[HAWI]
"Ruru, wait—" Hawi said to Rukiya, stopping her from leaving.
"What is it, baby?" Rukiya asked, turning back towards the woman she had tucked in comfortably. She knew Hawi was having a hard time letting anyone care for her, but Rukiya had insisted. They had gone to war for her, not because she had to be on the battlefield.
She could as well stay back home and wait for the results of the war and they would still win the war for her. Maybe that was why Ruru was insistent on this, because she felt like she had been failing Hawi for a long time.
"Razia—"
"Don't release her just yet. Make it seem like her apparent depression is getting better, but do not release her," Rukiya said sternly and Hawi stared at her insistence. She knew this wasn't the easiest thing for the Greyson alpha, and she wished she could help.
