[RUKIYA]
After a little teasing by the psychos, Ruru and the protectors finally left for the human lands. She wasn't sure what Hawi was intending to get her there, but one thing she knew was that Awuor Hawi never did things just because she could.
The mad woman was a strategist, one who did what she needed to and knew what was expected of her. Hawi was not one to just wake up and do things, and yet at the same time, Ruru had a blinding feeling that there was more to this than met the eyes.
She wanted to make assumptions but then what was the point? She had no clue what was going on or even what this was, but she could simply hope that this would be as exciting as the effort put in.
"Alpha, we're almost there," Kadiam said as they crossed the border between the supernatural and the human realm.
They knew that she had never crossed the borders to the human realm since both and seeing the difference was just crazy. She had wanted to expect things but then the first expectation that she had wasn't even at par with what she had seen.
It was way better. She had always imagined Sicario to be the richest of packs because of the modernized buildings and the intense technology there, but then now that she could see the skies to the human lands, she wasn't so sure.
Every little building was almost like the Sicario household, with the only difference being that instead of huge bungalows for three families, there were skyscrapers for apartments.
The human lands were beautiful. That was something that even Ruru wouldn't deny. There was no point in it anyway, because, at the end of the day, this was some sort of reality she would have to embrace.
"Alright," Ruru responded as she looked out the window. Thankfully, the windows were tinted otherwise anyone would think she hadn't ever been in a vehicle before. But then that was nothing to be proud or shy of.
She had lived her life as a wolf just like werewolves were meant to anyway, right? So, what else would she need when she had everything she wanted in her pack?
"Do you want the windows open, alpha?" Dumi asked when he saw how curious the Greyson alpha was.
She was pretty as hell and curious as fuck.
She couldn't be blamed though. All of this wasn't even part of her dreams so she had no reason to be baffled or excited. But then at the same time, as she tried to think of the reasons that Hawi had brought her to this side, there was only one.
Jeremiah's parents. That idea was honestly very appealing to her.
Rukiya Greyson wanted to carve the bodies of those two and remind them of what their son had put her and her mate through. She wanted to make sure Jer knew never to screw with her or Hawi again.
It was something that she would never forgive no matter what the circumstances would be. Jeremiah was a screw-up and there was no denying that. Then again she didn't care at this moment.
Jeremiah Warner would pay and if making his parents' heads to him as a trophy was it for her then she would do it without feeling any remorse whatsoever. She would fuck him up tenfold and she wouldn't even feel bad about it.
"No, it's okay," Rukiya said to Dumi.
Ten minutes later they stopped at the entrance of the largest hotel chains in the city, the ASH Hotels.
Or maybe it was because no matter what happened there wasn't much that they could do, right?
She hadn't seen them earlier because she was too preoccupied with the protectors but right now, as she pushed a step forward and they opened the door she convinced herself that whatever was to happen would happen and she just had to face that reality.
With one last sigh, the prettiest woman of the night pushed the door only to be met with what she hadn't even dreamt of.
The entire restaurant was empty.
Sure, there were tables there, and waiters and waitresses who were ready for whatever she wanted, but other than that, there was no one.
"Where is everyone," Ruru whispered, as she stood at the entrance, not sure if this was what Kadiam and Dumi had meant when they brought her to this place.
She couldn't imagine inconveniencing everyone even though this was a night when she was allowed to be selfish and want things for herself.
This was the one time she didn't have to be a leader who worried for her people and she could just be the girl who was loved and one who was owed an apology, if that was what this was anyway.
"Please, come in," one of the waitresses said to her and she just stood there like a deer caught in headlights.
"Oh... Okay," Ruru voiced out as she took in the endless white rose petals on the floor. You would think she had come to breathe them in at once. It was all so beautiful, the setup and all... [A/N: Imagine anything romantic :( pretty please lol]
Rukiya was still nervous even when the waitress guided her to a particular seat. She looked like all of this was just some bubble that would pop on her face and remind her that she would never have something like this.
"What would you like to have, miss?" the waitress said and Ruru looked up at her, her eyes softening as she came to terms with what was happening around her.
"Water... Just water," Ruru said and the staff looked at her as if to ask her if she was sure about that. She was inside the largest hotels in the realm and all she had to ask for was just water? Goddamn.
"Make that apple juice for the prettiest flower of the night," Hawi said and Ruru turned so fast that she could have sworn she would have broken her neck if she had just been a human.
"Careful there, baby," Hawi said and Ruru smiled sheepishly, her body relaxing now that she knew she wasn't alone in all of this. She had been worried about screwing up, but right now, she just didn't care anymore.
"You're here," Ruru said excitedly as she got up and hugged Hawi, almost tripping in the process.
"Always for you," Hawi said, cupping her mate's face, and kissed her gently while everyone left them in silence.
