The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[SICARIO]

"How does it feel to know your mate is dead because he doesn't have his magic?" Alex said once he was down casting the spell.

It was one that even he knew it would take a while for Hudhayfah to snap out of, which was the most hectic a war could ever get for the both of them anyway.

But then what else did Alex have to lose out here when everything was going just as he and Sebastian had planned it?

"Trey isn't dead. I know it," Hudhayfah said defiantly as he looked at the Russel brother who looked like he wanted to do whatever it took to make sure that nothing ever worked for Hudhayfah.

Perhaps it was a cruel thing for him to do, given Hudhayfah was mated to Trey, but then Alex was done. He had been part of the war for so long that he just wanted a break. He wanted to live his life like any normal person would, even if they weren't normal.

It was a reality that would forever haunt him, but it was also a reality that didn't stop him from wanting to reach out and be loved. He deserved love and a family. How long would it take them though?

Or were they only close to the end of it all if the Savasci knights were defeated out here?

"That is true, healer. But then you can't prove it. Anyway, good luck proving to your body and the bond that my brother is alive," Alex said before he blasted one last spell at Hudhayfah, knocking the healer unconscious like a sack of sand.

Elodie, who had been watching this, was so tied up and recharged at Alex. However, Sebastian stopped her and decided that she had become a nuisance too. So, with one last look at Elodie, Seb blasted magic towards the alpha.

It would have worked and it would have been the worst of the games on the battlefield. but then Zane and the Lycans created a barrier around Elodie, effectively shielding her from him, something that the Russels hadn't truly considered.

Well, whatever it was they had failed to do their homework well. Surely they didn't expect a woman who had been able to march with the Lycans on her side to be fragile right?

Besides some of the warriors in reasons had been Lycans since Mbali had decided to go and be on Hawi's side. That was how they were loyal to, and if Sebastian didn't understand that, then he was in for the longest ride of his life.

"Are you okay, alpha?" Adolf asked and Elodie just nodded, even though she was in shock.

She knew he would target her since she was the closest thing to family that he had and she was the one person other than Rukiya who would bring out both Malika and the crazed white wolf out here.

It wasn't going to be easy, but then Sebastian was just getting started, right?

Perhaps the cocks crowing in the distance were the greatest reminder that Sebastian and his army had spent the entire night fighting the crazies and yet none of them had managed to land a hit on any of the Savasci knights.

Granted, Alex may have surprised Hudhayfah with the spell, but even that wasn't able to join Hudhayfah down, because a few minutes after being knocked out, the healer got up and he was filled with so much rage that Seb was scared for a moment there.

"Let's keep fighting," Elodie insisted as she glared at Sebastian who was laughing at them. It wasn't something they were used to, but it sure wasn't something that they would pay any heed to.

These two misfits and their army had invaded their home for some reason and they were done waiting to get the answers from them. And so, with the help of Hudhayfah, the Savasci warriors fought back.

They were doing so well, until Hudhayfah fell down, weak from the impact of the pain he was feeling.

His wolf was mourning their mate and no matter how many terms Hudhayfah tried to think positively and focus on the fact that Trey was alive, the spell was stronger than he had imagined. This would cost them a lot and he knew it.

"I'm so sorry. He cast a spell on me to suffocate my werewolf abilities and now I can't do shit to help. I really am sorry, kids," Hudhayfah sighed as he dragged himself off the battlefield.

There were Russel warriors who tried to come at him, but Zane and the Lycans had had enough. So they put Hudhayfah in a magical barrier close to them.

"You need to keep your magic to win the war. You can't focus on me. I am old and you kids need to live your lives to the fullest," Hudhayfah whined and they just stared at him soflty, while ignoring every word that came out of his mouth.

They were at war and shit always happened but they couldn't lose the one person who had played a key role in helping them fight in the night.

The moon was slowly fading to allow the sun rise and frankly, with the way they were tired, it would have been futile to fight in the dark.

Perhaps the goddess understood that and daybreak came a little too fast even as they kept their ground and fought for everything they loved and believed in.

"How many of our men are fallen?" Elodie asked Theo hours later when the morning sun was hitting their skin. There were several bodies in Sicario that had fallen and thankfully, most of them are the Russel warriors.

This wasn't how they had intended to keep Sicario sacred, but then what was the point of holding on when they had a lot that could go wrong and so fast?

They had to agree that this was a different kind of war and if the fates were on their side, perhaps this would be the last war they would ever have to fight.

Maybe they are thinking too much or maybe they were right to hope for the best. Maybe when the war came to a halt they would have won, right? Oh, how they needed that win so badly.

"Around thirty. The rest are badly injured but will heal after being taken care of,'' Theo said as he fought the warrior before him.

He hated the Russel warriors and he couldn't, for the life of him, think of any reasonable thing that could make anyone in their right mind stand by the crazy family that had probably fucked up the life of everyone including their ancestors.

But hey, they had to have something to give them a reason, right? Besides, it wasn't easy to be accepted into the Greyson or Sicario army. But even that didn't sound like a good enough excuse to mess things up.

"Alright, let's finish this," the lady said as she fought like the rest of the warriors.

However, as she fought her way back to where the stubborn brothers were, Elodie felt her heart sink into her stomach at the sight before her. She had known this was war, but everything that was right before her was insane.

This wasn't how it was supposed to be.

"No… NOOO!!!" Rio cried out suddenly, making the warriors look in their direction.

The sailors were all dead.

All, except for Rio.
