Chapter 325: No One Can Hurt You When I’m Around
[HAWI]
"Alpha Jeremiah, do you swear on the goddess to tell the truth, and nothing but the truth here and now?" Asmodeus asked and Jer looked at Hawi, a permanent smirk on his face, almost like this was something he could get used to.
"Of course. I do. Besides, I would hate to watch my pretty little mate here go through this alone, yeah?" Jer said as he walked over to where Hawi was and kissed her on the cheeks, earning a loud warning growl from Rukiya Greyson.
No one was allowed to touch the love of her life and if they wanted to run Sicario into a bloodbath, then Jeremiah Warner needed to get himself under control before Rukiya Greyson did that for them.
She was never going to hold back when it came to Hawi and the fact that he was doing this to spite Hawi made Rukiya want to snap his neck. The bastard may have been immortal but just like the immortal shadow warlocks, he could be killed.
And that was frankly the best idea that Rukiya Greysin had gotten at the moment, even as she got up and walked over to where Hawi was, ignoring the protest by Malika, Mbali, and Elodie.
Hell, even Hudhayfah and Sherry were scared of saying shit to her. They weren't sure there was ever going to be a thing anyone could do to Hawi without Rukiya trying to murder them and right now, Jeremiah Warner was testing the Greyson alpha's patience.
"Lips off my mate, Jeremiah, unless you want me to show you what murder can look like. Your people mean nothing to me, but they sure do mean something to my beautiful mate. And that makes her the only reason you are still all here and alive.
"You try that shit again and I swear on my dead mother, who was your accomplice, that I will burn Sicario to the ground and no one will do shit about it. Try me again, Jeremiah, and watch me take something that you will never recover," Rukiya warned, her voice cold.
She was never going to compromise and Jeremiah Warner testing her patience was a stupid idea because if she snapped and it was because of Hawi, Rukiya wouldn't give up control until she was certain that her woman was safe.
Right now, her Hawi didn't seem safe to her and she was ready to kill them all for her.
"Alpha Greyson—" Asmodeus said, his body trembling at the wang Rukiya Greyson had given. He knew the woman and he knew she would kill him and not even bother questioning him.
He was aware of the menace that was the Greyson girl and he couldn't be the first kill of the day for her. He just wasn't ready for that, maybe that was why he brought his seat next to Hawi's and taped it for Rukiya to sit there.
The Sicario wolves were watching in shock as the events unfolded. They had been aware of Rukiya's love for Hawi and while many thought it was just a fling, this right here was more than they imagined.
Only a true mate would feel offended if someone touched their mate without consent, which was exciting and thrilling at the same time because he knew all this shit and yet he still went on with it.
It was like he wanted to show the Sicario wolves that Hawi could snap. But then it backfired on him because Awuor Hawi hadn't even bothered to give him the slightest bit of attention, other than pity him.
Rukiya Greyson on the other hand was insane and they were painstakingly aware of the woman who treated humans like a butcher would any meat. She was cruel, she was brutal and right now she was determined to protect the woman she loved.
Hells be damned, she wouldn't let anyone lay a hand on her mate.
"Please have a seat, alpha Greyson," Asmodeus said and Rukiya glared at him as if to ask him what his game was. She didn't really care about whatever would come out of his mouth, but if it was something that could trigger her to kill him;
Then she was open to hearing the damn bastard out, because only the goddess could stop & Rukiya Greyson from defending that which was hers, and right now, if she so much as heard a whimper from Hawi… Sicario would burn.
"Are you alright, baby? Do I need to start off with him?" Rukiya asked as she got out a wet wipe and wiped off Hawi's cheeks where Jer had placed his lips on. Damn, she hated Jer with a passion that superseded her belief in life.
That man made her want to commit sins that even the realm would worry for her sanity on her behalf, but then she didn't care, as long as her Hawi was alright. She wasn't going to let them hurt Hawi just because the girl was letting them have this.
"You're here… you're all that matters to me," Hawi said softly as she let Rukiya clean her face up.
She was aware of how feral Ruru could get if she didn't let her cleanse the scent of Her and to make the mattress even more interesting, Ruru got out her tank top and put it on Hawi, making the crowd stare in disbelief.
Either this woman was crazy… which was true, or she just didn't have that high tolerance for anyone who fucked with her woman. Hawi was surprised as she stared at Ruru with excited eyes but she felt brave this time.
She loved that Rukiya wasn't compromising and frankly, it made her heart beat a little better. With the tank top off, Rukiya Greyson was put on a gym bra, only even as her upper body was out there for the entire Sicario to see.
However, whatever she had done didn't bother her. She had so many scars on her body, scars that wanted Sicario. Scars that reminded that pack not to try shit, because she herself had seen death and survived.
And she wasn't scared of going at it again, for Awuor Sicario.
"If you feel uncomfortable, let me know. We will get out of here. I don't care if they try to come at you. I will handle them. I'm here, baby. For you, and they all need to remember that I won't hesitate to kill them all for you," Rukiya said and Hawi just needed to.
She had seen Rukiya Greyson be protective but this was more than what she had imagined and she loved it. She loved that Rukiya cared enough to stand up for her when the people were staring at her with judgy faces.
She loved that her Ruru had meant it when she had sworn to protect her from everyone including her people. Oh, how Hawi felt loved at the moment. Granted she had been ready to face everything, but with Rukiya at her side, she was more than ecstatic.
"I will, Jaberna," Hawi said as she held Ruru in a soft headlock before they pulled apart and Rukiya dally sat on the chair that Asmodeus had given her earlier. Well, they now knew what to expect.
"Great," Ruru said as she kissed Hawi on the lips, a full-on kiss like she was reminding everyone who didn't already know who Hawi belonged to.
And Hawi didn't fight the kiss.
She gave in.
