The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[HAWI]

Rukiya Greyson had proven more than once that she was a menace and could be worse even as the trial went on. She was determined to make sure the love of her life got the justice she deserved.

She didn't mind that they could sit here all afternoon and Hawi wasn't even trying to stop her. Sicario had fucked her over once and she wasn't going to be the one to stand up for herself this time.

She would let things happen the way they wanted to. It didn't matter how long it took. Besides, it was more fun seeing everyone get rattled by the mere fact that there was someone who could actually be crazier than their alpha.

"Please tell your mate to stop strangling and scaring people. It's not going to make the outcome of the trial change," Asmodeus literally pleaded with Hawi and the woman asked him as if to tell him that this was what they all wanted.

It was interesting how quick they were to do so much in so little time, but then what else could Hawi do? What was she supposed to do for them to understand that nothing would ever be okay no matter what the outcome of this trial was

"Just because you asked nicely," Hawi said to a worried Asmodeus before she turned to Ruru.

"Let's get this over and done with, my beautiful, so we can have more time to ourselves," Hawi said and Rukiya let out a soft growl before she looked at Asmodeus in warning. All of this was just not pleasing her, but since her Hawi asked. She would comply.

"That actually sounds better than sitting here with this bunch of traitors," Rukiya said with a smile on her face as she held onto Hawi's hand, entwining their fingers like it was the only way to calm her down.

It was crazy for a moment there but at least they had each other, right?

"Great. Let's get this over with then," Jeremiah said and Rukiya simply glared at him, while she held her entwined hand with Hawi, just high enough for Jeremiah Warner to see her kissing those hands.

Goddess, she wanted to rub it in his face every chance she got.

This man didn't deserve her beautiful princess and she would prove it to the bastard who had fucked her over. She would make Sicario understand that her woman deserved to be loved too regardless of what happened in between.

"How do you plead?" a frustrated Asmodeus said after a long silence.

He was sure these kids were here to drive him crazy, and they found a pretty good job at it. It was more like Rukiya Greyson was determined to drive him nuts, but then potato potato, right?

"You people just never listen, do you?" the shapeshifter from earlier spoke as she walked back out, like this was the most boring thing she had done. As she got to the middle, she created a portal and went through it, leaving people shocked.

But Malika wasn't bothered, so the crazed Savasci knights weren't bothered by it either. Besides, if the shapeshifter was a threat, Malika would never have let her get that close to Hawi, right?

However, that also left the question of how the woman was that she just decided to make a quick stop at the trial, claim Hawi was innocent, and then leave after saying she was a shapeshifter.

That was a lot of dangerous information and yet she had divulged it all with ease. They didn't quite have the time to deal with a stranger who hadn't done them any harm or threatened them, so the trial had to continue regardless.

"I plead…" Hawi began, bringing the attention back to her and the trial. She could tell that everyone was holding their breaths, waiting for her to carelessly throw her life away like she had done the last time.

No matter what decision Hawi made today, Rukiya Greyson Wasn't ever going to leave, so Hawi wasn't worried, especially with their friends around. It was insane though, because this was the tensest of atmospheres and they had to still process justice.

Maybe dealing with Hawi and her crazies was supposed to be something like an accomplishment for the Sicario wolves because they were impossible to understand and deal with. Perhaps it would be easier along the way, right?

"I plead not guilty," Hawi said softly, her voice coming off in a whisper like this was the first time she was eating those words from her lips. She had been used to taking the brunt of everything, whether it was her fault or not.

She had always been the punching bag for most, but as she sat there with Ruru holding her hands protectively, and rubbing them gently as if to tell her that it was okay, Hawi knew that she was never going to be alone no matter what this yielded.

And that also meant that she didn't need to pretend anymore.

She had people who loved her and who would choose her even if the word was black and gray, and still show up for her. She had people in her corner and that was more than she could have imagined, especially from the last time.

"What?" Jer asked and it took every ounce of patience in Ruru not to smack his head or even respond with a snarky comment. It was like all of this was just some gateway for her to tell the world and show them how badly she wanted to fuck up Jeremiah Warner.

If they weren't careful, then Jeremiah Warner would be long dead by the end of this trial and Rukiya Greyson wouldn't regret it one bit. The man was an annoying piece of junk that belonged in the bin with other trash anyway, no?

"I, Alpha Awuor Hawi Sicario, plead not guilty to the murder of my mother and Luna, Eniola Sicario. And I hope the court fills in the blank spaces that should have long been filed before my banishment," Hawi said, her toe filed with respect.

Asmodeus looked at Rukiya as if to ask her whether she was okay with that.

Ruru wasn't even bothered because she knew everyone was trying to keep tabs on her as if the eye contact was supposed to tell Rukiya Greyson that chairs were to be sat on and that meetings were to be respected.

The woman didn't give a flying fuck about it before, and she wasn't about to start now.

"If you keep staring at me like that, Asmodeus, your life will be reduced to an unending sequence of agonizing torture, worse than what you are already going through at the moment. If I were you, I would look away," Ruru warned with a warm smile.

She had smiled a lot for the day and she was so close to losing her shit with all of those smiles. She was slowly realizing how fun it was to be at war than be at civilized meetings because what the fuck was even this anyway?

"I hope you have prepared your defense," Asmodeus said and Rukiya glared at him again. Damn, the woman was not letting the man rest but then she had to make sure that everything would be smooth, right?

"Of course. We are prepared. I shall plead the case for my client," Rukiya suddenly said and everyone groaned out in frustration while she smiled heartily at them.

This would be fun.
