The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance-Chapter 577: Added A Chorus To The Heartbreak Song
[MBALI]
Mbali stared at the empty space that Amina had left. It may have always been like that, but watching Amina leave had her feel some type of way. It was almost like her entire world was coming to a standstill.
It was a reality that she didn’t even know how to explain just yet and it got her curious about what it would mean for her.
She had always loved being in this lonely room because it was the one place that should think of Amina freely; of course, without feeling guilty about the fact that she had just left home and never once tried to reach out to Amina… despite the fact that Amina had been hoping to interact with her again.
Perhaps it was because of the fear of attachment or maybe it was because Mbali wasn’t just sure what the hell she needed to say to the woman. It was something that she had struggled with and not seen like she was sealing her fate.

"Well, that was quick… we just started focusing on the main dish," Mbali heard Hawi say, clearly to Amina who had left while talking about taking Trey with her. The idea wasn’t as bad as Mbali had imagined, but now the fact that she was leaving again, got her having so many questions.
She had fought with all of her just to feel Amina’s presence again just to breathe the woman in and now that she was here, Mbali was being defiant again. She was scared of so many things and the possibility that Amina would betray them again.
The horrors of the Russels were what Mbali had never thought to see past because it was the only thing that stood between her and her apparent spite for Amina Russel. It wouldn’t have any meaning at the end of the day, right?
"We came to check on you, as the werewolf queen. Last night something had changed and it was different, so we had to come and see if there was anything that you needed help with and to reassure Hudhayfah that you were fine," Amina responded curtly.
Her tone was that of respect and admiration for the woman who had killed her entire family, a reality so fucked up that even the goddess hadn’t dared to make sense of. But then this time, that wasn’t what Amina was shaving at the back of her mind.
It was like they had finally seen the horrors that their family had forced the realm into and were hoping for better days. That was the only thing they could truly hope for because at this point in time, love and life were going relative to them.
It wouldn’t matter as much if the werewolf queen went down as they had nothing to hold onto anymore. Maybe that was why Amina was not waiting at Mbali’s side this time. It hurt her heart, but it was something she had to do for both of them.
Amina Russel was keeping her promise to Mbali.
The promise to never make her choose between Amina and her people and even better, the promise to never force her into anything she didn’t want. At the moment, it seems like Mbali didn’t want Amina and Amina had opted to respect that.
She had long been expecting this rejection anyway, Find exclusive stories on novelbuddy
"What do you mean by change?" Hawi asked as she stared at Amina.
She knew what Amina was talking about, but she needed to hear it just to be certain. She was a fool queen after all and if this was about her pretty mate in Hernia, she needed to know what she could do.
There is so much skepticism in Hawi after the conversation with the moon goddess earlier and she was right to not trust anyone this time. The woman couldn’t trust so many fates and feel no remorse for the outcome and it was something the Hawi had learned last night.
She wanted to make sure that her Rukiya was safe and one way of making certain that was the case, was to see to it that no one tried to mess with her Ruru. She would bruise them well and offer no explanation for whatever she did at the time anyway.
"The goddess changed a few fates last night, and it got everyone worried. Your friends in Sicario wanted to come and check on you, but we figured we could come to make sure that all was well.
"Besides, no one would question anything a Russel does, seeing that we do exactly have the best reputation for anything. But people would question what got the Savasci knights out of Sicario for the first time in over three hundred years after you disappeared.
"Then again, the Salvadors are roaming around, and that could put Sicario at risk and the realm at an even greater risk," Amina spoke earnestly.
She literally had nothing left to lose even if he decided to hurt her or import her in a new Cezaevi with the Sifir again. There wasn’t a thing that Hawi could do to ruin her little heart that hadn’t already been done to her.
The only leverage anyone would have had on her would have been Trey, and while that was possible with everyone else it wouldn’t be for the leader of the Savasci knights who adored her knights so much.
Hurting Trey would mean hurting Hudhayfah, which is not something that Hawi would do to the good and kid healer who had given up everything for her.
Perhaps it could have made more sense to say that Amina wouldn’t be endangered because of Mbali, but Mbali didn’t want her around and she had to take her leave as soon as possible.
The longer she stayed around Mbali the more her heart called into her and the more it would hurt her. It was a sacrifice she had to make.
"Oh. That’s interesting. Well. you have seen me doing fine, I assume that is the message you will send to the knights, no?" Hawi asked carefully. She could see the defeat of Amina’s face and she knew that Mbali had to be the reason for that.
She could have tried to intervene, but then mate bonds were sacred and Hawi had no say in the mate bonds of her friends. She didn’t want to be doing anything that could cause a rift.
If anything, she understood the loss and weight of the fury in several mate bonds, so she wouldn’t be the one to fuck things up for the two, or even try to make it all better for them. It would be pointless either way.
"Yes. My brother will do that, as he has a beloved waiting back in Sicario for him. I promised he would go back to Hudhayfah, and we both know the healer will be waiting for him with bated breath," Amina responded softly.
She was happy for her brother and it is obvious in the way that she spoke of Hudhafah being back in Sicario waiting for her brother. That was the only thing that mattered to her right now and she was glad for it, truly and wholeheartedly.
"Won’t you be coming with me, sister?" Trey asked hopefully.
"Of course… I’ll just join you later."
