The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance Chapter 321: A Step In The Right Direction?

[HAWI]

Nikolai Russel looked like shit. Now that Rukiya had left, it was obvious that he would suffer a little more so Malika took that chance to let the wolves know that she would be taking the man away from them.

None of them had the guts to speak up because they still were trying to get used to the fact that Malika, Mbali, Rukiya, and Awuor were on the sa team and on the sa side.

One of them in any pack was more than enough to ward all the people away but here they were the four crazies on the sa side. They were undoubtedly walking on thin ice around the found won who didn't even bother with them.

It was like they were in their own world and the Sicario wolves were on their own. The difference being, that to the Sicario wolves, the four won, along with Elodie Kane were the symbol of safety and red flags at the sa ti.

They didn't want to upset a lot of them and they wanted to keep their substance.

"Alright, you take him. And please tell Alpha Sicario that her trial is scheduled for this evening," Asmodeus said, making Malika look at him like this wasn't exactly the best of tis.

They all knew how hard the trial would hit and they were aware that it would take a toll on Hawi and unearth so many mories.

Malika wanted to object but even she knew that this was one stone they needed to go over, and make way for everything else that was to co.

Sicario didn't have a reigning alpha at the mont, at least not one that was known to the public, even though they all knew of the psychos being here. Many would be tempted to co and try making a claim, which would be well within the laws of the land, but they couldn't let that happen.

Hawi needed to have her na cleared and she needed to decide if she would be the reigning alpha or if she would show soone else.

Of course, it was only going to work if the werewolves of Sicario trusted her and believed that she was innocent of the trials and accusations that had stuck with her for four years now.

That was a lot of ti and frankly, Malika's skepticism with this was understood.

Then again, she was the wolf's protector and she needed to clear the long list of things one by one before Hawi made it out and went to sit on the throne that had one too many thorns that would keep coming at him.

It didn't matter what else was on the agenda though, because this was more important.

"Sure, I'll let her know. anwhile, you can let the wolves know that all the supplies will be free regardless of what they cost. They just have to make a list of what they need and they will get it.

"I understand that was the system Alpha Awuor had before Jeremiah reintroduced the taxation system. And before you think that this is to sway them into making my mistress innocent, please do not be mistaken.

"Even when she was away, she had parade as the pack luna to make sure the wolves were healthy and got what they needed. She was looking after you and I was sending her weekly reports of everything.

"She has always loved Sicario even when it was hard for you to rally behind her. So, you do that while I take Nikolai Russel to his brother. Soone Ashton keeps these damned shadow warlocks I check.

"I'll see you around, Asmodeus," Malika said casually as she created a portal and dragged Nik into it before she followed suit, leaving the wolves staring with open mouths.

They had been in so much debt that most of them had forgotten what it was like, to have soone who truly cared for them. Jeremiah Warner had insisted that the taxes were ant to keep Sicario safe.

But then he had done a terrible job keeping the pack safe and had let them have their asses handed to them more than twice. He was a bastard and there was no anything like that.

However, with Malika and the crazies gone from their sight, the wolves knew they had to make their choices.

"You heard her. Get ready with what you need and send it to the elder's desk and they will be sorted," Asmodeus said and Theo, and the warriors nodded as they watched the wolves agree too.

It was interesting how Sicario had been the richest of lands on the realm and still, had their people taxed. It beat all logic and now that Malika had ntioned it, they were thinking the sa thing. Well, they had to think about it at a later ti, yeah?

"Why do we have to subject her to a trial? We all saw in the mind links what Jeremiah Warner and the shadow warlocks did. We all know she didn't kill the Luna. I don't understand all of this," Theo said to Asmodeus who was listening keenly.

He knew they all had to be thinking the sa thing after the revelation.

Sure, Hawi hadn't exactly been the kindest to them over the years but they had thrown the first punch at an innocent and all she had done to this day was just to defend herself.

She had never launched a full-on fight with Sicario, and even when she did, she had co with four warriors. That should have been the first indication to them that she hadn't co to war with them.

Well, the five of them may have been better than any army.

But then the fact that Hawi didn't tell Malika to brighten her more n from the protector team to fill in the gap left by the murdered Greyson wolves was all they needed to know that if she had wanted a war, she would have co for war.

This ti she had co for answers and slowly she was getting them, even though most of them were unpleasant.

"Because according to the law, she is a banished alpha. She cannot walk through the gates freely and even if she did, she can't stay for long because her father was the one who stopped her.

"The curse he put on her will only ever be lifted if she is found innocent of the cri of killing her mother. And the only way to prove that, is in a setting like the one in which her banishnt was declared and her guilt determined.

"Other than that, going against the forr alpha's demands and could get us the worst of wraths from the ancestors," Asmodeus explained to the wolves who were slowly understanding this too.

They had been too excited to have her ho and learn that she was innocent and that they hadn't gotten the chance to let her know what they thought of her.

Perhaps this evening would be their chance to make that co true for her. Right? This evening, they would free her of the bonds of a pain that she had had to endure for years on end, no?

"If that's so, then we will get to work with the podium and the stage," Theo said and Asmodeus just nodded before dismissing them.

In the distance, Mbali and Elodie were watching and Mbali spoke words that confused the hell out of Elodie.

"I've been watching the man, and I don't trust Asmodeus."
