His Malika\'s body.

"No," Jer whimpered as he rushed to his mate, ignoring the door that would probably close and trap him inside here. He was scared and worried for his mate, but what he was met with, shattered his will to live.

Malika wasn\'t losing her breaths slowly, no. She looked like she had died days ago, and he had failed to realize the intensity of the stench. She looked so defeated, and like she had been trying to crawl towards the door.

Jer wasn\'t sure if this was just a game, so he summoned his beta who was sand at him. He knew it was a risk, but he hoped that a part of Elodie would understand him, seeing as they had both been part of Malika\'s inner circle, right?

"Please, Kane. Please," Jer pleaded in the mind links and Elodie sighed before she rushed to where he was. Thankfully, she got in right before the door could close and she dragged a table, to keep the door open.

Hawi\'s chambers were well protected and it was just a matter of time before the security measures kicked in. Elodie wasn\'t sure what she expected, but they would think of that later once they were out.

"Come along, Jer. This room is about to shut itself completely," Elodie said and Jer looked at her pitifully. He wanted to protest, to say that this wasn\'t fair, but even if it wasn\'t for him, there wasn\'t a thing that he could do about it.

Not when he was risking his life and the warrior\'s. He had a lot to do, but goddamn, he hated his desperation, and the way that he had been tricked by Atticus into a blood oath with the earth.

It was crazy, how all of this was happening and he had no one to help him. It was like everyone else in his life was here to cause him more misery and see him fade into nothingness. It was a cruel fate, but a fate nonetheless.

"She—" Jer began and Elodie grabbed him by his hands and dragged him out.

Thankfully, he was holding Malika in his arms when the door blew shut. It wasn\'t what they had expected, but then it wasn\'t like they would explain what the fuck had just happened back there. It made no sense to them.

"Holy shit, what the fuck happened to her?" Elodie said just as she was about to catch her breath. She hadn\'t taken a good look at Malika earlier but boy this wasn\'t what she had expected.

The woman looked like a very dead body. It was impossible to tell how long she had been dead for but the flows around her, and the stench she was emitting was on that tugged at Elodie\'s heart.

She wanted to think that this was HER Malika, but she knew that as long as Hawi lived, Malika would live; and she hadn\'t heard any news about her best friend\'s death. So this was not real.

However, it got her questioning why the band of crazies had decided to take out their spy in Sicario. It was supposed to be comforting, but Elodie couldn\'t help but think that the storm was here already. Soon enough they would find out.

"He lied to me. He said she was still alive. He made me make an oath when he knew she was long dead. He fooled me, Kane. That man fooled me," Jer cried silently as he held his Malika in his arms.

The woman was long gone and her bones were starting to show. She looked so terrible and if this was what written bodies looked like, Elodie was already planning on getting herself cremated.

This was hell for the alpha and Elodie knew it too. She had seen how genuine Jer had been in his love for Malika. She had watched him pamper his little mate with everything he had and didn\'t.

She had watched Jer live for Malika, breathe for Malika, and exist for Malika. Now that his Malika was gone, there was no telling what would happen. The universe was truly being a little too cruel to Jer, or was it?

"Who, Jer. Who lied to you? And why the fuck is the Luna dead?" Elodie asked the shaking alpha. He was currently seated on the floor with his mate in his arms, holding onto her like she was his reason to live.

Oh, but she had been his lifeline and more. She was easily the best thing he had and they had taken that away from him. They had taken his sanity with Malika and there was no telling what would remain of the alpha.

Then again, when deals were made, they were meant to be respected, right? No one was above the law regardless of what the universe wanted. No one would make oaths and expected no consequences when they defaulted

This was a lesson so hard for Jeremiah Warner and he knew that there was no coming back from this. There was a kind of emptiness that lingered in his heart and being that made him want to disappear, but he couldn\'t.

"Razia said Malika would live if I killed Awuor. Theo beat me to it, and now my Malika is dead, and Rukiya has completed the bond with Awuor. They\'re probably happy, laughing at the man who failed to take them down," Jer said sadly and Elodie\'s eyes glistened.

She hadn\'t been expecting that bit of news, but now. She finally understood why Malika had to be killed on this side of the realm. The bond was completed and the white wolf was on a mission.

They were planning attacks and that was nothing that Elodie could stop. Elodie could only hope that there was some bit of Sicario left when Hawi was done with her vengeance. Even then, it was still exciting.

"What? Hawi and Rukiya? When the fuck did that happen?" Elodie asked, the surprise in her voice making Jer believe that his beta didn\'t know shit about Hawi, when his beta was in love with the real version of the corpse he was holding onto.

Well, fate was something I\'m a bitch, wasn\'t it anyway?

"Yeah. Atticus, Razia\'s brother, said it. He has no reason to lie to me anyway. You should be happy, your sister finally got with her true mate. She no longer has me to interrupt her bond, yeah," Jer said coldly, while his tears fell on the corpse he was holding onto.

His heart was broken one too many times and honestly, he wasn\'t sure if there was more he could take after this. There was nothing left for him and his heart was no longer working properly.

"Well fuck… I didn\'t know Hawi liked girls," Elodie said as she looked at Jer earnestly. There were so many things that could have been done, but this was the cruelest of them all.

"What now?" Elodie asked after a long silence.

"We cremate my Luna and prepare for war. Tell the warriors, not to test my patience this time. I am the Sicario ALPHA," Jer said, his alpha wolf coming out.

"Yes, Alpha," Elodie said, giving in to the alpha command.
