Alpha King of Fire

ZEPHYRUS: THE BLABBY KING

PYRO’S POV

I was leaning on the door as my brothers: Hali and Colden, woke up Zephyrus. They were rocking his bed like an earthquake, like they always did when they were waking me up.

“Wake up! We need to go to the courtroom! Father is waiting for us! Didn’t you know that?” Hali was annoyed, he was shaking Zephyrus’ shoulder and tapping his face.

“Do you want ten more slashes?” Colden was concerned, too.

We needed to go to the courtroom before 10 AM, that would be difficult for us, we were getting whipped, fifty slashes. Probably painful.

“Oh, come on!” Hali jumped on the bed and fell on Zephyrus’ body, but it did not work. He was snoring like a sleeping beauty.

“Get some water and throw it to him.” I said it comfortably. My back was still on the wall, my feet were crossed and my arms were folded.

“Good idea.” Colden clapped with a smile on his lips. He immediately moved, causing the bed to dip. Then, he ran to the doors. “Guards, get us water. Please!” His voice was soft and calm as usual. He looked at me and smiled handsomely. “Thanks, Pyro.”

I blinked two times and blew a sigh. “Welcome.” I forced myself to open my mouth.

Suddenly, the guards opened the door and brought the drum of water in front of the bed. That made me a bit excited. He did not say a drum of water, did he? I was laughing in my mind, but emotion was cool. For sure Zephyrus would take his early bath.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Yes!” Hali smirked like an evil beast. “Throw it into his fac-”

“I am awake!” Zephyrus stretched his arms with a teasing smile on his lips. That means he was not really sleeping, he was awake and he was just kidding my two brothers.

“We don’t mind!” Hali lifted up the drum and threw the water to Zephyrus. Their laughs filled the room. It was funny to watch them, but I could not curve my lips. I was lazy.

“Justice, Hali! I will report you to my father! You drown my bed in water! Look at this! I will tell him not to slash me and my slash will be given to you!” Zephyrus immediately went out of the bed and grabbed a robe on his cabinet.

“As if he will listen?” Hali’s laugh was getting loud. Colden was also chuckling while covering his mouth.

“Didn’t you finish your playtime?” We all looked at the door. Raiden was standing there, with a serious face. “Father is waiting. Don’t make him wait. Your whip would be added.”

“Fine. Fine.” Zephyrus nodded. He gazed at me with a smirk on his lips. “I think it will be hard for you, Pyro. This is your first slash session.” He moved closer to me and tapped my shoulder. “Sorry, Bud.”

Hali tapped my shoulder, too, and whispered in my ear. “Don’t cry, okay?”

I just shook my head and removed their hands recklessly. “Say that to yourself.”

Yeah, this would be my first time and I had no idea what it felt like. I was pretty sure that it would be painful. I just hoped that I would not blackout. I was not used to whipping, only knife or sword cuts punish, or kicks.

“Even if our father punishes me now, I will still go back to the city. It does not matter.” Zephyrus was talkative again. He was conversing with Colden and Hali. I was just behind them, following them.

I looked back and saw Raiden, gazing straightly on their backs. I wondered what his father told him to do?

“King Lightning?” That was my first time using that respect for today.

“Hmmm?” He walked faster and stopped beside me. We were now walking on the same level.

“What did father order you?” I did not know if he would answer me because Raiden was not the kind of man who would tell important details to the person who did not trust him.

“He wants me to find the lost Luna of Archimedes.” His eyes were just in front. He was not looking at me directly.

“Why?” I had no idea, but I found myself interested in what he was saying.

“Interested?” Raiden’s serious expression was visible.

“Yes. So tell me.” I kept my ear listening to him. The first that I heard was a sigh.

“I found her already, but she didn’t want to go back to their kingdom. The truth is we are in a fixed marriage. She is my mate. But I can’t force her to be with their kingdom. You know…” He shrugged with a bit of disappointment in his face. “I hate disrespecting women.”

I moved my head in an up and down direction, which means I understand him. “What’s your plan?”

“Wait for her when she decides to be with me?” A loud sigh came out of his mouth. “I have been searching for how to get a woman’s heart and it is difficult to do. They need flowers, affection, care and love, and many more. Actually, those are not in my vocabularies.”

I almost smiled when he said that. His problem was huge. Getting a woman’s heart was the thing that would not learn or read from the books he was studying, it would come out naturally. And I bet he would not do such a thing if he was not in love with that woman. Well… that was what I learned from the mouth of Zephyrus who was a love guru.

“Good luck.” Finally, I managed to smirk at him.

“That is what you can say? I thought you are giving me advice or you will help me that is why I told you?”

“Told him, what?” We were both shocked when Zephyrus suddenly came out from the middle of us with a big smile on his lips. “What are the secrets? Yohoo! Tell me, come on! I will help you. Spell out, my dear brothers! Spell-pwe!”

Raiden put a ballpen on his mouth to make him shit. I did not know where he got that or maybe he was holding that before, I had not noticed. I was irritated by Zephyrus ‘ mouth-I was not the only one. Raiden, too.

“You are such an evil, Bookworm!” Zephyrus glared at Raiden, but when Raiden’s eyes sharpened he stopped talking. That was what I like about Zephyrus, he hated the feeling of his brothers mad at him. He just wanted a good relationship with us even though sometimes, I mean all the time he was joking around. Not just to us, but to all the people in the Elemental Kingdom. Even the guards were his friends.

“Good morning, my sons!” Father greeted us from the moment our feet stomp on the ground of the courtroom.

“Good morning, Father!” We all said. I pushed my voice to come out.

“Are you ready for your punishment?” His eyes stared at us, one by one.

“Yes, Father.” “No, Father.”

We gazed at Zephyrus who said, ‘No, Father.’ He was really insane.

He smiled widely with his small eyes. “Of course. I am ready, Father! Hehe.”

“Why did you go to the nightclub?” His stare at us became intense. That made me gulp my saliva to wet my throat. “King Fire?”

I managed to give him a small smile. “To enjoy, Father.” That was the only thing I could say when in fact, I went there to see Fira. That was a scam, she was not there.

“That’s it?” His eyebrow wrinkled.

“Yup-”

“Of course, Father, enjoy the night. What did people do in the nightclub? Drinking, dancing like this!” Zephyrus swayed his hips while his hands were raising up, waving. “Party people! Let’s be wasted tonight and f*ck p*ssy!” That made everyone laugh, even the guards.

“I am not talking to you, King Wind!”

“Ops.” Zephyrus covered his mouth with a shy chuckle. “Sorry.”
