The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[SICARIO]

It all happened too fast. One moment, Captain Drew was moping in his ship wondering why fate was a cruel bitch to him, and the next, he was watching his entire ship blow up into little pieces.

It was unexpected and the thought that they had been on a ship that had explosives didn't sit right with him, he couldn't even think straight hell he couldn't see what could have led to the explosion.

Everything was alright when they had left their shore on the other side of the sea to come for the white wolf and even when they had left the share to head to the seaweed island, the ship had been okay.

"Rio! Is everyone alright?" Drew asked when he snapped out of his trance. He had never been in a state like this and he was issued. Hell, he had never thought it was ever possible to be that angry.

He felt like growling out at everyone but he also had a feeling that Sicario needed answers and he had to be ready for a long-ass grilling of his crew members would be dead before the sun even had the chance to hit noon.

That was how crazy this shit was.

"What the hell just happened, Cap. Everyone is alright, but what the fuck?" Rio asked, his head hadn't entwined on his head as he watched the ship that they had all lived on for the past sixteen years go up in flames.

This was nothing close to what they had expected in Sicario but then who the fuck were they even supposed to make it make sense? They couldn't blame Sicario because the pack members hadn't come close to the shop since they had arrived here.

There was no denying that they had breached the portal with the explosives on board but then again, Awuor Hawi wouldn't have sent them to her dear home, a palace so fortified if she knew there was an explosive on board.

Shit just didn't make any sense, but then who the fuck was supposed to make it make sends for them when no one here really knew what the fuck had happened? Oh, Drew was scared and he knew it.

"Everyone, get back inside!!" Theo's voice came through as the wolves rigged inside the pack house, the one place that no one would ever be able to breach.

It was sad, really, how a pack so peaceful had been reduced to the one thing they had been avoiding the entire time. Thankfully for Drew and his crew, there was no harmed Sicario wolf and that would save them more than once.

"Care to explain what the fuck just happened here?" Alpha Elodie asked as she got to the burning wreckage. She wasn't really sure what to expect when she saw Drew walk out of the ship, but damn this was something else.

"The ship exploded? I don't know what you want me to say, because even I don't know why the fuck it exploded. Is this the part where we line up as suspects and head to the Scenario dungeons?" Drew asked defeatedly, making Elodie look at him curiously.

He had an entire crew depending on him and he was giving up just like that? Since when had they gotten to this point with each other? Well, there was a lot of history that was unspoken between them and it was crazy how shit was going on at this point.

"Cap—"

"It's protocol, Rio. I grew up here. I know what they do to suspects and sudden outcasts. Don't fight it, it will only get worse," Drew said to his crew who were staring at him in disbelief.

They had been through enough shit for a day and now they were headed to the dungeons? Whatever happened to sticking together and where was the benefit of the diet that they were meant to be given, seeing as they didn't come to Sicario on their own?

"Protocol? Fuck protocol. We didn't do shit, so why the fuck would we march to the dungeons? The only thing we did was respond to a call when protector Malika summoned us to be of use to the werewolf queen.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"The queen herself sent us here, to her home because she owns the dangers. So why in all hell would she do that if she distrusted us? Why would she put her people in danger like that?

"I am not going into any dungeons. If they want, they can kick me out. We have been traveling for months and years just to get to the shore, and suddenly we are thrust into this shit, because that Mbali woman disappeared.

"We were sent here without an explanation and as usual. We trust the mighty queen of the werewolves, right? I'm not letting one of her subjects detain me. I choose death," Rio said.

Theo just chuckled amusedly.

Gasps were heard in the crowd of Sicario warriors that had just formed. They couldn't believe this, but then the circumstances still didn't make any sense. They didn't have answers and they couldn't lose the people that had been sent here to them. It was like they were burning the only link to remind them that Hawi was alive.

They had to work a way around this and fast because seeing how aggrieved the captain's crew were, there was no reason for them to keep this dragging on. It was a risky thing to do and they had to have known that, surely.

"Don't be stupid, Rio. death is not something to play around with. We are sailors, we only die in the water and get buried there. This is no water," Captain Drew said to the sailor who was determined.

This was disrespectful to them because they hadn't even absorbed the fact that they had been sent back to the shore without even prior warning and now where they were in the land that people only ever dreamt of.

The worst part of all of this was the fact that they didn't rest enough. They had been trying to survive and now they had to fight to keep their sanity too. That was the kind of shit that they weren't going to allow, even if their captain agreed to it.

"What else is there for us, huh? Their interrogation methods are dangerous, even the devil shivers at their damn methods. These warriors are obviously trained by the crazy queen herself.

"Who knows what sick twisted techniques she drilled into them to make the entire pack submit and keep order? Or have you ever seen a pack this huge without any troublemakers?

"They will interrogate us and make us want to die, on our own. So why not let them just do it straight up? Why not let them make this easier for them and us? I would much rather prefer an arrow or a sword to the heart over the Sicario interrogation," Rio admitted defeatedly.

Maybe he was a coward for wanting the easy way out. Maybe he was not a good sailor for giving up that fast, but then what he had said was true. These people were monsters clothed by the darkest creature alive.

They would be tortured to the ends of the world for something that even they did not understand. And so defeated, the sailors bent their knees and arched their bodies so their hearts were out and ready for the taking.

"Do it," Alpha Elodie said.
