Chapter 112: Come With Me, Please

[GREYSON]

After her outburst with Malika, Hawi had gone silt in the arms of the woman she loved. It was almost like she was in her head, something that was so peaceful, and yet at the same time, it was more dangerous than hell itself.

Rukiya didn't know how to deal with this version of Hawi. She was always used to Hawi being chaotic, being the one on the battlefronts, being the one who instigated things, or being the rebellious one.

But for two weeks Ruru had be met with a mute version of Hawi. Sure, there had be times wh Rukiya wondered if Hawi ever sat still and not caused trouble, or ev jumped in front of the fire for once.

However, now that she was having that, she was worried for everyone.

On some nights, the skies would rumble and there would be lightning for a few hours on d, without any rain. On others, the sun would shine so harshly, that anyone would think that summer had really be determined to turn Greyson into a desert.

However, this wasn't just something that was felt by the Greyson pack alone. The whole realm had be going through it, and many thought that it was dark magic.

But was it?

"Here's her food alpha. I worry that she might not want to see anyone other than you," Sherry admitted dejectedly as she handed her alpha Hawi's food.

Most of the food that had be st to Hawi by anyone other than Rukiya, had always be returned untouched. It was like she didn't want to see anyone other than her mate and ev th, she didn't say a word.

"Yeah, I'll take that. Thanks. Has she gott out yet?" Rukiya asked, ev though she already knew the answer.

There were times she worked a Hawi, ev though she was met with a dejected blank face. It was emotionless all the time and that got Rukiya worried.

She was scared that her woman had shut down, and that wasn't exactly the best of things for her at the momt. She missed her mate.

She missed the rowdy and chaotic Hawi who always had mtal breakdowns. At least that Hawi was expressive.

"No, not yet. We only see her wh she gets out to see the sun but that is just it," Sherry admitted and Rukiya just sighed, before she nodded at Sherry hopefully, th walked with the food to her chambers.

"What?" Ruru asked.

"And I might need you to come with me... If it's not too much trouble," Hawi said after a long silce of staring at the food before her.

She looked like she had be thinking a lot about this ad now that she was finally airing her thoughts, Rukiya Greyson wondered which part of the world this was. It was so differt and she couldn't dy that it was easily the most unexpected of them all.

"Huh?" Rukiya voiced again, clearly not expecting that she would be offered a chance to go with her.

"It's not linked to the blood oath, don't worry. I... I just need you there with me, please," Hawi said, pleading in the d, and that got Rukiya curious. She felt like she was walking on eggshells a Hawi and she was worried she would ask the wrong questions again.

"Where are we going?"

"It's not dangerous.... I don't know how to do this. I have never done it before and every scario I have thought of, if I go alone, always ds up in disaster. I tried to think of other possibilities but that didn't make any sse.

"I know it sounds crazy what I am asking, but I can't do this alone, or with Malika because she is in Sicario. You're the only one I trust with this," Hawi said and Rukiya raised a curious brow at her.

This was new; completely new and the fact that Hawi trusted her ough to want her to tag along was something out of the ordinary. But that didn't answer Rukiya's ton of questions.

Of course, she knew that she would follow Hawi everywhere and anywhere, but a heads-up on where they would be going would really do her a lot of good.

Rukiya Greyson hated going on blind, but it seemed like with Hawi, everything was always going to be like a blind mission, but was it?

"Hawi—" Rukiya said swiftly as she looked at her woman, who was staring at her gtly like she was scared Rukiya would say no. Of course that was her expectation, so she spelled it out before Rukiya could ev voice it.

Maybe that was to make her feel better about the shit she was feeling, but what if?

"You can always say no. I don't mind. It's just that I don't want to put up any walls betwe us, and I promised not to just up and leave like that without telling you I was leaving," Hawi said and Rukiya sighed. This was going to be hell.

"Where are we going th.... Can you tell me that?" Rukiya asked gtly as she held Hawi's hands like she was worried Hawi would lock her out again. Oh, Ruru.

"Sicario. To my brother's funeral."
