[HAWI]
When they got there, they were met with an empty camp, which was supposed to be comforting, even though the thoughts they couldn't speak were really haunting them a thousandfold.
"Let's follow their trail," Hawi said and it seemed Malika was done holding back.
"Hawi... I smell blood. Familiar blood. Greyson blood," Malika voiced what they both were smelling. It was too close to what they had seen and while denial was a thing for Hawi, Malika knew she would have to snap out of it. Explore more adventures at m,v l'e-m|p| y r
Something had happened here and they needed to be able to figure it out because there was not supposed to be any blood in the camp. The spell they had cast was immortal. An undefeated spell.
It was the spell that had been linked to Hawi's lifeline and no matter what happened, no one should have been hurt, much less the Greysons. This was not what should've happened and honestly, Hawi was losing her shit silently.
She wanted to know whether her mate was alright, but a part of her knew that shit had been fucked up. In the vision they had seen of the camp, they had seen a broken-hearted Rukiya, who was covered in blood.
They had seen the entire Greyson army slaughtered. They had seen a people failed by a spell that wasn't supposed to be that weak. They had seen the only people left standing be Hudhayfah, Rukiya, Mbali, and the Lycans.
The rest of the team had fallen and that was too huge a hit for them. It wasn't how shit was supposed to work and Have hoped to the goddess that they could get there faster. She needed to see Rukiya.
"Have you tried the mind links, Hawi?" Malika asked, even though she had a feeling Hawi had discreetly tried it already. There were so many questions lingering and there were no real answers for them.
An army that huge shouldn't have been easy to take out. They should have been able to get the answers they needed sooner, and with the army fallen, something was definitely amiss.
Malika made a mental note to say hello to Razia in the only way that she would be able to understand. There Was just no way that everything could go wrong, what they had prepared so ardently.
They all were dead, that much was obvious, given there were only nine heartbeats. Seven Lycans including Mbali, Hudhayfah, and Ruru's heartbeats. They were all so frantic and that was worrying.
"What the fuck happened here and who the fuck is that?" Malika asked as she took a closer look at the person on the other end, who seemed to enjoy giving the remaining team a lecture.
That person was too calm, way too calm like he knew what he was up against. It was almost like he wasn't the least bit scared of whatever the fuck was coming for him. He had to have known Hawi and how crazy the woman was.
There was a calmness with the man and that was making Malika even more curious.
She wondered what the protectorates were doing and not defending the Savasci army but then she realized that the proctors would only show up for the white wolf and no one else. Oh, how fate was a cruel bitch to them.
"I know that, but by the time she manages to do that, she would have lost everything, again. She should really learn to give up and let things be," the man said and Hawi felt her anger coming to surface again.
She hated cowards who did things behind her back. She hated enemies who just popped up just because they could and more than anything, Awuor Hawi dispersed everything and everyone who thought they would just take things from her.
"She won't let you be. She will ruin you and even you hold dear, Atticus. Let us go. You know the kid more than anyone and you know her mercy died when Luna Eniola died and you all framed it on her.
"She won't forgive you," Hudhayfah said and Atticus slapped the healer, making the healer's neck snap to the side. If Hudhayfah didn't have magic, there was a really high chance that he would be dead, dead and dead.
This man was a cruel piece of shit and now he had treated Hawi.
"I know that so well, which is why I made sure to have Rukiya here. If you are a pretty little white wolf trying anything, I will kill you and then kill her. Or do you think that just because you're mated, it makes her untouchable?
"You, Rukiya Greyson, are Hawi's bane. Literally," Atticus said with a sinister laugh.
