Chapter 94: Desperate Times, Desperate Measures

[AWUOR]

'Slow down Hawi. If you keep going at that rate, you might get hurt,' Malika warned as she felt Hawi's heartbeats ringing in her head. She could feel the wind, and she could sense that Hawi was going at an abnormal speed.

Something wasn't right this time.

Malika couldn't hear Hawi's voice, or even communicate with her. Instead, the only thing she could feel was anger, and a great desire to unwind. It was almost unusual.

Sure, Hawi never liked it when people threatened those that meant the world to her, but this right here was different.

It was almost like Awuor Hawi was channeling the environment around her, the bustling winds and the energy from the sun that was finally high up.

She was at her peak and yet at her weakest however strong she was.

Ten minutes later, Malika was done struggling to try and keep up with Hawi.

She may have been in Sicario, but her only responsibility was Awuor Hawi, which was also why, when she walked out of the pack meeting, the very important meeting that needed the Sicario Luna, Malika had made her choice.

She was going to go after her assigned white wolf and anyone who tried to stop her, would meet the wrath of the deadliest protector to ever live since the beginning of the white-wolf-protector project.

"Malika? Are you okay?" Jer asked, following his wife outside.

He had grown to like the woman. Sure, they were just married on paper and were waiting for the time to come when they would eventually fall in love, but there was something about Malika that got Jer pulled toward her.

It was only sad that Malika didn't give two shits about the bastard alpha that had ruined her mistress.

"I'm not feeling too well. Can I please be excused, alpha?" Malika requested, her patience growing thinner with every assumption that Jeremiah was making she wanted to knock him out and get on with her mission, but she also knew that it would cost her her cover.

She had never wanted to get justice for someone so bad, like she wanted for Hawi, which is why as she sniffed around and caught a different scent, Malika pretended like she didn't sniff anything.

If the person was an intruder, she would deal with them later.

But until then, she had to find her mistress.

"Mistress!! Please let me know where you are!" Malika shouted in the woods, as she struggled to sniff through the thick woody scents.

Such were the times she hated the woods, but she had to focus. So she tried, helplessly calling out for the woman she would always serve even when the worlds were apart. She wanted Hawi back and that was all that mattered.

"Mistress please!" Malika shouted her voice so strong that Elodie who was following her from a distance felt like she had been played. Of course, they all had. There was never a protector who was weak, ever.

"Goddess, where the fuck are you?" Malika cried out but then she instantly stopped, a smile on her face as she walked deep into the woods. She had finally gotten a whiff of Hawi's beautiful scent.

It was a distinct one.

Sure, the mate bond would reveal a whole new scent when Hawi and Ruiya mated, but until then her regular woody scent was always going to be potent.

"Are you hurt?" Malika asked, gently, once when was sure that there was no point in her shouting anymore. She could feel that Hawi was calm and yet for some reason, that didn't give her any comfort. She had to see her mistress for herself.

'Run, whoever you are, run,' Malika said to herself as she thought of the person who was tailing her.

Chances were that the person wanted them dead and frankly, it was a stupid idea, because the protectors were immortal and so were the white wolves. They are dangerous and given Malik and Hawi's personalities, they were the kind that weren't to be messed with.

Oh, but this was a dangerous mission for Elodie, but then again, Elodie Kane was a woman who wanted to know why the fuck Malika was in Sicario playing pretend-weak luna when she was clearly oozing so much power once she had gone through the portal.

"I finally found you! Goodness woman, I guess you were hungry," Malika said when she saw the sight before her. However, before Hawi could say anything, Elodie spoke, getting a very naked Hawi's attention.

"Malyshka? You're alive?"
