Alpha King of Water

EMBRACE

HALI’S POV

“She’s not yet home!” I was screaming at Froy on the other line. “Where do you think she goes!”

I was waiting for her for freaking hours now. I was inside her apartment, sitting on the couch, drinking water, watching TV, anything that could ease my boredom. I was not a man who would wait for a woman for this long! She did not even tell me where the fuck she was.

“Easy, Buddy. Maybe she has work to-”

“Work? She’s with the enemies! What if they do something to her!” My voice was too loud even if I managed not to shout. I would not admit that I was worrying. She sucked. Hell.

“Calm down. Settle down your voice. Someone might hear you outside.” Froy’s tone was making me calm. However, he could not chill me out. My blood was boiling at the highest temperature. One more minute and I would go to her.

I stopped walking back and forth at the front of the couch when my nose bled.

“Damn it!” I touched my nose. “I’ll call you later.”

“What’s going o-” I halted his words by tapping the end button.

The blood from my nose was rolling down to my lips. I wiped it using my thumb. I sniffed three times. I was not molded to be in this world. I could not stay long or else I would be so weak. I needed to go back to the Elemental Kingdom to recharge my wolf. He did not want to be in this place.

Where the damn is Zarya?

I dropped my body on the couch. I would wait another minute. If she does not come home, I will go and attack the opponents! This was freaking me out!

I gazed at my phone for so long. I was not using this often. When I was at the Elemental Kingdom, no phones were allowed therefore I left it to Froy.

I should not call Zarya on his phone. If Froy was right that she had work, it would be risky. I stood up, stepping into the medical kit that was in the cabinet. I grabbed the cotton balls and wiped my nose. The bleeding was more severe than usual.

“The heck, Wolf. I thought you liked Zarya. Don’t bleed too much. She needs us.” Although I could not hear a response from him.

I also had matters to discuss with Zarya. My informer said they witnessed Prince Jace traveling, going to the Elemental Kingdom. He had no other reason, except to find Zarya.

My cell phone rang. I immediately put it on my ear when I saw Zarya’s name.

“I’m with the meeting. I’ll inform you once I get home.”

“What the fuck! Go home now-”

“Zarry, what does it taste like?” I heard Bram’s voice in the other line.

“Mouth watering.” Zarya’s voice.

I was about to shout at her again when the call ended. What the heck? Mouth watering? Taste? She was unbelievable!

But good thing, she got his trust. However, I was still livid. She was overworking. She did not even inform me-I mean us about the mission!

So… Do I need to wait here? She left me no choice.

I went to the couch again, closed the light and opened the TV screen. This was so boring!

After a damn hour, Zarya was not yet home. “When I heard a knock on the door, I ran towards it. My shoulder dropped when I saw it was Zephyrus.

“How did you find me?” My two eyebrows went up, my expression was full of curiosity.

“Wind brought me here.” He smiled at me widely. “Father is looking for you. I just said your balls are swollen so you can’t get up from bed.”

“What the damn?” I watched him, walking inside the apartment.

“Zarya has no stuff. Why don’t you buy her things in the house such as a painting, a refrigerator, and others?” He looked around at the place.

“She’s not going to stay. She’ll move out after the mission.” The irritation was in my tone. I followed him to the couch.

“Are you afraid she might stay and live in the Human World when she realizes this place is more peaceful than the Alpha King’s World?” The grin was written on his lips, teasing me as usual.

“She’ll avenge her family’s murderer. What you’re saying is impossible.”

“What if she forgives?”

I threw the pillow on his face. “Did you go here for that?”

The smirk on his lips was established as if he won a battle. “You’re scared.”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“I’ve been scared.” I shrugged my shoulder, going back to watching while waiting for Zarya.

“I just visited you. Go home. Father will breathe out the fire even if he has no power of fire if he knows you’re not in the kingdom.” He tapped my shoulder, stepping towards the door, and that was all, I was alone again. I had a choice, it is either go back to Fry and Khal or go to the Elemental Kingdom. Whichever I did not pick. I could not leave Zarya alone.

I leaned my back on the headboard and looked up, viewing the ceiling.

What the hell am I doing? I cared for someone, but not too much. I hate women a lot, just love them in bed.

Zarya is unique in many aspects. She is brave even if I did not tell her. She is beautiful even though when I compliment her, followed by a tease.

She is a Poor Little Thing.

My eyes were about to shut when I heard a key plugging on the doorknob. I thought it was Zephyrus, he came back, but he had no key. When I saw it was Zarya in the small hole. There was an urge for me to smile, nevertheless, I avoided myself to express my gladness.

“You’re here?” Her eyes widened in shock. “What are you doing here? What if they saw一” I cut his words by bending down my body and kissing her hard.

“Kiss me slowly.” I shook my head when I heard the same line he was saying every time I kiss her. Anyways, my kiss was just short. I removed my lips from her and guided her to the sofa.

“Why are you late?” My stare at her was sharp. She was putting her bag on the couch, removing her black shoe heels. She was not wearing a skirt or a sexy polo shirt. I never noticed her clothes when I saw her at Caspian’s Condo. “Where are your clothes? Why change?”

“Let me rest.” She was saying while stepping into the room. Then, she dropped her body on the bed which caused it to bounce up and down. She closed her eyes and rested.

What the damn? I have been waiting for her for about five hours and what do I get? Sleeping?

“Come on, Hali. Join me in bed.”

I rolled my eyes and folded my arms under my chest. “What did you do at the meeting? Don’t you know someone here is waiting?” It had been so long. I did not get a response from her.

I blew a sigh when I walked toward her. I settled to her side and looked at her face. She seemed so exhausted. She did not even change her clothes. I had no idea why I was doing this. I unbuttoned her polo shirt and… put on a nightie. I went to the bathroom, wet the rug. I went back and wiped her body with the rug, get rid of her makeup, and cleaned her body.

I froze when her hands raised up, circled to my waist, hugging me while snoring. Sleeping deeply.

I don’t know, but why do I care? I had never served a woman like this before.

Afterward, I slept beside her. Our hands were embracing each other.
