The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[HAWI]

"We go there as men. Human men and our hair color will be brown—" Mbali began and Hawi burst out laughing at what Mbali was showing her. This wasn't expected to happen, but Mbali was just too adorable either way.

"That's blonde… not brown, Mbali. What will I do with you?" Hawi teased heartily.

"Fine, we're not going with that. We'll go with black hair then. That is easier to explain with the tuxes I brought for us anyway," Mbali said and Hawi gently patted her back. They were changing a lot of this and it was interesting.

They both had the magic to make them transform into whatever the fuck they wanted to be and yet here in the dressing room, they were trying out tuxes because Mbali was trying to teach Hawi what normal looked like.

It was boring, but humans were boring and they had to blend in.

"No scents?" Hawi asked the obvious once they were dressed up.

"No scents and no magic, unless it is really important and we have to," Mbali said and Hawi stared at her like Mbali was scolding her. It wasn't that far a stretch because Mbali knew Hawi so well and she knew how shit always got with her.

"This is going to be some boring mundane work," Hawi signed defeatedly.

"I know, but it's better than drinking like camels and not even feeling what we want to feel. If we get the job, then we can punch a few faces on the job and feel better.

"Besides, they will be supernatural, so we can beat the shit out of them and make them forget as fast as they can't even have imagined," Mbali shrugged and Hawi laughed at the idea.

Her friend was full of so many good ideas and frankly, it's more than exciting to know what they were in for, this time. This would be the perfect revenge to the moon goddess and Hawi was all in for it.

"Awesome," Hawi said as she punished the air and Mbali stared at her skeptically.

"What now? Don't tell me you have more rules," Hawi complained.

"Just one more," Mbali teased.

"Fine, out with it."

"You must not lose your temper… heavy on the MUST," Mbali said and Hawi rolled her eyes at Mbali. What the fuck did her friend think of her this time to even come up with such a ridiculous rule?

"That's the simplest one of them all. None of these pesky little shits we're about to send the bitch can make me lose my temper. Don't worry too much about that, I assure you," Hawi said and Mbali stared at her blankly as if to remind her friend what was at stake.

Hawi was explosive.

She could go from smiley to deadly in an instant.

Mbali had seen it one too many times and this wasn't going to be a false rule. Hawi was dangerous… hell she was the most dangerous creature of the moon goddess and they both knew it too.

She was always uncontrollable and lost her temper as easily as anyone could breathe. Hawi was dangerous and the fact that her friend had to remind her of that was just insane. But then surely the message was home, right?

"Oh, really now? Is that why you made that woman trip since she looked an awful lot like Ruru but she wasn't Ruru?" Mbali asked and Hawi stared at the ceiling as if she wasn't going to answer that at the moment.

Then again, Mbali was right. For this to go well for them, they had to keep their tempers in check. They were the Savasci knights and they had an insane temper that could bring the mere human realm down.

It wasn't that hard for them and they knew it, but for the sake of coexistence and embracing changes, they had to agree to this.

"I didn't do shit. She fell. Ruru wouldn't have fallen that easily. She would have seen me coming and jumped then come to… she would have run towards me and held me close and never let go.

"Ruru would have let me bathe in her scent and she would kiss me like I was the only person who mattered. Ruru would have kissed the mischief out of me and made me feel better. She would have embraced me, Mbali. Ruru would have never let me go.

"My Ruru was precious, she was so precious and they took her from me. How was I supposed to live with that y'know when she first died, I was so sure that someone was pulling my leg.

"I wanted to scream at the goddess, but I had felt her breath leave her. I was there. I was supposed to be the most powerful wolf to ever live and yet in the face of everything, I had failed my Ruru.

"I hadn't even managed to give her the breath of life before she was gone, Mbali. She was the love of my life and the goddess and the fates took her like it was nothing. They wanted their mission in and I did it. I completed the mission.

"I ended the war and yet I lost her," Hawi said, as streaks of tears showed up on her face. she had been trying to hold on for so long and it was just never enough each time she tried to breathe, it hurt.

Everything always hurts because Ruru wasn't here. Ruru was supposed to live and she was snatched from her. That wasn't the kind of pain that anyone survived and Hawi knew so damn well that she wouldn't live as long as she thought, even with immortality.

Maybe her body would be alive over the years, but her soul was dead. It had died on the day that Ruru had died and there wasn't a thing on the face of the earth that could make her feel any better about it.

"Hawi… we don't have to do this, you know. If it's too much we can try other things. Hell, we can stay here for as long as you want us to and then we can go back home, I won't complain, I promise," Mbali said softly as she pulled Hawi into a hug.

They almost never talked about the madness back home, because they were desperate to move on. But even moving on was proving to be such a hard task for them. Maybe in another life, all would be well, right?

But what other life was there when they were immortals?

"We have to, Mbali. we can't always stay indoors and as much as it hurts, as much as it is a little overwhelming right now, I think we truly need this. Amina would be disappointed to see us like this, hell, Ruru would have wanted us to be better.

"So, get ready we have to go get that job and start today," Hawi said heartily, sniffling away as she wiped away his furious tears.

She would cry later, that was one thing she was certain of, but until then, she had to try and show his friend that this was something that had to be done.

"Okay. Do we teleport… or do we get a bus?"

"I agree to come along not to be stuffed into a moving container with people who smell like rats."
