[AWUOR]
"Are you crying? For a man you were sent to retrieve? You must be crazy," Jer said casually as he pretended like he wasn't affected by what he was seeing. But he was, and Hawi could hear his heartbeats beating so loudly in his head.
"I can smell your fear, Jeremiah Warner," Hawi said as she made steps towards them, the tears from her eyes clouding her sight, but she knew that there was only one thing she wanted right now.
Vengeance.
"Ajuoga, do something!!" Dom said when he realized how dire the situation was.
Things were getting a little out of hand and he hadn't expected this. Well, he hadn't expected a whole lot of things and more specifically his sister's doppelganger showing up was definitely on top of the list of the unexpected.
Whatever was happening, Dom knew he was fucked and he needed to think of a way out. And the warlock with them was definitely it for them, or their doom. It all just depended on whatever the hell they would do and how fast they were. NovelFire-the-story-platform
"She can't beat me, BROTHER. She can never beat me, because no one has ever defeated me. No one. A seat at the table, or I kill you and take the entire table for myself. Decide fast," Hawi said as she glared at them.
She knew she sounded obsessed with whatever that table was, but it was the only way for her to get into the specifics of the horrors that had happened in Sicario on the night she found her claws retracting from her mother's neck.
It wasn't something easy for her, but then losing her father right in front of her, had been the last straw for the Alpha who tried to lead a normal life in exile.
"You're crazy, woman. You're even blending into my sister's identity? Oh, you're crazy, really crazy," Dom said and Hawi chuckled darkly. Her brother hadn't seen whatever she was about to do yet, and he was already fretting. What a coward.
"Stop being this reckless, woman," Jer said as he looked at the woman before them.
Hawi had blasted some of the ice particles tinier so they were breathing it.
With her magic, she was protected, but as for the trio here, no matter what their answer was, the particles that contained her father's blood and pain would be in their system and she would make sure to ruin their lives slowly.
"Nooo!!!" the warlock screamed as she watched the portal she created disappear and even burn her hands in the process.
She had been betrayed by the same people she had betrayed Hawi for.
Hawi, who was watching the whole thing, just let out a dark chuckle as the warlock's eyes widened. The poor woman knew she was down for and knew that no matter what would happen, she wasn't going to come out of this alive.
The dice had been cast and the two friends had cast her aside, south gigs that weren't even surprising to Hawi.
"It's just you and me, now, Nana," Hawi said as the ground shook.
The woman before her was their house warlock, a woman her mother had trusted and loved like a sister.
Ajuoga had been one of the key advisors on Luna Eniola's team.
She had been treated and given power, yet as it was, she had betrayed Hawi and the house Sicari, for people who wouldn't even have her back when the battle came to. It was like she had been wasted and nothing she did would ever change that.
Then again, Hawi was not going to think of that.
The only thing she saw when she looked at the woman before her, was the audacity the bitch had to betray the one woman who was also way pure at heart, a woman who had spread nothing but love and light in the entire Sicario.
Thinking of her mother made Hawi want to kill this woman quickly and easily, but would she grant Ajuoga that mercy? Or any mercy for that matter?
"What?" Ajuoga asked and Hawi just laughed angrily, before she directed all the blades towards the woman, making sure to stab her with as many as possible.
She used so much force that he could see the woman's blood sputtering, but Hawi didn't care about that.
"Oh, you're not going to die from this, Nana. Not yet."
