The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance Chapter 309: Nothing Happened In The Way I Wanted

[HAWI]

"You still hide in the sa spot, sister," Elodie said when she reached the forr Sicario alpha's suite and found Hawi standing on the balcony that was hidden from everyone except those who knew about its existence.

It was one of the places Hawi always ran to whenever she was angry, confused or needed to clear her head without anyone coming after her.

She always did that with ease and her parents hadn't once complained because they knew she liked it there from a young age. After all, she was still their baby, no matter her age, right?

"The sky is always prettier from this side of the world," Hawi said, not even turning to look at her sister. She was still covered in blood and her hair was disheveled, almost like she had been pulling it for a while.

It was sothing that Elodie hated, btu the, she had to listen and know what the fuck happened for her sister to be in such a state, especially since Rukiya had refused to say anything.

"What happened between the two of you?" Elodie asked as she gently held her sister's shoulder and forced her to look at her.

She could sll the stench of blood from a distance and while the footsteps had given it away, the streaks on Hawaii's face still managed to surprise the warrior. Maybe she would be able to help her best form this ti, right?

"I didn't run away if that's what was in your head," Hawi said softly and Elodie stared at her softly. She had always seen Hawi at her worst and when she was determined to make everything disappear. And that wasn't what Elodie was seeing today.

Hawi was calm, way too calm for soone who had had a disagreent with her mate. And while that should have scared Elodie or even worried her, it relaxed her. It was clear that no matter what happened, Hawi was slowly learning from the experiences.

She was embracing reality, however difficult that was and it was worth being proud of, really.

"I didn't say that. Besides, if you wanted to turn away, you wouldn't have let find you. You wouldn't have kept the mind links open and you wouldn't have resolved the mind links to make it seem like nothing was the problem.

"You could have run, literally, but you're here, so that's progress," Elodie said proudly and earnestly.

She understood Hawi more than anyone and it was a little too much even more than sisters would, which perhaps could explain the rumors in the past that claid that Elodie had been in love with Hawi.

No one would understand how protective the two were of each other, so the sisters didn't even clear their nas off that shit. To them it was just a normal thing and no one would ever be able to talk them out of it anyway.

"I think I hurt her feelings and I need to figure out a way to fix it. I don't like it when she's sad and that too because of ," Hawi said as she lifted her head to look at her sister. She knew Elodie wouldn't judge her regardless and she understood.

"Did you say sothing to her?" Elodie asked.

"I said a lot of things. I didn't an to hurt her, I really didn't. Now here I am, wondering if flowers and a dinner date will make up for it, but I don't think that's enough, because at so point we will have to talk, and that is what got my mind on overdrive.

"I don't want to fuck up again and I can't be the reason she cries. I swore to wipe her tears and all I did today was hurt her. What if—" Hawi rambled on and Elodie stared at her, with a tender smile, sothing that got Hawi curious and overthinking, again.

Maybe it wasn't the best of ideas, but then she had everything to find the best approach for this, but she couldn't. It was like she had hit a wall and this was one that not even magic could wipe out – not that Hawi needed to wipe it out.

She wanted to communicate effectively with her mate and she wanted to understand her and listen to her. And the longer she stayed here the more she realized how stupid it had been for her to throw in an apology and make a run out of there.

"You think I'm going nuts, huh?" Hawi said defeatedly.

"No. I actually think this is so good progress. You're slowly learning what emotions an and I couldn't have been prouder of you. Whatever it is that happened you both can fix it. Go to her, talk to her and listen this ti.

"Listen keenly to what she has to say and when she is done, talk to her. After thinking. Don't let your pride get in the way of things, though I can tell I don't have to worry about your pride fucking things up…

"…Because it hasn't shown since you fell for the Greyson girl. And yes, a date and flowers will do you both so good. If possible, take her out of Sicario. This place slls like death and war.

"Give her a change of environnt, and before you talk about us… Malika, Mbali and I will be taking care of Sicario along with Asmodeus. As for your security, the two of you are too crazy for even the goddess to try and fuck around with you.

"The Goddess can only rest the soul of whoever tries to ss up your date. Chin up, little sister. You look prettier with a smile, alright?" Elodie said and Hawi just stared sheepishly like she was with her older sister.

Well, Elodie had always stepped in to be that for her more tis than Hawi could count.

She was always there to help Hawi fix herself up and make things easier for her. Funny how years later they were still the sa souls that adored each other more than life could ever comprehend.

"What if she doesn't like it?" Hawi asked Elodie to snirt this ti.

"Y'know when we asked what was wrong, she said you wanted to be with the wolves and that she had been with Jer down there which was why she was crying? She's already defending you even when you fight.

"She will definitely like it, I know that. She's a keeper," Elodie said as she patted her sister on her shoulder. She could tell that Hawi was relaxing more around Rukiya and it was admirable.

She and the rest of their team and allies could only hope that they had a healthy relationship because then it would be easier for the both of them to get to fulfill their missions and their happily ever after.

"Alright. I'll clean up and start thinking of places," Hawi said and Elodie whipped up a long list of hotels in the human lands making Hawi stare at her like there were a thousand things wrong with the woman, but was there?

"You don't have to say thank you… Just swear you won't fuck each other for twelve days," Elodie said as she walked away and Hawi just let out a light laugh. Her sister was nits but at the sa ti, Elodie was right.

She could fix this if they just talked, right?
