"Do you call my name?" He asked the two men standing. They both shook their heads from left to right.
When he looked down, his eyes met me. There was no emotion written on his face. He did not care about seeing me bathing in blood with a dead person by my side.
"So, no one called me?" He asked again. "Fine. I am leaving."
The only hope I had in my heart was lost. He was leaving me without helping? How ruthless he was!
He turned his back at them, then faced them again. "Wait." He looked down, staring at me. "Where do you live?"
"Elemental Kingdom." I was stuttering, and weakening was almost consuming me. My vision was turning black.
After me saying those words, the man's dark expression could be seen. He gave the two men a flying kick in the face. They were about to pull a trigger when he leaped so high and jumped on their chest since they were lying beside each other. Their guns were nonsense as he grabbed the bullet.
He was about to turn his back again, leaving me when one of the men threw a big rock on him. He prevented it by moving aside, without looking at it. That made me amazed by his actions.
Is he an alpha?
He faced them again, with no emotions. He grabbed a big rock and threw it at them. They were about to dodge, but he was like a professional in striking, he knew the angle, so he hit them in the face. Both noses of the hunters were bleeding.
"Who are you!" One of the men asked, he was covering his nose, the blood overlapping on his hands.
"If you know me, you'll die."
He ran as fast as he could towards that man, he flying kick his chest, resulting in him being knocked out. The other one was kicking him, but he just moved by his side, preventing every strike, swaying his body to confuse the enemy. Until one brave strong punch landed on his stomach. The hunter coughed in blood.
"Give me your gun." My savior opened her hands, gesturing to the opponent to put the gun on it.
The hunter removed the gun from his body and put it in his hand. "Please, don't kill me. I have two sons and two wives."
Two wives? What a freaking bastard.
"Plead to her." He looked in my direction.
The hunter immediately crawled towards me with his kneel down. "Sorry. Please, spare my life! Please." His hands were begging on me.
I glared at him, looked at my mother then gazed up as there was a gun offering to me. It was my savior nodding his head.
My eyes viewed the hunter again. His eyes widened, his body was shaking, his sobs became loud.
I grabbed the gun that my savior was offering. I pointed it at the hunter. My eyes were watering excessively. I could feel the choke in my heart, knowing that they killed my mother and they would never revive her life again.
"Let me ask you." Despite my weakening body, I talked with my crack voice. "Can you go back to the past and make my mother alive again?"
He was stuck from moving, looking at me with his tears. "No. But can you give me another chance?"
My eyes viewed his companion when we heard the sound of crack-dried leaves, catching our attention. He was escaping. I pointed the gun at him. I closed my eyes before pulling a trigger. A loud sound of the fired gun echoed. That hunter was the one who hit my mother uncounted times.
My sobs got worse when I pointed the gun at the hunter in front of me. He just closed his eyes.
"It will satisfy your grief, but never get back the life of your loved ones." My savior, located on my back said. "You killed the other one with just a simple suffer, one second, he died. Think carefully. He deserves torture."
My mind lightened as I heard his suggestion. He was right. I still pointed the gun at the man. "Get this man."
"Are you commanding me?" My savior asked.
I smiled at him as I closed my eyes. Everything went black, I fell to the ground.
I was shouting, pleading, and crying as I saw my mother bathing in blood, her eyes gradually closing. She could not respond to my call, she died in front of me.
"Mom!" My tears slid fast to my cheek, flooding my face. I could feel the heaviness in my heart, the stinging sensation that results in my breathing difficulty. "Where is mom?"
My sister Eira stared at my face with a spark of sadness. "She died."
"No!" I stood up immediately, went to the kitchen. In the early morning, she was preparing food. "Mom?" I went to the small wooden sofa, she was sitting here sometimes with dad, cuddling. I stepped outside, she was in here at times, wiping the dried leaves.
"Mom!" My strength was consumed, my knee fell on the soil, looking down and sobbing so hard while holding my chest. "Mom!" I shouted as loud as I could, as if she could hear me as if she would walk towards me and hug me saying she was okay.
Nothing came. The reality of her death was slowly absorbed in my head. I wish everything was just a dream.
"Fira." Eira gradually knelt down and hugged me. The noise of our cry echoed in our location.
The smile of my mother popped into my head.
You will always be in my heart, my mother. You are the best mother in the whole world. I will never forget every lesson you mark in my mind, every moral you teach is always remembered.
I managed to stand up, but I fell again. I had no strength to move. Tears were severely flooding, my heart was failing to beat. Her last words came into my head.
"Fira, take care of the family. I love you all."
One month later. "Hey, hey! Wait!" I pointed at the man walking in front of the Elemental Kingdom. Actually, there were five men so all of them looked at me. I smiled widely as I stared at his face. I waved my hand. "Hi, Honey." One of them was about to walk, but the man with a tan color of the skin avoided him by holding his arm. "Stop that, Zephyrus. She's not looking for you." He waved his hands at me. "Who are you pertaining to?""Him." I pointed at my savior. "Hey, can I talk to you?""Fire?" All of them stared at him as if this was the first time someone called him. "Fire?" I repeated. "Is that your name?" The four men moved their heads from left to right. Two of them were smiling so broad and the two were having a smirk on their face. They had a race going to me, Fire was left alone, looking at me with his no-emotion look. "What's your name?" The smiling face man who told me Honey asked. "Zephyrus." He encircled his arms on my shoulder. The other man looked at him badly,
PYRO'S POVIn a world where there is predator and prey, what would you choose to be? A predator who lives by killing others or a prey who hides in its cave to survive and protect itself?People encounter different degrees of suffering, it depends on how you deal with it, but in my world, there is no other choice, except to fight. Be a warrior on your own. If not… you will face death. "Faster!" Hali was dodging Colden's attack. He had a smirk on his lips while Colden was trembling in every strike he did. "Faster, strengthen your hit! You are so weak! How would you be a king if you were shaking!" Hali used his index finger, pointing at Colden while moving it into 'come here' gesture. I was just sitting on the above-level tree while watching them. Those are my brothers, taking their training for today. "Pyro!" Hali put down his arnis, stomped on the soil heavily while moving closer to my location. He looked up. "Get down! I do not want to take training with Colden! It was no thrill a
PYRO'S POV"Get ready to die!" Hali immediately attacked me. All of our brothers, his target was me. Just because I always win over him. I dodged in the side, climbed up the tree, and sat there comfortably. "Hali, the battle is not yet starting." "Abide the rules," Raiden said while looking at his arnis, examining the strokes of the trademark. The written letter was Lightning. "Get down! I will kill you!" Hali was gritting his teeth, looking up at me on the tree. We heard the loud sound of laughter from our father. "Pyro, get down. The battle will begin."I kept my mouth shut, prepared myself, and jumped at Hali's neck."The battle begins!" One of the Betas opened the war. Exactly, I was on Hali's neck so what I did was crossed my thighs between his chest and used my arnis, hitting his back. I still had pity for my brother. I could kill him with this position. "Ugh!" Hali did the overthrow, making me fall to the ground. He struck me with his arnis in a forceful way. I rolled to
FIRA'S POVThe Alpha King of Fire did not answer my question, he walked away from me instead. He left me hanging, questioning what happened to me and him after the death of my mother. Why do I have this symbol of Fire in my wrist? I badly need an answer. I was staring at my wrist for so long. I was the weak Omega who had no longer time in this world because if I made a mistake, they were no mercy. They can kill me or worse, it includes my family. If they knew that I had this kind of symbol, the Betas would suffer me to death. Everyone in this kingdom would treat me like an animal until this symbol gradually erases. I held tight my skirt, hiding the symbol. I immediately walked towards the hallway and followed King Fire. I was not allowed to call him by his name because it was not yet a full moon. Their real names were hidden under the elemental power they had. "Where have you been!" Saza grabbed my arms in full force. Saza is the Leader of the Omega who has been assigned to the Al
My body was shaking as I walked in the huge porcelain golden hallway of the Elemental Kingdom. Every step was drumming my chest, it was loud and reckless. I felt like my heart was going out of my body. When they were bathing me, I was hiding my wrist. I put bandages on it and said that I had a wound. If they saw the symbol I was in big trouble, my family would suffer to death. I was biting my lips, my tears were condensing in my eyes as the guards opened the huge tribal door of King Wind's door. It was blue in color, there was also a symbol of wind. When I got inside the room, I stared at the man facing the table, sitting while looking at the scroll."Good evening, King Wind." I bowed my head in respect for him. I was seeing the ground and never looked up when he never told me. The fear was crawling all over my body. What if he takes my body tonight? I can't allow him because I don't want that to happen. Will he sentence me to death?"Good evening." His voice was excited. When I l
FIRA'S POVHere we were again, my chest was drumming so reckless and loud. I was trembling as we walked to the room of the Alpha King of Fire. This day was beautiful for me by stomping into the dine in area of the royals, but knowing who my mate was, the knowledge of almost getting a slash or calling by the King Wind, it made my heart rumble. It felt like I was always in danger."Wait for the King Fire to come." The guard walked away from the door. I wanted to grab his arms and said, 'Please, don't leave me with the scary king.' But I had no strength to do that. King Fire was the coldest and scariest among them. I admitted that every time he looked at me, I felt the weakening of my body due to trembling.What does he need from me? Why did he order the guard to bring me here?Ugh! I could pee in my skirt by just waiting for him. I stomped on the ground and my hands were in the middle of my thighs. The fear was crawling all over my body.When I looked at my back, I almost fell my jaw o
FIRA'S POV"I'm cold. Can you warm me?"My eyes widened. I stared at his perfectly formed face. He blinked three times before he fell on my shoulder. "Crap!" I had no idea what to do. If I touched him without permission, I would be punished.My heart was drumming loud. I could not think carefully. He made me shake like an earthquake. He was Alpha King of Fire and according to Cass, his punishment always came out from his mouth. What to do? The tears condensed on the corner of my eyes. I was prevented from touching myself. I peek on his face to know what he was doing. His eyes were closed and he had a deep breathing. My forehead wrinkled like a wave in the ocean. Crap. What am I saying? In this kind of situation, really? I gulped my saliva and peeped again on him. He was peacefully sleeping. Suddenly, I felt that the air coming from his nose was hot. "King Fire?""Pyro." He said with a command. "That's my name when we were alone like this."I thought he was sleeping. I was wrong.
FIRA'S POVI was smiling like a crazy person when the door in his room closed. If I was just alone. I jumped so high. He said thank you to me! I had no idea why I had this feeling of happiness inside my chest. No matter what it was, I did not mind. At least I was happy with the simple gesture of King Fire. I did not believe that his heart would not soften. I remembered how he saved me even though he did not know me. If he did not come, I might die like my mother. His heart was pure and genuine. I was looking forward to that. I would do anything to help him and even sacrifice my own life. That was how I committed myself to him. By giving back his kindness. "Fira!" Zephyris circled his arms on my shoulder. I had an awkwards feeling about that. "Imagine. Puro does not want another person in his room, he doesn't want another person to be close to him, but you break the boundary! You are a lucky woman." A fake smile formed on my lips. What is he saying? I did not do anything. I just to
