The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[GREYSON]

Malika had a feeling that Greyson wasn't alright, but when they reached the gates and were met with a literally dying pack, she knew there was no time for pleasantries. These people were grieving and they were right to do that.

They had lost their kin, their friends, and people who were important to them. They had had their toes cut so suddenly it is understandable that they had been forced into this state.

However, that didn't make it any less heartbreaking. This wasn't what life was supposed to be.

"How many wolves are in Grayson?" Malika asked as she looked at the mess before them. It contracted with the pack she and her team had left earlier. This wasn't what life was supposed to be, but then it was a phase they had to get through and help them out of.

"Around twenty thousand at best," Dumi said and Malika contemplated how long it would take them to take on the entire pack.

It was something that would need Hawi, but Hawi had just hatred for being happier, Malika couldn't impress her with this. So, looking at the other protectors Malika knew she had to lead them in taking on more than they could hold.

It would hurt them in impossible ways and it would probably knock them out for days on end, but it was better having ten people knocked out than twenty thousand sprawled around because they didn't know how to deal with the intensity of the pain.

"Then we merge our energies and absorb all their pain," Malika said swiftly as she looked at her team. They had worked together for years and honestly, this was the hardest task they had been given.

They had never done this before, which almost meant that they were not sure how long they would be knocked out for.

However, Malika hoped that if they were out, the Lycans would lead the defense of Greyson in case anything happened or even in the event that the remaining Russel brothers came to attack Greyson to get an upper hand on Hawi.

"All their pain?" Kadiam asked and for the first time he was sure the woman had gone insane. Sure, she always was unhinged but this was just on another level. It just didn't make any sense and it raised more questions and concerns.

"What about us? That is a lot of pain to take on."

"The wolves won't even appreciate us after this."

"It's our job to keep the wolves happy, and this one especially."

"They Are lucky to have the white wolf, because otherwise I wouldn't have bothered."

"Still, twenty thousand against eleven isn't exactly going to be easy for us."

"Once we merge energies and start the mass absorption, we won't be able to know what is happening around us. I could have created a ward around Greyson but it's too big a place, not to mention it will need a lot of magic.

"The wolves can take care of themselves once we are done, but if they are not awake by then, we would have done all of this for nothing. I know it's hard. If we do this right, I'll give you all two years off," Malika said and they looked at her excitedly.

Two years for a protector wasn't a long time given time really went by fast when they were training, but then it was the best incentive.

Two years off with Malika meant that she would be glaring daggers at them and there was even a chance that they would be able to have a normal relationship with her. Oh, she was complex, but then this was harder to crack than Malika.

Perhaps they would just have to wait and see how this would turn out for them, yeah? Enjoy more content from m-v l'e|m,p| y- r

"This is going to hurt for a long time though. Alright, let's do it," Dumi said, seeing as there was no other option for them.

They were the protectors of the realm and they had to make sure the white wolf wouldn't go berserk because of the madness in Greyson. That was the kind of load that even they wouldn't be able to handle on their own.

It would take a lot of things and interventions but it wouldn't bring back the time they would have lost or even the pain they would have gone through by then. It was not easy; at least they knew it.

"Yeah, let's do this," Malika said before the eleven of them joined their hands, and created a magical link that was a little too strong.

Malika's magic was too much for them and there were a few protectors who had started experiencing dizziness because of it. So, they decided to leave the link open, for them to breathe if they were suffocated by Malika's magic.

They would eventually have to form a full circle to deal with this, but at least by then they wouldn't be suffocating from the intensity of Malika's magic.

Together, the protectors started siphoning the pain from Greyson. They had stepped back and stayed at the border to make it easier to get all that pain. It was intense and they screamed their hearts and lungs out, but they couldn't stop.

They had to do this and maybe someday the wolves would remember them, right? Well, it was quite the challenge for them, especially when they all started growing giant and it seemed like they had not even finished what they had come to do.

It was depressing, but they needed to make sure that this was done in the best of ways.

They had to clean up so that hair wouldn't have to come here and that in itself made Malika so mad that if any of the Russel brothers showed up right now, she would chew their heads off.

She was so mad that she was losing her mind, but she had to work this out.

"I think it's working. I see some of them rising up," Kadiam struggled to say as he tried his best not to show how overwhelmed they were but there was no denying that. So, they kept on siphoning the pain.

They tried to make the Greysons feel better and somewhere along the way, the magic got too much for them that they all fell down unconscious, while the spell they had cast, forced them to take on the pain of an entire grieving pack.

"Holy shit," Hudhayfah said when he noticed the unusual pile of bodies that had fallen down in a circle. They were a little too familiar.

At first, he was sure he was hallucinating, especially with the buzzcut showing, but then when he turned Malika and saw her, he knew that this had to be the craziest thing the woman had done.

Hudhayfah contemplated sending word to Sicario, but he knew that if Malika had decided to do this with the protectors instead of Mbali and Hawi, then she didn't want them to know about it.

That in itself warmed Hudhayfah's heart but at the same time, got him wondering why she had to do this for them.

"Sherry! Get the infirmary ready! We have ten people that need immediate medical attention!" Hudhayfah shouted and the warriors of Greyson looked at him skeptically before they saw Malika.

Most of them had seen Malika siphon Hawi's pain and usually, it left her a little too weak, because Hawi always felt things tenfold so as they stared, they knew that she and her team had to have done this.

Hudhayfah's heart broke for the protectors, even as the warriors rallied to help them. They had prepared the Greyson infirmary and laid them there.

"They are protectors," Sherry whispered defeatedly as she looked at the Lycans and Hudhayfah and Harry. Whatever had happened was not one that they could explain with ease and it was driving her nuts. What the fuck were they to make of this?

"They felt our pain and came to free us," Harry said with pride and sadness at the same time.

None of them really knew what to do with the protectors really. They had never had to interact with this kind of powerful creature and it was insane on so many levels. Hudhayfah stared confused.

"We can't inject them with anything, because their skins won't crack, not to mention there is a high chance of them strangling us to death if we touch them any longer than we need to. Are you sure we shouldn't be calling Mbali?

"If we can't call it hawi then?" Sherry asked and Hudhayfah sighed. He wasn't even sure what day it was or how long they had been out of it. He wanted to ask questions but the only one with the answers was not eleven conscious.

They needed to get a hold of themselves but they also needed to make sure that the protectors got up, because otherwise they would be in deep shit.

"Then we need to call Mbali," Hudhayfah said and Sherry stared at him. Surely the man wasn't talking of introducing the psychotic Lycan here, without any supervision right? The woman was everything wrong with the world.

Mbali with Hawi was strangely understandable.

Mbali with Malika was like a curse that could take a while to be broken, but Mbali on her own without having to answer to anyone, was the face of doom. That woman was scary as hell and Sherry knew that.

Hell, the entire realm already knew her to be one of the many devils in the realm.

"The crazy one… Here? Without supervision?" Sherry asked.

"Unfortunately, yes. The protectors are linked to Malika. Which means that we can wake them up if we wake Malika up," Hudhayfah explained.

"Great, and Mbali fits how?"

"She is Malika's blood sister," Hudhayfah said, earning gasps from Sherry.
