The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[SICARIO]

The council room was quiet as the Savasci knights stopped one by one. They had all felt the sudden change, thanks to the magic that bound them together and right now, they all had the same questions.

Nothing had been brought to their attention a little too fast like this and frankly, it was not something that they would embrace easily.

The past and present were at a risk of coming together and why that was a desired outcome for many, it was not as stable on any front.

That would be the engineered chaos and they needed to find a balance before they thrust themselves into a world that would have seen them all dead.

"It's the queen… she left the realm," Hudhayfah said when everyone was already settled. For a bunch of rowdy wolves and Lycans, the Savasci knights were a little too quiet right now.

They looked like they would pay loads just to not be thrust into art again, and while that was a possibility, they had to have faith. On what though? The queen who was supposed to keep the realm safe and yet had left the realm?

There were many people like the Russels who had decided to fill up the space left by them and they had been holding back because the werewolf queen wasn't exactly the kind of person to mess with. Everyone knew that a little too well and that had followed the will of the goddess.

"Great. So, we have to ask people to come and they break into Sicario again," Malika sighed and Elodie just rubbed her shoulders gently. They had been stressed about the queen and her insane demands for the whole day and now she was adding them more work.

Honestly, the more the Savasci knights interacted with the queen indirectly. The more they were certain that the woman hated them and wanted them gone, because why the fuck would she leave at such a moment?

The new Sicario was easily the most protected part of the realm and only the insane would try that, which meant that self-control would be something that they had to force themselves to deal with today too.

"If Hawi were here she would have killed the trespassers and let us have our beauty sleep," Elodie wined and Sherry just chuckled amusedly. Even with all the time that had passed, they all depended on Hawi.

They all hoped that she would come home, which was sweet and all, but the tightness of the impossible having to see light was something they had learned to not focus on a little too much.

"So, what are we supposed to do now? Deploy warriors to guard the realm?" Zaniel asked and Adolf stared in earnest. He knew how hectic this would be and he understood just how hard this would be for them, especially with the workload that the devil of a queen had left them.

It wasn't easy, but they had to embrace it.

Maybe if the queen came back, they would forget her and tell her to stop making their lives harder than the others, right? Perhaps that would buy them a few months of freedom or maybe even complete freedom like they had been with Hawi.

Then again, with Hawi, they were not even free, they had reigned the realm themselves. Everyone who heard of the Savasci knights always made sure to steer clear of them and that was something that the knights had gotten used to.

Sure, they were still feared, three hundred years later, but they hadn't been sighted out of Sicario from the month at Hawi and Mbali had left. Which made the people around them and beyond the borders start wondering if they were still the same.

Well, if it was any consolation, the knights were the same, just that they were all anxiously waiting for the day that Awuor Hawi would come back home to them and protect them like they always did to and for each other.

"Actually, there is something else I just learned," Hudhayfah said and they looked at him keenly. It is obvious that it was important which was why they had been called into the council room instead of using the mind links like they always did.

"Who did the queen kill this time?"

"What did Adolf do then?"

"Why am I always suspected?"

"Please tell me that the queen changed her mind about her assignment."

"Can we go back to sleep happily?"

"All of you are wrong… anyway, the queen went to the human lands, because of two male rogues that had been spotted in club Hernia, and who had caused a lot of trouble for the wolves on that other side.

"She went there to make sure they came home," Hudhayfah said and the room went silent which was a whole new page for them, seeing as they had been ready to burst Hudhayfah's eardrums barely seconds ago.

"What should we care about if there are two rogues?" Sherry asked since it seemed like she was the only one who didn't understand what was going on. The realm had been stable and the queen had been intact all those years.

"Queens never deal with rogue wolves," Adolf said slowly, and Sherry stared at him still.

"Rogues are always the problem for the warriors and the protectors. The queen is never called to answer the call from rogues because no rogue is worth the queen's attention," Zaniel explained.

Sherry stared at them, but this time, she was understanding.

"You think it's them?" Rio asked the question that is in everyone's mind right now. There were so many pointers, but they had to spell out the words because otherwise, they would be hoping for nothing. None of that shit made any sense, truly.

"There has only ever been one group of misfits in all of history to give the crown a run for its money and attention," Malika stated as she looked at the knights in the council room like she was waiting for them to make a guess.

"Well, good for them. I hope they unmask that queen and send us a photo of her face that she has been hiding all these years. I need to have a one-on-one with that woman and make her understand that she should not overwork us.

"Hawi would never have let us suffer like this," Adolf said confidently as he ended his attempt with a whine that the entire team knew was coming.

Adolf had always lost the bets when it came to the work the queen handed him, which was why he was so bitter about it because he knew that with the current workload, he would lose a bet with someone and he would have to do extra work.

That shit wasn't pretty but they were a team and they all loved each other like family.

Hell, they were probably more than family by now.

"Adolf…" Hudhayfah trailed off like he was waiting for Adolf to catch up too.

"No way," the former Greyson beta said in disbelief. Then again, the team around the table probably agreed with him, because there was just no way that this was true in the entire realm. That was pure madness.

"Agreed. It's impossible and doesn't make any sense."

"Well, it is the truth. The only team that scares even the moon goddess is…"
