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, resulting in Zephyrus removing his arms from me.
"Is that the proper way to act?" The man was having a threatening look at Zephyrus. After that, he waved his hands, too. "Raiden."
"How did you know him?" The other one with super white skin asked. "By the way, I'm Hali." He offered his hands so I grabbed them.
They had lots of questions which I could not answer. Who are they?
"Colden." He gave me a small smile. "Don't tell anyone about our names. It should be revealed in the full moon."
I moved my head from up and down, my attention was not on them, but on Fire who was now walking away. "Give me a second."
I ran towards him. My feet stuck on the ground when he faced me. "Don't."
"Huh? I just want to say thank you for what you did for—"
"That's my duty."
I was about to step my feet to move forward, but he gestured to me to stop. Cold emotion was written on his face. I was curious why he did not want me to come near him.
"Duty? What kind of duty? Are you a Beta? A warrior?" I stepped forward and stopped when he talked again.
"You are taking the boundary."
I could not guess what was on his mind. All I wanted was to say thank you, nothing more, but he was giving me an action that was unpredictable.
"Boundary?"
He hardly closed his eyes and turned his back to me. "Pyro. That's my name."
I was about to move towards him, but he spoke again. "So naughty! Don't follow me! Stay away from me! That's a command!"
My eyes widened. His voice was loud enough to be heard by the men who approached me before. I had nothing to do except watch him away.
"Sorry." Colden shrugged his shoulders before following Pyro.
"He seems uninterested." Hali tapped my shoulder.
"According to my observation, he is like that three times a week." I could hear the laugh of Raiden. "Go back tomorrow."
"Honey, I'm free tonight." Zephyrus winked at me. "See me at the terrace, if you are willing."
I watched them walking away from me. Actually, my mind was messed up. Who are they? Are they guests? I did not see them before. And why should I not tell their names to anyone?
"Fira, King Oswald is calling you. Your duty is at the Kingdom's dinner." Eira called me when she saw me walking.
"Woah! Really?" I jumped with happiness. This was my first time at a huge long table of royals. I will meet the Alpha Kings from different Elemental packs.
"Faster!"
I fixed myself before going upstairs. My heart was pounding so hard and loud. My smile was growing to my lips as I observed the luxuriousness of the kingdom. I was not usually in here because my duty was always in the kitchen or cleaning the clothes. Luckily, I would serve the Alpha Kings.
"Hi." A broad smile was written on my lips as I saw the crowd of Omega wearing a red uniform, holding utensils. That red means we were assigned to the Alpha King of Fire. "My name is Fira from the family of Hayes."
"Hello. I am Cass from the family of Leonardo." She soundly sighed. "Our deepest condolences for your loss."
I still managed to not remove my smile although the sadness started to consume me.
After they introduced themselves, taught me the areas and our duties we moved to the dining area. I looked around while my mouth was barely opened, mesmerizing with the beauty of sacred dining in. There was a long gold table, a strong chandelier light, paintings of different elements, a statue of the 5 Kings, and other symbolism of the kingdom. My feet stopped with the Alpha King of Fire.
"Fira, Move! They are now here!" Cass grabbed my arms and guided me to form align.
"I can't play basketball here." That voice was familiar to me.
"Me, too."
I moved my eyeball in my side, not including my neck. I had a curiosity to look at who they were. My eyes widened when I saw the four men that I met before. In their back was Pyro, no emotion, no energy walking.
So, they are the Alpha Kings?
I almost slipped the tray on my hand, but I managed to tighten my hold on it. I would be dead if I break this. I could not believe that Pyro was one of them!
"Fire…" I whispered. I heard them call him 'Fire'. Our eyes met when he gazed at my direction.
He is the Alpha King of Fire. I was busted not to know that!
In our kingdom, the kings were hidden not until the full moon. That was why they said their name was confidential.
"Fira." Zephyrus waved his hands. Being friendly. "You are here." He was about to walk towards me when Pyro stepped faster. He got the tray in my hand and put it down on the table.
"Give me a sec." He said to his brothers.
I looked at his back while following him. He brought me to the third-floor veranda, near the Fire room.
"Show me your wrist." He was commanding me. His voice was thick.
"Why?" I stuttered as I looked into his eyes. I wanted to avert my look, but it glued me to his almond eyes. My heart was pounding so fast as I observed every detail of his face. He is more handsome when near, his scent was strongly attractive.
I did not show him my wrist that was why he grabbed it and slowly opened it.
"Fuck!" He gritted his teeth.
When I looked at it, my mouth barely opened. There was a symbol of fire.
"What is this?"
"Imprinted." He said while facepalming. "Don't show your wrist to anyone. That's an order!" He left me absorbing what he said.
Then, when I realized I spoke, the reason why he stopped but never faced me again.
"You are my mate? But… how?
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
PYRO'S POVAfter Fira nursed me, I felt good. I was sick for two days and I did not want them to know that. I hated people, their hands were repulsing my body, except the hands of my mother. I just did not want people near me. I looked around. The air touched my body. I was sitting on my favorite tree. I could see the peaceful view of nature, but it was ruined when someone shook the tree. The leaves fell and other branches cracked. When I looked down, it was Hali. "Hi, Pyro the snobber."I did not make an effort to open my mouth. I just heaved a sigh and ignored him. He was disturbing my silence. "Get down! What happened to you and Fira? Did you already give your virginity to that girl?" Hali quake the tree so hard, that was why I held the strong branch beside me. He was annoying me. "Yeah? Or else I will take other omega to go with your be—""They are human. Not an animal. Treat them right." Those were the longest words I had said for a past hours. "You are not going to take adv
