With the way she was staring skeptically at Hawi, it was obvious Malika had figured out who the person was, but why was she holding back from saying it? Would it really be that bad for them?

Then again, they were at war, so it wouldn\'t make any sense for Malika to be holding back right now.

"Malika, you need to talk," Hawi said when she realized that her protector had gone a little too silent. Even then, Hawi forced a smile while looking at Rukiya who was looking for a spot to hide their clothes.

It seemed like the Greyson Alpha didn\'t know Hawi would shift with her clothes on and shift back with the clothes in the same state, whiteout tears or anything that wasn\'t there before. But that wasn\'t the issue right now.

A quiet Malika was, and Hawi was beginning to worry for her Ruru.

"Wait for me, love. We need to sift together and find a place where we can hunt before we head back to the camp," Hawi said and Rukiya just gave her a thumbs up, while Hawi was securing the words for any sign of werewolf traps.

She knew there had to be some from the intruders of Greyson, but then those would be the ones that Rukiya knew of. What of the ones she didn\'t know?

What if someone had planted traps all over for the both of them and this was the only time they could get Hawi and Rukiya alone?

"Her name is Russel, or at least that is the name she goes by," Malika said after a long silence.

She knew it wasn\'t going to be an easy one for the two mates but then when was it ever easy when it came to Hawi and Rukiya anyway? There was always a case to solve a murder to see through, and someone to take out. It wasn\'t new.

"Did you find her? And what information do you have on this Russel that could make her want Rukiya dead? I don\'t think the Greyson alpha has even interacted with warlocks before.

"She never spoke of any, even when I was with them in Greyson so it doesn\'t make any sense. Besides, if they had a warlock in Greyson, the tragedy with her father could have been avoided.

"It just doesn\'t make any sense at the moment. Why is it so important for this Russel that Rukiya dies? What does she gain from it?" Hawi asked, clearly not in the mood to go in a circle.

It would have made sense if the warlock that wanted Rukiya dead, went after Rukiya in Greyson. That would be understandable because Greyson was full of the strongest warriors in the realm.

Perhaps she could have used Adolf to kill Rukiya and make it believable.

It just didn\'t make sense that they would use Jer, of all the idiots in the realm, to come after Rukiya. It didn\'t add up and that was something Hawi needed to look into, because otherwise, it would be a long year for them.

"She wants you," Malika said angrily and Hawi let out a chuckle. It wasn\'t news that people wanted her dead, hell her family had wanted her dead too. So that wasn\'t shocking anymore.

Hearing that someone wanted her and was using Rukiya was just a far fetch. Besides, no one knew that Hawi and Ruru had been together until Rukiya mentioned they were mates earlier on.

Today was the first time that Rukiya had mentioned it in public outside of Greyson, so it just didn\'t make any sense. Perhaps they were missing something.

Perhaps there was more they needed to pay attention to or maybe there was just another loop waiting for them to crash and burn. That wasn\'t a scary thought, because Hawi wasn\'t worried about herself. She was immortal and no one could ever get to her.

"Oh great. So, she\'s using Rukiya, who she didn\'t know was my chosen mate until now? Come on Malika, there has to be something else. But first, use your magic to eliminate any and all traces of traps.

"I have a feeling that she isn\'t safe here, and I can\'t have her lose her smile today, it\'s just not what I need. I want her to be happy. That smile on her face is genuine and I plan on keeping it like that," Hawi said.

Malika then began checking the fields for any traps and boy were they many.

"Someone is really determined to take her out, Hawi. Please be careful," Malika said as she eliminated the traps one by one. It was like the entire field was riddled with magical traps, harmless to Hawi, but to Rukiya, they were more than lethal.

She would be out in seconds if she stepped on them and that was scary for a moment, because whoever did this, was determined to make sure they got what they wanted. It wasn\'t right on so many fronts and Malika was pissed.

There was just no way someone would want her Mistress\'s mate to be gone like this. It was crazy and Malika felt like burning someone.

"Hey. Calm down, the sun is already heating up more than it should. It will ruin the hunt," Hawi said to Malika who was still pissed.

She just couldn\'t understand why someone would be this brutal with Rukiya when the woman had been nothing but a good Alpha to her people. It was crazy and the more Malika thought about it, the more she was convinced that some people deserve to be burned without mercy.

"I\'m sorry, Mistress. It\'s just that I don\'t understand why they would be this determined to kill her. She\'s a mere werewolf and doesn\'t have any enemies that could be that obsessed with her, which makes it even crazy, because this Russel woman—" Malika said, stopping herself just to let out a growl.

She was angry that the mess was getting bigger and bigger and that her goal of seeing Hawi happy before she ascended the throne of the white wolf was slowly turning into a pipe dream.

Malika knew what the job waiting Hawi demanded, and if she wasn\'t happy before she went in, then happiness would never be a guarantee for her, ever. It was a truth that she had seen over the years and while she never really cared about the others, this assignment was important to her.

Maybe because for the first time she had found someone she related to so much, someone she wanted to see happier than herself and boy was it making her a mess.

Maybe, it would all be okay by the time Hawi had her vengeance, but at this rate, if Malika didn\'t act, she would lose her friend and mistress.

"I understand, Malika. What did you find out about Russel?" Hawi asked as she tried to calm her protector down. She was all for going on a murder spree with Malika, but today, she wanted to see Rukiya happy, no matter what it took.

"I know her scent from Greyson. She is someone from Greyson."
