Alpha King of Fire

KING ICE’S THREAT

FIRA’S POV

I woke up in the morning with Janus’ arms encircling my body. I was in shock as I immediately sat down and leaned my back on the headboard.

Did I really sleep beside him?

He opened his eyes. I could see his cuteness by his lazy eyes. I stared at him for about a second until I realized something.

“Pyro! Crap! Crap! I didn’t come on our date! No, no, no!” I immediately stood up and was about to leave Janus when he held my hand.

“You need rest. What happened to you is traumatic. Please stay here.” No matter how handsome he was in my eyes. My mind was only thinking of Pyro.

I moved my head from left to right, the tears started to condense. “You don’t understand. That night, Pyro and I had a date. I didn’t come, that was a betrayal of trust for him.” My sobs filled the room. “I am sure that he is so mad at me this time.”

“He would understand if you explain?” He looked down, grabbed a shirt and put it on him.

“Don’t tell him. I don’t want him to be mad. It can burn everything he touches. Please don’t mention it.” I looked down. I let the liquid crawl to my cheek. I bursted out crying again.

I was thinking about my bad experience. No matter how I tried not to think, it came to my head. I was also worried that Pyro would not trust me.

Janus stared at me with sadness in his eyes. He hugged me again like what he did last night. My eyes were swollen due to too much crying.

“Pyro is King Fire?” He asked to my ear. I just nodded while burying my face to his shoulder. “You supposedly had a date with him?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

I gave distance to our bodies. “What do you mean why?” I observed the emotion in his eyes, there was a wave of sadness and pain.

“He’s a royal and you are omega? It is dangerous to love each-”

“We don’t love each other.”

I saw the relief in his expression. “Then why are you two dating?”

“It was just a friendly date, but sadly I could not come.” I sniffed the mucus on my nose, I held the collar of my shirt, which was Janus clothes, and then wiped the liquid on my nose.

“Ah, so you didn’t like him?” There was an eagerness in his emotion to know the answer to that question so I answered.

“I like him.”

His eyes showed me the spark of unhappiness. He gazed at my face before he nodded, his eyes were looking down. “Oh, yeah. Of course, he’s handsome and royal and king-”

“Yes, I like him as a friend. He’s one of my good friends.”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

He bit his lips and looked away. “I thought you like him as a special person.”

“Special friend.”

He nodded as he walked to his wooden closet and looked for something to be worn by me. “All of these are long sleeves, is this okay?”

“That would be good.”

He stretched his arms, giving me the green long sleeves and his boxer. Wear these. I will prepare tea and breakfast for you.”

“Thank you.” I grabbed the clothes, watched him walking out to the room. He gave me a small smile before he finally went out.

I managed not to cry again as I started to undress. I put the clothes on. When I was done, I walked out and saw Janus in the kitchen. He was busy frying something.

I looked around as I sat on the wooden sofa. “How can you manage to stay alone?”

“I used to. I need to,” he said while he was still in the kitchen. He walked with a cup in his hand. “Hot tea.”

“Thank you.” I held the cup, blew and then sipped it. I closed my eyes as I felt the hot liquid traveling from my mouth through my throat. It had a soothing effect.

“How’s your feeling?” He sat beside me, preparing the food on the small center table.

“Better than before.” I sipped tea again.

He grabbed a plate for two. “Eatwell. Sorry I have no much food.”

“It’s okay. Thank you for all of this.”

We ate silently. Every food that I put in my mouth, he was looking at. “What?”

My heart jumped so high as he smiled at me. “You’re adorable.”

I thought I was blushing. In an instant, all of the emotion that I had before blew away it turned into a happy feeling.

“Oh, thank you.”

“Welcome. Anyway, I will accompany you to the kingdom. I didn’t kill Carter, he might go close to you again so please be aware. Don’t go somewhere alone.”

I blew a loud sigh. His bad attempt came into my head, but I immediately pushed it at the back of my mind. I should not think about that. It would just make me sad and in pain.

My problem is Pyro. How can I explain to him why I did not cane into our date?

“Are you worried about Carter?” Janus brought the glass of water in front of me.

“Worried about King Fire. He might be so upset.”

His mouth kept silent. He was just eating when he heard about him.

After breakfast, we walked, going to the Elemental Kingdom. I waved at him as we arrived.

“Thank you so much!” I tried to make my voice energetic, but no matter how I tried, the sadness still showed.

Janus moved closer, he cupped my cheek. “Be safe, okay?”

“Yes, thank you.”

I was shocked when he moved up and kissed my forehead. I could not react immediately. I blinked three times and was trying to comprehend if what was happening was real.

It is real. Crap!

“Bye.” He waved his hand and smiled at me before leaving. I watched his figure, going away until he disappeared from my sight.

When I faced my back, my feet stopped on where I was standing when I saw Colden. He was leaning his shoulder on the wall and looking at me without emotion.

“Good morning, your majesty.” I bowed to him.

“What’s good in the morning when you didn’t come last night?” He showed me the coldest emotion ever. It was new to me because King Ice was always smiling, but this time no matter how blank his expression was, I knew he was mad at me.

“I’m sorry.” That was all I could say. “Something happened.”

“If you’re not Eira’s sister, I will punish you with slashes until your body becomes numb due to so much pain.”

I looked down. I was prohibiting myself to cry. He was talking to me bluntly. He loved his brother so much.

“Get out of my eyes, Fira,” King Ice ordered.

I did not move. I showed him my face instead. “I’m really sorry.”

“Go away. Now!”

My feet immediately moved as I saw the dark expression on his eyes as if anytime he would hold my neck and choke me.

I was about to walk fast when he called me again.

“Oh, Fira?”

I stopped and stood straight.

“Don’t hurt my brother again because you might not want my revenge.” He paused and then continued. “I was thinking if it’s to you or… to your sister.”

No! Crap, no! She should not be included here! If only you knew what happened.
