The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[SICARIO]

"Did I have too much to drink or are things falling from the sky?" Elodie asked as she looked outside. She had never seen shit like this. Hell, even when Drew and his huge ass ship made it to Sicario there was nothing like this.

This right here was insanity at best and Elodie wasn't sure if this was real or if they were trapped in some state they needed to work their way around. Whatever the fuck was going on here wasn't good and she needed to snap out of it.

"No, I'm seeing the s–" Theo began before she returned to look at his alpha, the stench of the beer at the local taverns hitting their noses. He hadn't expected this, but then again it wasn't like anything had been normal since Hawi had left.

They had been running on straws and were doing their best to make it through the day. Maybe they just needed to hold on for a little longer, maybe they would be fine then, right?

Besides it wasn't like they were about to get to the end of this damned world, right?

"You reek,'' Theo said to his alpha who just stared at him as if to ask if that was the only thing he had in mind, Hudhayfah on the other hand was watching the shit that was falling from the sky and it was hard to explain.

He knew that things that only the crazies sent would come through, yet at the same time, it made no sense that How would send in a ship and then send in a bed as if Sicario was running low on bets.

All of this was confusing as hell but then suddenly everything stopped. The time stopped and it was just Elodie and Hudhayfah who could move.

"I am definitely high on shit this time. Did everyone just stop, or should I seek a therapist's attention?" Elodie asked when she walked out of the pack house corridor and stepped into the field that was right before them.

This was the same field that had a broken bed and the same field that seemed to have everyone frozen. Hell, even the trees were not swaying and the winds couldn't be felt.

"I think we just triggered something evil?" Hudhayfah said even though it came off as a question rather than what he had intended for it to be.

But even if there was some other intention behind all of this, there was no valid explanation for the kind of things they were seeing at the moment.

It was like someone was fucking with them, which was really daring because all the enemies of Sicario had either been apprehended or had steered clear of the pack in every way.

This was insanity at best, and it was a strange thing that got Elodie and Hudhayfah staring at the beauty that was Sicario. Granted time has stopped, but damn if this was the reality.

This pack had already gone through hell and even to hell itself and now they were stopping time? What the fuck were they even on?

"I don't think so. I read the old books and the last time something like this happened the white wolf's mate was where she didn't need to be. Maybe it's just Hawi's way of getting Ruru safe," Elodie said and Hudhayfah looked at her surprised.

It was almost like she was speaking a new language that interested him. Hudhayfah had lived long enough to know the history books by heart and he had already thought of that possibility, but he was worried that saying that would get Leode worried.

Funny how that worked for them when she had been keen with her books. Perhaps that was what life was meant to be about, right?

"So, you do read?" Hudhayfah stated and Elodie chuckled.

"Come, we don't know what is happening and we can't stay in a frozen Sicario for the longest time," Elodie said right as they heard Farida calling out Hudhayfah's name. She wounded so frantic and worried that the duo rushed to where she was.

"What happened Farida?" Hudhayfah asked as he looked at the woman who looked like she had been having the worst of days suddenly. Life was good in Sicario and since He had mended it, they truly had no reason to be worried.

They had been living life that many packs had long wished for and never were able to make real. It was a gamble with the worst of the fates and yet here, in this moment, the only thing that mattered was the fact that they had defied a lot and got to this point.

But was that all there ever was to their bond or was this it's another game by the fates for them?

"I think I have Rukiya Greyson in my house. I may be hallucinating but she looks awfully like Hawi's mate. I hope I'm high on shit, because she looks so angry like she could tear me limb from limb," Farida said and Hudhayfah sighed.

Of course, only Rukiya Greyson could be doing that and scare the woman that much.

Well, they had to go check it out before the timer stopped because there was only one other explanation for that and frankly, it didn't look too good, because that would mean that Sicario would brace for war again.

Oh, to be in a peaceful Sicario for just five months.

"That is the craziest shit I've heard since learning my sister was alive. Let's see for ourselves, perhaps she can also explain why the fuck Mbali is unconscious in her room," Elodie said as she led the way to the ice cream vendor's house. She was not even over the fact that Mbali was here, and now there was a chance that a raging Rukiya Greyson was here with them.

There had been levels to insanity with Hawi and the Savasci knights, but then it was impossible to tell which side was crazier because each day life was giving them the worst of the word.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was like there was smoke that they could deal with and life itself was not as kind as they had imagined.

"I don't even know what to think," Farida said as she looked at her and the alpha. So much was sharpening in Sicario that even though time had stopped there was no telling what to expect.

If anything, at the moment they could have asked thieves why the fuck the three of them and Ruru were the only ones who were able to move around instead of everyone else. But then they had seen their fair share of impossible to not even question it at this moment.

No one knew what any of that would ever mean, and if they were being honest, perhaps it would have been better if they didn't know as much because that would make their lives a tad bit easier.

"We're here," Farida said as she stepped back. She couldn't find herself walking in there because the moment she had seen Ruru, she had run to look for help in explaining whatever the fuck was going on here.

Maybe she was a coward for that, but it would have been easier if the person in question wasn't one of the craziest creatures that the realm had brought into existence to eradicate all evil.

"Create me a damn portal to the sacred island, Hudhayfah. And be fast with it."
