The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[SICARIO]

"What's happening?" Mbali asked.

"The protective domes are coming down," Elodie stated in surprise. Stay updated with empire

The Sicario dome had been active for more than a year now and it was impossible for it to come down. The fact that it was down when they were right in the middle of a war was something that they needed to think of.

There was just no way that they had to deal with this too. So hurriedly, the five knights stepped out of Mbali's room to see for themselves what the fuck was going on. This wasn't part of the plan and they were all confused as to why in all hell it was happening.

Perhaps there was a better explanation, right?

"What could have triggered this?" Mbali wondered when she stepped out along with the Sicario wolves. They were all having the same confusion on their faces as the warriors readied themselves for a war that was probably inbound.

The dome had been held together by Hawi and the first instinct was for everyone to assume that he was a goner now, but was that relaying it? Was the Sicario alpha relay dead or was there something that they were not understanding?

Perhaps they needed to find a solution to this, but how else were they to do that? Why didn't they even know what had made this into what it was at the moment?

"First the blood rain and now the dome is coming down."

"Is Alpha Awuor okay?"

"What if the alpha is dead?"

"She is immortal, she can't die."

"Then what is happening?"

"Maybe the royals will let us know."

The ongoing whispers and murmurs weren't making it any easier for the Savasci knights, they had never seen anything like this and no matter how hard they racked their brains, they wouldn't make sense of it.

"Is Hawi really dead?" Hudhayfah dared to ask as he looked at Elodie and Rukiya who were more closely linked to Hawi than they all were.

If Hawi was dead then the spell cast on Elodie would be weak and she would start feeling queasy, and Rukiya Greyson would rage but then none of that was happening to them.

It was like they were living in a dysfunctional side of the realm, one in which they had to decide whether to keep the fight or if they wanted to save themselves.

But then even if they saved themselves and if Hawi was truly dead, the realm wouldn't be livable for anyone. It would mean the Russels won and the realm would burn, quite literally.

That was not anyone's wish at the moment and it didn't help that they were desperately clinging onto whatever was left of hope for them.

"No, she isn't. The mate bond is still active," Rukiya said before she turned to Adolf, "do you know anything about this? Isn't it strange that you came back to life and all of these strange things are happening?"

Adolf wanted to say that he knew nothing of this, but as he looked at the crowd that was forming around the leaders, he knew that he had to speak or let Sicario burn with uncertainty.

That in itself wouldn't mean well for anyone because if it happened then the world would feel the wrath of Awuor Hawi, which was not on anyone's bucket list ever.

The woman was like a butcher and people did love their lives a little too much to even sit by and watch it happen.

"There is no need for the dome anymore," Fold said and they looked at him like he had lost his mind since he had lived in the dungeons for the, longest time. Maybe he was right, but what if he wasn't?

What if all of this was just a part of some game with the fates to see how they would cope? Would it make them feel any better about the madness that was soon going to ensue?

"Speak clearly, brother. This ain't the time for you to thrust us into riddles and whatnots. What the fuck is going on?" Rukiya asked impertinently as she looked at Adolf while the rest of the Savasci knights including Drew looked at her curiously.

She hadn't even realized it yet but her words had made Adolf's eyes soften, like they were the breath of life that the Greyson beta had been shopping for. It was almost like insanity but what else was there?

"What is it now?" Rukiya asked and they just sighed.

"You called him your brother. You haven't done that for a long time, not even when you talked about him in his passing," Elodie said.

Rukiya stared at Adolf who was looking at her like this was new for them. Perhaps this was the reminder of a life that would be better for them right? At the end of the day, they were a team, weren't they?

"That doesn't matter right now. Can we all focus on the mess that we are staring at?" Rukiya said and Adolf just smiled sadly. He knew this was too big to be easy for the lot of them but what else could they do if they hadn't managed to outlive the chaos?

"The dome is down because you finally have faith in yourselves and understand what it means to have someone rely on you and what you are fighting for. You aren't scared of what is coming anymore and you are the army Hawi trusted for the longest time.

"You can fight for the home you believe in and you don't have to be waiting for Hawi to come and save you. The army is finally ready to make things right for Sicario and the realm.

"You have eventually found the missing element in the chaos that you all lived in. I guess my work here is done," Adolf said and they looked at him like he was bonkers.

It was almost like they were in some sort of reality that was a little too fucked up for them to even understand how the hell they had gotten here.

"What does that even mean?" Drew asked earnestly, the confusion on his face clear.

"I've been out of the training sessions for the longest time, and I can't be as useful to the realm as I was when I was beside my alpha. I have to step up my training and Malika said to leave when the dome was down, so I could go to Olyana.

"She told me they would train me for three weeks and after that I would be fit for the battlefield. I will be back, so you don't have to worry about me. Meanwhile, you can decide on what you want to do with the new reality that is here.

"You can go join Hawi and the crazies on the sacred island, or you can wait to fight the Russel army that is coming to Sicario. They have been on their way for months now and they are almost here. They tried to invade the other camps and failed.

"Their numbers have dwindled because of the formidable army that they were met with, so the number that will reach here might be less than the million soldiers that were sent to eliminate Sicario.

"I can only wish you all the best in this war. I'll see you soon.," Adolf said before adding, "I'm ready." with that the warriors watched as a portal opened and Adolf went through it, leaving the knights wondering what the fuck happened.
