[HAWI]
Rukiya Greyson had proven more than once that she was a menace and could be worse even as the trial went on. She was determined to make sure the love of her life got the justice she deserved.
She didn't mind that they could sit here all afternoon and Hawi wasn't even trying to stop her. Sicario had fucked her over once and she wasn't going to be the one to stand up for herself this time.
She would let things happen the way they wanted to. It didn't matter how long it took. Besides, it was more fun seeing everyone get rattled by the mere fact that there was someone who could actually be crazier than their alpha.
"Please tell your mate to stop strangling and scaring people. It's not going to make the outcome of the trial change," Asmodeus literally pleaded with Hawi and the woman asked him as if to tell him that this was what they all wanted.
It was interesting how quick they were to do so much in so little time, but then what else could Hawi do? What was she supposed to do for them to understand that nothing would ever be okay no matter what the outcome of this trial was
"Just because you asked nicely," Hawi said to a worried Asmodeus before she turned to Ruru.
"Let's get this over and done with, my beautiful, so we can have more time to ourselves," Hawi said and Rukiya let out a soft growl before she looked at Asmodeus in warning. All of this was just not pleasing her, but since her Hawi asked. She would comply.
"That actually sounds better than sitting here with this bunch of traitors," Rukiya said with a smile on her face as she held onto Hawi's hand, entwining their fingers like it was the only way to calm her down.
It was crazy for a moment there but at least they had each other, right?
"Great. Let's get this over with then," Jeremiah said and Rukiya simply glared at him, while she held her entwined hand with Hawi, just high enough for Jeremiah Warner to see her kissing those hands.
Goddess, she wanted to rub it in his face every chance she got.
She had people who loved her and who would choose her even if the word was black and gray, and still show up for her. She had people in her corner and that was more than she could have imagined, especially from the last time.
"What?" Jer asked and it took every ounce of patience in Ruru not to smack his head or even respond with a snarky comment. It was like all of this was just some gateway for her to tell the world and show them how badly she wanted to fuck up Jeremiah Warner.
If they weren't careful, then Jeremiah Warner would be long dead by the end of this trial and Rukiya Greyson wouldn't regret it one bit. The man was an annoying piece of junk that belonged in the bin with other trash anyway, no?
"I, Alpha Awuor Hawi Sicario, plead not guilty to the murder of my mother and Luna, Eniola Sicario. And I hope the court fills in the blank spaces that should have long been filed before my banishment," Hawi said, her toe filed with respect.
Asmodeus looked at Rukiya as if to ask her whether she was okay with that.
Ruru wasn't even bothered because she knew everyone was trying to keep tabs on her as if the eye contact was supposed to tell Rukiya Greyson that chairs were to be sat on and that meetings were to be respected.
The woman didn't give a flying fuck about it before, and she wasn't about to start now.
"If you keep staring at me like that, Asmodeus, your life will be reduced to an unending sequence of agonizing torture, worse than what you are already going through at the moment. If I were you, I would look away," Ruru warned with a warm smile.
She had smiled a lot for the day and she was so close to losing her shit with all of those smiles. She was slowly realizing how fun it was to be at war than be at civilized meetings because what the fuck was even this anyway?
"I hope you have prepared your defense," Asmodeus said and Rukiya glared at him again. Damn, the woman was not letting the man rest but then she had to make sure that everything would be smooth, right?
"Of course. We are prepared. I shall plead the case for my client," Rukiya suddenly said and everyone groaned out in frustration while she smiled heartily at them.
This would be fun.
