The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[HAWI]

"Lift him up and lay him on the cross I created. It's calling his name," Rukiya said and with her magic, Malika lifted Nik after Hawi had gotten her leg off of him. She then placed him in the cross where Ruru tied him up with the silver chains.

If Ruru had been a regular wolf she could be so close to the grave but thankfully the magic was protecting them. It was a beautiful thing really being this safe around the people she loved.

"He boutta look like a sacrifice," Mbali snickered at the sight. It horrified them but they were all monsters created by pain so this was nothing. They wanted to see what Nik's limits were and it was a pretty exciting idea for them.

They wanted to know if Nik would take long to crack like Razia or if he would be an easy target for them. Whichever way there was no denying that they would have a lot of fun with all that was at the moment.

Maybe someday they would be happy and they wouldn't have to fight for their peace every day right?

"He screams like a girl," Hawi said as she watched the mess her mate had created.

Nik was in so much pain it was horrifying to watch. His body was changing and with the ground shaking because of his magic, everything was to take a turn for the worst eventually.

Maybe it was a good thing he wasn't dealing with saints in the evening, right? Because these were women who would do whatever it took to make sure he never saw the light of day again.

They would make sure his family was nothing but a part of a history book on the shelf that would forever be forgotten, the kind of history that people would be too ashamed to even consider repeating.

That was how messy they were planning to deal with the Russel brothers. An eye was for an eye after all anyway.

"I am a girl and I don't scream like that," Malika laughed, making the rest of the knights laugh at Nik who was slowly changing. He was growing paler and probably greener, not that any of them cared one bit about the man.

He deserved whatever was coming his way and more.

"He's channeling the earth. Maybe he thinks he can save himself this time," Mbali pointed out when she noticed that the black locust was slowly embedding itself into the ground, almost like it was taking seed and striving to bear more like it.

Unfortunately for Nik that wasn't going to stop them because they were not going to hold back at this point of their journey. They had come far too long to leave everything halfway just because of some bastard who thought life was all mushy and shit.

Everything was crazy but wasn't that normal anyway? Besides they were working with the information they had gathered over the past seven months. The trails they had gotten and the routes they had figured out.

It had been the same for the other Russel warlocks and even as they enjoyed making a mess of Nikolai Russel, they were ready for everything that was headed their way.

The last intel they had gotten over the past seven months about the shadow warlocks had pointed them west of the realm and that was where they were headed at the moment.

It didn't matter how long it would attack them to ding the shadow warlocks. They would find them and they would deal with them as planned.

"He can keep trying until we take a break a few hours from now," Ruru said as she stared at her mate who was staring at her proudly.

It was comforting to see the chaos that Ruru had started and the fact that they didn't take anyone to judge them for the way they dealt with their grief was encouraging their insanities.

Frankly this was the most dangerous these women could be and there was a lot that Nik was not sure of yet.

And so with Ruru done tying up Nik, they knew they had to get moving.

They had to follow the trails and make sure that they dealt with the enemies of their realm. Along the way and through the months that the realm was breaking apart, Hawi had learned of the different people and what they thought of the Savasci knights.

It was safe to say that the fear that the realm had of the mad women was something that would work in their favor because no one was stupid enough to go against the women who would burn them alive and then ask questions later anyway.

It wasn't worth the risk of their lives.

"It's settled. West it is. Let's get going, before the sun goes down," Hawi said and they all agreed. And so together they walked the long road for hours on end, with the ground still trembling, thanks to Nik's attempts that failed.

It was interesting though how he wasn't about to give up on this, but maybe he had his reasons. No one could fault him for that anyway. He was a survivor and he was in captivity.

A part of him was sure that being a shadow warlock had to mean something. He couldn't just be bested by women for that matter. He was a warlock whose magic came from the old religion.

Surely there was another way for him to free himself. Well, that could have worked if the white wolf's magic wasn't also a magic of the old times. Oh, Nik was in for a rough ride.

As they made their way to the west of the realm.

Taking in the beautiful sight of nature while ignoring the grunts of the man they were taking turns to drag on the ground, they believed that someday there would be a hope for a better life for them.

They were taking so many risks, in the hope that when the sun went down someday, they would be happy and smiling at the nature of the fate they shared once upon a time.

Maybe their fate would come sooner or later, seeing as Nikolai was still struggling despite the fact that he was hurt and broken by the pain of the thorns of the black locust.

"We've been on the road for hours on end, I think we can finally take a break," Malika suggested hopefully. The night was calling their names and their bodies begged for rest.

They may have been strong. But they needed to acknowledged the fact that regardless of how passionate they were in their mission, if they didn't stop, they would be subjecting each other to a fate worse than death.

"Best idea ever," Hawi groaned as she left the chain she was holding on the ground, it had been her turn to defrag Nikolai and it was safe to say she despised the man even more. The audacity he had to be heavy as hell when he was a sinner.

However, that joy seemed to be short-lived because the moment Hawi's chains hit the ground, Nik used that chance to open his eyes and cast one last spell that he could manage with the strength he had accumulated from fighting the black locust poison.

Nik stabbed Mbali with one of the roots of the black locust.

And it actually affected her.

Malika's spell on her sister failed.

This was not good.
