The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

He knew it would change her perspective of her mother and finally, that wasn't the intention of all this. He simply wanted to give her an insight on what to expect and the enemies that would be after her, for as long as she was standing beside Hawi all the time.

Maybe it would be best for Hawi to let her go, but then RUkiya Greyson was in love so there was just no way that would happen. So with one more sigh, Hudhayfah started off, from where he had left before Adolf interrupted them.

This time he hoped that there would be a better way to explain to the young Greyson that all of this was never her fault and that if there was one person who could take out Razia Greyson, then it would be the wild girl in her bed.

"I'll need you to just listen without any interruptions, Rukiya. You can ask your questions later and you must promise that you won't throw things around. It will be distracting to me and I might be taken off course, yeah?" Hudhayfah said.

Rukiya looked at the healer and she wondered what it was that he had to say and how intense it had to be for him to tell her upfront that there could be messes that triggered her. But then she needed the truth, so she would wait, right? But would it really be worth it?

"Okay. I won't do anything," Rukiya said and Hudhayfah just nodded understandingly, even though he hoped that she would be able to keep her cool through all of this. It would be a little too hard for her, but she had to wait it out.

[Twenty-Five Years Ago]

Just like every other mother out there, Razia Greyson was an excited new mother.

She had dreamt of this day for years on end and when she met her mate, she was happy that her dream had closed in on her. It was something she had prayed for four years. So, when the nurse brought her child to her, she was happy.

"Congratulations, Luna Razia, she's beautiful," the pack nurse said to Luna who was smiling from ear to ear. It had been a long day in the delivery room, but if she had to do it again, she would. She loved the kid in her hands so much it was moving her to tears.

"Oh, there she goes, crying again," Alpha Draffin teased with a laugh when he saw his Luna's tears free fall. They were tears of joy, tears that made her happy that finally, she was a mother and she brought life into the world.

"She's so pretty," Razia said as she wiped her tears, looking at her child with warm eyes of appreciation. She may have been tired but the kid in her arms made it all worth it and for that she was grateful.

"You can hold her later, dear. You need some rest, the nurse will take her back and then bring her later, hmm?" Alpha Draffin said and Razia hazily nodded. She was tired, way too tired and she wanted to rest. But she had wanted to see her child.

So, when the nurse took the baby barely minutes after handing her over Razia felt a sigh of relief and excitement. She had a child. However, in the process of taking black the child. The little hat that was on her head fell and Razia stilled.

"Oh, my apologies," the nurse said as she scrambled to get the hat and put it back on the kid.

"Her tattoo is perfect. I guess we are the parents of the white wolf's mate, my dear Razia," Alpha Draffin said with pride as the nurse walked away with their kid. However, Razia wasn't sure what to do anymore.

She had been so happy about her child.

She was glad that she had a kid, and really wanted to be with her for a long time. But then the tattoo her daughter was born with wasn't the greatest reminder to her. Instead, it was like a curse that thrust her back to the harsh reality of their worst fears.

At least hers and her brothers' worst fears. She refused to believe that her child, the baby she had loved from birth, was going to be the same reason her family was shredded.

Surely fate could not be that cruel to her, right?

"Fuck," Razia cursed as she clutched her heart in pain. She could feel her heart ripping to shreds because of this new finding and it broke her heart to think that her child was going to be the very reason her family was no more.

"Are you okay, my love?" Alpha Draffin asked and Razia just nodded as she hugged herself on the bed. She looked tired and Alpha Draffin figured that she didn't want to see him. If anything, she had been in labor for hours, so she deserved the time alone.

"I'll be out the door if you need my love," Alpha Draffin said and once again, Razia felt her heart shattered. She loved Draffin. She wanted to live with the man and she was happy with him. But how was she supposed to explain this to him?

How was she to explain to her husband and the mate she loved that their child would most probably be their doom? Her mixed emotions got her bed shaking and it was in gentle waves, but Razia knew what that meant.

Her own magic was stirring up so she would go and do whatever was necessary, and in this case, it would be for her to kill her daughter. Maybe if she killed her while she was still young, she wouldn't have to deal with the pain of mourning a grown child, right?

Razia was born in a family of warlocks, more specifically the shadow warlocks. He was a warlock hybrid, and she had hidden that fact for years on end because she didn't want the Greysons to think she was a danger to them.

Sure, she really was a danger to them, but maybe if she stayed with the werewolf Luna they needed, none of them would ever get to know how true she truly was, right? Well, she could fool everyone, but she couldn't fool the Greyson healer, Hudhayfah.

"Razia, are you okay? Draffin said you needed to get some rest and he went to the pack. But I heard shaking. Tell me, child, were you the cause of it?" Hudhayfah asked as he looked at the frail woman on the bed.

He had long known that she had magic and he had kept quiet because the woman had not done anything that they needed to worry about. If anything, their lives had been smooth without magic, so there was no cause for concern, right?

"How would I cause shaking when I just gave birth, Hudhayfah?" Razia asked irritably as she looked beyond Hudhayfah as if to try and see if someone else was out there but she couldn't see anyone. So, she relaxed.

"You are a Russell warlock, child. Of course, your magic would have to bring back the energy you used to birth the white wolf's mate."
