The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

However, things only got worse between the mother and daughter. Razia was mad that her daughter wasn\'t letting go of the idea of Hawi in their home, no matter what Razia did.

The woman blamed her daughter for Draffin\'s death, made Rukiya feel like all of this was her fault, which was true, but at the same time, she made it seem like the girl was an ungrateful little shit that didn\'t appreciate whatever she had done for her.

It was a long period for the young Greyson alpha. She hated what this had turned into and she believed her mother over time. She blamed herself for her father\'s downfall and her mother made sure to press it in her head to the point that Rukiya believed it.

Maybe she was weak for that, but her mother was powerful and unhinged on so many levels. Razia was not going to stop. And she was pushing her daughter to the edge of the cliff. If Adolf didn\'t exist in the girl\'s life, then she would be long gone.

As her daughter wasn\'t giving up on the Sicario girl, Razia went to her brothers for help. She was sure their methods wouldn\'t exactly be the best, but she knew that only they would help her out with ease and keep everything going.

"That child of yours is becoming a pain in our asses, Razia. There is still time to kill her without her bonding with the Sicario girl," Razia\'s elder brother, Atticus, said as he looked at his sister and their brothers.

There were so many risks coming along and they hated that they would be in growing danger.

"What about Awuor Sicario? Can\'t we just kill that girl and not my daughter? Besides, there isn\'t much Eniola can do at the moment, seeing as she is determined to keep her daughter\'s identity from everyone—" Razia began, and her brothers chuckled.

"Except you," Atticus scoffed at his sister and her line of thinking.

"Exactly. We can do away with her this early and get this all over and done with. No one will need to know and I\'ll be consoling and comforting Eniola soon enough. Eventually, her pain will fade off and her loss will be something she gets accustomed to.

"Come on Atticus. You know this is the easiest way out for us," Razia said as she looked at her brothers. She wanted to save her daughter and she wanted to eliminate Hawi. It was the only way that things would make sense for her.

She couldn\'t afford to lose her daughter and her husband again. It was like going through the cycle of grief over and over and over. And she was bound to lose her mind sooner or later.

Maybe if the universe was kind to her, she would know what to expect, but goddamn, all of this was fucking with her mind.

"That\'s an interesting line of thought, Razia. However, you don\'t think the girl the fates have been waiting for for over a thousand years could be killed that easily huh? She is the saving grace of this godforsaken realm and she is the true danger to us.

"No blade, no matter how powerful, can eliminate her. Your daughter, on the other hand, is the only way for her to thrive or lose her mind. So, unless you can keep your sweet Rukiya out of the way;

"—And make sure that she doesn\'t mate with the Sicario girl, the mission stays and your daughter dies. I\'m sorry, sister. But this is nothing personal, you should know that," Atticus said and Razia could feel her mind going awry with everything.

She couldn\'t believe that she would lose again. What the hell was she supposed to do other than hope to the goddess that everything would be alright?

There was only so much she could hope and pray before everything fell apart. And it was all coming apart so fast that she hadn\'t even had time to breathe.

"What if… What if we find a mate for the Sicario girl? We have magic, we can forge the bond. My daughter wouldn\'t be Awuor\'s mate if the girl is already mated to someone else, right?

"A man specifically, so it seems like my daughter will never stand a chance with the wild girl. What do you guys think?" Razia asked and her brother chuckled darkly.

Their sister was desperate and knowing Razia, they knew she would do whatever it took to make sure her daughter lived. She was trying to thwart the fates, but maybe, just maybe, this time the fates would let them be, right?

"Are you serious right now? The white wolf getting another mate, and that too a male? Damn, Razia," one of the brothers said with a laugh.

The desperation was eating Razia out and they could see how fucked up she was getting with every minute that passed. They wanted to feel bad for her, but then there was nothing that could be done to save her or her daughter.

Then again, there was no harm in trying, yeah?

"Yes. None of the books only talk of the white wolf\'s mate being female. Besides, we can make it seem like he is the only mate she can get and spread the rumors about the white wolf having only one true mate and no second-chance mates.

"That will make our work easier," Razia explained and it made sense to her brothers.

"Alright, sister. The cards are in our hands. Make sure this shit works or we will come for your daughter," Atticus said.

Razia just nodded before she left and went to look for a replacement for her daughter. She refused to lose Rukiya and if she had to fight the fates for her then she would definitely do it.

If she would lose this fight then she wouldn\'t lose jets because she didn\'t try, but she would lose because she tried and couldn\'t win. That was much better than anything she could think of then.

In her desperation, Razia went to the free lands and found a rogue kid on the street. She didn\'t give the kid a chance to defend himself, but instead, she gave him an offer that no one would ever let go of.

It was a dangerous offer, but Jer was desperate to get off the streets and have a home for himself, which was also why he didn\'t have a problem with the shadow warlocks manipulating the white wolf\'s mate bond and having him replace Rukiya.

The only price Jeremiah Warner was to pay for the new life he had gotten for himself and his family that had been shipped off to the humans, was that he would do as he was told, regardless of who he was pointed towards.

All he had to do was obey commands and he would be safe along with those he loved. Everything was going on well and even when Hawi was crowned the Sicario alpha, there was nothing out of the ordinary, until there suddenly was.

"Kill Dominic Sicario," Luna Razia said to Jer six years into the deal.
