A few minutes later.We were at the bar, I was looking around. I hated the loud noise of music and squabbling with people. "Where is Fira?" My forehead wrinkled as I looked at my three brothers. They shrugged their shoulders with a smirk on their faces, except Colden. He raised his finger with a gesture of 'peace.'"Scam." I gritted my teeth and glared at Hali and Zephyrus. I gave them a strike on the belly using the back of my hands. "Ouch!" Zephyrus' wince was visible. Hali did not care, he just passed me and sat on the island counter. "Really? Where is Fira?" My eyes had a fire as if I would burn the mastermind Zephyrus. "Why me? It was Hali who said Fira was here!" Zephyrus moved away from me. "I would not let her slash when we caught." He sat beside Hali. "Pyro has a crush on Fira. He joined us by just hearing her name." Hali crossed his arms and called the bartender. I wanted to kick the ass of Hali for saying nonsense, but I kept silent. It was a waste of saliva if I fou
PYRO'S POVThe man marched, going to Zephyrus and hit him with his closed fist, but Zephyrus immediately dodge with a smirk on his face. "Do not put filthy hands on my handsome face. You should regret that." Zephyrus just shrugged, being calm while straight manly standing in front of that man. "Who do you think you are!"He just stared at him with a smile. "If you know, you'll die." It sounded like a joke when he was saying those lines. Different from how I burst it out. I grabbed the bottle of liquor, poured my glass and drank it continuously. I tilted my head when I saw the friends of the mad man. There were four approaching Zephyrus. They had a big masculine body. I thought that King Wind would have difficulty knocking them out. I looked around to find Hali. That man was on the couch with a girl on his lap and kissing her hungrily. That was gross. He did not even bother to know what was happening on Zephyrus. Although I should not mind, too, he could hit them harder. He was su
PYRO'S POV"You see that, Pyro! You see him, right? Or I was just drunk to see Raiden here? Maybe, maybe? I mean why would Raiden come here? Oh, that was making my mind away from my body! I was trembling and nervous when I heard his voice! Where is the justice in that!" Zephyrus seemed active. The effect of alcohol was blown away by just seeing Raiden. He was being blabby again and that hurt my ear. "Pyro, what is your reaction to that!" Zephyrus shook my shoulder. When I glared at him, he stopped, he just sat beside me.He shut his mouth when I started drinking again. When the chair moved to my side, I looked up and saw Hali. He had lipstick all over her lips, cheek and even in the chin. That was gross. "Hali! You will not believe what we saw! Raiden is here!" Zephyrus walked closer to him and sat beside him. "Ask Pyro, we saw him with our two eyes! My eyes wide—""I saw him before you. He was dancing there." Hali pointed at the dance floor. "When we arrived, he was here.""Really
PYRO'S POV"Kill me, King Fire."I moved closer to him and tapped his back. "I will think about that.""You can really kill me?" A chuckle of Colden came on in his mouth. I sighed in relief when I recognized that the calmness was now written on his face. "If your pack vanishes. What is the purpose of being an Alpha King of Ice if you don't have people?" I tapped his shoulder again, three times, soothing him. "You still have a pack to protect. Don't think of killing yourself. Learn how to control it instead.""I will." He smiled at me and wrapped his hands in my arms. If there was someone that I wanted to touch me, it was Colden. I had no idea why my heart was close to him. I smiled a bit and messed his hair. "We are going home.""Yup, Big Brother."We walked out of the room. We both stopped when we arrived at the door, Raiden was there. Looking at us with his serious face. He tilted his head and observed Colden. "What did you do?"Colden was about to open his mouth when I spoke. "No
PYRO'S POV"Thirty slashes." King Oswald ordered. "Oh, no! No way!" Zephyrus stomped his feet on the ground. "Forty slashes." Our father's echoed in my ears. That was hurtful, I was sure of that. Oh!" They all groaned in annoyance. "Fifty slashes." King Oswald turned his back at us while shaking his head. We closed our mouths. That was flesh ripping. "Nice one, Zephyrus." Hali looked at him badly. "Finally, we will have fifty sla—""Excluding Raiden." Father said. "For now, sleep. When the sun completely rises, you will be in the courtroom." He looked at us, one by one. "Going to a nightclub, really?" His corner lip went up. "Be ready for your punishment." He paused. "By the way, good morning." Note the sarcasm in his voice. We watched him walking away until his figure could not see anymore. What kind of policy is that? Raiden was excluded? Seriously?"Wow! Raiden will not have the punishment? Really wow!" Zephyrus was looking at him with a giggling expression. "You report us?
FIRA'S POVI moved back and back. I had no idea what was supposed to be the proper reaction to what he was doing, but I could not deny the feeling of fright crawling all over me. I could see the dark expression in his eyes as if he had an eagerness to touch me or do something bad to me. Eira said that I should not trust the kings. I must not talk to him as if we were friends. Moving away from them was the only choice we had because they were all monsters. Their powers were making them beast. Whatever they desired, they would do that even though you were weak and had no choice to stop them, to refuse. Even if you said 'no' they would get what they wanted. King Fire was not an exemption. This time, I believed Eira. Pyro's eyes told me that he wanted me. "No, please." I managed to say those lines to know if there was a possibility to escape from his wants. That was true that King Fire's feature was captivating the hearts of every woman who looked at him. He was adonis-personified, bu
FIRA'S POVBecause I am Fira? What kind of answer is that? He left me hanging, finding the answer to his lines. We were just talking about calling him by his name and it went deeper than I ever expected. That was just a name! Crappy. Nothing more, but it gave me a headache thinking about the hidden meaning in his words. Crap! I should not think about that. I had lots of things to do for today. Saza gave me a mind blowing task that was why I woke up early. I needed to prepare breakfast for the whole mining worker. I sighed in frustration when my father came into my mind. I still have not gotten any news about him. He was not yet home. I was hoping that he was fine and just drowning himself in work. I wondered what his struggle was when mom died. I would find out since I was going to the mining area to give them food. I hoped my father was there. Cass helped me to grab a cart and put their breakfast. The coffee was sealed carefully. When we were done preparing, we immediately walke
FIRA'S POV"Here is your breakfast!" A wide smile was on my face when we arrived at the mining area. As usual, the miners were busy and working early this morning. I looked around while giving them a cup of coffee. "Hello. Do you know where my father is?" I asked one of them when I handed him a coffee. "What's your father's name?" "Eyrom. Is he here? Maybe he is in the cave?" I was about to walk, but he grabbed my arms. "He has not been in the area since your mother died." He gulped a coffee. "I thought he was still recovering from the pain?"My lips parted, looking at him with confusion. He was not coming home for about a week. Last time, we talked. He just gave me bread and told a story about my mother and him. I could still remember his sad smile. I knew he had a problem, but I was just thinking that maybe he was just sad because he would not be with mom. "He did not go home for a week. Do you know where he went?" I could not hide the sad expression in my eyes. He pointed at
Chapter 82THE KINGS' PLAN AFIRA’S POVIn the middle of our hug, Zephyrus removed our arms. “Great job. You showed your relationship to the Princess. You think she’ll not mess up Fira’s life?”The princess was not there. She probably walked out when she saw the scene. Hali was tsking while he was shaking his head from left to right. Raiden had no expression, he was holding his burned hand because of Pyro. Colden was sighing. I was amazed by the friendship and the love that they had for each other, especially the support. They were working together.“What should we do then?” Colden asked.“Nothing,” Raiden said. He was still handsome with his wincing when he was rotating his hand. “Pyro can still marry her and create a child with her. “The sadness formed in my face. Yeah, who am I to prevent it? He is a king after all.“Then how about Fira?” Zephyrus kept minding me when in fact. That was not a problem for me.The royal destined to be a royal. They will only marry each other and rule
Chapter 81DISASTERFIRA’S POVI was excited to bring the hot chocolate to the room of King Fire. I was about to knock when I heard someone talking inside. My smile faded as I realized what the conversation was all about. It was Zephyrus and Pyro, they seemed arguing.“F*ck! Yeah I love f*cking random girls, but when I loved the girl I would not not be f*ck up like you! Why do you agree with marriage? Then what are you going to do with Fira? Dumb her?” I could feel the anger of Zephyrus. He was a happy king like I always described, but at this time...he was so angry.What are they talking about? Why is my name included?“I don’t love her! I’m a king, Zephyrus. I should serve the kingdom according to my duty.”“Don’t be a martyr. You have a choice, but you choose to be silent.”I don’t love her? Me?My grip at the cup of chocolate tightened. My heart was suffering from the ache that I had no clue where it came from. At the beginning, I was aware that he was a king and I was just an om
Chapter 80FIRA'S FATHERPYRO'S POVI did not move or say anything. It was not good for me and Fira, but this was my destiny. A king's duty and responsibility.My brothers stared at me with worry in their eyes. I kept my mouth when my father tapped my shoulder. “You’ve got a good choice. My son is kind and smart, too. He is a great fighter. Congratulations.”I stared at her face and then burst a word in a low tone. “Why?”“I just feel like it’s you.”I shut my mouth again. I just bowed my head. “My pleasure, your majesty.”Even if I did not want to. I had no choice. A king is always a king. In his mouth, action andrules. I should obey the terms of the Elemental Kingdom.When my eyes met Zephyrus he was looking at me with annoyance in his face. I was not sure what made him annoyed. Then I realized he was one of Fira’s friends. Maybe he was thinking about her. Fira knew about being a king. She would not be shocked if the news went to her.“Is that okay to you, King Patricio and Queen F
Chapter 79PICK A KINGPYRO'S POV I was looking at the Princess in front of me. She was smiling like an angel. We were sitting at the long table with the visitors from the Brave Wolves Kingdom. I already met this Princess because my father was a good friend of their family. I had no idea why they were here, but I thought it was because of the celebration of the King’s Shifting.“Your daughter is pretty. She grew up like her mother, King Patricio.” My father was looking at the young lady. The amusement was in his eyes.Princess Ziraya smiled, the dimples from her cheek became visible. She had the most tantalizing eyes that I had ever seen. The nose was in perfect proportion. She had a small attractive round shaped face, blonde wavy long hair. She looked like an angel. I could say that she was more beautiful than Fira, but sorry, Fira had a special spot in my heart.Damn. Fira is the most gorgeous woman that I have met.“Do you know my kings, Princess Ziraya?” King Arealdo first looked
Chapter 78FULL MOON VIFIRA'S POVPyro’s lips went to my cheek, moved up to my forehead and then kissed it. “You, okay?” His voice was sweet.“Yes, your majesty,” I said with just a low tone. I gasped a lot of air to sustain the shortcoming in my lungs.We stared at each other’s faces for about a second. His arms wrapped around my waist. I prevented my eyes from looking at his handsome attractive face because the kiss was playing to my mind over and over again. My mother said if the man was kissing a woman with gentle, not harming, afraid of hurting her...he has a heart with the lucky woman.Does Pyro have a heart for me?I looked down and scratched my forehead. “Why did you…” My face blushed due to the embarrassment that was crawling to my body, “kiss me?”“Because I want to.” He scartched the peak of his nose as if he was shy, too. He held my hand, enveloped my arms on his neck. “Come on. Let’s go to the celebration.”I just nodded. He raised my hand, dragged it to his lips and kis
Chapter 77FULL MOON VFIRA’S POVI showed Pyro how happy I was. I moved closer to him and hugged him so tight. It did not matter to me if I was not wearing anything on my upper body. He raised his hand and then caressed my hair, he fixed it, going at my back and then kissed my forehead.The light of the moon was giving us a perfect view. We were both hugging each other while Pyro’s lips were on my forehead. I closed my eyes as I was feeling the intense emotion that brings happiness to my system, making my heart pound, the current was crawling all over my body.There was no more explanation. I want to be with him for the rest of my life.We stayed at the water for so long, embracing each other, closing our eyes while hearing the murmur of the falls which was pretty relaxing.“Pyro! Get down!” We both looked at the cliff when we heard a shout of Zephyrus.The confusion was written in our faces. “What?”“The guards are finding you, if they see you with Fira...it’s not a good thing so mo
Chapter 76FULL MOON IVPYRO’S POVI have never been content in my entire life. I felt like I was not enough for anyone, for the pack, for my brothers, for myself. I was aiming for more because the dread of losing everyone was consuming me.But by Fira's side, I am no more to wish for. I found the perfection that would never fade. I found the light that would never disappear. I discovered how it felt to be with someone, with someone who could always listen to me. I found a best friend on behalf of Fira. I appeared not to be a king, but just Pyro, an ordinary werewolf who was afraid of losing anybody in his life. Afraid of disappointment, Fira made me realize that I had no control of everything.What happened was not my mistake. I should accept that it was a life. Life has flaws.I was staring at her face while she was wiping her hair from his cheek to the side of her ear. She was smiling like a goddess of beauty, like the only perfect thing in this world.“You’re the most beautiful v
Chapter 75FULL MOON IIIFIRA’S POVHe looked away as if he was hiding something. “Nope.”“I was looking for him for the past few days, I thought you saw him. Did the challenge between the two of you continue?” I was gathering all of my strength while saying that because he might misinterpret what I was saying.I mean I last saw him in the garden. It was impossible that Pyro did not see him, he challenged him, meaning they would have a fight. I forgot to look after him because King Lightning needed my advice that very night.“I didn’t see him. He didn’t show up at the meeting area.” He was looking somewhere while saying that.“Can you help me to find him?”I paused. The pleas were scattered all over my wolf face. “Please?”“Okay.” He moved closer to me and joined me to watch the moon. The light of it was reflecting on his face.I never noticed that I was looking at his face for so long. The full moon was good to see, but I had no idea why Pyro’s features were perfect to me. I could see
King Ice’s True FortitudeCOLDEN’S POVI blew a sigh with tiny curves in my lips, reminiscing my mother’s words before I left the Ice Pack. “Look after Eira for me. I like her and so do you.” She placed her hand on my cheek and caressed it. “If you need a back up, just send me raven. Don’t let your father ruin your life by marrying the wrong lady.” “He’s going to find me a woman.”“Rebel against him. The king should choose the love of his life. The pack will put on misery if the king is not happy. He should need a partner with the same heart as him.” He messed up my hair like a kid. That was my favorite gesture of hers. I will miss her. “Fight to become a Higher King and change that tradition.” “Mother… I don’t want to become a Higher King.” “I never ask you to be greedy. You must stand up for what is just. You're a good alpha compared to your brothers.” She caressed my chin and kissed my cheek. “You must take the throne.” “Mother… I told you一” “Yes, you told me many times. But
