Chapter 60: Her Ferocious Love

[AWUOR]

The rains went on for the whole evening and night, and even by morning, it seemed like it wouldn't stop.

Rukiya was angry and anxious because she was left with just a day before she would have to send the Sicario wolves back. Failure to do that would trigger another war and it was never a pretty sight when two of the most powerful packs went to war.

So many lives would be lost and more than anything, there would be destruction all over, Because they were both powerful and had the resources to keep the war going even for five years without a break.

That was a lot of damage to a society that wanted peace and advocated for it on a daily basis.

"These rains aren't stopping," Rukiya said when she could see that it was almost noon and there were still drizzles.

She wondered how long the rains would last. She wanted to get this blood oath over and done with, so she could get her answers on Hawi's whereabouts. It was a strange dedication, but Adolf and Hudhayfah had given up trying to talk her out of it.

They knew Rukiya would always get what she wanted and maybe if they helped her find Hawi, she would be reminded that she wasn't entitled to everything.

But was Rukiya Greyson looking for Hawi because of a feeling of entitlement or was she doing this because she wanted something else from the alpha of alphas?

Was it because she wanted to learn more about Hawi and interact with her or was it because she wanted to use Hawi to overthrow Jer?

There were so many questions, but only Rukiya Greyson knew the answers to those, maybe it would all be fine, right? She was determined to find Hawi and she was willing to gamble with her whole pack. It was dangerous but then what else could she do anyway?

"They have slowed down. I bet by tomorrow they will be gone," Malik said softly as she looked at the distraught Rukiya, almost like she, Malika, wasn't the reason the rains had begun in the first place.

Hawi needed to be safe from everything that could harm her and if Rukiya was one of them the Malika would be ready for the next stage. Elimination.

"You stupid girl. Why would you poke your nose into things that don't concern you?" Hawi suddenly said as she grabbed Malika by the hair. It looked painful but it was it? If anything Hawi wasn't even pulling Malika's hair.

She was just holding onto them but anyone who looked at the two of them could see Malika in pain, which she was not in.

"Jeez you old woman, you really like making my life hard. Why the fuck wouldn't I be curious? It's not every day that anyone makes a blood oath, though I hope you make the blood oath to never hit me.

"Or I promise I'll just leave your ass on the way home and tell father that you were eaten by wild animals. Now please leave my hair, you," Malika said disappointedly as she tried to break free of Hawi's grip and expectedly, she couldn't.

"Apologize to them, and be quick about it," Hawi insisted, knowing that Rukiya was about to play right into their hands. She could see the worry on Rukiya's face and her empathy towards Malika. Maybe Malika and Hawi were wrong for that but when they needed the answers.

"It's okay nana. She didn't ask the wrong question. Even my people are wondering why I want to seek the woman out so badly. She's right. Alpha Awuor is dangerous, and kind-hearted at the same time.

"She's crazy and yet understanding, she's full of hate but that's what she wants people to see in her. She worries a lot for people, she loves without thinking of the consequences, and she's Selfless.

"The blood oath has to be the craziest thing I have ever even considered but I will do it for her and only her," Rukiya began and the shelter went dead silent, with Hawi staring at Rukiya like the woman had lost a few brain cells in her head.

What the fuck was she even thinking? This woman was nuts and honestly, that scared Hawi. The determination on her face was telling Hawi something different but she had to be patient and hear what Rukiya would say anyway.

"But yeah, I won't hesitate to do this for her, because she's mine... She's mine to protect and be insane with. We're probably not even mates given she was just rejected by her mate, but for her, I would do whatever it takes—

"—Because she's always been mine from the onset, my ferocious love," Rukiya said thoughtfully like she wasn't even listening to anyone anymore, and maybe they could have bought into her fantasies if only Hawi hadn't spoken in her real voice and not the nana voice she'd been using.

Oh, Hawi.

"Bitch, I'm your what now?"
