Alpha King of Fire

CARTER’S PUNISHMENT

FIRA’S POV

I covered my lips as I viewed the grave of my mother and father. The tears in my eyes were rolling into my cheek. Pyro gave a proper grave for both of them. It had a name and was full of flowers in the surrounding area. I gazed at Pyro and held his hand tightly.

“You’re the best, Dearest.” I gave him a peck at the cheek before I knelt down and stared at the name of my mother.

Eyrom Hayes

Liyana Hayes

Their names engraved at the gravestone was soothing my heart. I could feel the happiness in my system.

They were great parents in the whole universe. I’m so proud to have them as our parents.

“If they were here, they would be glad for you.” Pyro settled down beside me. “A little sacrifice and we’ll live as a complete and peaceful family.”

I sealed my mouth as I was listening to Pyro.

“Greetings. Mother of Fira, I’m Pyro. I’m Fira’s lover. I’m glad to see you again.” Pyro blew air and then inhaled deeply. “I just want you to know that Fira is in good hands. I will take care and love her for the rest of my life.” He raised his palm and continued. “I swear to the Element of Fire.”

While gazing at him, I was thinking that I was the happiest woman in the world. Imagine that I was just an omega. Everything was not the same as him. However he never looked down on me because I was just low born. He was treating me as equal. My gratitude for having him as my lover was not enough to thank him for giving me a thrill in my life.

My father died because of saving me and I did not want his life to be in vain if I and Pyro did not make it in the end. The last time he talked to me, he was supporting us for our relationship. I did not know that would be the last time I would see him.

I closed my eyes. Full of memories flashed in my head. I could see my mom in my mind.

“There will be an incoming 5 kings at the Elemental Kingdom. They have differences, but what I like is the Alpha King of Fire. He is a silent king. It feels like his world is hush. In that attitude, I predict that he wants a peaceful kingdom.” Mom was telling a story to me when he came from the celebration of the birthday of the kid. Not an ordinary kid, but the Alpha King of Fire.

I was interested because they were fellow kids. I had no friends at all. I was wondering if those kings would be my friends if our lives crossed. It may be cool if I had a friend who was royal.

“Mom, are they going to play with me?” My little voice echoed at our small house.

“They will. As long as you are a good kid.” Mom pinched my chin into a smooth way and kissed me on my forehead. “If one day, you meet the kings. One of them will be your lover.”

My eyes opened in reality when I remembered those memories. Mom already told me about that. I was so nuts about forgetting it. I tried to recall the continuation of that memory. Luckily, it popped up in my head.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“I came from the city and looked for the prophecy. You’re destined to be his mate.” She gave me the sweetest smile I could ever see.

“Who among them, Mom?” My little eyes blinked three times as my small hands grip her skirt.

“They didn’t tell me. You’ll know if this…” She pointed at my chest. “Beats.”

Going back to reality, I gazed at Pyro for so long. It was not an accident that we met on the day of my death and assigned him as the omega.

It was all destined.

“What are you looking at?” His two eyebrows moved up. “Aren’t I handsome in your eyes?’

“You always are.” I leaned my head on his shoulder as I was looking at my parent’s grave.

I was planning to be here for every once a week. I will bring Ember next time.

We stayed at the grave for so long before we came back to the Elemental Kingdom. We went to the Dungeon to check if Carter was still there. The place was scary, loud noise was echoing around; the scream of the prisoners, their grief and sadness.

My feet stuck with the cell where Carter was lying on the ground. The truth was I could feel pity on him even if he was the baddest man on earth. I was facing his back as he was folding his body into a fetus position.

“Let’s go.” I nodded at Pyro. Actually, we just want to see him here; to ensure that he was already inside.

“It’s fun to play with your life, Fira.”

My feet froze as Carter talked. He was remaining in his position, but he was speaking as if he was talking to me. I waited for another word that would come out from his mouth.

“Especially when Eyrom stole the crown!” He laughed so hard to the point that he was touching his belly. “He stole the crown because I ordered it!” He laughed again. It was echoing to the whole area. “I’m the reason why he was jailed at the Dungeon and Fira suffered for worrying too much!”

That was ridiculous! Crap! All this time, he was the cause of my father’s suffering! I gritted my teeth as I went back and glared at him with my burning eyes.

“The bars suit you.” I emphasized the words.

“I killed Janus and tortured him!” He laughed so loud that making the other prisoners created a noise. This place was blowing the sanity of a normal person.

“I killed my mother!” He was saying that as if he was proud of what he did. “They will never be happy! They will not!” He stood up and walked back and forth.

He was not thinking normally.

In this world that is full of mistakes, there is a punishment. His are already felt.

It is hard to live in the dark where there is no exit.
