"They are there to protect the kid," the white wolf sighed in relief as the fog cleared eventually. She had had her doubts and was ready to be very irrational with the goddess, and while that could have cost her an arm and a leg, she wasn’t about to complain.

"Exactly," Islinda stated a matter of factly, even though it was like she was telling Hawi that she wasn’t that cruel. Perhaps Hawi would have believed her if Hawi didn’t have quite the shitty life and love life in the past three centuries.

She had lost more than the moon goddess would ever be able to compensate her for, and regardless of how this shit turned out, she wasn’t about to go face-first into anything the wild woman was representing her.

It was quite ironic, really, how the first instance that she finally met someone who matched her madness, she saw her as an even more unhinged version of herself. Perhaps that was all that there could ever be for them, right?

"But why?" Hawi asked curiously. It just didn’t make any sense and clearly, this wasn’t the MO of the woman who had sworn to make their lives difficult. It was all a little too easy and that got Hawi worried. This woman was not to be trusted in any way.

"The Russel lover’s siblings are back in Sicario, and Trey told Hudhayfah of the danger," Islinda stated calmly. It is almost like she was talking about the weather that had been shitty to Hawi the entire time.

So much time had gone by, so many things had happened and if the Russels made their way back to the one place their family had been slaughtered then it either had to be important or an insane dare.

Hawi wasn’t sure what to count on those two, because unlike their other siblings these two who were apparently in Sicario, were more of lovers than fighters they had let their guards done, so they would walk back into the one pack that could alter them.

It was a risk, and the worst -party very exciting not of it all, was the fact that they had gone back there for their mates, who were part of the unhinged misfits manned by Awuor Hawi. What the fuck were they aiming for this time then?

"What is that even supposed to mean?" Hawi asked, having had enough of the games.

"It means that the Russel siblings came out of hiding to protect their mates from the Salvadors. That is how dangerous this group is," Islinda said, as she stared right into Hawi’s eyes, almost like she wanted to see Hawi’s reaction.

The Russels were supposed to be a sore topic for Awuor Hawi, given all that she had lost in their hands but who was to tell Islinda the blind, that Hawi had intentionally left the two Russels alive because she couldn’t bear to see her friends grieving their mates?

Who was to explain to this overhyped woman that no matter what the chaos was in the pack, Hawi wouldn’t dare to raise a hand against the two siblings because they were the symbol of loyalty and love in a home that had been nothing but terrorizing for them then?

It was a gamble, a long one, but perhaps this time, the goddess had to cast her dice too. She had to make her decisions and see for herself whether it would be worth it in the end or if this was just another game for the lot of them.

"But my mate…" Hawi trailed off. She didn’t know what the hell she was supposed to do at this moment even though her heart was beating with desire for the woman she loved with all of her.

She wanted to be with Ruru. She needed to breathe Ruru in, but the longer she listened to Islinda, the more Hawi realized that home was probably going to be a lonely dream again for a little longer.

Would she be able to take it though?

And would she ready herself to pay the price for saving the life of a kid that probably wasn’t even hers, to begin with? What in the world was happening and why did it seem like the world was just another playground for Islinda as she planned on running Hawi’s life again?

"She will be fine. I know you want to go to her and tell her that she will be okay and that you love her. I know you want to run into her arms, but Hawi, you can’t with the Salvadors taking out everyone, you just put your family first," Islinda said calmly.

It was strange really, how she was trying to be the voice of reason when the entire time she had been the one reigning terror on Hawi and everyone she had loved. It was a cruel truth, but sometimes, fate wasn’t in the hands of the moon goddess and Hawi had to learn that there were so many factors at play.

No god wanted to see the creation suffer, but then each creation had its fate and that was a reality that would forever sting.

Of course, Islinda could have saved herself the trouble with Hawi by telling her that, but she was certain that Hawi would at least try to strangle her if she said things that ruled her up. It wasn’t fair, but nothing in the world was fair to anyone right now, yeah?

"I should be there with them. I should be protecting her. I should be there," Hawi rambled in earnest as she stared at Mbali and Rukiya. She wanted to run and hug them both, to tell them that she was okay and that all would be well, but deep down, she felt held back.

There was clearly more to this than she could put her hand on and it scared the fuck out of her because the thought of being someone’s prisoner didn’t sit well with her. She was always the free woman, the girl who had feathers and wanted to fly freely.

Perhaps there would come a time for her to embrace all of that, right? And perhaps time and fate wouldn’t be as cruel to both of them as they are at the moment. Maybe this was a reason for Hawi to hope and keep fighting.

But what if at the end of the day, it was all a hoax by the moon goddess?

Would she still accept that? Or would she finally lash out at the woman?

"The Salvadors know that she is Rukiya, but they also know that she has no recollection of her link with you. That is the only thing keeping her safe and protecting the entire realm right now," Islinda stated as a matter of fact.

The truth was a bitter pill that she had to help Hawi take at the moment because otherwise, she would be losing her mind. She knew that it wasn’t for what had happened to the both of them, but Islinda had done her best to keep Rukiya safe.

She had been the guardian of the woman who had lost hope and a woman whose fate had been thwarted one too many times. Maybe it was because she was the mate of the white wolf and Islinda couldn’t have Hawi burning down the realm for Rukiya.

Or maybe it was because, at the end of the day, Islinda had truly seen the kind of pain that the two had gone through and she just wanted them to have their lives freely. It was a desire that they had been unable to fulfill for the longest time.

It wasn’t easy, and it wasn’t what she had expected but then she had expected that Hawi would defeat the Russels like that. The wild girl had done things that he hadn’t thought possible and that made her respect the rebellious little shit even more.

"That is too much of a burden for her. You just saw it. She recalled everything. She knows who I am to her. She understands what is expected. She will not stop looking for me, and you know it too," Hawi rambled again.

She was worried for the love of her life, and it was only because Islinda seemed to have another agenda with her here. If Islinda had truly wanted to reveal Rukiya to Hawi with ease, then they would have been reunited long ago.

However, right now, it seems like the only thing that mattered to Islinda was the hold she had on Hawi, which was strange and unappealing at the same time. This woman had the chance to make things better and she was fucking with her.

It wasn’t fair.

Perhaps it was a choice that Hawi would have to make eventually anyway.

"Which is why I need your help this time," Islinda said softly, her tone different from the other times that she had been talking to Hawi. She sounded lost, and defeated, which for a moon goddess, didn’t look too good on her.

It wasn’t the best of ideas, truly, holding the world woman caprice and yet it was one thing that the goddess had done. Funny how he was telling Hawi she needed help when all had gone to hell already. Perhaps there was something to be salvaged, no?

"I don’t like that tone, Islinda," Hawi replied simply. She was being honest with the woman who was holding her mate captive in that damned seat. She knew there was always a price to pay, but Rukiya’s part in the dumb game just didn’t make sense to her this time.

"What do you mean by help?" Hawi questioned.
