Chapter 141: Descendants of The Red Sun
The only problem was that they had a psycho who wanted to kill them, one who wouldn\'t rest until she had their heads off; whatever her mission there was. It was a crazy time for them, but what else could they do?
"That was so fucking slow, dammit. Why the hell did you sputter blood in the portal? You do realize she was the one who could help us sort things out?" Dom asked when they found themselves in the alpha\'s office.
He was worried about what he had done, especially now that they had no warlock to keep them sane, or so Dom thought. But even with a new warlock, Jer\'s dumb state wasn\'t going to be any better.
He was always the last one to know things, something that he had decided for himself because he didn\'t want to be burdened by the responsibilities that came with being an alpha.
Logically he should have been the alpha, but instead, he had let Jer take his position, a sign of just how unready he was.
"If you want to mourn the warlock, go ahead. That woman is the fake Awuor\'s problem and a good distraction. Without her, we wouldn\'t have been able to escape there especially now that your father killed himself, a weak move by the way.
"Besides, we heard the rubble. There are no more entries to the tunnels. All the evidence is buried. No one will know shit," Jer said as he grabbed the bottle of alcohol on his desk and chugged it down.
He had been so stressed about everything that we couldn\'t think straight. He had a feeling that there was more coming, but he couldn\'t spell it out, because then it would confirm his fears and honestly, he wasn\'t strong enough to deal with that.
"You heard the woman. What if she goes for your Malika?" Dom asked worriedly, and Jer stared at her like he wasn\'t really in the mood for that. He couldn\'t think about his woman being harmed by the psycho they had just interacted with.
It was a huge risk and his Malika didn\'t stand a chance whatsoever. It was like forcing a cat into the rain when there was a snowstorm in the mix. It wasn\'t pleasant and Jer wouldn\'t want to risk his Malika, his love.
"Malika is as safe as she should be. She is with Elodie. That warrior won\'t hurt my mate. She knows better by now," Jer said confidently and Dom just shook his head. This man was unbelievable.
Did he even believe the words coming out of his mouth if he was just talking because he could? The longer he interacted with Jer, the more Dom was sure this man relay had no clue about the magnitude of just how fucked they were.
Jer was still grasping at straws when their sanity was up for grabs in a market that had psychos and psychos only. Perhaps choosing to partner with Jer was the worst decision he had ever made but was it too early for Dom to make that assumption?
"You seem so sure for someone who had just been told that Kane wasn\'t trustworthy," Dom said as he sat on the couch. He could feel his head spinning and he couldn\'t think straight.
There were so many consequences lining up for them, and Jeremiah Warner was still as dumb as ever. Dom had a feeling he would regret this, oh he definitely would.
"That shit came from a woman who thinks she won. But where is she now if not buried under the rubble? Anyway, I need to catch a breath before I get to the Warriors. They must be worried sick of what is happening," Jer said and Done Just laughed.
He couldn\'t believe this, but then he also headed to see how this would turn out. After all, what other option was there for him? He had already made his bed, it was only right that he lay on it, right?
"You wanted the alpha position. I will be resting here. Have fun alright?" Dom teased, knowing so well that nothing about their future was going to be fun. He just needed a minute to curse himself for siding with a useless fool.
"You lucky bastard. Think of what we are going to do about Kane already. And that fake Awuor she seemed to know a lot. I bet we can be on the lookout for the Lycan warrior, Jabali Lihle.
"If she comes after us then we will know that the bitch was telling the truth. If she doesn\'t then it could be just a trick by that woman to get what she wanted," Jer said as he breathed deeply. He was feeling like doing things but he knew he had to step up.
Sighing, he opened the door and walked out to see the extent of the damned that had been done to his pack. Perhaps he would get to see what the other alphas thought of this.
Everything on just was crazy, but not as crazy as the person staring at him in the hallway. Either he had drunk too much, or he was slowly understanding how screwed he was. And that wasn\'t a good thing.

"Where the fuck have both of you been?" Rukiya asked when she finally saw Mbali and Malika, outside the Sicario gates. The two had been gone for a while and Rukiya was already planning to breach, in case they didn\'t come back soon.
Thankfully they were here, however invisible to the public, but goddamn, they looked like shit, were angry, and yet there was some unexpected relief on their faces. For people who looked terrible and wet outside the Sicario gates, they really were something.
"You can\'t tell? Wow. I thought you were the smartest after Hawi," Malika said sarcastically as she sniffed around. She was looking for traces of her mistress, seeing as there was only one woman that Hawi would go to, other than herself.
"Tell me you found her, Rukiya, please," Mbali said as she looked around too, the hope in her eyes, dwindling as she looked at Rukiya who just shook her head sadly. She had tried to use the bond but it didn\'t work.
"Our mate bond didn\'t work. The oath link was also blocked. It\'s like she didn\'t want us rushing in to help. I don\'t know what the fuck is going on, and I need answers," Rukiya said defeatedly as she looked at the huge black Sicario gates staring at her.
"You both go ahead to where the Greyson army is. I need to check something," Mbali suddenly said and Malika and Rukiya stared at her questionably. What the heck was she even on this time?
"What are you up to this time? Hawi wasn\'t there. I would have known," Rukia said and Mbali just sighed. Of course, they were all desperate but what she was after, wasn\'t going to take time.
"Trust me. I will be out in seconds," Mbali said before she disappeared again, leaving Malika and Rukiya walking back to the Greyson camp. They didn\'t have much of a choice but to trust her anyway.

[Now]
When she left the protector and the cruel alpha, Mbali had portaled into the Sicario pack house and more specifically the direction of the alpha\'s office. She had a feeling that she would meet her desired culprits there.
So, she wasn\'t shocked when she saw Jer walk out like he hadn\'t fucked up Hawi even more. Without hesitating, she rushed to the alpha who was sure he was seeing things, given he was seeing Mbali of all the people, who was currently his greatest fear.
"Hello Jer. I believe you have something that belongs to me," Mbali said as she suddenly grabbed Jer and dragged him back to the alpha\'s office, where she materialized.
The warriors who were in the hallways staring at their alpha thought he was possessed and downplayed his shocked shriek. They had seen their alpha act crazier than usual in the past two weeks and frankly, this wasn\'t even surprising to them anymore.
"Hello Dominic," Mbali said to Dom who had been excited when the door opened. He had been so ready to laugh at Jer for being a coward.
However, seeing Mbali there, covered in the stench of the dungeons, and red dust, they knew they were fucked.
