[HAWI]
"Alpha Jeremiah, do you swear on the goddess to tell the truth, and nothing but the truth here and now?" Asmodeus asked and Jer looked at Hawi, a permanent smirk on his face, almost like this was something he could get used to.
"Of course. I do. Besides, I would hate to watch my pretty little mate here go through this alone, yeah?" Jer said as he walked over to where Hawi was and kissed her on the cheeks, earning a loud warning growl from Rukiya Greyson.
No one was allowed to touch the love of her life and if they wanted to run Sicario into a bloodbath, then Jeremiah Warner needed to get himself under control before Rukiya Greyson did that for them.
She was never going to hold back when it came to Hawi and the fact that he was doing this to spite Hawi made Rukiya want to snap his neck. The bastard may have been immortal but just like the immortal shadow warlocks, he could be killed.
And that was frankly the best idea that Rukiya Greysin had gotten at the moment, even as she got up and walked over to where Hawi was, ignoring the protest by Malika, Mbali, and Elodie.
Hell, even Hudhayfah and Sherry were scared of saying shit to her. They weren't sure there was ever going to be a thing anyone could do to Hawi without Rukiya trying to murder them and right now, Jeremiah Warner was testing the Greyson alpha's patience.
"Lips off my mate, Jeremiah, unless you want me to show you what murder can look like. Your people mean nothing to me, but they sure do mean something to my beautiful mate. And that makes her the only reason you are still all here and alive.
"You try that shit again and I swear on my dead mother, who was your accomplice, that I will burn Sicario to the ground and no one will do shit about it. Try me again, Jeremiah, and watch me take something that you will never recover," Rukiya warned, her voice cold.
She was never going to compromise and Jeremiah Warner testing her patience was a stupid idea because if she snapped and it was because of Hawi, Rukiya wouldn't give up control until she was certain that her woman was safe.
Right now, her Hawi didn't seem safe to her and she was ready to kill them all for her.
She was aware of how feral Ruru could get if she didn't let her cleanse the scent of Her and to make the mattress even more interesting, Ruru got out her tank top and put it on Hawi, making the crowd stare in disbelief.
Either this woman was crazy... which was true, or she just didn't have that high tolerance for anyone who fucked with her woman. Hawi was surprised as she stared at Ruru with excited eyes but she felt brave this time.
She loved that Rukiya wasn't compromising and frankly, it made her heart beat a little better. With the tank top off, Rukiya Greyson was put on a gym bra, only even as her upper body was out there for the entire Sicario to see.
However, whatever she had done didn't bother her. She had so many scars on her body, scars that wanted Sicario. Scars that reminded that pack not to try shit, because she herself had seen death and survived.
And she wasn't scared of going at it again, for Awuor Sicario.
"If you feel uncomfortable, let me know. We will get out of here. I don't care if they try to come at you. I will handle them. I'm here, baby. For you, and they all need to remember that I won't hesitate to kill them all for you," Rukiya said and Hawi just needed to.
She had seen Rukiya Greyson be protective but this was more than what she had imagined and she loved it. She loved that Rukiya cared enough to stand up for her when the people were staring at her with judgy faces.
She loved that her Ruru had meant it when she had sworn to protect her from everyone including her people. Oh, how Hawi felt loved at the moment. Granted she had been ready to face everything, but with Rukiya at her side, she was more than ecstatic.
"I will, Jaberna," Hawi said as she held Ruru in a soft headlock before they pulled apart and Rukiya dally sat on the chair that Asmodeus had given her earlier. Well, they now knew what to expect.
"Great," Ruru said as she kissed Hawi on the lips, a full-on kiss like she was reminding everyone who didn't already know who Hawi belonged to.
And Hawi didn't fight the kiss.
She gave in.
