[JER]
"Russel, please!!" Jer led for the umpteenth time. The darkness was consuming him at a faster rate than he had thought possible and frankly, his world was done crashing on him. If he lost his woman, he would lose everything.
He couldn't free himself and the weather had gotten terrible, it didn't help that all the wolves inside the pack house had already been taken to their underground bunkers, so there was no one looking out for him.
Not even his own warriors.
Standing alone in the battlefield, Jer called out to the only person he hoped could help him. She had promised that Malika wouldn't be hurt, so she had to be around, she had to have known how this shit turned out.
"You promised she wouldn't be hurt. You promised me, please, save her," Jer pleaded again before a cloud of fog suddenly showed up, making Her release a sigh of relief.
He knew how she always showed up and frankly, he was glad that she was coming for him and his mate. He was desperate to see Malika alive and it was breaking him to see her in that state.
Of course, Malika had already comforted her squad and taken her rightful position, at the time that she was disoriented with tears.
The woman she had had replace her earlier was reduced to ashes and in her place with an open wound that couldn't be started was Malika, the real Malika. She even let Jer feel her fear and smell her scared scent even as she played unconscious for a man she hated with everything she had and didn't have.
"My, my, my. How the mighty have fallen," the warlock from earlier said as she walked through the mist, which instantly faded the moment she was standing close to Malika's torn body.
"Fuck, your ex is brutal as hell," Russel, the warlock sighed as she took in the sight before her, she had never seen someone be treated this cruelly, but then it wasn't like they were up against foes who knew what humanity stood for anyway.
The band of crazies could do whatever the hell they wanted and no one would question it because they were indicated by their leader's pain, a pain that could have been avoided.
"Please save her. The baby is dead but please don't let my Malika die, please," Jer begged again, as his desperate voice filled the atmosphere. He could hear Malika's weak whimpers and grunts and fuck it was messing with him.
"Nope, we don't," Hawi said and Rukiya just pouted before she spoke.
"But we will soon enough, I want her babies, so it's just a matter of time before we get into it. Before you ask, we're patient because we have to make sure the environment for our pups is the best, given she's my mate.
"And if she breeds me, I'll be with pups on the first try. She could try to pull out though, but with her stamina, it's a long gamble... I'm rambling right? Fuck I should shut up, or Hawi could shut me up with a kiss or something else," Rukiya said.
The tent went silent. Completely and utterly silent like there wasn't a sign of life there. Her words had managed to get the entire squad silent and the boy was in awkward silence.
"I'm available anytime you want me to fill all your holes, sweetheart," Hawi said and everyone let out groans of disgust and disapproval.
"There is a whole hidden tent for you if you want to do it, just don't tell us the hows. I haven't eaten since morning and thinking of you two... Y'know what... I don't want to hear anyone talk about fucking right now.
"I want to know what happened with Malika and Elodie," Mbali complained before Hawi snorted like it was just another day for them.
"They fucked," Riley said and Mbali let out another series of groans while Adolf and Hudhayfah suddenly found the tent structure interesting, judging by how they were talking about it.
"I need to go back guys. Yes, we fucked and yes if I don't get onto that woman's body, I will be asleep for two weeks and you will have to do the work without me... which could be dangerous for all of you since only I know all the possible counter spells for whatever magic the bastard has on his hands.
"So will you let me leave or will you continue talking about my sex life with Ella?" Malika asked her friends who were a little too curious about the details. Of course, she could tell them but she knew they would tease her with it even on the battlefield.
It wasn't something she could put past them.
"Sure, sure. Be careful though. And keep your mind link open at all times. If you need us, Malika—" Hawi said, her voice stern but warm as she looked at her protector.
"I know, Hawi, I know. I'll see you guys later, alright?'' Malika said before leaving through the portal.
