Chapter 18: I Don't Have Time For Cap

[RUKIYA]

"Wake her up," Rukiya said to Adolf who just looked at her.

They had agreed to get their answers, but then him poking the woman who most likely hated her, was like a death sentence. However, Rukiya was relentless and Adolf eventually had to poke Awuor with the stick he had been holding onto for the past hour.

They didn't have time to be welcoming to a possible hostile to their home, but then again, wasn't it Rukiya who had told them to get this psychotic woman into their home?

"Ayo, get up," Adolf said as he poked Awuor again, and Awuor instantly got up, her claws and fangs ready to dip themselves into anyone who was trying to hurt her. However, when she saw where she was, she let out a frustrated sigh.

"So once again it's you, the beta without brains. Great. Now are you people going to tell me why I'm here or are you hoping I'd tell you who I am and what I want? Well, I'll make it simple for you. I'm a woman and I don't need anything from you.

"If you please, hand over my banana leaves and I'mma be on my way, alright," Awuor said as she sat up, and stared at Rukiya who was blankly staring at her. Awuor knew they had questions and she knew that she had turned before them yesterday.

As much as Awuor wanted to regret what had happened, it had already happened and no matter how many times she would beat herself over her slip up, there was no erasing it from their memories. Which was also why she was going to face everything head-on.

"Are you hungry?" Alpha Rukiya asked Awuor and the alpha had had enough of it.

"Seriously? Am I hungry? How about you answer my damn questions, huh? What the hell do you want with me?" Awuor said to Rukiya who was just smirking at her.

This woman was fierce, and Rukiya liked that about her. She was already imagining what it would feel like, going to war with Awuor by her side.

"My mother, you say. Luna Eniola, no? A message from her?" Awuor asked quietly as she got up and stalked towards Rukiya who wasn't even making a move to step away from the obviously irritated alpha wolf.

The warriors at the door were waiting to strike her down in case this woman tried anything with their alpha, and Adolf was in his beta mode. Sherry looked like she was ready to cook Awuor's organs and feed them to the ferals if she so much as touched a hair on their alpha's head.

They were ready to go to war for Rukiya and Awuor knew that, but she didn't care, not even once.

"Tell me something, Rukiya," Awuor said when she closed in on Rukiya, trailing her fingers on Rukiya's hair and trailing her fingers around one strand of the Greyson alpha's hair. She was looking straight into Rukiya's eyes, a smirk on her face, while Rukiya was staring at her with a bored face.

The Greyson alpha was the alpha that couldn't be easily threatened, just like the alpha Awuor. Here and now they were equals, only that one of them was raging with anger.

"Did my mother dearest send you a message from the grave where I buried her?" Awuor asked angrily, her voice booming and making the warriors worry for their alpha, who by the way, was still standing in front of Awuor, the same bored face on.

"See, the thing is, I killed her when no one was watching. I clawed her neck apart and popped out her trachea. Then I used the alpha code and buried her on the same day I was banished. I was there, I did everything, but mother dearest didn't even give me a message.

"So how the fuck do you have a message from mother dearest, Rukiya?" Awuor asked again, her temper calming down. She hated what had happened to her mother and the loss still hurt like it had happened yesterday.

The fact that she would ever see her mother's happy face, haunted her more than anything else, and she wanted to forget. She wanted to live in a world where her mother was, but then she couldn't.

Her mother was gone and nothing she did was going to get her back. But everyone seemed to want to remind her that she was the spoilt fruit in Sicario.

She had taken something that had too much value, something that she cared about more than even herself, and now, what was she even supposed to do without her mother? Fuck, she felt like she was going nuts.
