[HAWI]
"Isn't this a trial?" Rukiya asked and Malika stared at her pitifully.
"Say something dammit," Rukiya growled slowly at Malaika.
"No, it isn't. They had long made the decision. This is just a show," Malika said and it took everything in Rukiya Greyson not to step up there and screw them over.
She had promised to be Hawi's executioner and just because she had been all nice and giddy with them didn't mean she had forgotten what she had sworn. She wouldn't compromise when it came to Hawi.
And she hoped for the sake of Sicario that these elders fixed what they had just decided on. Because blood would flow and the pack would never see peace, that was one thing Rukiya would make certain of, whether Hawi wanted it or not.
