The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[HAWI]

"Say hello to Razia Greyson, or the dumb fuck who tried to kill my mate," Hawi said.

"Hello, Razia Greyson," the prisoners echoed while Hawi changed.

"I missed you guys, so I brought you someone new. She will be fun to watch and I think it will be motivating for you guys too. I know it's been four years since I last showed up, but at least I didn't leave you dead, right?

"Anyway, while I would love for you to interact for a long time with Razia, she won't be staying with us for long, because she is a part of the team that killed my mother. So, you guys can say your goodbyes later," Hawi said as she cracked her knuckles.

She had been patient with herself and her quest for the truth and even though Razia was glaring at her, Hawi Wasn't going to stop. Until she got to the very bottom of all this. She had to figure it out.

"I'll talk to you guys later. For now, Malika and I will have some little fun with Razia… you guys remember the rules, right?" Hawi asked and Malika stared in silence. She wasn't sure what the fuck was going on here but she would watch.

Maybe that would give her a hint into what they would be doing here. One thing she was certain of was that Hawi was pissed. She was angry and this time, she had someone she would lash out on.

It was a beautiful thing, really and Malika loved this for Hawi.

"Never look away or make a sound when the alpha is torturing one of us," the prisoners echoed.

It was then that Malika knew what had kept the prisoners under her going even though Sicario itself was at war. They had been starved, but there was a ventilation system that got them breathing in essentials.

It was a type of tech that was out of the world and it was probably not even supposed to exist, but then with all the tech in Sicario, this was not news to her. Perhaps this was why everyone was scared of Awuor Hawi.

No one in their right mind would keep prisoners surviving on flavored air. This had to be the cruelest creature Malika had ever seen, but it made her happy at the same time, because Hawi had earned all the titles she had.

It was no wonder that she was an easy choice for the fates.

"Great. Watch and earn as usual," Hawi said as she walked over to where Razia was, in her little cage that had no space for her. Razia was easily suffocating in this hell hole but then would it be better for her to be free to mingle?

Malika sat on one of the seats as she watched. She knew that this was for How to decide on and frankly. She wasn't going to be doing much, unless Hawi asked for her help, which was a long shot, given Hawi could always handle herself.

If the woman had kept this many prisoners under here for years without anyone asking questions, then there had to be more to her. Malika hadn't been one to underestimate and that was also how she knew that she wasn't needed for this mission.

She had only come along because she was her protector and nothing else. But maybe her turn would come, right?

"Hello, Razia," Hawi greeted the Luna again, this time she was standing so close to the bars that were coated with the world's deadliest acid.

It was clear that Razia had taken one too many hits before she realized that everything she did would hurt just her alone. This little cage was the only thing keeping her safe and it was just a matter of time before she no longer was here but what would be the price for that?

"Do your worst," Razia said, as she stood still. Her body was covered in burns from the fluoroantimonic acid and silver components. She looked so terrible but then didn't matter to Hawi.

"I haven't come here to torture you. You know, all this time, you have been here, the cage has been absorbing your magic, and making it easier for me to infiltrate your brain. I know that is not nice, but then I am also not a bad person.

"See… the thing is, I will ask questions and you will answer. For every wrong answer… I'm not sure if you noticed it yet, but the platform your cage is standing on is metallic. So, for every lie, the lie detector will send a current of three hundred volts into your body.

"Since you're all for magic, I'll explain it in magical terms. For every lie, your body will feel like it's being burned by a Lycan fire. We know how those have gone in the previous years. Let's spare each other the lies, right?

"Anyway, the choice is yours… I have all the time in the world," Hawi said as she grabbed a chair and sat on the right in front of Razia. All attention was on Hawi and Razia, like Hawi had demanded, and it was finally time to play the game.

"We'll have a test run, so you know what it means, okay?" Hawi said and Razia stared at her blankly, a bored face like Razia was certain that all of this didn't scare her. But then would she be saying the same thing when Hawi began toying with her?

Malika had seen Hawi become one with her wolf in the past two weeks and the rage that had surfaced, was not just for one person. There were so many links to it, and right now, Hawi was changing all of that.

The times she saw her mother cry herself to sleep.

The times she saw her father struggle to lead a pack, a task that shouldn't have been hard.

The times she watched as Jeremiah ran the pack to the ground.

There were so many things that she had witnessed and had come to terms with, but losing all the people in her family had to top that list. Maybe Hawi would have a change of heart?

"I'll start with the simplest one… it should be easy to answer, seeing as you're not that bad a person. Did you kill my brother, Dominic Sicario?" Hawi asked and Malika let out an involuntary gasp.

There was just no way that Hawi considered that a simple question. It just didn't make any sense, unless Hawi was sure that Razia Greyson hadn't been the one who murdered her brother.

If that was so, then Razia wouldn't be shocked by the electricity, right? Well, that was supposed to be relaxing but it got Malika on the edge of her seat. Things were about to go south real fast and she had to be ready to clean up whatever mess followed.

"You are crazy," Razia said and Hawi smiled with relief on her face. Maye that was a yes for her, but then it wasn't an answer. If Razia was so confident, then she should have responded with a 'yes', right?

"Come on Razia… this is a yes or no question. So… did you kill my brother?" Hawi asked again.

"No. I didn't kill your brother," Razia said, only for her to be shocked by thousands of electric voltages at the same time.

"No way," Hawi whimpered in realization.
