[SICARIO]
"Hawi is—" Mbali began before the ground rumbled, interrupting her.
And then she knew that it was trouble.
"What the fuck was that?" Rukiya asked and Mbali looked at her worriedly.
"Please tell me you know where Malika is, Rukiya. The fate of everyone depends on her," Mbali said and the chaos began. The rumbling was not slowing down. If anything, it was like the whole of Sicario and the neighboring lands were shaking.
Rukiya looked at Mbali, the desperation on the Lycan woman's face making her wonder if this had to do with what Hawi had supposedly gone to do.
For a moment, Rukiya assumed that her mate had found what she had gone looking for, but then if that was the case, the rumbles wouldn't have happened. There was just no knowing whether it was a case of Hawi being Hawi, or something happened.
"Come with me, let's find her," Rukiya said to Mbali as they walked towards the Sicario gates.
The warriors were confused, but then as Rukiya and Mbali reached the gates, the warriors didn't stop them. If anything, they walked right in, because they would need all the help there was if there was something here.
"Alpha—" Adolf began, worried about his Alpha.
He knew that this was a risky moment, but would Rukiya listen to him and wait outside like the others? Would she give up on her desire to see Hawi, for the sake of her mother who was expecting her daughter back in Greyson?
"Not now, Adolf. Prepare the army. If I need you I'll call you. Make sure my people aren't worried because that would make them more antsy. We don't want a war, at least not today of all the days," Rukiya and Adolf just nodded in slow acceptance.
"Yes alpha," Aldolf said as he watched his alpha rush back into Sicario. He wasn't sure what was happening, but seeing Mbali there and worried, reminded him that there was only one person that Jabali Lihle would show up for.
Awuor Hawi Sicario.
"Maybe I should just kill you then for her to be level-headed. That is what you both want, right?" Mbali asked and she grabbed one of her round blades and put it a little too close to Elodie's neck.
If she moved her hand a little, then the blade would slice the warrior's neck. That was something that both knew. However, Mbali didn't care. She had despised Elodie for making Hawi's life harder and she wished nothing other than pure horror on her.
"I'm done, let's go," Malika said when she was done changing. She wasn't bothered by Mbali showing up here.
Hell, she had made her decision a long time ago. And she wasn't going to be there when Hawi died, because she was going to make sure that she would stand up for the woman. While Mbali was threatening Elodie, Malika had been changing. Discover tales on mvle-mp _y,r.
"What?" Mbali and Elodie said as they looked at the woman who was in her full rotator gear. Hell, even Mbali had only seen the uniform on the other protectors, but all of that was in the books.
However, right now, Malika looked so different. She was nothing till the Malika they knew both in Sicario and even outside. She looked like the warrior protector she had always been.
"Whoever is coming with me should hurry. But I must warn you. It's not going to be easy and we might die down there. So, you can either stare at each other and make threats or come with me and find the woman we all care about," Malika said.
Elodie stared at her like the woman was bonkers. She was supposed to be in here, with them. She was supposed to be protecting her. There were many guards at the door, so what the fuck was even this?
"You do realize that this is crazy, right?" Elodie said and Malika rushed to her.
"Look, Ella. I'm going after Hawi whether your army of mortal wolves come after me or not. If they try to stop me, I will kill them. You should already know that by now. Do what you used to make them believe that I am still here.
"I don't care how you do it, but Hawi needs me. So, you are going to be here playing whatever the fuck you want to. I don't care what the outcome is.
"What I care about is the woman Sicario has betrayed more than thrice," Malika said as she looked into the eyes of the woman she loved.
This wasn't the term for romance and she was simply going to ignore the way Elodie was looking at her. She needed to be focused and the only way to do that was to make sure that her woman knew what was at stake.
"Fine go. I'll take care of things here. And Malika, please save her, even if you have to save her from herself," Elodie said and Malika nodded right here Mbali created a portal that took them to where the greatest impact was.
Perhaps they would find answers there, right?
