[JER]
"I see you're here to laugh at me. Excuse me while I try to figure out how to get out of here and save my people," Jer said to the warlock.
"If I help you out, what do I get in return?" the warlock asked and he stared at her disbelievingly.
"Whatever you want, but you must not touch Malika. If anything, you must protect my Luna, only then can we have a deal. We both know how strange and demanding your requests can be, especially since the last one got me killing Eniola," Jer said.
The warlock just laughed at him. She was doing that a lot and Jer was getting irritated. However, he couldn't exactly let the woman know because she had the power to get him out of here and save a few of his people. That was the only thing in Jer's mind.
"You were sloppy with that job, and it got many people named. SHE shouldn't have been implicated, because she could have been our ally, but you fucked up. If you fuck up this time I will kill your precious Malika," the woman said and Jer growled at her.
This warlock really didn't understand what he was saying, right?
Perhaps he needed to punch some sense into her, but then he didn't have the luxury of time, his people were being slaughtered like dogs out there. He needed to be ready for whatever the warlock wanted him to do.
Maybe then he would be able to choose his people, right?
"I'm not in the mood for an argument. Besides, what's done is done. And you don't touch Malika. If you touch her—" Jer said before he realized that there wasn't a thing he could do to this warlock.
He was at a disadvantage on so many fonts but what else could he give the women for her to trust him enough to let him out of this damned house?
"Y'know what? Fine. I will do whatever you want. Can you please undo the damn spell then?" Jer said and the woman smirked at him in response.
"Not so fast Jeremiah. Besides, your invaders don't look like they plan on killing the entire Sicario today. They will have to talk to you at some point in the day. You need to be patient, young wolf," the warlock said, angering Jer even more.
There was just no working things out with their woman, was there? But then he was the desperate one, so whatever she had to offer him, he would take, even if it was for him and his people.
"Run! Ignore them! Save yourselves!" Jer continued, ignoring the stares he was getting from the huge army. He couldn't care about it. All that he cared about was saving his people, then he would think of ways to kill Rukiya Greyson.
Jer knew he was on a timer and while he wasn't sure how long it was, he could tell that he needed to do it soon. But how was Jeremiah Warner supposed to kill the strongest Alpha alive, at least to them, now that they didn't know Hawi was still alive?
Or did they?
"Well, well, well. If it isn't the Alpha with a pathetic mate. Where Is that little baby of yours? Perhaps we could have a chat with her. The little shit that got your pack on this state.
"You know if you didn't let your Alpha make stupid decisions, perhaps you could have found a reason to keep yourselves saved. But hey, look at you, without any defenses, and yet you get a mouth on you.
"But hey, no one is judging," Mbali said with a sinister laugh as she watched Her and his people. She could see Elodie heading to her Alpha and she just smirked at the woman, oh she didn't know what she was in for, right?
"You will not talk to my Alpha like that. You are the worst of the worst. Attacking us without having a good reason to do it. Why the fuck would anyone even attack a peaceful pack in the name of pleasure?
"What happened to the treaties? You people are twisted, perhaps jets like that Alpha of yours," Elodie said.
Hawi chuckled at the back.
"Go, Kane. Leave I'll deal with them," Jer said and Elodie looked at him like he was insane.
"You want me to leave you with this bunch of animals? Do you even know what you are? They are even targeting our Luna, what will you do about that disrespect?" Elodie asked even though she wanted to laugh at Jer for being stupid.
"Just go. It's pointless. If they had a good reason, they could have sent a letter first, but they didn't," Jer said and this time, Hawi let out a laugh.
Jer could have sworn he was going crazy, especially when Hawi stepped forward and the entire army bent the knee for her, leaving her standing for him to see.
"Jeremiah Warner... Or should I call you, the realm's puppet?"
"Awuor... You're alive?"
