"And if someday you see me, remember to forget my name, or karma will bow." 

****
For Awuor’s power, her people had done the unthinkable, in the history of werewolves.

Her beta and brother, Dom, murdered their mother, the Sicario luna and blamed it on Awuor. In his grief, her father didn't bother to try and find out the truth, instead, for murdering her mother, he gave his daughter the worst punishment any alpha could ever get.

He banished her from home, but Awuor’s wasn’t the usual banishment. Her father neither stripped her of the alpha title, nor did he make her a rogue. Instead, Alpha Sicario forced Awuor to be an exiled alpha, a woman so powerful, but with no one to rule over. 

Her mate, Jer, a power-hungry bastard, stepped up to rule the Sicario pack, since Awuor, the reigning alpha, was away, and Jer never once sought her out. Just like everyone else, he had betrayed her when he claimed a different woman, without rejecting Awuor.

As the gates of Sicario closed on her, as her people watched her in disgust and disappointment, the daughter of Sicario had just one thought.

A PROMISE of destruction & vengeance; she would ruin them all.

[EXCERPT]

"Either you're from the Dawson pack,  the Bluemoon pack, or the Sicario pack, because you're definitely not from our Greyson pack. You must have done something really stupid for your alphas to banish you, even though you have no scent of the ferals.

"So that could mean you're not a feral, but you're certainly not that important to your people. You seem to have an attitude and reek of power, that's why you don't appreciate anyone talking to you like a regular wolf.

"But all of that doesn't matter right now, because you are the unwanted little wolf. The girl without a home, the rejected wolf who can't be claimed by anyone else. You're dressed in banana leaves because you have no clue how to make proper clothing on your own.

"— or even check the feral cloth reservoir on the west of this forest. The fact that you have stayed so close to the other three packs is because you don't want to be away from home and are somehow hoping that they'd want you back.

"Allow me to spell it out for you and make it easier for your probably useless brain to understand, little wolf, no one wants you. I'm only taking you to my alpha because your presence here is a nuisance to us, and for some reason, the alpha is interested in you.

"And before you get any ideas about mates and whatnot, our alpha is already mated. So will you get up on your own, or do we have to take you stripped? Because I for one have no problem doing that. We could just treat you like the rogue that you're not," Adolf said to Awuor who still had her angry smirk on.

The palace walls were silent after the Queen's return. Queen Kia had not said a word to her people like she always did which was strange and even more confusing because the palace was used to a beaming queen. 


Perhaps it was because of all that had happened in Hernia but even that made sense because Kadiam and Dumi had felt the memory reset. They didn't say a word though because they had been here before and they knew the procedure. 


But Kia not talking to them made it harder for them to understand whether she remembered what had happened or if she was just the silent queen they had gotten to meet this time.


"Your majesty, the girl—" Kadiam began when the queen was heading to her chambers. 


That girl was the only reason that the queen would stop everything and change her mind but this time she just stared at him, her eyes empty and unreadable like the world was suddenly shifting from black and white to a myriad of things that she couldn't understand.
