Chapter 28
SPARK IN HIS EYES
FIRA’S POV
“Sorry.” I raised my fingers and showed him the peace sign. “Please show me your tongue? Is it hard to do? Just do this.” I moved my tongue out of my mouth. He chuckled a bit when he saw my face.
“Fine!” He released his tongue.
I moved closer to look at every corner of his teeth. “Roll up your tongue. Let me see what’s underneath. I am checking, I am your dentist for today.” I was just joking. I was not expecting that he would chuckle from my naughtiness. “Okay, Good Boy. The medicine is not there.”
I gave him a perfect smile with my eyes shut a bit. “Okay. I am going. Rest well. Don’t put your clothes on. Don’t be stubborn, your majesty. I will check with you again after one or three hours. Maybe Saza is finding me from this moment. So I gotta go!” I turned my back on him. I was about to step when he grabbed my hand.
He looked away. I saw the shyness in his expression. Lately, I have gotten used to his attitude. Sometimes, he was annoyed. Sometimes, he was kind and bright.
“Thank you.” His voice was in a low tone. Sincerity could radiate from my heart.
“You are welcome!”
I started to walk forward again and when I reached the door, I gave him a wide smile. He was just gazing at me with no emotion.
Immediately, I went out of his room. I looked up and saw the four alpha kings outside the door. They had a small teasing smile on their lips. Zephyrus was nodding as if he got something from the scene. Raiden was usually serious, but a small curve was on his lips. Hali was crossing his arms under the chest, a teasing expression written on his face. Colden had a big handsome smile as if he found out something unknown.
“King Fire let you touch him?” Zephyrus tilted his head while observing my face.
“Not just that. He let you treat him.” Hali said with a spark of tease in his eyes.
“According to my knowledge, Colden, my father and his mother are the only people who are permitted to touch him.” Raiden said in a serious face. “I thought he would shout at you and you would get out with the tears crawling on your cheek. I was wrong. Good job, Fira.”
“Maybe his heart softened for her?” Colden said in a calm voice.
When I viewed Colden, I gritted my teeth. I just prevented them from noticing it. I do not like Colden so much. I hate him so much.
At first, I thought he was one of the kindest among them because he talked calmly and only good things came out in his mouth, but when I knew what he did to my sister, I cursed at him! He was about to take advantage of her!
“Excuse me, your majesty. I have something to do in the kitchen.” I felt uneasy looking at Colden. He ruined my day. If only he was not Alpha King of Ice, I could give him a kick in the ass for hurting my sister! If only!
I turned my back to them. I stepped away when Zephyrus followed me. “My back hurt, Fira. Can I please invite you in my room to treat me, too? I am sorry for the interruption for what I suppose you to do, but I really need your help.” There was a plea in his eyes.
I found Zephyrus cute all the time. But sometimes, I was thinking about what kind of monster he is? I am willing to find out.
“Okay. No problem, King Wind.” I managed to form a genuine smile, but I failed. The presence of Colden at the far distance was making my mood black.
We walked towards the hallway and went up on the fifteenth floor. “I’m really sorry, Fira. It seems like you are the only one I can trust when it comes to this.”
He opened the door of his room and let me in. This was my second time here. I was still amazed by how Zephyrus organized his things. It seemed like he did not want a messy place.
“Ouch!” He moved a little and sat on the chair. He was holding the leanboard of it. His back was on me.
“Crap, your wounds are severe, too, like Pyro.” I could not imagine how they could handle the pain.
“Yes, but it’s not that hard to me because I always get slashes, but to Pyro… that’s new to him. For sure, he would have a nightmare from the events.” An adorable chuckle came out in his mouth.
“Oh, that is sad.” The medical kit was ready for the table so I had no difficulty arranging that. I started to clean his cuts first before I put medicine.
“I heard Pyro chuckling. Thank you for that, Fira.”
I was stunned by what I heard. He was also thanking me for what I did from others? I found Zephyrus different among them all. The truth is they are all different in their own ways. Although I do not fully know them. Obviously, there are a lot of things that I need to discover before I completely understand them.
“Why? I know that Pyro is not an easy person. He has difficulty predicting, but why are you thanking me for that?” I gently slid the cotton so I could clean it carefully. He was stiffening a bit.
“Pyro has been tough with himself since the Fire Pack was demolished three years ago by humans. He felt guilty for not saving them. Half of the werewolves die.”
I had no idea why I felt my chest ache. I felt sad for the King Fire. That must be hurting him so much because that pack is his pack. There will be no ‘Alpha King of Fire’ if the pack is gone.
“Fortunately, his mother survived. After that event he overthinks. He always looks at her mother and ensures that they are safe. He loves her so much.”
“I love my mother, too, and I think that is our similarities.” I blew a loud sigh of sadness when I remembered what happened to my mother.
“This is different for him, Fira. All this time we live in our packs and when we need to take the training, we are forced to come here to the Elemental Kingdom. It’s not easy for us to go away from our home, especially to Pyro when his mind is thinking about what will happen to them if he is not there? No one will save them if he is away. Scared of repeating history.”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
“But he is strong, he gulped his fright and left them, but the effect is… he will never be happy. That’s why I am asking you to be patient with him.”
“Why me? I am just an omega? Crap? How can I be his happiness-”
“Because I see the spark in his eyes every time he looks at you.”
