Alpha King of Fire

ATTEMPTED KISS

PYRO’S POV

“Thirty slashes.” King Oswald ordered.

“Oh, no! No way!” Zephyrus stomped his feet on the ground.

“Forty slashes.” Our father’s echoed in my ears. That was hurtful, I was sure of that.

Oh!” They all groaned in annoyance.

“Fifty slashes.” King Oswald turned his back at us while shaking his head. We closed our mouths. That was flesh ripping.

“Nice one, Zephyrus.” Hali looked at him badly. “Finally, we will have fifty sla-”

“Excluding Raiden.” Father said. “For now, sleep. When the sun completely rises, you will be in the courtroom.” He looked at us, one by one. “Going to a nightclub, really?” His corner lip went up. “Be ready for your punishment.” He paused. “By the way, good morning.” Note the sarcasm in his voice.

We watched him walking away until his figure could not see anymore.

What kind of policy is that? Raiden was excluded? Seriously?

“Wow! Raiden will not have the punishment? Really wow!” Zephyrus was looking at him with a giggling expression.

“You report us? Huh?” Hali moved closer to him and held his collar.

Raiden smirked and raised his eyebrows. “I am not. I said I was there on purpose.”

“You are lying!” Hali was about to punch him when I held his fist.

“He said he was there on purpose, that means father ordered something for him.” That was forcing myself to talk again. If Hali punched him, the fifty slashes would rise. We were not allowed to hurt each other except when we were in the training.

“Did you really not tell our father, did you?” Colden’s calm voice asked Raiden.

Raiden shook his head. “I didn’t. I was there when the four of you came. Actually, I was there at noon.”

I stared at Hali. His face was now relaxed. I held his fist and removed it from holding Raiden’s collar. “Believe him.”

“Fine!” Hali was still annoyed when he turned his back and walked away from us.

“Thanks, Pyro.” Raiden tapped my shoulder as he blew air, he was sleepy. “Good morning, Brothers. Go and take a nap. I will prepare the medicine for your backs. Maybe the one that can heal immediately and with pain relievers.” He walked to the long hallway.

“I will go, Pyro.” Colden waved his hand. I just gave him a slight nod.

“Me, too.” Zephyrus said goodbye before walking away. He was swaying from left to right while holding the wall. A drunk man. Probably when he woke up, he would forget that he was going to take fifty slashes.

I stepped lazily, going to my room when I thought of walking to the kitchen to grab water. My head was aching. I gulped plenty of alcohol. I should drink coffee or something.

I walked inside. My eyes were blinking open and close to prohibit myself from sleeping. I opened the refrigerator and grabbed the cold water. We had no other technologies, except for the important ones like this.

When I twisted my body to face the table, I was shocked when Fira was on the sink. She was humming while washing the dishes.

Did she wake up early all the time? It was just 3 AM.

I watched her wipe the plate with the white clean rug. “Lalala. The beautiful morning is coming!” She grabbed two plates and walked towards the cabinet, but unfortunately, she was about to split by her own feet so I immediately ran fast. I wrapped my hands on her waist.

Her eyes widened as she stared at my face. “King Fire?”

“Clumsy.” I moved aside and removed my hands on her.

“Thank you.” She bowed her head.

I just turned around and held my glass again. I drank the full content in a straight way. I felt like my throat was dry because of my touch on her skin. Good thing, I managed to remove it immediately.

“Why are you here, Pyro?” Fira went towards me and stared at my face.

“Obviously, drinking.” I raised my hand with the glass holding it. Then, I moved away and turned my back.

“Wait! King Fire, would you mind if I give you a coffee? You look drunk and your face is red. Your eyes, too. I am sure you have a headache right now.”

I had no idea what happened to me when my lips formed a small curve. Only a little. I prohibited myself from smiling. When I faced her again, there was no emotion on my face.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

I moved closer. She moved back. I stepped forward again. She stepped back until there was no space behind her. I cornered her with my hands pinning on the corner of the table. She was located in the middle of my arms.

I did not know what my feelings were all about. I felt like being close to her like this.

She was trembling as she stared at my eyes. I gulped my saliva when my eyes viewed her lips.

Is this the effect of alcohol? If it is, I need to go away from her, but instead of moving apart, I stepped closer. I tilted my head and memorized the details of her face. From her almond eyes, perfectly formed nose and… and thin beautiful heart shaped lips.

There was something on me that wanted to be closer until there was no space between us. Until I could feel her body. I was sensing the igniting feeling inside me. Even my…

What is that? My you know. Something strange was happening to me. It was normal for a guy to feel like that, but not this time. With this girl? Unbelievable.

There was an urge to be attractive to her lips, to her body and I did not want that feeling.

I never noticed that I was slowly moving closer again. I titled my head and was about to kiss her when she spoke.

“No, please.” Her voice was a plea on it.

My eyes widened when I realized that she was so scared of me.

I was not in my proper mind.

I moved closer again and grabbed the glass on his back just to escape from embarrassment.

“I just got my water.” I raised the glass and gave her a shy small smile.
