The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

Oh, but this was the most beautiful sight that Hawi had ever seen.

"Sh… She didn't scream… She never had the chance to," Razia said and Hawi roughly pulled out her claws from Razia's insides, ignoring the blood she was losing like it didn't matter at all.

Hawi didn't care what happened to Razia, and the more she knew about what had happened that day, the more Hawi was sure mercy was for the weak. They hadn't shown her innocent mother any mercy and she wouldn't show them either.

Staring at a faint Razia, Hawi was disgusted, to say the least. She hated the fact that this woman was a traitor in so many ways that it was impossible to even understand whether there was any genuine interaction whenever Razia was involved.

This woman was poisonous and she was the kind that Hawi wanted to rid herself of.

There wasn't a thing in the world that would stop her but until then, she had to see for herself if the woman who had been so good at playing the good mother was this cruel. Surely there had to be another explanation for the mess, right?

"Why… why did you do it?" Hawi asked as she punched Razia in the face with her bloodied claws. She wasn't worried that she would hurt herself in the process. Pain was something Hawi had always gotten used to.

Whatever she was feeling here was no match to the pain she had held back for the past four years. A lot of time had passed and yet the emptiness had remained just the same. She wished for so many things, but today she wanted vengeance.

She couldn't understand Razia. How the fuck could someone be that fucked up just because of a notion that she couldn't trust? Was that really all there was to this? Then again, if Eniola had been down and Hawi wasn't ruined, what was the main aim?

Hawi knew there had to be more than just her mother being available like Razia had said to her. It couldn't be the only reason. Maybe Hawi was in denial because people betrayed their friends and families for far less.

Even then, it wasn't comforting to know that this woman was behind it all. So many things were not adding up and the sooner she got her answers, the sooner she would be able to get this done.

"I already told you… what else do you want to what to soothe your ego, huh?" Razia asked angrily and Hawi stared at the bowman disbelievingly. Either she had a high pain tolerance, or this woman was nuts.

She was bleeding and still she had the guts to talk shit to Hawi? Well, maybe she needed a therapist, but then would she even survive this? Razia had to be high on something. It was the only possible explanation at the moment.

"Well then, you can hug your silence till the end, oh yeah?" Hawi said as she grabbed one of the protruding ribs and broke a bone, only to stab Razia with it, so close to the heart like it was the most normal of things.

Malika wasn't sure where they were headed but she could tell that Razia was in so much pain and needed a break. However, Hawi was also missed and was more than ready to put an end to the woman. But was that it or was Hawi loving the torture she was putting Razia through?

"You little—" Razia began, as blood seeped from her mouth. She was a mess and an apathetic one in every way, however even then, she was determined to piss Hawi off even more.

She knew what buttons to press and Hawi was doing just that. The fact that even to this point Razia was keeping her silence was appealing to Hawi. What the fuck was in it for the woman to endure this much pain?

Hawi knew she had been in pain more than once, but the kind that she was inflicting on Razia was worse than even when the Lycans had beaten her to a plump at her own request, however unhinged that was.

Losing a rib was not easy, and having it poke so closely to the heart was enough to get someone's soul out of their body and on the way to the afterlife. It was that crazy but Razia was holding on for some reason.

"Maybe this will refresh your memory,'' Hawi said as she grabbed one of the fluoroantimonic acid-coated silver bars and stabbed Razia with it in the thigh through and through, making the woman scream out, again.

Her screams were filled with pain, but Hawi was just standing there licking her hands that were covered in Razia's blood like she was some cannibal. She was insane for his rally and even Malika got up and took a step back.

She wasn't sure there was any more space left for her before she would hit the wall, but goodness, Malika hadn't ever seen someone this bonkers. Each day, she realized that there was a new level of crazy to be unlocked in Hawi and it was frightening worse than hell.

This wasn't how the girl was supposed to be, but the pain… oh pain. Pain could turn even the most beautiful of hearts into a shell of who they once were. That was what was happening here right now.

And the fact that Rukiya Greyson wasn't close enough to remind Hawi of what it meant to be humane was crazy. This was why the white wolf needed a mate, but then Razia had to just try and mess everything up.

"Mistress—" Malika began but Hawi didn't even pay any attention to her, it was almost like the only thing Awuor Hawi wanted was to see Razia Greyson suffer. She loved seeing the woman so curled up like that, while her insides were burning with acid.

Well to be fair, Hawi was brimming with rage too, so that was equal, right? But would it make it all any better when the hearts were being shattered like that? And what of Hawi's heart? Was there anything left in there besides rage and revenge?

"Don't tell me you feel terrible for her. She said Mother was silent. Do you even know what that means? There's a chance my sweet mother got to see the face of her best friend, as they ripped her apart.

"It had to be the worst of her heart breaks, seeing her daughter unconscious while she was there, drying slowly. That hurts more than anything this woman could have ever done.

"She should have come after me, but then she was too much of a coward to do it, and now, I don't have no one. Everything I loved and had dear is gone. I won't see her smile again, I won't see my beautiful mother happy again.

"And it's this damned woman's fault!!!" Hawi growled out in anger as she clawed Razia's neck just like her mother had been. Only that her clawing didn't kill Razia.

"Make sure she doesn't die, and make sure she feels all that pain," Hawi said as she walked out of the dungeon and headed back up to her suite.
