[HAWI]
The following morning, Greyson woke up to the shock of their Luna mute and holding a blade to her chest. To them, it was obvious that Luna couldn't handle losing her daughter. It Was her way of grieving and they were scared for her.
"She is deteriorating and it's just the first day."
"Her daughter was her lifeline, and now she is gone."
"I hope she doesn't turn out like the former alpha Greyson."
"She is severely depressed, damn."
The whispers were loud in Razia's ears and they were fucking with her mind. She wanted to tell them that she was okay and that she hadn't been suicidal, but the crazy psycho white wolf had forced her into this state.
The only reaction she had when people passed her in the hallway was a soft defeated stare. She really looked like she was frustrated and worried about her plans. Their plans. The plans of the seven.
If they knew that she was out of it, they would replace her and that scared the living daylights out of her. Perhaps she could try getting out of this, right?
'I can free myself,' Razia thought to herself as she tried every spell she ever knew and none of it worked. If anything, it just made her feel worse because she looked like a maniac trying to stop herself from not slicing her other arm.
It Was a wild sight and eventually, the warriors and her people began avoiding her. She looked like she had already lost her mind and would be changing people with the blade she had in her hands.
Sure, her blood had dried on the floor, making it even a miracle that she had survived the intense blood loss. Razia was weak and she had Hawi to thank for that.
'That crazy bitch,' Razia said, cruising Hawi as if that would get her free of the chains.
Outside the pack house, the warriors were sad about their alpha.
"I don't want to live in a world without you, Ruru," Hawi whispered frustratedly while Rukiya stared at her softly and with so much love.
"Oh baby... You've been doing well so far sweetheart. How about you let me take over this time, huh? Let me take care of you," Rukiya said as she pulled Hawi into her, laying the wolf on her lap like she was scared Hawi would break.
"It's a lot to handle, Ruru. It's too much given that your mother is directly involved. I don't need you getting hurt," Hawi voiced meekly. She loved being here with Ruru, in their own little world, a world in which there was no one else, but just them.
But Hawi also knew that people wouldn't stop coming after her. Sure, she had made up her mind that she would stay with Rukiya as long as Ruru needed her, but she didn't beat her to suffer because of Hawi.
It was something that Hawi was determined to avoid, so much so that Hawi was forgetting that her mate was also one of the strongest wolves in the realm. Rukiya Greyson ranked second to Hawi alone, and that went a long way to show how powerful she was, and Hawi knew that.
"And I don't want you shouldering everything. Get some rest sweetheart, I'll be taking care of you from now on. And don't worry about me, I have our little team to help," Rukiya said and Hawi let out a sigh of relief.
She was tired and she was glad she didn't have to pretend with Rukiya. Maybe that was why she wanted to protect the one woman who would understand her best, right?
"Promise me you'll be okay. I don't mind having blood on my hands for you," Hawi said.
Rukiya smiled at her mate, pinching her cheeks as if to remind her of what they had just talked about. Then again, Hawi couldn't be blamed. She had grown used to being the one everyone relied on and having someone to rely on occasionally felt strange, even with her friends.
"I will be okay. I have you, remember?" Rukiya said, making Hawi smile at her.
"Okay," Hawi said, giving in.
"Perfect. Sherry will be here with food, and make sure you eat. If you need me, I'll be in my study," Rukiya said warmly.
"Even if I want a kiss?"
"Anything you want, baby. Nothing, I will give it to you," Rukiya said as she gently kissed the barbaric psycho on her bed.
