[SICARIO]

All her life, Rukiya Greyson never knew calming down could be such a daunting task. After apologizing to Farida for the way she had fucked up her house, Ruru tried to fix it with magic, before she began her breathing lessons as by Hudhayfah.

She had tried and tried, but thirty minutes later, she was done trying, she hated failing and this was what it was for her. She looked at the people of Secor and she knew Hawi wouldn't have liked this so she tried again, only to fail.

Defeatedly, she walked to the pack house, to Hawi's chamber that had her scanned print reads. Only when she was locked in Hawi's chambers did the time move forward.

That was the only room that only Ruru and Hawi could open to allow others in, so the moment Ruru walked in and the door shut behind her so harshly, there was no knowing what the fuck had happened.

"What did we say about Mbali? She seems to think Mbali is missing and apparently the sailors are safe. What the fuck is going on, healer?" Elodie asked frustratedly as she looked at the door that had closed on them.

Her friends had so many questions and the only person with the answers was locked in that room, definitely by magic, it just made no sense whatsoever to her and she was certain she would go crazy.

She didn't understand why the fuck Rukiya and the others would be looking for Mbali, and if there was a chance that Mbali's time had been stopped like Ruru's earlier.

What if that was what was happening, but what were the chances that Ruru and Mbali shared the same fate? Oh, but this was not fair to them, not like they would ever be able to make things work any better for them.

"A lot is going on in this realm that's for sure. Let's wait and see what happens with Mbali. Maybe now that Rukiya is here, she might be awake, or we can start planning the funeral at the moment," Hudhayfah said, not sure what the fuck they needed to do.

He had lived so many lives and none of them had been this complicated and unsettling. Maybe it is because everything was happening that day and they didn't even have enough time to catch a break.

This was nothing close to the dream they had all had. Perhaps it was their chance at a betta really, but then, that was never supposed to go like this.

"How about Drew? He might know what is going on?" Elodie asked and Hudhayfah just shook his head.

"I talked to him yesterday and he doesn't understand anything happening. He said that all he did was follow instructions and everything was confusing as hell. He wasn't lying… I had magic to coerce him.

"We just need to keep on going like nothing is wrong and hopefully this will eventually make sense," Hudhayfah said.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Elodie stared in defeat.

She was supposed to be the alpha, one of the strongest wolves in the pack but now that she thought of everything has needed, she wanted to disappear.

Maybe she was a coward for thinking like that, but then it wasn't like anyone would ever come and console her or even make her understand the chaos and everything that was constantly happening to them.

They just had to hope, but for how long? And what were the chances that it would all pay off?

"Oh hey, there you are. Where did you go? The beds that fell from the sky are gone. Did we just hallucinate it all?" Theo interrupted, his words catching the attention of the trio. It was not usual for this to be happening, but they were in Sicario, right?

"I think we are hallucinating, all of us," Elodie said as she patted Theo gently on his shoulders, making the warrior wonder what the hell was going on. It was hard to explain but then everyone would need answers for him.

"It probably suits the Russels trying to throw things. Don't worry too much and tell the rest of the pack members that everything is okay and there is no reason for them to be alarmed," Hudhayfah added.

Theo just nodded while they walked out of the pack house.

While the team was trying to figure out what the hell was going on and make things better, Ruru was confused in Hawi's chambers.

Everything was not making sense to her, but the fact that everything in this room was calm as shit made her owner with this was the bed she had asked for. There was food on the table and it wasn't food for a long time.

There was still steam coming from the plate and food, so it was food that had been prepared a few moments ago. Ruru looked around, trying to see whether there was anything that could explain why the fuck she had been brought back to Sicario.

She thought it was not making sense and the confusion was not helping her one bit. This was not how she had imagined that things would go but then what else could she do.

"What are you up to, Hawi?" Ruru asked, looking around. Nothing was out of the ordinary here, and it made her wonder what the reason was for her to be here like this; it all didn't make any sense and frankly, it got her worried.

"Where are the answers, Hawi?" Ruru asked no one in particular right before she heard a squeak from under the bed.

The same bed that they shared with Hawi. It should have been creepy if she didn't know that under the bed was a dungeon filled with prisoners and everything insane on the face of the realm.

That is one hell of a dungeon and Ruru had never thought that she would ever go back there on her own.

It was complete and frankly, Ruru was scared on behalf of the prisoners there some of them had been there since the time Hawi had learned to talk and could hold her sword. It was a long time and yet they were still there for some reason.

Maybe they weren't the worst of the traitors, or maybe he just didn't want to take them out just yet. It was quite a daring move for a woman who believed in vengeance and not forgiveness.

Surely there had to be more to this, right?

"The hell is happening?" Ruru asked as she tried to push the bed and a note suddenly appeared on the bed.

'Eat first, before you do anything. Malika says you will hate me, but I truly hope you don't, and you understand why you had to go home. I love you more than life, my beautiful. With all my love, the mate you probably hate right now… please don't hate me.'

Ruru stared at the black piece of paper with golden writings and she sighed her mate was a dramatic piece of ash and she loved her even then. She was crazy, but they could explore their crazies together, a reality that got Ruru smiling like sheep.

"Fine… as you wish," Ruru muttered and the letter disappeared, before she sat and began eating. She had complained of hunger earlier and it was interesting to know that the love of her life was never so forgetful.

"The tunnel will open itself when you're done. Whatever I See there I truly hope you don't despise me. I love you, always. Hawi," another letter popped up and Ruru was curious to figure this out even more.

She had never imagined that this kinda shit would happen, so she hurriedly cleared the dishes and drank water. It was almost like she could feel Hawi's presence around her, comforting her and still making her have even more questions.

Hawi was far from home, and yet here in this room, she could feel her mate taking good care of her even when they were at war, and it was heartwarming and crazy at the same time, because of how it looked.

Ruru wondered what had forced Hawi's hand to this point and if there was a person that she needed to be protecting Hawi from. Maybe he was deported to find the faults or maybe Ruru was just worried for the love of her life.

They had gone through a lot and needed a break, so this was her attempt at imagining that things would be alright even when the fates had tried their patience more than once and succeeded. It wasn't the best motivation, but it was the cold truth.

"Let's see what's under here," Ruru whispered once she was done. She pushed the bed to reveal the entrance to the tunnels under Hawi's room. It was something that she had never gotten used to because it never made any sense to her.

However, right now, she felt like she needed to be there for Hawi's shake and for her to figure out whatever the fuck was going on down there. It wasn't easy and she had to hope and trust that all of this was worth something and that it wasn't her family again.

Ruru's oath to Hawi may have faded what they were omitted, but then it didn't make it any easier for her to sit by and watch people want to take the one thing that she loved with everything she had and didn't have.

This was the greatest gamble of all time, but she had to trust herself and Hawi right? Maybe that was why she willingly went into the tunnels that led to the dungeons, only that this tunnel led to a different dungeon.

When she opened the door to that particular dungeon, Ruru felt the breath get knocked out of her lungs.

"I always hoped you would find me," a familiar voice said and Ruru fell, unconscious.
