Alpha King of Fire

THE SIDE STORY OF THE ALPHA KING OF ICE

FIRA’S POV

“This is chemistry. I have no idea why the kings are needed to study the formula, but I will teach you the criss cross rule. It is as easy as you expect.” I was writing the symbol of elements, the Ba for Barium and C for Carbon.

I was teaching Pyro for an hour and I was not getting tired. Sometimes, I caught him looking at my face, but I ignored him. He was just listening.

Honestly, my voice was giving out. He noticed it, that was why he gave me water. “You can go.”

“We are not yet done?”

“You will be back tomorrow.” He stood up and started to fix his papers and pens.

“I will organize it, King Fire.” I grabbed the papers and pens from his hands and I started to decorate them in order. “My mom loves making things in order.” A smile formed on my lips.

“My mom, too.” I would not expect that he would answer me.

I was now comfortable with him, but there were times that I was still trembling in fear. I was thinking if he would not want me to talk so long. I just could not pull in all the words that came from my mouth. I felt like I would be sick if I did not speak up about what was on my mind.

“I will leave, Pyro. Study well. Bye.” I turned my back on him with a smile on my face. It was nice to have an hour of being by his side. Even though the silence of him was there, at least he did not shout at me to leave like what happened last time.

A smile on my lips did not disappear even after washing the plates in the kitchen.

“What’s up with a smile?” Cass hit me with her hips, the reason why I moved from my side.

“It’s nothing.” I managed to shut my lips to avoid stretching them.

“I am jealous of you! I saw you coming out from King Fire’s room!” She grabbed the wet plate and wiped it with the clean white rug.

“I’m just following orders.” I put the plate on the mouth of the faucet and let the water flow on it. Then, I wiped it with rotary rotation.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“What is his order, then?”

I think I was blushing because my cheek was feeling the ignition. I had no idea why I was feeling this way.

“OMG! Did he demand to warm him-”

“No. We just talked and I taught him some stuff.” I turned my back on her to pick the glass and put it inside the cabinet.

“I believed in you. King Fire is not like that. A silent handsome King.”

We were just conversing when finally the time of working had ended. It was past midnight when I walked on the hallway, going to the Omega’s Quarter. For sure, my sister was there.

My feet stopped from walking when I saw Colden, Zephyrus, and Hali climbing on the window like ninjas. My forehead knitted as I realized that they were escaping. That was not good. I heard that even Kings had punishment and that was for equality.

They passed on the window with a speed motion so I did not mind them. They were using that way because the guards would not see them. Whatever they planned, I was not included there. I would just act that I did not see them.

When I arrived in our room, my sister was sitting in front of the mirror, combing her hair. “You got home late, Fira. You know I can’t sleep without you.”

“Sorry, Sister. I had plenty of work.” I sat on the bottom bed of our double decker bed. I watched her brush her hair. I understand that she was stressed. “Why are you combing your hair countless times?”

“Fira, our father is not home for about two weeks.”

“What?” My mouth was barely opened. Since the Elemental Kingdom assigned us to take care of the dinings, and follow commands from the alphas, I did not see my father. I last gazed at him when mom died. I thought he was just busy in minings that were why he did not come home frequently.

Our home was located outside the kingdom, and we could go home during weekends. I was expecting to see him at our house.

“Do you get any news about him?” I stood up with panic in my expression.

Mom died and I could not take it anymore if my dad would die, too. We were just three in the family and I wanted us to stick together.

“Nothing. The neighbor said the home was empty for two weeks, which means dad was not going home. I wondered what happened to him.”

A loud sigh came out of my mouth. I was giving all my time in the kingdom, but I forgot about my family. We needed to know what happened to him.

“Maybe he is just overworking? You know mom died and he needs a lot of distraction?” I managed to stay positive even though the worry was crawling all over my body.

“I think so.” Eira moved his head from up and down. “I hope so.”

I looked down at her neck. My eyes widened when I saw a red mark on the side portion. “Eira, is that a kiss mark?”

Eira was stunned, she covered her neck. “It’s nothing.”

“Who did that to you?” I moved closer to her. I held the strands of her hair and pulled it up. She had no choice, but to reveal to me the red mark. “What happened?”

“Nothing.” She moved her head, left and right motion. “I am sleepy. Let us go to-”

“Tell me! Did someone touch you? Or harm you?” I gritted my teeth, my jaw was cleaned and my fist was slowly closing tightly. When it comes to my family, I would fight to the death like what happened between me and the hunters.

“Who. Did. That. To. You?” I was emphasizing those words with a giggling tone.

“It’s…” She averted her look at me. “Colden.”
