Alpha King of Fire

THE DECISION

FIRA’S POV

We both looked at the door when we heard a continuous knock to the door.

“Your majesty, King is here.”

I breathed easily as I heard that. Janus took a look at me before he went to the door and opened it. Zephyrus was obviously looking for me. “I came here for Fira.” He bravely fought the stare of Janus.

I grabbed the comforter and slowly covered my body.

Despite what Janus did to me, I could not feel mad at him. He had a reason why he was like that. I want him to see the old him. Even if Zephyrus gets me from him tonight, I will still go back to check on him. His heart is just covered by pain and anger.

He is not him.

“She’s gonna sleep with me tonight. Didn’t King Arealdo tell you about this?” Janus stretched his hand to my side when he saw that I was moving my body down to come closer to Zephyrus.

“If you don’t give me Fira now. Fight me then.” Zephyrus stood straightly, looking at him with a threat on his expression.

I could see that there was no joke in Zephyrus words. He was livid at the moment. He did not need to do this to me, Janus will still be my friend no matter what.

I moved backward. “Go on, King Wind.” I bowed my head. I did not want to cause trouble between them. This was not good. “I’ll stay.”

The shock was immediately written on Zephyrus face. “But…” He stared at Janus and then went back to me.

“I’m good. I’m great. Don’t worry.” I gave him a wide smile and I made sure that it would not seem fake.

“Good night.” Janus slowly dragged the door to shut. I could see that Zephyruus could not still believe.

When Janus faced me, there was a little emotion of guilt that was drawing at his face. He put his arm at my shoulder and then fixed the comforter. “Go to the bed.”

I just nodded with a small smile on my lips. The fact that my heart was pounding was so uncommon. I was nervous about him. While looking at Zephyrus and Janus before. I was ready to run faster and went to Zephyrus and hit, I remembered what Hali taught me about ‘trust.’ Even the worst person in the entire Earth was seeking for trust and I needed to work for it to be able to distance myself from hurting. I was not sure if this would be effective, but at least I did this without injuring him.

He sat at the bed, gazing at nowhere. I thought that my plan was affecting him. He was now thinking about his wrong doing to me. Then suddenly, he crawled at the bed, laid next to me, rested his face on my chest, and then close his eyes. “If someday, you decided to go with me. Just tell me. Good night.”

I won. Now, I saw my friend. The man that once I admired. All I just need to do is to let him know that I am beside him. He has me and that will bring back the moment that he never thinks of anything, but just the goodness of helping me to find my father.

I embraced him back and stroked his hair. “I… found my father.”

He opened his eyes, gazed up at me with the surprise in his emotion. “Where is he?”

“At the Slavery.”

His mouth moved apart. “We’ll get him.”

“No, he’s fine. Don’t start a war with the Elemental Kingdom. I can get him out of it.” I looked at him with peerly. “Can I have a favor?”

He just nodded at me. I hugged him so tight. “Please find yourself again. I am missing you.”

“Join me at my pack. Be my wife.”This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

***************

Janus gave me a week to think about his offer. If I accepted that, me and Eira could live peacefully in his pack under his protection. That would be good, but my father would be at the Elemental Kingdom unless I talked to Pyro. As if he would be going to speak with me

He hates me.

But I can manage it. Whether he shouts or shows me how angry he is. I will accept that. If I will go with Janus, it does not matter anymore at least I saw him one last time.

“Eira, if I go somewhere…” I stopped fixing my uniform. I was looking at the reflection of the mirror. “Me, father, and you. If we can be together again, will you be with us and leave the Elemental Kingdom?”

Eira froze, she observed my face and then looked away. “There’s no place I’ll be happy except on my family’s side.”

I moved my head from up and down. I prevented the production of tears. I should not cry. I need to decide well and I will ensure the safety of all. I heard that KIng Fire had already arrived, he did not bring back the Princess, but their marriage would be a month from now.

That means they will marry each other. No excuses. It was a KIngdom’s demand, people’s hierarchy.

I found myself, walking in the hallway, holding a hot chocolate, going to the way where King Fire’s room was. My chest was choking. I could not breathe normally. I could not see myself anymore. The Fira who just loves to smile, laugh and tell a story. Before, the sadness had no room in me.

But now, when I met Pyro. Everything was messed up.

I stood in front of the door of King Fire. Seryo was not here, no guards or anyone. Just him and his piano. I recognized that he was playing because I could hear it from the inside.

I slowly hit the door with a soft knock. As usual, he did not open it unless he found out that it was me. “It’s Fira, your majesty.”

I gasped for air when the sound of the piano stopped. I gazed at the door for a second, breathing heavily as the nervousness filled my heart. I was waiting for him to open the door. I looked down on the cup of chocolate.

If you don’t open the door. You might not see me anymore.

I waited and waited for him to give me an entrance to move to his room, but seconds, minutes and horse had passed… the door was still shut.

The silence covered the area. My traitor tears started to crawl from my eyes to my cheek.

I love you, Pyro. I love you so much and no matter where I go, you will always in my heart. No one can steal your spot from it.

I slowly turned my back when I realized that there was no hope that he would open the door for me. I was about to step when I heard the creak of the door. I froze to where I was standing. I grabbed an air to pull all the bravery I had.

“Move in. Don’t stay long.”
