The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

Chapter 379 A Thousand-Year-Old Love?

[HUDHAYFAH]

Everything was okay in Greyson but Hudhayfah was not okay. His life had taken a pause since he had seen Farida in Sicario. She reminded him of the one person he had sworn to love until his very last day.

His mate.

His Perihan.

The one man he met at the Halloween ball in the Free Lands.

It was the ultimate Halloween ball because he not only had so much fun and even found his mate, but he lost him on that same day. Hudhayfah knew his mate had been a man and he had looked for him for years and years.

Given that Hudhayfah hadn't sensed any supernatural powers from his mate when he bumped into him all those years ago, Hudhayfah assumed his mate was a human who had crossed the borders to enjoy the party just like every Halloween.

All humans had a lifespan of a hundred years, so when he looked for his Perihan in the first hundred years and never found him, Hudhayfah prayed to the goddess for his Perihan's reincarnation.

He didn't mind what gender his Perihan would be reborn as really, or even what race.

All Hudhayfah wanted was the chance to see his mate again. He would do whatever he needed to get him back whether he was a male or female, a dog or human or whatever creature the goddess saw fit.

He would find his mate.

Five hundred years later he hadn't been able to find his Perihan, until he saw Farida. Hudhayfah wasn't sure what Farida's true identity was but he had a feeling that she was the reincarnation of his Perihan.

Sure, Farida wouldn't ever accept it and Hudhayfah knew it too, but then he was a patient man. He had waited five hundred years for his Perihan, so what was a few months more?

"I know it's her, even if she keeps denying it. I won't stop until she understands that I mean no harm. She is my mate, Sherry. How else am I supposed to prove that to her?" Hudhayfah asked sadly as he stared in the direction of Sicario.

For months, he had hoped to talk to Farida and yet in all the months, the woman who called him Karim had left his side. Well, she had never been there in the first place, but the fact that she wasn't even willing to listen to him was breaking his heart.

Hudhayfah wanted his Perihan. That was the only word he remembered for the meeting with his mate and now where she was, staring at Sicario in the hopes that the moon goddess would hear him.

He had prayed for years and if this was the answer to that prayer, he was not going to let that chance go.

"If he reincarnated into Farida, and you only ever met him once, how would he know your middle or even last name? Perhaps Farida just knows you because she has been working in Sicario for a long time.

"Given that she wants to make Hawi's life easier, she needs to know everything about everyone around her. Just like we do with Rukiya. Maybe you are overthinking this, Hudhayfah," Sherry tried to reason but for a man who had been looking for his mate for years and years, he wasn't about to let this go.

Hudhayfah had almost found all hope of living and he had let himself age because he thought it was best to live the rest of his life like the humans, but now that there was a chance that Farida was his Perihan, he wasn't going to let her go.

He would cast an aging spell to take him back to the age he had been five hundred years ago. Perhaps that would be easier for his Perihan to know him, right?

Maybe if he removed the contact lenses he constantly wore and changed his appearance back to how he had been all those years, Farida would know him, right?

Oh, but Hudhayfah was hoping for a lot of things at the moment, but none more than to feel the spark he had felt when he had bumped into his Perihan.

It had been an instantaneous thing and before Hudhayfah could even look back he was thrust into a crowd, eventually missing the one man he had never hoped to find and that too in the middle of a Halloween ball riddled with all the factions.

It was a dangerous gamble at the moment, but one he was more than willing to give in to.

"But what if I'm right, Sherry? What if she is the man I waited for this whole time? What if our souls know each other… shouldn't I at least try? Maya if I change to who I was she will want me. Maybe–" Hudhayfah rambled on and Sherry watched in silence.

She may not have had someone to love over the years but she had seen enough people in love to know that Hudhayfah's heart yearned for that particular feeling. She couldn't blame him for wanting it again.

"How about this… go to her, and hold her hand. If she is really your mate, if she is the one for you, regardless of what body she bears, then you will know. You will feel the sparks. Go and test that out then you can decide.

"Remember the goddess never abandons her creation. That's why we wolves live long since the goddess wants us to be happier with our soulmates. If she really is the man you are looking for then you will know.

"The sparks are always there regardless of how much time passes. I'll take care of things here in Greyson, and before you say it's too much for me, we have the SDT warriors, we have the Lycans and I have Harry too.

"So go, Hudhayfah, go find out if she really is your Perihan," Sherry said, and Hudhayfah sighed. He wasn't sure it was the best of ideas, but he had been so obsessed with Farida from the onset.

Continue your journey with empire

Maybe this was his chance to get the answers he was seeking, right? Besides, he didn't have to worry about the wards that protected Sicario, since he could portal there and his magic wouldn't take him to limbo like any other foreign magic.

As he looked at Sherry, Hudhayfah felt the blood rise to his cheeks. He was already thinking of what he would do if he was right and Farida really was it for him. Oh, how his heart was yearning for more than he could take on at the moment, but at least he had a reason to keep going, right?

"Go… you're blushing already. And make sure you cast that spell or she will be surprised that you look a thousand years older than time," Sherry snickered and Hudhayfah just chuckled.

This was not what he had expected but the only way to confirm if it was true was to go back to Sicario and see Farida for himself. Perhaps fate as a better judge this time, right?

"Okay, okay. I'll cast the spell so you know what I look like when I come back and don't think I'm one of the Russel rats we are trying to eliminate," Hudhayfah said before he cast a spell that took him back to his twenty-eight-year-old body that he had been in at the ™ he met his Perihan.

"Holy shit… if she doesn't want you, you can have me," Sherry muttered and Hudhayfah laughed as he created a portal to Sicario to see his fate.
