Alpha King of Fire

I’M YOUR MATE

FIRA’S POV

“Are you sure you can go home?” I held Janus’ left arm to support him from standing. The doctor treated him already with the best medicine they had. It was also bandaged well after cleaning.

“No worries.” He gave me a wide smile. “Thank you for taking care of me.”

“No. You don’t need to say that. My duty is to take care of you. I’m sorry for what happened.”

He stood up and touched my shoulder. “Don’t apologize.” He blew a loud sigh. “Anyway, I will go. See you tomorrow if they give you permission to go to the mining area.”

“Don’t work. I’ll go to your house to bring you medicine and food. All you need to do is to rest.”

“Thank you.”

I accompanied him to the front yard. He prohibited me from going with him because it was too dark in the way. After saying goodbye to each other he walked away. I felt pity for him. I should talk to that crazy King Fire.

Crap! He has no reason to hurt him.

I immediately marched towards his room with the giggling in my teeth. When I arrived, Seryo blocked the way.

“King Fire is sleeping now. Go back tomorrow, Omega.”

“I just need to talk to him. This is urgent.”

“He said… no one disturbed him. If someone did, give them fifty slashes.”

My shoulder dropped. That King knew that I was scared of slashes that was why he used his power not to confront me. “Fine. Just tell him, I want to talk to him tomorrow.”

“King Fire didn’t need anyone. He will have training tomorrow and he said, Fira is not allowed to go near him.”

“What?” I glared at the closed door.

Crap! Are you out of your mind, Pyro? You hurt Janus and now, you do not want to talk to me? What is your problem!

“That’s an order. My duty is to do what he wants, not to question him.” Seryo held his sword, that was why I gulped my saliva. I knew that this guard was loyal to King Fire. He would risk his life just to protect him.

“Okay. Just tell him. Good night.”

After the tiring event, I went to the Omega’s Quarter. I was tip-toeing not to harm myself from creating a noise. I slowly opened the door and my body trembled in shock when I saw Eira looking at me sharply.

“Where have you been! You don’t know how worried I am!” Eira crossed her arms and waited for my answer.

“I’m finding our father.”

“Did you see him?” Her face softened. The body relaxed while observing the emotion on my face.

“Didn’t.” I sat on the bed and looked down. “But I am still determined to find him.”

“I’m looking for him, too. I seek him from King Ice.” She dragged the wooden chair and sat in front of me. It was obvious that she was lacking sleep even though I left her sleeping tight. Maybe after I went out, she would wake up and never sleep again because of worrying.

“King Ice? I thought you were mad at him for taking advantage of you?” My eyebrows knitted into its wavest level.

“Yes, but I left no option. The kings are powerful. They can scope wider connections and areas.” She was letting out a long sigh of frustration. “You don’t need to go in the middle of the night. Just wait in the morning.”

“I can’t wait. Saza is too strict even if I told her, she didn’t care at all.”

“That Omega’s boiling my blood! She is so irritating! She is always finding mistakes for me so she has reason to whip me!” Eira giggled. Her fists closed tightly, grabbing her nightie.

“Same. What’s her problem?”

“Her problem is we are more beautiful than her ugly duckling face! And kings are favoring us because we are good omegas. Not like her, no one pays attention to look at her!”

A small smile formed on my lips. Eira looked more pretty when she was mad. Her face was getting red and the giggling was obvious in her expression. She looked like the younger version of our mother.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Sleep, Fira. Tomorrow is a long day. I will find ways to escape from ugly duckling Saza.” She raised her feet and started to climb up in the top bed of our double deck. “Good night.”

“Good night, Big Sis.”

When I woke up in the morning, Eira was not in our room. I only saw a note that she worked early so she could leave early.

I prepared myself first before going out of our room. As usual, I washed the dishes and ready the foods of the royals. After all was done, we fell in line at the corner of the long table and waited for them to come.

First, King Arealdo showed up with his hand holding the shoulder of Colden. I always saw him with Colden, it felt like his favorite son was him or I was just judging him inappropriately. They both sat on the table. King Arealdo was in the middle of the table.

After a few seconds, my heart pumped recklessly when I saw Zephyrus, Raiden, Hali and at their back was Pyro, walking without energy. He seemed not to have enough sleep. His hair was messy and his eyes were barely closed.

“Good morning, Father!” They all greeted their father. All of us greeted them, too.

“Good morning, my sons.” King Arealdo had a beautiful wide smile on his face.

Zephyrus immediately jumped on the chair and started to eat without saying anything that made them all look at him.

“Not the attitude of a king.” Raiden slapped his shoulder.

“Ouch! Father, King Lightning is so harsh to me! You see him?” Zephyrus acting like a child, reporting his brother with a pout on his lips.

“Let him eat, King Lightning. You know King Wind loves to eat.” Their father looked at Raiden sharply.

“That’s not an act of a king, Father. He is like a spoiled brat childish.” Raiden had a serious face as he sat beside Zephyrus.

“Spoiled Brat Childish.” Hali was teasing Zephyrus with a make face on his reaction as he sat beside Cold on the left side.

Pyro did not say anything. He just sat on the right side of Colden and grabbed his fork. He knew that I was here because his eyes met me, but he averted it immediately. He seemed to be avoiding me.

“Father, can we play basketball? Please! That’s training, too! We will think and use our strength!” Zephyrus talked with a full mouth.

Raiden stared at him with a sharp look. “Can you gulp the food first? You’re annoying me.”

Zephyrus winked at him, teasing his brother. It was obvious that he was just irritating them to get their attention.

“No, you can’t. Later, your real training is coming.” King Arealdo chopped the beef and chewed it in an elegant way. I could see Pyro in the way he acted. Pure royal habits.

“Sad. Where’s the justice in that?” Zephyrus talked again with full mouth which was why the rice and all was thrown from his mouth.

Hali grabbed a table napkin and threw it to Zephyrus. “You’re annoying! Gross!”

Zephyrus laughed so hard and then held a crumpled table napkin. In one second, Hali and Zephyrus threw paper towels with each other while the others were eating peacefully until a loud slap on the table filled the dining area. I almost jumped by the sound.

“No food, no water for two weeks for all of the kings!” King Arealdo shouted in anger. “Mistake of one, all will be punished.”

“Oh, no!” Zephyrus crumpled his face.

“It’s your fault!” Hali glared at him.

“I’ll kick your, Ass.” Raiden gazed sharply at Zephyrus and then to Hali.

“Can’t live without those.” Colden said in a kind tone and then he put his two hands below the chin.

Pyro said nothing. He just ate and did not care about his surroundings. When our eyes met, he looked down immediately to focus on his food.

You can’t avoid me for so long, King Fire. I’m your mate.
