Alpha King of Water

A CURSE

HALI’S POV

We tried everything that we wanted in the Human World. He taught me how to ride an MRT and LRT. We also rode the bus and arrived at the biggest mall in Asia. I chuckled cutely when Hali was holding my hands tightly. We stood by at the escalator, going up.

“You didn’t go to the mall?”

“We did… but only twice? When Khal had a concert and when I badly need to buy Alisha’s napkin.”

I laughed again. “You did that to Alisha?”

“Yeah, why not? But I hate malls, it’s cold here and people are annoying.” He gazed at the side.

“You’re right.” Women were looking at Hali as if they saw an actor like my brother Khal. We had a solo flight and did not bring others because of Khal popularity. We did not want to be messed up by his fans.

When we went to the second floor, there were a group of teenagers who came near Hali and took a picture with him. Like, duh? He was not an artist or an actor. He was just an ordinary Hali Aiker in this Human World. If he was at the Elemental Kingdom, I would understand that everybody knew him, but in this place? It was unbelievable.

“Sorry. Wait. My girlfriend is there. I’m not a superstar or what.” Hali was annoyed with the ladies, therefore I went to them and pulled him away. I was afraid that he might shout at them.

“Told you. They were annoying.”

“Because you are one hot king.” I rested my face on his arm. I was too small for him. We looked like he was my big brother and I was his small sister. “Can we go to the clothes shop?”

“Anywhere you want.”

When we arrived there, I chose everything that I liked. He was curious why I was picking so many. “Don’t you have a penny?”

“I have. Zephyrus gave me.”

“Why did he give you?” He sat on the long waiting black couch.

“I told him we had a date today. He voluntarily reached for my hand and placed money.” I looked at the white body con dress. Hali did not want me to wear like this, so I just placed it back on the hanger. “You know… at times you were rude to Zephyrus. I saw him one of the mornings when I was gone, he brought an egg pie to your chamber.”

“He used to do that to his brothers, even to Pyro when the assigned omegas were not around.”He folded his arms below the chest.

“I talked to him last time…” I gazed back at Hali. “He’s inviting me into his house here at the Human World.”

“You want?”

“Yeah. We’ll go there, then.”

After buying so many brand new clothes, I also bought a gift for Zephyrus’ lover. Hali said she was a nurse. Zephyrus and her were living in the same house.

Time passed, and we arrived at Zephyrus’ house. Should I say it was a mansion? It was so big that even a thousand people could be fitted here. Hali supported me to go down in the cab. I was startled by how beautiful it was.

“Zephyrus is the owner of one of the biggest companies in Asia.”

“Really?” My eyes widened. That was why he could give me money in an instant.

“He worked hard for it. When our father knew about this, he was so mad, but eventually accepted it. He just needs to be careful about the family’s secret.”

“How come that he came up with his huge house and successful company?”

“Maybe in his story, you should know.” Hali grinned at me when he held my hand. We walked inside the house. Guards with guns were scattered around. Zephyrus was a successful businessman, but he has never been boastful to anybody. He was humble in everything.

“Hali!”

My feet stopped stepping when a beautiful blonde woman waved her hand to us. She ran and hugged me. “Is this Zarya Wixx?”

“Yup.” Hali answered shortly.

“Hi! I’m Aither Verlice, Zephyrus’ wife.”

My eyes widened in shock. “Do you mean…”

“They were married in the Human World.” Hali could guess what was in my head. He rolled his one arm to my shoulder. “Anyway, where’s my brother?”

“Oh, that. He’s with the foundation. Carrying food for the kids.” Aither wrapped her hand to my wrist. “You must be hungry.”

“Yeah, super,” Hali answered even though Aither was talking to me.

I was surprised by how big their house was. The chandeliers were everywhere. It was like every single thing was made up of gold.

“Did Higher King know that they’re married?” I whispered to Hali as Aither prepared our food with two maids.

“By no means… Marriage in the Human World was nonsense to the Alpha King’s World. I haven’t got a clue what will happen if he found out.”

Aither was smiling when she put many different recipes on our front. “Eatwell. Let’s just wait for Zephyrus. I’ll call him.”

This was the reason why all during my stay at the Elemental Kingdom, Zephyrus was always not around. Raiden was just covering him from their father. He just told him that he went to help the farmers or sometimes at the library. He was breaking the laws, he went to the Human World all the time.

“Sugar, I’m home!” Zephyrus’ voice echoed around the house due to its size.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Guess what? We have visitors.” Aither’s hands were on Zephyrus’ back.

“Hell, Balls!” Zephyrus immediately ran to Hali and teasingly kissed him on the cheek. “I missed you, Balls.”

“Hell, Fucker!” I thought Hali would be annoyed, but he hugged him back as if they were a couple of cuddling, which was why I and Aither laughed. “You, dead. Father is looking for you for one week now.”

“I have business here and a wife to be with. If only I can live here, I do.” Zephyrus’ grabbed a bread and fitted it to his mouth. He was chewing when he spoke up again. “Take my position as Alpha King Of Wind.”

“Fuck you. You should go back or else, Father will ask Pyro to burn your hella Wind Pack.” Hali started to eat.

I and Aither were just listening to them. They were talking as if they were best friends who understand each other.

“He mustn’t do that. I don’t wanna go back there. They arranged marriage to a strange princess. You know… I’m married.” Zephyrus moved his head down and blew a sigh. “I’m not planning on leaving Aither.”

“I have no comment on that, but you must know that you have duties at the Elemental Kingdom.” Hali gave me the bowl of Asado, one of the best Filipino dishes.

The hush covered the dining area. Only the tick of the fork and spoon could be heard. We ate peacefully and after that, Zephyrus showed us his favorite part of the house, the rooftop. It had different flowers such as Gumamela, Roses, and other wonderful flowering plants.

In the middle of my walking, I heard Hali and Zephyrus whispering. “I remind you. Don’t impregnate Aither.”

“I know. I know.”

Why? Is there something wrong with that? They were married? But why was prohibited for them to have no child?

“I say it again, so you can’t forget. Your child with a human will be a monster.”

My hands dropped when I was about to touch the red rose. I gazed at Hali and Zephyrus.

If that is so, Zephyrus and Aither must not have a child, or else it will be a monster? How come? Another rule for an Alpha King? Or a curse?
