The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

There were so many whispers among the wolves as Rukiya walked ahead of her barbarian woman. She could smell Hawi's anger and emotional turmoil and she felt like this would take a lot. She wanted to understand Hawi, she really did.

But then Hawi Sicario wasn't the kind of woman who was an open book. Even in her grief, she was acting like the world was full of unicorns and pretty butterflies. She was not ready to face it all and that was going to be challenging even for Rukiya Greyson.

"She started it!'' Hawi said the moment they walked into Rukiya's office. She didn't even give them a chance to assess the damage on Malika's new face. She wanted to find an excuse and what better way than to point fingers when she was the one in the wrong?

Adolf looked like he wanted to be everywhere, but this room where two psychos happened to love each other and were now about to throw the dice on who was craziest. Perhaps he should have just stayed out of this, right?

Well, that would have been easier if he wasn't the Greyson beta and Rukiya's best friend anyway.

"Oop–" Mbali snickered and Rukiya gave her the stink eye, to which Mbali responded by raising her hands up in surrender.

"Started it? What are you? Five? Four?" Rukiya asked as she looked at her woman. The fact that the beauty before her had decided to go all unhinged was making Rukiya wonder what else was going on in Hawi's mind.

Adolf and Malika stared at the duo like chaos was about to brew, but then they couldn't leave because they had more pressing concerns about Hawi. They were worried sick for her and it was obvious that her ways of distracting herself could prove harmful to people.

Or just Malika, right?

"Fine. It was an accident. I threw the ball and it UNFORTUNATELY hit Sherry's niece. I'm sorry alright? Now can I please go back to playing ball? It's been a long since I was this free and with nothing to think about.

"Pretty please, Ruru?" Hawi said as she stared at Rukiya with puppy eyes like that was supposed to make the woman budge.

Well, in different situations, Rukiya could have let her be, but not in this one. There was more that they needed to work out and the longer Hawi postponed her grief and touch with reality, the longer it would take for her to cope with the loss.

"Baby," Rukiya said as she walked closer to Hawi, the distance between them so close that they could both breathe each other in.

Rukiya was fighting her desire to let Hawi continue what she had started earlier in the day, but she had to remind herself that this wasn't the time for her to have deep and dangerous desires for the woman.

But what if, right?

Well, Ruru had to keep her mind in check too, otherwise, they wouldn't solve shit… well, she would finally get what she wanted and even more in bed, but this wasn't the time for it.

"Can I?" Hawi whispered huskily as she stared at Ruru's full lips that were calling to her.

It was like they were waiting for her to capture them with her lips.

She wanted a taste, like a dying man wanted a drop of water. She wanted to run her tongue sensually on Rukiya's plump lips and goodness, she was feeling her desire for the woman intensifying.

"Can you what… baby?" Rukiya responded, her voice equally lower and huskier. The tension between them was increasing and if they weren't careful, they would be kicking their friends out of the room soon enough.

"I…" Hawi whispered as she traced her hand on Rukiya's face. Careful not to hurt her, but gentle enough to feel the sparks that were flying between them again. They reminded her of a love she had found in Greyson and she wanted to keep it.

"Will you let me…" Hawi asked softly as she leaned closer to Rukiya, their heads almost touching. It was a dangerous position for the moment and the people in the room had already started feeling like they were thrid-wheeling this coupe.

Maybe they could come back later, right?

Then again, none of them had the courage to get up and interrupt the moment the two were clearly having.

"Of course, my love," Rukiya said as she slammed her lips on Hawi's, claiming the woman's lips like this was the best thing that could ever happen to them.

It was.

But was it the right time?

Hawi didn't hesitate to return the kiss, even more fiercely, leaning into it, and letting herself get lost in the touch and feel of the woman she had sworn to love and protect. She loved it here. She loved being with Rukiya, and she didn't want to leave.

However, before they could both get engrossed in the kiss, Rukiya pulled away, their lips releasing a pop sound, making Hawi pout at her, clearly desiring more. She was high on Rukiya and wanted more.

She was desperate for more and she even let out a low warning growl.

It was one that Malika and Mbali knew so well, and they were already getting up to leave, but Rukiya raised her finger to stop them, while she was still staring into Hawi's beautiful eyes that were calling her in.

Malika and Mbali knew they didn't have a choice, so they went and sat back down. But that didn't even stop Hawi, as she leaned into Rukiya, once again, trying to reconnect their lips, but all she got was Rukiya's finger on her lips.

"I want more," Hawi whined and Rukiya looked at her tenderly, hoping that Hawi would be able to let her in. But then she had been around Awuor Hawi Sicario enough times to know that she wasn't going to open up just because of a kiss.

That was impossible in every way.

"I know. And I will give you more," Rukiya said, stroking Hawi's cheeks. She could see the hope in her woman's eyes, and she wanted to actually give in, but would that be wise for the both of them, especially right now?

"Mmh," Hawi nodded in response as she waited for the more that Rukya had promised.

"But first," Rukiya said gently, before adding with a commanding tone, "Sit your fucking ass down, baby. We have a meeting."

"Wh… B… You–" Hawi let out, clearly not expecting to be shut down like that, but Rukiya Greyson had made up her mind.

"Want me to help you to your seat?" Rukiya asked with a warning in her tone, and Hawi knew that this wasn't the time for her to want a kiss. But she would get it later.

She didn't care what happened at this goddamn meeting.

She was going to get that kiss, that much she was certain of.

"I'm sat," Hawi said with a pout as she sat next to Adolf who was still trying to process what the fuck had just happened. Maybe he would need a few business days to get his mind in order because that was intense.
