Chapter 65: Quite The Good Night, No?



Adolf was still raging because of Hawi\'s unthankful nature, while Hudhayfah had long given up fighting the banished alpha, because he already knew that he would be seeing more of her, even with her rebellion.

The Sicario prisoners were excited and while they wanted to go with their leader, they were aware that their mission was complete and didn\'t care what chaos followed after this.

The only important thing to them was that their alpha was alive, healthy and in good hands, not to mention her madness hadn\'t changed even once. It was a good evening for them and if they had a chance they would offer sacrifices to the goddess to show their appreciation.

"She\'s still flawless as always," Rukiya said thoughtfully as she looked in the direction of where Hawi and her protector had disappeared. She didn\'t seem bothered by the fact that the psycho alpha had just ignored her and probably made her look stupid with the blood oath or anything.

To Rukiya Greyson, it was like she had gotten a new bout of fresh air and it was worrying. Adolf looked at his best friend, silently questioning where the badass Rukiya was and what had happened to her.

Then again, as someone who had seen Rukiya through the years, he knew that his alpha had fallen so hard for the mistress of chaos and vengeance, and it was just a matter of time before Rukiya got her heart broken.

The worst part of it all was that Adolf wouldn\'t be able to do shit to help Rukiya then. He just had to let everything play out and that made him feel like they were about to be walking on literal fire because of the two women.

"Goddess please have mercy on us all," was all Adolf let out, before they walked back to the shelter, leaving Rukiya standing there in the night like the moon was suddenly so interesting.

He wanted to bug her a little but he couldn\'t, because he knew that this time he needed to let Rukiya do this on her own. Besides, she was always going to be level-headed after some time anyway.

That night, Rukiya Greyson didn\'t sleep. Instead, she had been thinking of different strategies to take over Sicario. It was almost like the mission was more than personal for her. She was analyzing Jer and Elodie\'s actions during the war in her head.

She was trying to see what fit where and who she would begin with if ever Hawi had called upon her army given their circumstances. Rukiya was thinking of the older Sicario alpha, a man who had been ready to die for his lands, and yet refused to believe in his daughter.

Rukiya was pissed that the alpha knew of what would happen and still let his daughter find herself in the trap that was the worst situation a child would ever be put in and they had put Hawi in it like she was the easiest target.

And for some reason, that drove Rukiya to the edge, so much so that Adolf had to get up and force her outside.

"You need to calm down, alpha. Your anger is simmering through the links and it\'s just a matter of time before all the Greson wolves experience the unrest and we both know that will keep them on edge and stop them from going through with their activities.

"Please," Adolf said when he managed to walk Rukiya outside.

He didn\'t know what had made her so angry to the point that the links were filled with so much anger, but the last time she had felt like this, Rukiya was fighting against her father, the man who had brought Greyson down and Rukiya had to make the choice between her father and her people.

Adolf didn\'t even want to ask what it was, because the amount of clicking and pacing Rukiya was doing was already disturbing in itself.

"It will get better, Rukiya," Adolf added a few hours into RUkya\'s pacing. If she wasn\'t careful, she would dig a hole in the soft soil that was left when the rains had stopped. He could only wish peace for her.

"I know, it just makes me feel like there is more that I need to do and assess, but I don\'t even have the time," Rukiya said sadly as she plopped to the ground. It was crazy how she was more worried about Awuor Hawi more than Hawi was worried about herself.

It was almost like Rukiya was having an intense urge to please Hawi and that would lead her in the direction of her shattering heart. While she was pacing around, the mistress of chaos was sleeping peacefully in the cold shelter, right?

Well, that would have been easy to explain, but then Hawi hadn\'t been sleeping. She had been listening and heard what Adolf had said to Rukiya and for a split moment, Hawi felt like she was responsible for this, and her heart bled for Rukiya.

She didn\'t know the repercussions of the blood oath that well, but Hawi knew that no blood oath would drive the woman to this level of insanity, if she hadn\'t been in that state herself.

"Go get some rest, Adolf. I\'ll stay with her," Hawi suddenly said, making Rukiya stop her pacing and Adolf glared at Hawi under the moonlight.

He didn\'t trust her and he was right to not trust her, because Hawi was even more unpredictable, especially now that she had nothing left to lose anymore. She could go bonkers and no one would question her and no council would dare to judge her.

"You?" Adolf asked skeptically. He knew that it was easier to believe traitors than for him to believe that Awuor Hawi suddenly had Rukiya\'s best interests at heart.

"Yes, Adolf. I\'ll take care of her Even just for tonight, you can rest assured that I\'ll take good care of her. I won\'t be doing this when the sun rises thru. So go, warrior, get some sleep and I\'ll be here with her," Hawi said again and Adolf raised another brow at the woman.

The fact that there was sincerity in Hawi\'s voice confused him even more. This woman was sitting at the same table as the devil and now she was suddenly feeling empathetic if she couldn\'t even muster a thank you?

"Where\'s Malika?" Adolf asked like that was supposed to mean anything to him or even Hawi.

"Sleeping like everyone else. You should sleep… Tomorrow might be busy. I won\'t hurt her, I promise alright?" Ha insisted and Rukiya looked at her with a blank face.

"Go, Adolf. If she tries anything, I am just as strong a fighter as she is. I can handle myself," Rukiya said to Adolf who still looked like he needed a lot of convincing to leave Rukiya with the mad woman.

"Oh, Rukiya, you care too much about this... If you want to come to war with me, you must promise to choose mind over matter, and everything else, including the heart.

"You can\'t fight beside me, if you\'re always going to let everyone read through you like an open book," Hawi said softly to Rukiya, as she removed a stray strand of hair on Rukiya\'s face, once Adolf was gone.

It was almost like she too cared about Rukiya, but that was impossible, right?

"I don\'t know what you\'re talking about," Rukiya reiterated, as she faltered back. she wasn\'t sure where she was headed, but a little further so Hawi wouldn\'t hear her fast heartbeats that were betraying her face right now.

She wasn\'t sure what they were both doing, or even what had happened, to get them this close that they could almost feel each other\'s breaths. Rukiya wanted to blame it on the night and the cold weather, but was that really it for them?

"That\'s how it should be, even on the battlefield," Hawi said, as she put a hand on Rukiya\'s waist, to stop Rukiya from falling over in the muddy patch behind her.

"If you keep worrying about me too much, you might have wrinkles, and I\'m not planning on having a wrinkly mate, when my war is over, alright?" Hawi breathed ever so slowly on Rukiya\'s face, before kissing Rukiya\'s forehead, an action that not only shocked Rukiya, but also Hawi herself, and the mad woman suddenly had to rush back to her shelter with Malika.
