Alpha King of Fire

THE ADVICE FROM KING WATER

FIRA’S POV

The whole day, all I did was doing my duty as an Omega. Cass said that Zephyrus was calling me, but I just gave her a reason not to see me. I was not in myself today. I did not want to talk to kings. After my duty, I was looking for my father again, but I did not see him. I waited in the chambers of the royals.

No father.

I caught myself, walking towards the river. The night was deafening. The cold air was hugging my skin. My feet brought me to the location where me and Pyro shared our lovely memories together. I could still remember the Full Moon, the kiss, the embrace, the laughter… his touch.

The liquid was produced in my eyes until it rolled to my cheek. I silently sobbed, I folded my knee and hugged it.

You told me to not give up on us. You taught me to be strong and fight for our love, but it seems that we are not destined to be together.

I raised my hand and looked at my wrist. I wished that the symbol was still here.

You leave me. You cheated. You broke my trust.

I blinked two times to ease the tears, but it did not want to go away. I watched the falls, it was so beautiful, but my feelings were not. Pyro would leave the kingdom with the Princess. I would not see him even a glimpse. That was what he wanted. To be with her. I should be happy for him, but I would not fake my feelings. I felt the choking of my chest, the stinging sensation that was crawling all over me.

I love him so much, but love is sometimes never enough. Not all the time love can cover the pain. We can’t count the sacrifices and rebate it to him. Not all promises are fulfilled. Not all lovers ended up together. Not all people stay happy.

The fact… people will leave us in the most unacceptable, unexpected and painful ways.

Even if we once see him in the future. Even if we once sure that he is the person for us.

Nobody can dictate what tomorrow can bring us.

I looked up at the falls, closed my eyes and felt the air. I heard the waves of the water, the moving trees, all the things that I could hear in nature.

Pyro…

I laid on the big rock, seeing the dark sky with the sky scattering around that.

When is the time that I will no longer feel the sadness and pain?

“Care to tell me what’s in your mind?”

I looked at my side. It was Hali, staring at me with no emotion face.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“I don’t need to spell it out. You know what it is.” I stopped my eyes at the side of his cheek. “Is it Pyro’s punch last night?”

“Nope.” He gave me a small smile, he sat next to me and looked at the sky. “It’s his punch today.”

“What?” I was surprised. That was why I sat and glanced at his face for so long.

“It’s my fault. I just love teasing him.”

I gave him a small grin. I touched his cheek. He winced. “Oh? That is strong. It hurts?”

“Of course.”

I chuckled, teasing him by choking his cheek with my index finger.

“Stop torturing me.” He rolled his eyes. “Do you want to have training today?”

I laid on the rock again and watched the twinkling of the stars. “I’m not going to have training. I quit.”

“Okay.”

I thought he was going to force me to continue, but he was not that kind of person. “How’s Zarya? Did you talk to her?”

“She doesn’t want to talk to me so I did the same thing.” He laid beside me, making his arms a pillow. “The stone is cold.”

“You should give her flowers or something sweet.” I raised my hand, played with the stars, tracing a line.

“I’m not the kind of man who gives sh*ts. I only fuck.” His tone was full of authority.

“I pity you.” My voice was just lower.

He stared at my face with a question mark. The spark in his eyes was innocent about the things that he needed to know when it came to girls. He did not even know to kiss with soft and gentle. I felt that last time. He was not like Pyro who was handling me with care like a fragile vase that if you do not take care, it will break.

“You should learn how to pursue a woman.”

“I didn’t need that. Everyone is deadly over heels to me.”

“Well…” I grinned and shook my head, teasing him. “Not Zarya.”

“She is!” He sounded defensive. His voice was also raised as if I was fighting with him when in fact I only said that Zarya was not like all of them.

“If she is, where is she now?” My voice was playing even on my face. I laughed as I observed his mouth open and closed, but did not say any word. “She’s ignoring you, isn’t she?”

His expression seemed to be annoyed. “She’s just mad. She’ll go with me if her head cools down.”

“What if she hates you forever? And eventually, she finds another man who can fill her-”

“Hole? No way! I’m the-”

“Crap, Hali! I was saying her heart! Fill her heart not the thing down there!” I was blushing while saying that to him. “You didn’t know anything except perverse!”

“I’m a man.” He shrugged his shoulders. “So what am I gonna do?”

“Like what I said, give her flowers, be sweet to her, and most important thing… an apology.” I snapped my hands in front of him. “Bring the sugar in you!”

“Do I really need to bring her sugar? What can she do about it?” He was so innocent, that was why I laughed so hard. I even held my stomach while rolling at the broad black rock.

“What?” His forehead was waving as if he found me weird.

“Not the literal sugar! I mean you should be extra sweet! Like…” I raised my hands, cupped his cheek, and acted as if I was him. “I can’t live without you. Please go back to me because I…” I was a good actress, making my eyes twinkle in admiration for him. “I love you.”

He blinked two times as he was looking at me. One second of silence until we both laughed.

“That does not suit you.” He was chuckling. After a few seconds, he became silent. “But thank you for the advice. I’ll grab it.”

“Just be patient. I don’t want you to end up like this. Like me and Pyro, separate ways.” The sadness came back to my face.

He tapped my shoulder. “He loves you. Don’t say things that aren’t final.”
