The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[HAWI]

"I see… I didn't introduce myself well. Anyway, my name is not a little girl. I'm Malika," the protector said as she looked into Nik's eyes as if warning him, but instead, the man didn't even seem moved.

If anything, he just scoffed before taking a swing at Malika.

Hawi and Ruru who were watching in the distance shifted from being worried about the humans, to being excited to see how this would turn out. However, this Nik had just signed his warrant to either be a cripple or food for Malika.

It was either of these especially when he took a swing and Malika and Malia didn't miss. It was almost like she had been waiting for this for a while. Then again, being who she was in the supernatural realm meant that everyone ran off the roads she walked.

She was the myth that scared even the elders.

Jabali Malika was a pain in many people's asses if she wanted to and she was the finger that no one wanted to be around because any moment, she would be twisting necks for fun just to wake them up and breathe life into me.

Their lives were a joke to her and his Nik had just dared to fuck up her face.

"You think you're strong, eh?" Nik said to Malika when he realized that she didn't even move when his fist punched her face.

Normally when he hit people, their bodies leaned to the side. But right now, the little girl, as he had called Malika, was just staring at him with bored eyes to ask him if he was done.

"Is that all you got? For someone with so much audacity, you punch like a little boy who just learned to hold a spoon," Malika said and the crowd oohed in the shop.

They had a feeling that Malika wouldn't let Nik come at them again and they were safe to make commentaries. And boy were they crazed commentaries that were driving Nik insane.

He hadn't ever met a brazen lot like this one, and the lass before him was not even scared of him. He was someone that needed to be feared and yet to Malika, he looked like a kid with mommy issues.

This was not the kind of reputation that a man like Nik would have wanted, but well, here he is, wasn't she?

"You little shit," Nik said as he grabbed Malika by the neck and began lifting her up, only for his body to tilt.

Malika was just staring at him, the same bored face while everyone in the shop had gone from commentaries to staring at Malika like she was their superhero. She had saved them, sure but was that what he wanted to be called?

"What are you?' Nik asked when he found himself with both of his hands still on Malika's neck, while his huge body was positioned horizontally before Malika. He looked like the wind was swatting him, despite the fact that he looked heavy as fuck.

Then again, Malika had warned him not to try shit with her, right? The humans stared in awe as the man struggled to get off of Malika and there was nothing that he could do. He was a menace to them and now he found a match for him.

"Me? I'm just a girl… a little girl," Malika said with a scoff as she looked at Nik and his legs began folding, his bones crunching in the process. He looked like there was a force pushing his bones into his body and that scared the hell out of him.

He was in so much pain so he cried out, and cursed her, but there was nothing.

"See, here's the thing Nik. When you walk into a community, you just decide to screw their things up because you think you have more power over them. You are supposed to be humane and let things happen like they should;

"... Instead of being a menace to everyone. Think of the medical bills waiting for them once they get out of there. Think of the energy they will use to fix this place up. Think of the time they will need to process all of this.

"Think of the officers going back home to their families, hurt because some asshole decided to be a menace who wanted to show how powerful he was. Are you thinking, or am I just telling a story that you're struggling to listen to?

"Are we understanding each other?" Malika asked Nik even as his legs were squished even more. He was in a terrible shape by the time he managed to respond to Malika.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry," Nik cried out, and the humans stared at him, not sure if the apology was meant for Malika or for them/ whichever way, none of them was brave enough to ask that question, so they just stared.

"Am I really the one you should be apologizing to?" Malika asked as she released his hands from her neck, and walked around him, even inspecting his pockets as he hung so high in the air. He looked like a menace even then and Malika was pissed.

"I'll apologize to them. Please make it stop," Nik begged and Malika pretended like she didn't even hear him. It was like this was just another session for her. She was checking his pockets and she found some money, and a wallet on the side.

"Instead of saying what you will do, how about you apologize genuinely to them? All of this will automatically stop if you apologize to them genuinely, and like you mean it will all of you.

"If anything, your legs will go back to what they were earlier," Malika said and Nik stared at her hopefully before he started apologizing profusely. It was not hard to tell he was trying so hard to be genuine, but then there was only one problem with that.

Malika didn't feel like releasing him.

She was using him to teach the rowdy little shits a lesson and this would go a long way.

"I don't think they can hear you over the sound of the rail tracks," Malika said right as a train passed by and Nik felt like he was about to be reduced into a sausage. He was losing his mind, his body and at the same time, he still had no idea what Malika was.

And that scared him even more.

"I'm sorry. I won't do it again. I'll clean up this place. I'll buy them more supplies. I'll pay for their medical bills. I'll do whatever is needed and offer even the passersby money for their mental compensation.

"Just please, make it stop. I mean it with all of me. Please, Malika. Please make it stop." Nik begged and Malika just scoffed again.

She was having a lot of fun with this man and it was even more than obvious that if she wasn't in the human lands, she would have crushed the man to bits and not even felt any ounce of remorse for him.

"Alright. Alright. I think they accepted your apology because your body is reforming. You shouldn't be mean to other people alright? My Nana is a witch and she said that bad things happen to bad people.

"If I were you, I wouldn't hurt people even more, Nik Russel," Malika said, patting him so hard that he fell to the ground with a loud thump. Oh, he definitely broke more bones, not that Malika cared.
