The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[SICARIO]

"Elodie?" Drew asked as she got off the ship first. He needed to know that his people were not going to be shot down, and what better way to test that than to check for himself whether the place was safe or not.

Maybe he was just thinking a lot or maybe, just maybe, there was a lot that needed to be faced before any of them did anything, right?

"What the fuck are you doing here?" Elodie asked as she looked at the ship captain. The Sicario warriors could sense the indifference in their alpha's tone and they stepped forward ready to defend their alpha if they had to.

They were not going to let their home be turned into a warzone and they would apprehend Drew faster than the man could ever blink. The signs were all there for the man to see and if he tried anything he would be dead sooner than soonest.

Drew looked at the familiar face, one that he had sworn he would never see himself. He had sworn in everything good and bad never to set eyes on the one woman who had taken him to hell with no consideration of what her he would survive there.

She was the engineer of his doom and even worse the main reason he had promised to never live in land again. Funny how the universe was fucking with him at the moment. Surely, they could have seen the changes for themselves right?

Couldn't anyone ever have told them that they had nemesis?

When Drew had been addressing Elodie earlier, he had paid attention to the woman's voice.

If anything, all he had done was try to communicate. He hadn't seen her too because the lighting in the shop was poor thanks to the damn crazies and all the shit they had done to their ship.

That shit meant more work for the ship captain and his crew before they went back to the waters. But damn no one had ever prepared Drew for this moment here. It was insane on so many levels and annoying as hell too.

"If I had known that this was where you were all this time, I would have chosen to die at sea," Drew said angrily as she marched his confused crew back into the ship. Of course, they didn't try to fight him since he knew better but damn, they needed some rest.

Captain Drew was painfully aware that he was being cynical but then what else could he do? He hadn't known that this woman was the one he was coming to, and clearly she didn't too, because if she did, then none of them would have been here at the moment.

It was sickening and full of shit something they despised so much, because how the fuck were they even supposed to try and make it work?

"Running away as usual, I see," Elidie said and Drew let out a growl an act that got the wolves of Sicairo growling at him too while the warriors readied themselves to blow the damn ship into fucking oblivion.

They hated each other so much it was annoying to watch but then at the same time, it was interesting how fate was determined to bring them together no matter how hard it had always been for them to get along.

"From you? Absolutely, and with pleasure. Even the devil is better than you," Drew huffed and Elodie chuckled at Drew's statement.

She hadn't expected to see him here but then a part of her was glad that he hadn't changed as much. He was still the same after so long and she hoped that he was okay after all that he had experienced.

It was not what anyone would have expected of Elodie given how angry Drew was but then there was always going to be a good day and a terrible one for everyone in the realm, right?

Perhaps Drew was simply the good day for Elodie while she was his worst day.

"Are you fucking serious?" Elodie sighed defeatedly as she watched the door of the ship close.

The same ship that Drew had begged to be let out of. Their ego games were not making this situation any better but then it wasn't like Elodie was the one trapped in a damned ship with the smell of a sewer, right?

She wanted to go there and make amends with Drew but knowing the man, she was aware that this was pointless for the both of them. She could tell that her people needed answers so she turned to them, a soft smile on her face as she addressed them.

"Looks like we will be having the ship on our lands for a while. Be nice to our visitors alright. Something happened out there and Maika and Hawi got them through their portal to this place. So until we figure that out, it is life as usual.

"Don't worry about the safety of Sicario. Everything will be alright. They are no danger to us. You can go back to doing what you were doing before the shop showed up. Theo… assign six warriors to keep watch on the ship.

"Let me know when they are sick of their stench and step out of the shop alright?" Elodie said.

Theo nodded in agreement. He didn't know what was happening here but one thing he had grown to learn with the Sicario crazies was that they always had a reason. So all he could do was listen to the alpha and do what she wanted him to do.

"Are we really going to be stuck in here with this mess?" Rio, one of the crew members asked and Drew glared at him even though he knew Rio's question was right.

"We won't be here long. Those crazies will take our ship back to the waters and we won't have to deal with this," Drew said even though it was more to convince himself than the crew he was with.

There was so much history that was threatening to unravel and Drew was not ready for any of that. He didn't know who they had gotten to this point but he sure as hell hoped that he wouldn't be roped into the madness once again.

He had done this once before, which was more than enough, and he didn't want to do it again. He couldn't do this again, and certainly not where Elodie Kane was. There were a lot of places for him to be and he didn't need the woman anymore.

"What's the deal with you and that alpha then? If we're going to be stuck here in this stench then we can at least know why we are suffering, don't you think that's just what's fair this time?" Rio asked.

However, Drew didn't give him an answer. How could he when even he hadn't thought about the crazy state since the last time that he had seen the woman? What was he even supposed to say or explain to his people?

"If you're suffocated, go to the upper deck. They won't shoot or harm us. And you heard their alpha too. If you need anything just ask the people around. Don't ask me about that woman though," Drew said with a tone of finality.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Rio sighed before he walked out and went to the upper deck at least there he could breathe the Sicario air just once right?

"Fuck!" was all Drew could let out once everyone left for the upper deck.
