Alpha King of Fire

THE SPECIAL IN HIS NAME

FIRA’S POV

I 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, but I would not take my risk, my body, my virginity to the man that I did not love. At least I had something to be proud of when I got married or when I found the man that would make my heart pump with a soothing and thrilling feeling. I wanted to do something intimate to the man that I admired, not to the kings who had no hearts for his people.

He moved closer again. The dread was consuming me. The trembling of my body was getting worse. That means he was not listening to me-

“I just got my water.” He raised the glass. A small smile formed on his lips.

A sigh of relief came out to me. He had a small smile. That was changing my mind that I was wrong to judge him in the past seconds.

Crap, Fira! How did you even think of him doing something bad to you! Are you so beautiful to be kissed by the Alpha King of Fire? You are so embarrassing!

I just walked away from him. I was about to move out in the kitchen when I heard him. “Fira?”

I managed to give him a genuine smile, but I failed, it came out as a fake one. “Yes, King Fire?” I was stuttering as if my heart was about to move out of my body.

“Where is my coffee?”

“Ahh. Hehe. I forgot.” I went to the refrigerator immediately.

Oh, crap! Why am I going to the refrigerator? He was asking for a coffee!

When I looked at him, he was watching me with his sleepy eyes. I thought the sleepiness was consuming him.

“Make it two.” He ordered again. He was not looking at me, he was just drinking the cold water.

Oh? Is his head aching so bad that is why he wants two coffees? Poor, Alpha.

I moved as fast as I could and brewed him a coffee. When I was done, I put it in front of him with a smile on my lips. “Enjoy your coffee. I didn’t put poison in it so no worries.”

“I didn’t think that.” He grabbed the other one and gently pushed forward the other cup. “Sit and drink with me.”

My mouth was barely opened. My mind could not accept the words he said so I spent a second absorbing them. When I got what he said, I sat and drank the coffee without even thinking that it was freshly boiled from the casserole pan!

The coffee was freaking hot, that was why my tongue burnt. “Ouch, ouch, ouch!”

My tongue was out of my mouth, hanging on my upper lip. I raised my hand up and fanned it with my fingers. Moving faster in air, up and down direction. I massaged it as if it could lessen the hot feeling.

“Are you okay, Fira?” For the first time in my life, I saw the worry in his eyes. “You should not rush drinking coffee. It’s hot. Look what happened to you.” His voice was calm, but his body reaction was telling me that he would never be relaxed with just watching me aching with my own dumbness.

I put my tongue back inside my mouth. “I am fine. I am sorry.”

I had no hesitation to drink the glass of his cold water. I did not mind if he would punish me by drinking in his glass. Instead of scolding me, he poured water on his glass and nodded, gesturing to me to drink more, so I did.

“Thank you so much.” I dragged the glass moving closer to him. He just looked at that and then stared at my face.

“Feeling good?” His eyebrows went up. His eyes were telling me to say the words he would like.

“No worries. I am good. I will never die from burning although my tongue is a bit stinging. It will not bother my job in the Elemental Kingdom, if that is your concern-”

“How did you conclude like that?” He tilted his head, observing my face that made me embarrassed. “I didn’t say any words, did I?”

I moved my head from left to right. The fear started to bother me, it was spreading all over me. “Sorry, King Fire.”

“Why?” His question was in a low tone, just casual, but there was a thick command on that.

“Pardon?” Our eyes met, I did not look down. I let my sight view his perfectly formed face.

“Why are you keep calling me King Fire when I said call me Pyro when we are alone? Does my name not sound good to you?”

I studied his expression. What is so special about calling him by his name when he is a royalty? Does he not want to be called King Fire that serves as his mark of having a powerful life than the others?

I heard the same thing with Zephyrus, The Alpha King of Wind, that royal endearment made him cringe which I did not get.

“Should I change my name for you?” His voice sounds serious. No! He was always serious. If he was not Pyro, I might think that he was just joking.

“I-I don’t get it?” I shook my head. Trying to absorb what he was trying to say. “My responsibility is to call you in accordance with your rank and for being nobility. What makes…” I looked down and said the next words in a low voice, “special when I call you by your name?”Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

He grabbed the harsh air and blew it out. I would not notice that if his chest did not move from up and down. He was good at hiding his feelings or his genuine expression. That was what I learned from dealing with him in the past days.

“It’s special…” He turned his back on me. He walked away without saying goodbye. Then, when he was approaching the door he spoke again.

“Because you are Fira.”

What?
