Chapter 163: Hello Old Friend?



He looked like he wanted to be everywhere but here it was silly now that he was thinking it was just another episode of his again. He couldn\'t disappoint his people like that, because even he knew that there was a lot at stake.

If he was rendered mentally unfit right now, then his people would lose hope, which was too expensive. Besides, just like the warlock had said earlier, he realized that this battle wasn\'t going to be a one-day thing. He needed to be ready for when they came back.

Oh they would, and he could tell, from the way the warriors lifted their heads and started going through a portal that Mbali and Hudhayfah had created. Of course, they took their dead with them, like they already had a burial site for their fallen.

This army was prepared for anything and everything, and Jer could see that too, perhaps that\'s why he was scared when he realized that this wasn\'t an illusion. His rejected mate was here, and undead.

Awuor was standing in front of him with a smirk on her face. She was staring at him as if she was trying to figure him out, and Jer felt like he could faint anytime from now. He knew her so well and he knew she would never forgive his unwarranted rejection.

"Awuor… You\'re alive?" Jer spelled out while Elodie stood at attention like she was waiting for Her to tell her to do anything. It was understandable who fought beside Jer, like her responsibilities demanded.

"In the flesh. You really look like shit, little mate,\'\' Hawi said and Rukiya let out a low growl that got Hawi chuckling. Someone was jealous, even though she knew He would never look at Jer in the same manner. It just wasn\'t possible.

Hawi could see Jer freaking out, like he always did when he was into trouble and that thought made the white wolf snicker, even as she walked around Jer and Elodie who were staring at her with curiosity on their faces.

The fact that Hawi was covered in blood and was there with them made them realize that this woman wasn\'t here for peace. But wasn\'t that obvious to anyone with eyes at the moment?

"Why are you here?" Jer asked, ignoring the gasps of the Sicario wolves who were in the pack house, watching their former Alpha stand there before them.

Hawi looked as pretty as always only this time, she had white hair that was now stained with the blood of Sicario warriors. She was still in her element as their strongest Alpha and they couldn\'t deny the relief they felt when they saw her.

Sure, they could tell that she had chosen to side with Rukiya, but they couldn\'t blame the girl whose entire family had been slaughtered. There was just no way to do that without coming off as pricks who didn\'t care about the woman.

"Ruru told me she was coming to war with Sicario and I figured I\'d stop by and say hello," Hawi said casually, saying she wanted to be the leader of this war. She looked so perfect and innocent even as she stared at her with conniving eyes.

The Sicario Alpha couldn\'t read her anymore because he couldn\'t see through her. Her eyes were dark and sinister but Jer was just still trying to wrap his head around the fact that the woman he thought was dead was alive.

He couldn\'t deny the relief he was feeling too, because this meant that he didn\'t screw up entirely, right?

"Why?" Jer asked and Hawi scoffed.

"Why what? Why am I alive, after you rejected me and left me for the dead? Why am I back and fighting alongside someone who came to invade what was once our home? Why am I back after my entire family was slaughtered by you?

"Why am I here despite my brother\'s wake being just a week ago? Why am I here despite my father dying by the same blades you are bound to be with? Come on man, I thought you had brains," Hawi said with a disappointed scowl on her face.

Jer stared at her, wondering why the hell shit had gotten to this point. The fact that Hawi mentioned the blades for the tunnels made Jer stare at her even more intensely.

It was almost like he was getting an epiphany but then there wasn\'t a thing that he could do to fix it, because at the end of the day, the only thing that he could do was wait for his fate.

Elodie, despite knowing everything, couldn\'t help but feel a pang in her heart. She was never going to get over the fact that her best friend was betrayed by her home or even the fact that everyone had replaced Hawi a little too fast.

It was reality that was scaring her but at the same time, it was a reality that got Elodie angry. If she wasn\'t loyal to Sicario, she could have easily switched sides and helped Him destroy their home. But then she had to be on the inside.

Warrior Kane had to live and let live inside Sicario. She would find a way out of this later on. But until then she had to be the dutiful beta to a man who knew nothing of love and loyalty unless it was about his Malika dearest.

"It was you, in the dungeons?" Jer spoke after a while. He wasn\'t sure what the fuck he needed to do to understand this better, but he could tell that shit was never going to be the same.

If Hawi had seen her father kill himself, then Jer was certain that this was revenge for what had happened.

This was vengeance for the pain that he had kissed her, but what if she didn\'t know that it was him? What if she didn\'t know that he was the bastard behind everything? But then again, Mbali was here with her, which could only mean that Hawi knew.

"Dungeons? Which dungeons? Are you nuts?" Hawi asked and Jer stared at her confused. Why the fuck would she not know of the dungeons when she spoke of the blades and the Sicario Alpha taking his own life?

Oh, but he was confused and he wasn\'t sure he would make it out of this alive. There\'s only so much that he would try and do, but even then, there was no guarantee that all would be well.

"Fuck. Forget I asked that. Anyway, why are you and Rukiya here? I don\'t remember going against our treaty with the Greysons. Also, Lycans being here too is insane, given we have never had anything to do with the Lycans," Jer started as he tried to think of the possible answers, but as usual, he was blank.

There was just no way he could figure this out on his own and he needed to know what Rukiya had been thinking when she came here to trigger a war.

"I warned you not to touch what\'s mine, and you did. So here we are, Jeremiah Warner."
