Alpha King of Water

FLAWLESS NIGHT I

ZARYA’S POV

Zephyrus walked toward me and whispered. “Can we have a dance?”

“Huh?” My eyebrow moved up. I was in the midst of talking to the kings and yet King Wind would ask me that. Well, it did not matter. “Oh, sure, Your Majesty.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

There were many people. If they heard me that I just called him by his name, possibly they would conclude that I had respect. And we were prohibited to call them by just their names. They were kings, not ordinary wolves.

I gazed at where was Hali. My forehead formed a wrinkled. Am I just hallucinating? He was not there in just a blink of an eye.

Perhaps.

I accepted King Wind’s hand. I was so curious when he brought me not on the dance floor, but outside the Kingdom! I had nothing to do, except gesture to my brother that I would just go with King Wind.

“Where are we going, King Wind?” I pulled him to stop when we were at the stairs going down, near the fountain in the front yard.

“Just follow me.” He dragged my hand again towards the green wall of the twining plants. I actually did not know what was his plan. I just trusted him. He was Hali’s brother and he would not do anything to harm me.

My feet were stuck to where I was standing when I viewed the fireflies scattering around, making the dark illuminated. There was a center table that was covered with white clothing. In the middle of it, there was a vase of red roses. The most shocking part was Hali suddenly showed up behind the trees. I gulped my saliva as our eyes met each other.

Zephyrus’ voice filled my ear. “Gotta go. He might kill me for holding your hands.” He chuckled cutely as he hurriedly ran away. However, I knew he just hid behind the trees with his brothers. I accidentally saw Colden’s half-face before I saw Hali.

When Hali started to walk toward me, the world slowly moved and the only person I saw was him. The beat of my heart was deafening my ears. This was so surprising that even blinking, I could not do it. My feet could not step. I did nothing, just observing him closer and closer. He was not wearing a king garment. He was so handsome with his black suit with a white polo inside, no ties, just simple. His hair was a bit messy. He was holding a bouquet of pink tulips which I guess, came from the Human World.

Why does he have to be this handsome?

I blinked three times when he arrived in front of me. I did not want to close my eyes for so long. I was scared that he might disappear. He created a small smile on his lips. “I’ve been away for the past few days. Fix some shits at Zephyrus motherfucking company. Sorry.”

Did I clearly hear him? Did he say sorry? For what? For making me feel not special to him?

He gave me the bouquet of flowers. I just stared at it for a second when I came back to my senses, I held it in my arms. “What’s this?”

He shrugged his shoulder. “A date? Suggestions of those motherfuckers hiding at the back of the trees.”

I prevented the smile on my lips. Hali definitely had a badmouth, calling his brothers like that was the pain in my ear. He cupped my cheek, blew a sigh, and then settled his lips on my forehead. “I’m so proud of you, Poor Little Thing.”

The tears in my eyes welled up as he touched my heart with his words. Is this real? Is this happening now? Or it is just a dream?

I touched his cheek with my right hand, caressing it, feeling it, knowing if he was authentic. I bit my lips when his warmth was sensed by my skin. “This all means?” I did not assume anything. I just wanted to know why he was doing this.

He grabbed the bouquet of flowers and then held my hand, dragging me to the front of the table. He clenched his jaw as he breathe deeply. He gazed at my back. “Move your ass away from us! I can’t concentrate!”

I heard a loud laugh behind me and then footsteps going far from us. I chuckled a little. The kings were so naughty. My attention went back to Hali. he scratched the edge of his well-formed nose and then bit his lips. “You love me?”

My eyebrows raised. Out of nowhere, he would ask me unrelated? Or perhaps there was the following statement. I shut my eyes hard and then opened them again. “Yes.”

“Say it.” His tone was like commanding me, but even if he ordered it or not, I would be proud to say that.

“I love you.” The tone of my voice was so sweet. I did not hesitate or ashamed, that were my feelings and there was nothing to be afraid of.

“Since when did you last time say that?”

My forehead furrowed, however, I just ignored it. I just answered whatever he questioned. “When I let to join the Battle Of The Next Beta.”

“When was the first one you confess?”

I looked down and started to be annoyed. Is he kidding me? Mocking me or teasing me for loving him?

“At the Human World?”

“Exactly.” I saw his adam’s apple moving up and down. Was he nervous?

I bit my lips when he touched my both cheeks one more, and moved closer to my face as it caused my heart to jump. “When you say you love me…” He paused, caressing my cheek. “I know… I love you more.”

I froze as my eyes widened, automatically the tears rolled down to my cheek. He loves me? Is he not joking?

“When you say you… need me.” He looked away. “I know… I need you more.” Then, his eyes came back to me. “I just… didn’t know how to say it.”

I shook my head as the sob came out of my mouth. “Since when?”

He let out a frustrated air. “You have no right to一”

“Answer me, please.”

“Since my eyes lay on you.”

My mouth moved apart as the tears flooded to my cheek. “Since your eyes lay on me? And yet you are treating me like I am nothing?”

“I don’t fucking know how to love. That’s not in my vocabulary. I hate it… but…” He wiped the tears from my cheeks. “When I first saw you, my heart was stolen and I… have no right to take it back ’cause I was drowning and deeply into you.”

“Why can’t you say that!” My voice was raised. “Did you have to hurt me before I know? Did you have to push me away? Or make me feel I’m trash to you?”

“I am damaged, Zarya… I can’t fix myself, my attitude, my personality, my life… everything. The pieces of me are scattering around and I don’t want that pieces to hurt you.”

“I can handle that and paste it.” I leaned my face on his chest.

I felt his hands embracing me. “I don’t want you to go to where’s Kastrid now.” He brushed my hair up and down. “I can die for you, but I can’t see you dying.”

“I will not gonna die. I am a Great Beta.”

He chuckled a little. “Boastful.” He kissed my forehead. “Let’s go eat and we’ll have a long night.”

A huge smile established on my lips. All the worries went away when he hugged me so tight. “Miss you.” He whispered in the sweetest voice I have ever heard coming from him.

“Miss you more.”
