Mated to A Rival Alpha-Chapter 341: She Was Never Bloodthirsty, Right?
[RANIA]
"You worked so hard for this, Rani. I’ll go with Chang Wook for now. You can come check on us later. Just make sure to finish this up, because I can’t deal with them screaming anymore. I just can’t," Dalrae said and Rania just pulled her into a hug.
She knew that her sister was sensitive and yet she had gotten something important for Lim Dalrae. She should have known better but perhaps that was the only thing she could do at the moment.
"If it gets too suffocating—"
"I’ll call you, always. I know," Dalrae said reassuringly even though she could still feel trapped in the circle they were in.
She wasn’t a prisoner, but seeing the king and queen like that was messing with her mind. She would go against them for Rania, but dang, the strange feeling just couldn’t leave her. Maybe it was just that she left the space for now and came back later.
"Take care of yourselves out there. And make sure to reach out if you need anything. And I mean anything," Rania said and they just chuckled before they left.
Rania couldn’t help but watch her brother and sister leave and go back to the house. She knew it had to be too much if Dalrae was this upset, since her sister was never upset. But just this time, she would make sure that there were never screamers.
She would shut them all up, and perhaps it was a good thing that it was just her and Kaia, the deadliest mates to ever exist.
"Before we begin, you alphas have a choice to make. To stay here and end up dead, or go home, and never look back at Incayon ever again.
"It’s a one-time choice and I won’t give it again, should you feel so patriotic enough to want to fight me and Kai for the king, the man who is as useless as rotten bones to a dog," Rania said nonchalantly as she looked at the pack alphas who were still in shock from what they had just witnessed.
For years they had heard rumors of the cruelty of Kim Rania, mostly because Rania never went after the packs. She only went after people who hurt her and her people. She never bothered to face anyone regardless because she wasn’t a mass murderer for fun. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
She was just unforgiving to those who tried to hurt her family.
"What?" Luna Park asked as she looked at Kim Rania, as if to ask her if this was a bait for her, however, she had heard the rumors about her and she knew there was a really high chance that she was being truthful right now.
"You heard me and you know what I mean, Luna Park. It’s pointless trying to make this into something that it isn’t. They have a choice.
"They can leave or they can stay and fight the meaningless fight, one that as you all have seen will result in your deaths," Rania said, and this time, her tone was calm, like she wasn’t even planning on ruining their lives.
It was almost like she was encouraging them, giving them the go-ahead when she could easily rip them apart and there wasn’t a thing that they would ever be able to do about it. This wasn’t a democracy and Rania had proven that more than once.
It was a long game, one that would certainly last longer than the war they had just had. But then was that really the ear, or was the war with the bunch of leaders who had assembled before Rania?
"I’ll leave. I don’t have a reason to keep being here anymore. I have lost everyone in my army and my people will need a reason to keep going. If you give me my life, I swear we won’t disturb you again or even show our faces before you unless you summon us.
"After all, this is you technically handing us our lives," one of the pack leaders said as the other fourteen agreed with him. They had tried to calculate their odds and frankly, none of that was in their favor.
They had to try and make a sane decision before it was too late for them and their people.
They would each other at least that much anyway, because, at the end of the day, they would have to make the decision to stay or leave, the decision to protect their people or keep being defiant against Rania, when she literally had no quarrel with them.
Any sane person could easily argue that the Incayon warriors had simply defended their home from the revolutionaries because they were the ones who had threatened their home.
From any angle, Incayon was simply defending herself and that was what everyone should see.
Incayon never did strike first.
Even with the Calindra, they weren’t after Calindra because Calindra had been the one to strike first, naming it the greatest and most successful defense of all time. There was no competition with Rania and her team and only the smart ones could tell that.
"I’ll go back home too. I’m not staying here for a niece who is the devil herself. I’m sorry brother, but I can’t just look past the warriors who die because she had been feeling bored and wanted to kill people.
"This girl, this woman ruined most of the vampire’s lives. And if you have plans to bring her home, then one of us has to go and prepare Drarun, whatever is left of it anyway since Rania had already sent a strike team there.
"I’m sorry if this might come off as a betrayal to you and I both know we can burn our people for one unthankful crazy woman. Even if she is my niece. Even she would understand the decision I am making.
"She was once a luna and she knows we put our people before family," Leader Bai Ting said and Nate felt his heart shattered into pieces.
He had always hoped that he would find the body of his daughter and he had found her alive. He was happy about that but even he couldn’t overlook the damage that Yanna Petrova had done to his people.
If they were to accept her then they had to be ready for whatever was to come. They had to prepare themselves for the inevitable because this was one of those situations.
Yanna, who was slowly losing her breath, could hear her uncle’s voice and she could hear the disappointment so clearly.
She knew that what she had done wasn’t expect her ticket through the gates of Drarun and just like leader Bai had said, Yanna understood the choice he had to make. Drarun was bigger than one woman.
Drarun had people, and lives, it had a whole battalion that was ready to rise up. More than anything, Drarun had the life they needed to be protected, yet somehow, Yanna had pointed a target on her people’s backs without even knowing it.
It was heartbreaking, seeing as she had been the one to send the worst of the worst home, to ruin them. Maybe in another lifetime, they would forgive her, right? Maybe they would make her understand that she affected many more lives, right?
"Go. I’ll be fine here and I hope that someday, even if it’s a thousand years from now. I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me, uncle," Yanna said defeatedly as her head slumped.
