The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance Chapter 56: The Silence Before The Storm

[AWUOR]

"She's driving you nuts, isn't she?" Adolf said as he looked pitifully at Malika.

"You tell about it. But not for long, I know that. I won't put up with her shit for long. At this rate, I'm gonna grow older than her because simply dealing with her is a pain in my ass. I wish I had let my father take her alone.

"But then I just had to be the dutiful grandchild, and now I'm stuck with her, like he's so rag doll I need to deal with too. I'm so close to abandoning her here with you, y'know,'' Malika ranted, believing that Adolf sighed and sat on the ground next to Malika.

He looked like he had wanted to rant to soone too, because of the pressures that ca with being Rukiya's beta. Then again, their lives were not even entwined yet and they had started making faces.

What would they do when the won they were tasked with protecting went bonkers, huh?

"I actually understand you. I have a woman driving nuts too," Adolf said and Malika just sighed.

"At least yours is not an old hag who still has days of travel ahead of her and doesn't even want to make a move.

"Talking of my devil, Is she asleep?" Malika asked Adolf who was watching her curiously like he was trying to see whether there was a relationship between the woman and the old hag back there.

Of course there was and even if there wasn't, it would be hard to tell whether there was any, given how they had first t.

"She's asleep, and we'll build her a shelter, so don't worry. Hudhayfah and I will help you out. Anyway, I'm Adolf," the Greyson beta greeted like he was talking about it as an act of faith.

He wanted to know Malika better but what were the chances that they knew each other would spark more than they could offer each other?

"I'm Malika," the protector said and Adolf looked at her with a smile.

Malika could see that Adolf found the na failure for so reason. However, she hoped that for their sake, Adolf didn't prod even more, because he wouldn't like the answers he was looking for at the mont.

"Well Malika, it's nice to et you. Co on, let's get your nana a good place to rest for the night," Adolf said and Malika looked at him, like she was studying him.

Of course, she was, she was watching him, ready to pounce on him the mont he beca a threat to her and what she cared about.

She was ready to teach him a lesson into the unknown if he so much as looked at Hawi the wrong way, but then maybe it wasn't Adolf she decided to worry about. Maybe it was Hawi she needed to worry about because the woman was unpredictable as hell.

She was a crazy one and who was to tell what she had done when Malika had gone out to take a breather, right?

"Yeah, let's get going," Malika said as she walked back to the shelter. She wasn't sure what she had been expecting, but Rukiya and Hudhayfah looking at Awuor with a murderous glare just wasn't it. It was almost like they were determined to give the woman a hard ti.

"You said she was sleeping!" Malika said accusingly to Adolf who was equally shocked to see Hawi awake and ready to fight Rukiya and Hudhayfah.

The prisoners who were in the room had kept their distance, almost like they own the wolf woman wouldn't hesitate to beat them to a pulp if they so much as looked at her the wrong way. She looked like she wanted to beat them all up though which wasn't comforting at all.

"She was when I left her!" Adolf defended and Malika just sighed before rushing to Awuor.

"What is it this ti nana? What is wrong with you?" Malika asked and Awuor glared at her, like she was about to cause even more drama. Oh, but the banished alpha was enjoying making Rukiya's life miserable.

Now that Awuor had confird that Rukiya wasn't a hostile toward her, she was going to use that to her advantage. There was sothing about Rukiya's dedication to finding Awuor that made Hawi even more curious.

No one in their right mind would seek out a banished alpha and yet the Greyson alpha was here looking for Awuor, even when she knew the dangers of going against the Sicarios.

It was a death trap for her people, but Rukiya was determined to see it to the end. She was going to make sure she got her answers.

But what answers were those anyway?

"They were carrying to a different shelter!" Hawi whined and Malika felt like she was too close to spanking the white wolf a little too hard on the head. This woman was being an ass and they both knew it. However, Malika just smiled at the woman before turning to Rukiya.

"Honestly, she's your problem now. I am done with her. I will be out there in the shelter if you need for anything but her. I have dealt with her long enough and I need to get so sleep too. Deal with her for the night alright?

"I'll take over tomorrow," Malika said as she walked out of the shelter, not looking back. She was so done with her white wolf's antics and needed to get so sleep.

Granted she wouldn't exactly be sleeping because she was always going to be alert and on the lookout for anything related to the wolf assigned to her, but she needed to see what the trio would do to Hawi.

"This little--" Hawi began as she stumbled backwards, and fell on her butt on the ground.

Adolf held back the urge to laugh knowing so well that this woman was probably going to make his life even more difficult than she was already making Malika's life, but that was not going to be so for long, yeah?

"Great. Now her grandchild also left us with her. Hudhayfah, please shut her up and put her to sleep, alright?" Rukiya said, having had enough of the woman.

Maybe she would be better off with a silent old hag than one that made her life a little more difficult than it already was.

Hudhayfah did as he was told, and even cast a sleeping spell on Awuor. Once they were convinced that Hawi was sleeping, they turned back to the prisoners who were still amused that the old hag hadn't given Grayson much of an option.

"Where can I find alpha Awuor? I know she's not dead. The sooner you get those answers the sooner you find your way back to your people," Rukiya said, her tone going from defeat to that of the alpha.

She was so used to it and would take every chance to use it. And right now she was the pissed alpha, the alpha whose assets had been killed by the rebellious group determined to fight for Awuor.

It was crazy how these people are committed but at the sa ti, it was comndable because no one in their right mind would fight for a dead alpha, right?

"Why, so you can hurt her too?"
