Alpha King of Fire

TAKE MY ORDER

FIRA’S

“Damn. I’ll not do that even if I want to.” He winked at me before walking to the closet.

I’ll not do that even if I want to? What? I felt like I could not absorb what he said.

Was he crapping kidding me?

“I’m not kidding if that is what you are thinking.”

I gazed at his back. He was choosing the clothes that he would like to wear. “What do you think of saving water?”

“It’s…” I cleared my throat and gulped my saliva. I was thinking that he was asking the most unrelated question. “It’s convenient and should be practiced because water is an essential need of everybody.”

“Exactly!” He walked closer to me, bent his body and moved his mouth on my ear. I could feel the hot air coming from him poking my skin.

I gasped for air due to the awkwardness he was giving to me. His actions were not normal and would never be normal because the Pyro that I knew was the one who hated talking and talking. This one was different.

I blew the harsh air when he spoke in my ear. “Let’s save water. Strip.” He ordered in a thick tone full of authority.

I got a jaw dropping moment. My eyes were big and my mouth was left open. I observed the expression on his face. He was serious.

Too serious.

I gasped another poor breath. I could feel the suffocation in my chest due to the tension.

He was not joking! Crap! His expression was commanding.

I looked down. My eyes watered as I opened the button of my blouse. I had no choice, but to follow his command. I was just wondering what he wanted or what he would like to see. He was torturing me.

I was on my third button when I heard his chuckle. He let his body fall on the bed and laughed so hard.

What’s wrong with Pyro today?

“I was-” He laughed so happily. “I was just kidding! I felt what Zephyrus felt when he was tripping around!”

I looked down. I could feel the embarrassment on my face, the blushing and shyness and belittling. I almost undressed in front of him, not knowing that he was just joking.

Lately, I could not understand what was running in Pyro’s head. Sometimes, he was mad and now looked at him, happy and joking and laughing and playing with me.

It’s good to look at him with a happy face. It seemed that something changed on him.

“I hope you’re always like that, my king.” My voice was sweet, causing him to stop moving and gazed at me with the spark of confusion.

“Like what?”

“Like a happy king like Zephyrus. You are handsome with your gladness.”

“Am I?” The grin ear by ear formed on his lips and eyes.

“Yes, you are. But…” I grabbed a table napkin and removed the flour and margarine on his cheek. “But you need to clean up.”

We gazed at each other for so long. No talk. No words. Just staring eye to eye with a smile on our light faces.

I realized that our friendship is deeper than the ocean. Beautiful than nature. Good than the sky. Better than the stars.

“It’s nice having you in my life, Fira. I hope you feel the same way.” His voice seemed like music to my ear. The overflowing warmth and bright crawled all over my body. The magic of his words is the most powerful one.

“I am. I’m glad to know you and be with you, my king.” My voice was energetic. I almost jumped while saying it due to the sincerity.

“My king?” He nodded as if he was absorbing that line. “Sounds good. Call me that way.”

“Sure from the bottom of my heart.” I gave him a finger heart. I just saw that from the television when we were sneaking to the theater of the kingdom.

He was cute when he raised his hands and did the finger heart, too, with a matching full teeth smile and twinkling eyes.

We both looked faster on the door when it opened. My body trembled as I saw King Arealdo’s burning eyes.

“What did I hear? You cluttered the kitchen with this omega!” I could see the rage in King Arealdo’s eyes.

I stood up and bowed my head even though I was shaking. “I’m sorry, your highness.”

“It’s my mistake.” Hali showed up from King Arealdo’s back. “It’s just me. You know King Fire. He didn’t start a quarrel or any mess without purpose. I did that. No other than me.”

Pyro opened his mouth to defend Hali, but when he saw Hali nodding his head, he understood.

“And how about this omega?” King Arealdo pointed at me. “She should get sixty slashes for-”

“No. She is just there because she’s washing the dishes. I messed around-played with her. Omegas just obey an order from me. She should be out of the punishment. I’m sorry.” Hali bowed in front of his father. “My apology, my beloved father.”

I was almost torn by what Hali was doing for us. What he was saying was getting all the punishment that we all were supposed to face.

“Bring King Water to the courtroom and give him one hundred slashes!” King Arealdo glimpsed on me and Pyro before he turned his back. “Dismissed.”

I moved my head up and stared at Hali. He just nodded at me and mouthed. “I’ll be okay.”

My tears flowed as I watched the guard hold Hali and walked away from us. When the door shut, my sobs filled the room.

“What are we going to do? He should not be punished! It’s… it’s…” I could not continue what I was saying due to the strong emotion. “It’s crap! One hundred slashes! His back would rip and he might die!”

“He is used to that.” He blew a sigh and palmed his face.

“How can you say that? He’s your brother! You should do something to get him out of the courtroom! It’s painful!” I grabbed his shoulder and shook him. “You seemed no care for him! Do something! What kind of brother you are! Yo-”

“He did that to protect you! If I’ll be involved, that means you, too! You are assigned to me! My father’s rule is ‘the mistake of one, mistake of all.’ And you are included in the ‘all’ thingy! You just thank him after this!” He recklessly stood up.

My head moved down, I looked at the ground and silently cried.

“You’re the one who’ll die if you take the slashes! You’re just an ordinary-”

“Werewolf?” I looked up on him. The hot liquid streaming on my face. “I am just a low born omega? No power, just a servant?”

I stood up. I stepped closer to him. Face to face. “Yes, I am! But I’m not a… coward. Not like you!”

I walked to the door and shouted. “I’ll take my punishment even if I die!” I was about to rotate the doorknob when Pyro held my hand.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

“Don’t. Try. Me.” He emphasized those words, causing my body to tremble. His face was cold and the fire started to ignite on his eyes. “You stay here and take my order.”
