in danger.

Which part of Amina was dangerous to Mbali wasn't her sister understanding? And how the hell were they supposed to make that better for her? If anything, it was like Mbali was already in deep shit long before this happened right?

Or who were they even to blame for this?

"Oh, come on. Isn't it a little too late for you to be playing older sister? This isn't going to help you or me, let's just steer off each other's lanes alright?

"Besides, even if Amina is here, she wouldn't show her face because of how cruel you could be, and here you think you're saving me," Mbali retorted, ignoring the pain she was feeling.

She could feel her head splitting but that's nothing compared to the pain she felt when her sister realized that this as Amina's doing and the possibility that Malika would actually come to kill Amina.

That was something that broke Mbali's heart and it made her irritable. Amina was the first person she had truly gotten attracted to and wanted to stay around. Granted, the woman was still an illusion to Mbali, but then Mbali was counting on seeing Amina again.

She wanted to know more about the mysterious woman who brought her flowers to soothe her, and who kept her company just because Mbali had felt lonely and hurt.

Mbali wanted to know about the woman who had defied all odds and come to where they were despite knowing that she would be in danger. It wasn't the best of first impressions Mbali was hog for with Amina, but goodness, this angry Malika wasn't going to be making things any easier for her.

Her sister was worried about her and Mbali understood that, but then Malika had no right to be acting like a barbarian just because her sister wanted to be happy with a woman they didn't know of, right?

"You don't mean that, Mbali. She is your sister," Ruru said softly as she watched Hawi siphon the poison from Mbali.

It was hard, with the way Mbali was weak, but she was trying.

Mbali was irritable and they needed to understand that they were threatening to take away the one person she had felt safe with, the one person who meant something to her and the one person who had given her hope that maybe, maybe she wasn't the girl who couldn't be loved.

That maybe she was the girl everyone wants to be with and the girl that love and life finally took a chance on. They were threatening to ruin that for her and Mbali wasn't going to accept that.

She deserved to be loved and held like someone important. She deserved to have a choice and she deserved to have a chance at happiness.

They couldn't really be denying her that little chance when they all had their people with them right? Malika had Elodie and Hawi had Ruru. What was so wrong about her having Amina, wheeler Amina was?

"Coming from the girl who watched her best friend die unjustly and is still playing hide and seek with the stupid warlock we should have all killed, you sure have a high horse to be in," Mbali growled at Rukiya.
