Alpha King of Fire

EMBER: THE PRINCESS

FIRA’S POV

I never heard anything from Janus after Clero said Pyro’s threat. He kept silent, went out of the room, and left me. When I gazed again at the window, he was not there. That was my last time seeing him. After giving birth to my child, I was inside the Pack at all times, taking care of my child and doing some

household.

“Mama, look what I found!” Ember was running playfully, jumping while her one hand was raised, holding a red-yellow tulip.

A big smile formed on my lipid. I put down the container of water and ran towards her. I lifted her to my arms and swayed a little. I kissed her cheek and giggled as she was placing the tulip to my ear. “You look so radiantly beautiful, Mama!”

“Thank you, my love. You, too. You are so?” I emphasized the long ‘so.’ “Beautiful!”

“Fira and Ember, let’s go eat.” Janus walked closer to us, he grabbed Ember from me and placed her in his arms.

I never felt that he was mistreating Ember. The guilt ran to my system as I watched Janus pampering my little Ember, she was sitting on his lap while putting food on her plate. “Papa, can we get another tulip?”

“Sure, Baby. Just let Papa rest.”

He came from hunting for food. The situation of Red Moon Pack was different from the Elemental Kingdom, if you want to eat then hunt. Unlike there, everyone was at the table.

“Fira, sit here beside me. Don’t move, let the servants fulfill their role.” His eyebrow knitted as he looked at me.

I nodded my head and smiled. I watched Ember’s small hands getting rice and placing it in her mouth. “No, Baby. Your hands are dirty.” Janus grabbed a cloth, wiped them, and then used a spoon to grab a bowl of rice. He also chopped the chicken into pieces.

“It’s delicious!” Ember is a playful kid. I could see myself to her when I was a kid. Sometimes, she was having Pyro’s attitude. She loved music. At times, the fear was inside my chest. They were some angles that she looked like her real father. I was scared that Janus would recognize it.

I brushed the black shiny hair of Ember, she inherited my hair. The eyelashes were thick like her father’s, the shape of the face was like mine. Definitely, most of her features were grabbed after me.

In my years of living here, I never felt sadness and when I started to think of Pyro, I just stared at my daughter. I thought that she was a boy, but when I saw how pretty she was, she was the best thing that had happened to me even though I almost died just to give birth to her. There was a time that I was thinking about the Elemental Kingdom, thinking of visiting the Kings especially匬yro. I decided not to do that. I did not want to create an argument between me and Janus. He was doing his best to be a good husband and father to Ember. However, I was scared of not giving what a guy wanted at night. I cried every night when he was attacking me with his kisses, but somehow, I was lucky, Caroline was there to save me from that pleasure. He just went to bed, kissed and touched me and when he was releasing that thing, he went to Caroline.

“When you’re ready.”

Those were the lines that he kept whispering every night I was not given myself to him. He was not that stupid to know that Ember was not his daughter, but he kept cherishing her. I had no idea if he knew it or he was just pretending not to know it.

After having dinner, we went out for a walk. I was holding the arm of Janus while Ember was on his arm, pointing in the direction she wanted to go.

“Papa, you need an heir, right?” The sadness was shown on her adorable face, she was pouting her lips. “You’re the Alpha and Mama is the Luna. I’m a girl, can’t rule the pack厃ou need a son, right?” He pinched the chin of Janus. “Right, Papa?”

Janus looked at her with admiration and love for her so-called daughter. I averted my look as I saw how he loved her so much. Every day, I was feeling uncomfortable by this, guilty of playing my own game. I needed to tell him the truth, or else I was too late to say it.

“Yes, Baby. We need an heir as soon as possible.” He gazed at me, pulled my waist towards him. “Why? Do you want a brother?”

“Yes, Papa! But?” Her lips were pouting sharply. I could see a little girl version of Pyro, which was not accurate at the moment. She should look like me, not his father. However, I could not change the blood running to hers.

“But what?” Janus wiped the sweat on her forehead.

“But I want to be an Heiress. Promise!” She raised her cute tiny hands and gave her full smile that showed the little version of me. “Promise, I can take care of the Red Moon Pack!”

“Love, you’re just a kid. Wait for you to grow old.” I touched her cheek. “You’ll be when you want.”

“Still need an heir.” Janus’ voice filled my ear, his voice was thick and the authority could be heard.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

I nodded my head, tried to change the topic. I did not want Ember to see his dark side. He was the father that she knew. This was where I am now, I should deal with this forever. We were married and my duty to be by his side all the time was my role.

We walked to the woods while watching the fireflies. Pyro was in mind, especially when I gazed that things. It was beautiful and peaceful and loving, just like the Freedom Day at the elemental Kingdom, just like our first date, just like his smile.

I missed him so much.

“Mama, Papa!” Ember ran and ran until he reached us. She showed me her hands that were full of fireflies. “It’s wonderful!”

“Wow, you get the most of it.” Janus knelt down to touch her small face.

I sniffed as the liquid from my nose was gradually peeping. Lacking Pyro’s presence and my situation as a Luna in this pack were making it difficult. I had power. I had family, but never be completely happy.

My happiness is at the Elemental Kingdom.

“Fira, don’t give me a reason again tonight. We’ll talk about some matters. I’ll just talk to someone, I want you to clean your body.” He never gazed at me, his eyes were glued to Ember.

I gulped the struggle in my throat. “I understand, Alpha.”

“The official is forcing me to provide them the Heir or else they’ll get the throne.”

“You have匛mber?”

He stared at my face. I backed away a little when I saw how dark his eyes were. “Are you kidding me?”

“Why? She’s?” I swallowed again, the fear was spreading around me. “She’s your daughter.”

The disbelief was written on his face. “Don’t make me talk, you’ll just be embarrassed. I gave all my consideration, can just do your job as my Luna?”

“I’m doing my job一”

“Not in bed.” He stood up recklessly and glanced at Ember “Ember, you need to sleep.”

“Yes, Papa!” She walked faster.

Janus looked down again at me. “If you want our family to be at peace, produce an heir for me. Is King Fire the only one you can give a child to?”

His gaze at Ember sharpened. The tears crawled to my cheek. I was right, he knew that Ember was not his child.
