[SICARIO]
"You had better have a good reason for interrupting my time with my wife, Theo, or you will be the first dead body of the day," Alpha Jer said as he looked at his enforcer who was staring at him tiredly.
The man was panting and he looked like he had seen the devil himself. He looked like he couldn't take another moment of life and if his alpha didn't listen to him, he would choose to die in that instant.
Jer and Malika were currently at an arcade in a hotel outside of Sicario, a choice that Malika had given the elephant earlier. It seemed like a weird proposal, but the Alpha trusted his wife and trusted her instincts. He only wanted to make her happy.
The whole reason for the date was to make Malika feel better and right now, as they were playing in the arcade, it made sense that the Alpha was disappointed that They had made it to this point.
"Alpha... SHE's back and killing our people," Theo said and Jer scoffed before he realized what his enforcer had just said.
"Who the fuck is killing our people?" Jer asked, carefully as Malika looked at him with worried eyes like she didn't know what they were talking about.
"The Sicario heiress," Theo began before correcting himself.
"Awuor Hawi Sicario. She is back, and with the support of the impossible factions. She is in Sicario with an army of thousands of warriors who are tearing through our people like paper.
"We haven't been able to hold our defense and we need you both. We need you, please Alpha."
Jer looked at Theo, wondering what the man was high on.
However, the longer he looked at the warrior, the more he was sure that this man was being truthful with him. There was raw fear in his eyes, his hands were shaking, he looked disheveled like he had had a one-on-one with the devil himself.
Theo looked so scared it was worrying Jer. And the fact that he had come to where the Alpha was, meant that he had to have come on his own and couldn't send anyone. Perhaps this was an illusion?
"Slow down, Theo. Are you sure you saw Awuor Sicario?" Jer asked as he started to realize the magnitude of everything. It was all an illusion to him. The last time he had imagined Hawi was when he was back home and even on the day of Dom's wake.
He had sworn he saw her. Then again, the woman they had left in the rubble looked a lot like Hawi but he hadn't believed it perhaps this was just his subconscious playing games with him. But why now? Why at this moment?
"Go back, Theo. I am coming right after you. Go defend the borders and make sure they don't get in," Jer said and Theo looked at him like he had lost his mind. What the hell was this?
The alpha hadn't paid attention to him and frankly, Theo couldn't blame him. So many had been shocked at the realization that Hawi was alive; it wasn't something that occurred daily and that scared the living daylights out of them.
"She'll kill me. She'll kill me. She'll kill me," Malika rambled as she began pacing, making Her lose his mind. He knew he had pressing things to attend to but he couldn't leave, not when his mate was in this state.
"Baby—"
"They said she was vengeful and dangerous. That she wanted to burn Sicario. Now she is here and I am married to her husband. She will kill me. She will ruin me for you,'' Malika said and Jer roughly ran a hand through his hair.
He then grabbed Malika by the neck and slammed their lips together, instantly shutting her up. He kissed her, but he could smell her fear and it was messing with him. He loved her so much it was breaking him.
So, Jer made the only choice he could at the moment.
He knocked her unconscious and took her back to the hotel, booked a room for her for three months, with everything catered for then left her with his credit cards and everything that would keep her comfortable.
Then he left for Sicario.
"I'll kill her like I did her family," Jer swore under his breath as he left
Malika heard him.
So she just laughed at the Alpha.
No one could beat Hawi's rage.
No one, and he would find out soon.
"Hello, Mistress."
