The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[AWUOR]

"Wow. Who would have thought that Kane would be at the forefront of it all?" Hawi asked in an unsurprised tone as she watched her father and her brother team up.

She had expected them to be on the same side. After all, they had been birds of the same feather, right? But would that explain the chuckle that came through again?

Hawi could tell that the person who was chuckling constantly was familiar and she wanted to put a name to the voice, but then maybe she was wrong.

Maybe it was In her head.

However, was it a coincidence for the second time?

"Anyway, do your worst," Hawi said as she looked at her father and brother.

She was angry, fuming, and even wanted out of there, but she was also Sicario to know why her family had faked Dom's death. It wasn't a daily routine in the Sicario family and Hawi could tell that there was more to this.

She knew her brother way better than anyone did, and she knew her family that well too.

Granted, she had been unable to understand why they had done that to their mother but there was no denying the fact that everything that had led them to this point, just didn't add up.

People never changed overnight and no amount of convincing would make Hawi believe the farce that was before her.

Was it a farce though, or was Hawi just desperate to have her family back, now that they all were in the same place?

Was that what it would take for her to get justice for her mother, a woman who had fought tooth and nail to protect their family only to be betrayed by the same family?

"You'll see, once we find the mole we are looking for," Dom said confidently as he looked at his sister.

The young Sicario wasn't sure whether to be happy or sad that Hawi was alive. He was conflicted on so many things but then he wasn't about to divulge that to the woman he didn't even believe was his sister.

Months after the supposed death of his sister, Dominic Sicario had mourned for her, he had mourned for the sister he loved and looked up to. He had mourned for the sister who had been there for him.

He mourned for the girl who had stood by him even when he was in trouble. Granted, they had sibling rivalries, but that never got to the point where Dom wanted Hawi dead. He had always wished her all the best.

He wanted his sister to win, but then when she killed their mother, she had broken a piece of him that wanted her home. He had been distraught when Hawi had been banished, but he had felt the worst when his sister died.

Seeing her here was just more than what he could take, but he wouldn't show that to Hawi, especially since he wasn't certain that the woman before him was the same sister he had felt had died.

That would be too cruel, even for him, a man who had loved his sister with all of him. However, that also raised the question of what he was doing when their mother was murdered by his sister.

Were Hawi's findings the truth? Then again, what did Hawi find, other than being forced into different realities, like someone was willing to pay a huge price to get her out of the Sicario businesses?

Someone was hiding the truth about what had happened to Eniola Sicario and that was the one thing Hawi had long concluded even though he always kept hoping for better days when the truth would come before she got her revenge.

"Have a good chat with the blade there, sis. Must be nice dying and coming back. Papa and I will have some fun watching from a distance," Dom said as he sent his sister flying kisses before he followed his father out.

"These damned bastards," Hawi said angrily as she tried to position herself in the chamber. The blades were messing with her but she knew she had to be strong enough to know what the fuck had just happened.

Her brother was supposed to be dead. There was a whole ass funeral wake for the guy and yet he was here. Of course, she was also painfully aware that her brother wasn't the man he had grown up with, but what else was there for her when she was trapped?

She had felt Malika and Rukiya try to re-open her mind links with them, however, she hadn't let them. She couldn't, not when she was in such a state. If only she knew that Rukiya was feeling every bit of pain that she was feeling.

Oh, Hawi.

"Heard that!" Dom said and Hawi just snickered.

Some things never did change with her brother.

Leaving his sister's mini-prison, Dom walked to the farthest end of the prison. The one place the prisoner who was worth a lot sat in. It was a dark section of the dungeons, though that didn't seem to matter to the young Sicario.

The prisoner in the farthest end was as a man in his mid-forties, a man who had objected to everything Dom had been doing his whole life. He looked like he would choose death over this, but then that wasn't the kind of mercy that Dom was interested in.

Before Dom could say a word to the guy, Jer showed up. He looked like he had been having some businesses to attend to, more like Dom's wake and whatnot. But with the break he had taken from the girls, he had the chance to finally come and see for himself.

Dom had mind linked him earlier about the appearance of Hawi and for a movement back there, Jer had been charred shitless. He had made sure the woman didn't have a way to come back home and yet she had managed to come back. Oh, she was wild, but was she?

"How is she?" Jer asked when he reached where Dom was. He had been curious to see for himself the woman who was parading as his mate, to the point that even Dominic Sicario had been worried for himself and his sanity.

He already had his suspicions that Dom was probably seeing the same hallucinations as him. But then there was also a chance that Hawi was really there with them. Oh, but he had to see it for himself to believe that they weren't in some dystopian reality.

"She looks so real, like Awuor would. There are so many similarities between her and my sister it's creeping me out," Dom admitted as he looked at Jer who wasn't even fazed by it.

Well, he had seen her a few times and if this was the same situation then he needed to make a choice. Hawi hadn't been violent when she had shown up to Jer, but goddamn, Jer wasn't even sure what was real or not at the moment.

However, even he believed that it was impossible for Hawi to ever show up to them. The dead always stayed dead, but that didn't seem to be the case with both of them and it was worrying.

"Your sister died. I felt the bonds break completely. That only happens when someone is dead, dead, and very dead. Plus, if she were alive, she would have come to seek answers about your mother.

"This woman came to the dungeons a little too conveniently when we were at your supposed funeral, and she hasn't made any demands yet. How crazy and unreal can this get?" Jer said and Dom looked at him like the man had gone wild.

It all just didn't make any sense, but it was crazy at the same time, because it was a hard task believing that they were not seeing things.

"You're not insinuating that she wanted something from Sicario?" Dom asked and Jer stared like he knew something the supposedly dead beta didn't know of. It was strange, really, on so many fronts, but hey, this was them trying to reason with their peanut brains, right?

"There is no way we can tell that right now. I have a feeling she is using magic to conceal who she truly is. My mate was unconscious for weeks, and she suddenly regained consciousness. And I have also been seeing versions of Awuor like some long bell.

"It's crazy. The woman I have been seeing, the woman I even saw before Malika regained consciousness, is way different from the one we captured and brought here. They are nothing alike," Jer admitted, introducing Dom to a part of his life that no one had known of yet.

It was like he was breaking barriers and choosing to trust Dominic Sicario completely. Sure, it was risky, given the man had betrayed his sister, but then they had dirt on each other so that wouldn't be hard for them.

If anything, they trusted each other to screw people and especially Awuor Hawi. That had to be worth something at the end of all this.

"Well, it seems like we have to keep visiting her so we can tell what the hell is going on. I went with Theo to her, and made Theo look like our father, but then she wasn't even surprised.

"The sister I know would have brought down the damn door if that meant getting to us. Remember when Awuor sniffed us when we were at our mother's funeral? She was so angry even then.

"My sister and vengeance go hand in hand. She wouldn't have held back like that woman did back there. What the fuck does she even want with us?" Dom asked frustratedly.
