Chapter 210: Let Me, Love, Please
"She is deteriorating and it's just the first day."
"Her daughter was her lifeline, and now she is gone."
"I hope she doesn't turn out like the former alpha Greyson."
"She is severely depressed, damn."
The whispers were loud in Razia's ears and they were fucking with her mind. She wanted to tell them that she was okay and that she hadn't been suicidal, but the crazy psycho white wolf had forced her into this state.
The only reaction she had when people passed her in the hallway was a soft defeated stare. She really looked like she was frustrated and worried about her plans. Their plans. The plans of the seven.
If they knew that she was out of it, they would replace her and that scared the living daylights out of her. Perhaps she could try getting out of this, right?
'I can free myself,' Razia thought to herself as she tried every spell she ever knew and none of it worked. If anything, it just made her feel worse because she looked like a maniac trying to stop herself from not slicing her other arm.
It Was a wild sight and eventually, the warriors and her people began avoiding her. She looked like she had already lost her mind and would be changing people with the blade she had in her hands.
Sure, her blood had dried on the floor, making it even a miracle that she had survived the intense blood loss. Razia was weak and she had Hawi to thank for that.
'That crazy bitch,' Razia said, cruising Hawi as if that would get her free of the chains.
Outside the pack house, the warriors were sad about their alpha.
They had received word from Adolf that Hawi had taken the alpha and was with her in her chambers. Hawi had told them that she would try and save their alpha even if it was the last thing she did with her life.
The Greysons knew she was the white wolf, so they spent their days playing at the shrine and wishing the goddess that their alpha would be able to heal and that the white wolf would succeed.
They never once asked Razia about Hawi because they thought that Hawi was just like any other mate, and would be preoccupied with trying to get her mate back to them. It was a long shot, for the Greyson warriors, while for Hawi it was just a time for her to rest.
When she had cast the spell on Rukiya, she had made sure to add a sleeping spell into it, which made the Greyson alpha sleep her brains out. She was so out of touch with the world that when Rukiya woke up five days later, she couldn't think of sleeping again.
If anything, she had so many questions about what had happened especially when she woke up and released Razia Greyson was still in the same state she had been in for the past few days.
"Why the fuck does she look like that?" Rukiya whisper-yelled at Hawi who was staring at her with a smirk on her face. She had just shown Ruru a vision of what her mother looked like and Ruru wasn't sure the world was a better place anymore.
"She tried to fucking kill you. She's lucky I love you so much, or I swear to the goddess I would have snuffed the life out of her and made her eat her shit," Hawi said as she plopped on the bed beside a shocked Rukiya.
Of course, Ruru was worried for her mother, despite everything that the woman had done, but on the other hand she was worried for Hawi. She had seen Hawi at her worst and she could tell that this had easily been the hardest thing for the white wolf.
"Hawi… I'm fine. But you don't look fine. Have you been sleeping well?" Rukiya asked and Hawi stared at her incredulously. Like she had forgotten the state they were in, but then the Greyson alpha wasn't going to take a no for an answer.
"I'm fine—"
"Don't lie to me, sweetheart," Rukiya said sternly, the warning in her voice as she sat up beside her psycho mate.
"Well—"
"Hawi," Rukiya glared at her mate.
"I can't help thinking of what your mother will do now that she knows you're alive. I may have given her just a taste of her medicine, but then it would agitate her even more and try to kill you again. It pisses me off and makes me want to kill her, but I can't let you go through that pain.
"I don't want to live in a world without you, Ruru," Hawi whispered frustratedly while Rukiya stared at her softly and with so much love.
"Oh baby… You've been doing well so far sweetheart. How about you let me take over this time, huh? Let me take care of you," Rukiya said as she pulled Hawi into her, laying the wolf on her lap like she was scared Hawi would break.
"It's a lot to handle, Ruru. It's too much given that your mother is directly involved. I don't need you getting hurt," Hawi voiced meekly. She loved being here with Ruru, in their own little world, a world in which there was no one else, but just them.
But Hawi also knew that people wouldn't stop coming after her. Sure, she had made up her mind that she would stay with Rukiya as long as Ruru needed her, but she didn't beat her to suffer because of Hawi.
It was something that Hawi was determined to avoid, so much so that Hawi was forgetting that her mate was also one of the strongest wolves in the realm. Rukiya Greyson ranked second to Hawi alone, and that went a long way to show how powerful she was, and Hawi knew that.
"And I don't want you shouldering everything. Get some rest sweetheart, I'll be taking care of you from now on. And don't worry about me, I have our little team to help," Rukiya said and Hawi let out a sigh of relief.
She was tired and she was glad she didn't have to pretend with Rukiya. Maybe that was why she wanted to protect the one woman who would understand her best, right?
"Promise me you'll be okay. I don't mind having blood on my hands for you," Hawi said.
Rukiya smiled at her mate, pinching her cheeks as if to remind her of what they had just talked about. Then again, Hawi couldn't be blamed. She had grown used to being the one everyone relied on and having someone to rely on occasionally felt strange, even with her friends.
"I will be okay. I have you, remember?" Rukiya said, making Hawi smile at her.
"Okay," Hawi said, giving in.
"Perfect. Sherry will be here with food, and make sure you eat. If you need me, I'll be in my study," Rukiya said warmly.
"Even if I want a kiss?"
"Anything you want, baby. Nothing, I will give it to you," Rukiya said as she gently kissed the barbaric psycho on her bed.
