Chapter 102
LIVE IN TRUTH
FIRA’S POV
When the evening came again, I went to the Library like Pyro said. I sat down at the corner, leaned my body back at the shelves and hugged my knee. He would be right here any minute from now so I just waited. My eyes were heavy due to the overwork, that was why I closed it. I did not notice that I fell asleep. When I opened my eyes, I was expecting Pyro to be here, but no Pyro even his shadow. I started to worry.
Is there something that happened?
I embraced my shoulder and rubbed it. This area was cold, even the floor. I looked up, all I could see was the darkness of the place. I stood up and looked for a book. I saw the tactics to kill an enemy. I sat down and began to read. I finished half of the book, but Pyro did not come.
I looked to my left and right. There was nothing except darkness. I bit my ls to avoid crying. Hali told me that crying was a bad habit. I did not want to go, maybe he was just late so I waited again for him.
No Pyro.
I was about to leave when I heard footsteps, going in my direction. I was expecting that it was Pyro that was why I ran toward him. In the dim, I hugged him so tightly. “What takes you so long?” I rested my face on his chest. My body froze as I smelled a different scent of a man.
Crap! He is not Pyro!
He held my shoulder and moved me away from me. “What are you doing here, Fira?”
“Hali?” My eyes were widening. I could not see his face, but I was sure that he was the Alpha King of Water.
“Yes, I am. Again, what are you doing here?” He held my wrist and then went to the side, near the window, to see our faces because there was a beam of light passing through the small hole of the window.
“I am waiting for Pyro. Did you see him?”
“Seriously?” He looked at me intensely. “I saw him at the river, he is with Princess Ziraya.”
“What? Are you kidding me?” I raised both of my eyebrows.
“Does kidding you make me in the mood now?” He was rude. He raised his arms, folded it and then rose up the corner of his lips. “Did you two fight?”
“No, I can’t remember that we argued. Can you accompany me?”
“Is that a command from an omega?” He was being sarcastic to me.
“It’s a request from a friend.” I held his arms and pulled him away. “Where is he?”
“Wow. Good job, Fira. You are making me so mad right now.” He looked at me sharply.
“Please?” I rubbed my palm in front of him.
“Okay.” He shook his head before he walked in the hallway. Since he was the Alpha and I was following him, the guards did not react when we were passing by. They just bowed to him and then let us walk.
“Maybe it was a king’s command?” I was looking up on him. He was tall, I was just 4 feet and 10 inches.
“I don’t think so.” He seemed so bored, talking to me.
“What brings you to the Library?”
He looked down on me. I could see that he was hesitating to say what was on his mind. “I was looking for Raiden. He was not in his chamber. He was just a bystander in his room or to the library. I can’t see him.”
I moved my head in an upright direction. Suddenly, he grabbed my hand and then pulled me down to the understory plant and peeped on something. I was curious what he was peeking at so I moved my head to the side. It was Raiden with the Luna Queen of Archimedes.
“Listen to me! Your kingdom needs you! You are the only royal from your race, you need to rule them or else your kingdom would be invaded by the enemy!” Raiden looked mad at him.
“You don’t care! I don’t even know why you’re minding them when in fact this is your kingdom!” Luna was glaring at him so badly. “You freaking playboy!”
Raiden chuckled in disbelief. He was shaking his head. Even in the dark, his handsome face was glowing and his height was compatible with Luna. Since they were both royal with a good posture, height and body figure.
“You’re the only one who said that I’m a playboy.” Raiden watched her walk away from him. “One step away and I’ll kiss you for how many steps you did.”NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Luna stopped from walking. She faced him and raised his middle finger. I covered my mouth as I stared at her finger.
Crap! This can’t be. She was disrespecting the Alpha King of Lightning.
“I hate forcing a woman, your majesty, but if you still do-” He stopped from talking when the Luna walked closer to him, raised her middle finger again and said, “F*ck you.” At his very face.
“Deep, Baby.” Raiden smirked on her, teasing.
I was so shocked, covering my mouth not to create, but Hali could not prevent himself. He laughed so bad, he even held his stomach while rolling on the ground.
Luna and Raiden looked at us with surprise. I could not even talk. I was so embarrassed that they saw us. My cheek was igniting.
“Hali!”
Raiden was so mad at him. He moved up his palm facing the sky and created a strong lightning in the sky which scared me. It was about to hit Hali, but he dodged from the side while laughing so freaking loud. Raiden did not stop striking him with his power, but Hali was just rolling left and right, up and down to prohibit the lightning from striking his body. He was so happy while playing at Raiden. He even danced while lying on the ground, preventing the attacks while I could hear his laughter.
I did not even know that Hali was a good dancer. He is professional, a good movers, a swagger.
A smile formed on my lips while watching him. When Raiden stopped, Hali grabbed my hand and ran as fast as he could. We stopped at the big tree, he was still chuckling. “He is funny!”
I smiled while staring at him. “No, you are funny.”
“Am I?” He laughed again. I could not see the black of his eyes, it was so small. “I’m in the mood now.”
“I see.”
“Let’s go to the river.” I followed him.
When we arrived, he stopped from walking. I could not read the expression on his face.
“Did you see them?” I was about to peep when Hali immediately covered my eyes.
“They’re not here.”
I forced his hand to remove to my vision, but he was not letting me. He asked me instead. “Do you want to live in lie, but you are happy? Or you want to live in truth, but you’re in pain?”
I was nervous by what he was asking. I closed my eyes harder, grabbed an air and then answered him. “I want to know the truth.”
He slowly put down his hand. He had no emotion. I could feel the uncontrollable stab at my chest when I saw the King Fire kissing the Princess.
What the crap?
