Alpha King of Fire

FIRA’S FIRST PUNISHMENT

FIRA’S POV

My fist was clenched tightly as the liquid was condensing in the side of my eyes. When it came to my mother, my heart was breaking into pieces because my mind kept reminding me how weak I was by repeating the scene in front of me. The moment I did not save her from the hunters.

“Are you insane! They are Betas!” Saza left a little distance between our bodies and then her palm landed on my cheek. The sound of the slap echoed in the kitchen.

I just looked at her with no emotion and then I turned my back, getting the broken pieces of plates on the floor.

“This time I have reason to punish you!” Saza giggled as she grabbed my clothes on my back and stood me up. “Fifty slashes! You’ll know your lesson!”

All the time, I was shaking in dread as I heard the slashes session, but now, I could not feel any. What I did to those Rainbows was for my mother, for stomping on her life by mentioning her death. I would always do the same thing.

“Guards!” Saza shouted out loud. She grabbed my upper arm and pushed me to the guard when he walked in the door. “Give her fifty slashes! If someone asks why she is getting those, tell them, she attacked the betas of King Arealdo!”

“Noted, Leader Omega.” The guard pulled my arm recklessly. He was dragging me to the hallway. Everyone was looking at me as if they knew that I was going to have punishment.

Cass was gladly walking in the hallway. When her eyes met me, the smile immediately disappeared. “Fira!” She ran quickly, trying to get my arm from the guard. “What did she do! Where are you bringing her!” The worriedness was obviously seen in her face. “Get away your hands on her!”

“It’s okay,” I whispered as I nodded my head.

“No, Fira! He would give you slashes! No, you can’t handle that!” She was having teary eyes at that moment.

“Hey! I’ll be okay.” I was comforting her by touching her back, moving up and down. I was about to say a word again, but the guard pulled me. Cass did not do anything,

but to look at me with worry.

When we arrived at the courtroom, I got nervous due to the sounds of the surroundings. They were shouting, pleading, and crying. The screaming was so loud that it made my chest pump in fear.

“Go to the table, Omega! Give me your back!” The guard was scary. He looked at me with no emotion at all. I thought his name was Sed, I heard Saza call him last time. “It’ll be fast. Just be a good girl.”

My body trembled in horror. I was making myself strong as I crawled on the table, held the side of it, and gave him my back. I heard him preparing the whip instrument.

“We’re gonna start.” He was having the hard voice of a man.

I closed my eyes as the whipping session started. I did not shout, plead, or what, I just bit my lips as I felt the waves of my pain on my back. The pain was severe and made me feel like I had slashes, and even my clothes were ripped. He was hitting me with full force as if he was so mad at me.

“Hey, Man. Pity on her. She’s a girl. Don’t whip her forcefully.” I heard one of the guards approach him. I had no ability to look at them because my eyes were blurry. For sure, I would have scars on my back. I was not sure if I could stand this until the session ended. I had no ability to move, my body was numb, the only feeling I sensed was my dorsal.

“I’m just doing my job,” Sed responded to the man.

“But look at her. She has a small body and she would die if you continue-”

“Did I care about your session, Basty?”

“No, but-”

“Definitely! So don’t you dare interfere with me!” Sed seemed so mad, he was now raising his voice.

The man beside him stopped talking. I had no idea what he looked like.

Can’t move. Crap.

Sed continued hitting my back over and over again. The ache was worsening as if I would die. The tears were rolling at my side, but my sobs did not make a sound.

Do I deserve slashes by making a fight with those Rainbows? My only mistake was breaking the plates, but not slamming them to their freaking faces!

I fell asleep during the brutal session. I had no idea why when I woke up, I was in…

I looked around. I thought it was King Fire’s room, but as I saw the dark blue surroundings, I recognized that it was King Wind’s room. My position was inside, facing Zephyrus. He was sitting beside the side table.

“You’re awake?” His face at this time was serious.

“What am I doing here?” I managed to stand up, but I just fell on the bed as much as I tried due to the pain.

“Pyro commanded.” He grabbed a glass of water from the side table and guided me to sit. I was wincing so bad as I felt the waves stinging at my dorsal. I was sure that it was swollen. “I’m happy you’re okay.”C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

“Where is Pyro?” His name was the first thing that came out of my mouth. I was worried about what he felt. He should not be so mad. He might burn again.

“King Arealdo has a task with him to do so he ordered me to look after you. He was so livid when he knew about what happened. Thanks to Colden, he could make him calm down.”

A sigh of relief let out from my nose. “How is he now?”

A grin grew on Zephyrus lips as he stared at me with a teasing expression. “You are injured, but you’re minding him? I think that’s what we call love!” In an instant, his energetic attitude could be seen.

“Who would not be? Your brother is like a dragon, bursting out fire.” I chuckled a little bit, but it just turned into coughed when I felt the waves of pain at my back.

Zephyrus immediately moved closer to me and comforted me by giving me another glass of water. “You should heal before Pyro came, he would bury me on the ground if he saw that nothing changed to you. Just please drink the juices of the herbs to make your wound heal as fast as it could.”

Actually, I never heard a scared to Pyro in his voice, but a friend who was concerned. I could also see the spark of pity in his eyes. “I want to kill the guard who whipped you, the same as what Pyro wants, but we are not that powerful like our father. We can’t kill as much as we want. I hope you understand that the only thing that I could do for now is giving you this!” He raised up the glass of herbs. I winced in dislike as I saw that.

“I don’t want to drink that! It tastes so bad!” I almost vomited as I saw the green color of the liquid inside it. King Wind was consistent, he put it all inside me while opening my mouth gently. Since he was so strong, I had nothing to do, but to gulp it.

“Good girl.”

“I will report you to Pyro!” I was giggling as the wincing expression was still on my face.

We both looked at the door when it burst open.
