The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[JER]

"I am still the Alpha. No matter what you want to say. You recognize Malika as your luna, don't you? She was my mate, if you need reminders," KJer said and the wolves stared like they were hearing things.

This man was clearly so desperate that he was willing to make the battle out of nothing. He knew well that that wasn't his position, But maybe if they knew why He was so willing to fight for that position they wouldn't understand, right?

"Fine. How about we put this to a people's vote, instead of being sick freaks in this moment?" Jer said and Elodie stared at him like he and truly lost his mind. He couldn't seriously be thinking he would win whatever vote there was, right?

"Okay, great. What the fuck do you want a vote on, your royal highness?" Elodie said, his voice mocking her Alpha. She never recognized him, But then with all that had happened, everyone would always assume Jer was the Sicario Alpha.

There wasn't much they could consider because, at this moment, the Alpha was determined to split the Sicario army for his benefit. But would it really work? And if it did then what would they do?

"The rightful Alpha. Me or that white wolf psycho who murdered her mother?" Jer said and the wolves let out gasps. Luna Eniola's death was one they had never really made peace with. Almost four years had gone by but the pain was the same.

Her absence had left a dent in their lives, the kid that no one would ever be able to fill. It was the kind of pain that nothing would ever sort out for them and honestly, it creeped them out.

The idea that Hawi had been proven to be her mother's murderer was not forgotten. Maybe the wolves were angry, but what else could they do? Luna Eniola was their hope and as much as they wanted Hawi back, she had taken Eniola away from them.

"You can't be serious. You know she didn't kill her mother. You more than anyone know the facts of that day," Elodie said, and Jer let out a knowing scoff. He was aware that this would be a low blow, but then he had been out of options for a while now.

"Oh please. She was found with her claws retracting her mother's neck. If she didn't kill her then why did she plead guilty? The Awuor we know would never submit to what she didn't do. So why did she submit?

"Are you taking the side of a murderer who brought the entire Sicario crashing? Think of the alliances we lost because we had a murderer for an Alpha. We would have been stronger than Greyson, more powerful, and at the top as usual.

"But she cost us that. If that is the same person you stand there and defend, then there is no difference between you and her. She was a murderer four years ago, and that has changed since.

"If she was alive the whole time, why didn't she contest her father's decision? Why wait till her father was dead for her to come home? Besides, how the fuck would we know that she didn't kill her father?

"The bitch is the white fowl, an insane creature of anger and hate but yeah, let's pretend it's my fault for everything. You keep forgetting that Jabali Lihle, the warrior who tore our Luna's womb out, was on your precious Hawi's team.

"But of course, I'm the devil here right?' Jer said and the warriors went silent. Theta had been angry and had been antigen to usurp the man, But then what other option was there for them?

They couldn't take Hawi back given she was guilty of crimes against Sicario. Even if Hawi came to Sicario, and willingly walked through the gates without war, she would still be on a second trial to determine why she went to war with her people.

She had been banished for good reason and she hadn't fought back, without even thinking of what that would mean. She should have tried to come clean and clear her name, But Hawi hadn't once bothered to do it.

That in itself left Elodie in a demand she didn't need the warriors to spell it out, for her to know that they would keep backing the dumb alpha they were given. It wasn't something that they could pretend was real.

This had happened and the sooner they came to terms with it, the better it would be for everyone. But what if there was another way to clear Hawi's name and get her back her army, the one she trained with her blood sweat and tears?

What if there was a shortcut that would work for them, would they explore it? Would they be open to facing that truth? Or would it be useless for Hawi, given she was soon to be the crowned wolf that ruled the entire realm?

There were so many questions, but Elodie was sure she would never get her answers anytime soon, not like this. Funny how they had woken up to rebel against Jer only for them to fall right onto his lap defending him.

"I don't think there is a new way to vote. With all the truths, as much as we want to deny it, Jet remains the Alpha. We can't have a murderer for an Alpha. At least the incompetent one might pull up his socks.

"Alpha Awuor is crazy and psychotic and is easily the most powerful creature in the realm, and now. If she never bothered to come clear her name after all this time it is more than obvious that she wouldn't be bothered to.

"We need to move forward. The wards at the borders are keeping everyone out of Sicario, But only because we are a target for the Greysons. Rukiya Greyson is at the gates with her warriors.

"It's hard to tell what they want, really, But I donut it's to make peace. So, before we lynch the only power we have right now, we need to be ready for when the Greysons attack us again, because they are ready to breach.

"Everyone Should get some rest but stay alert. You all are dismissed," Theo said in his enforcer's voice, making the wolves bow and leave.

They knew that Theo was the one peon who could command the army and if he was on Jer's side, then there was nothing that could be done by anyone, not even the beta, Elodie Kane.

"You know she is coming for your head. She knows you killed her mother. She knows about your dealings with the Russels. Why the fuck do you think Razia didn't bother to come?

"Because Razia Greyson is not even in Greyson, or with her brothers. She is missing, and while you're dumb, I doubt you need someone to remind you of what is coming. Don't bother yourself with banishing me.

"I quit, as your beta. I am loyal to Hawi, and won't shift loyalties like Theo here," Elodie said as she put her weapons down, before she spoke words that would haunt Jer for the rest of his life.

"Malika… baby, I'm ready to come home," Elodie said and right there and then, Malika showed up with a smirk on her face, making Her stare in shock.

"Took you long enough, sweetheart... Fuck, I missed you," Malika said as she captured Eldie's lips with hers, ignoring the mess they had probably created.
