Alpha King of Water

ZARYA’S PLAN

KHAL’S POVThis text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

“Oh, Man! Do you know how to catch fish?” I scratched the point of my nose.

Zephyrus woke me up early in the morning because he said it was a good day to teach me how to fish and then it seemed like he was just joking. He did not even know that there should be a worm on the hook to attract the fish.

Zephyrus laughed so loud. He leaned his right arm on my shoulder as he tapped it. He was treating me like a best of friends. I actually enjoyed his company, I felt like chuckling and laughing at all times even in his simple gesture. This was a good idea, instead of staying at Raiden’s chamber, why not do something that could convert my emotion?

My chest tightened as I remembered my mom’s death. It was hard to pretend that I was okay when in fact, I wanted to die. I liked to be with my mother. If only not because of Zarya, I would not live.

“You know, Dude. everyone will be dead in time. I hope you understand that.” He raised his fishing rod and then he would pout as the disappointment filled his emotion.

“My mom is my world.” The sadness could be heard in the tone of my voice. “My everything.”

“Don’t worry. I will show you to the women of the Elemental Kingdom. I hope you like one of them, so… you can stay here forever.”

My lips were stretched into a sad smile. “I came from break up.”

“That’s so sad, but you know… you should not take things too seriously. You’re gonna have wrinkles at an early age.” He laughed so loud for the second time. What a happy king, his vibes were different from Hali and Raiden. Hali would shout at me at any movement if he got irritated, Raiden’s mouth spelled words which were always had a sense such as the things he read in the book. Zephyrus was talking nonsense at all times which made him funny.

“Look at me.” He even cupped my cheek just to stare at his face which made me awkward because we were both men and anyone who would see us in this situation would think dirty of us. “Do I have wrinkle?”

I prohibited the loudness of my laugh. He was one crazy man. I recognized that he looked so young for his age. How old are they? I think 25 years old, the same age as me. Only Zarya was 18 years of age.

“No, you don’t have.” I pulled my face on him. I stared at my fishing rod, it was difficult to get a fish. We were here for about an hour, but I never felt boring. Zephyrus’s mouth would never be contented without saying.

“How’s your sleep at Raiden’s chamber?” Out of nowhere, he would ask me that question.

“Fine. He’s really accommodating. He’s not there for two nights when I first came here.” I adjusted my seat on the wide gray rock.

“Probably, he went to Queen Adhira. If there’s a man who never fails… that’s Raiden, everyone likes him.” There was a proudness in his voice. If there was I learned from them, the brothers, they loved each other more than anything. If you were looking at them for the first time, they seemed rivals in power. However, I did not see them, not even once, they fought for power. They were united and supported each other no matter what. For sure, Zephyrus was here because Hali ordered him to be with me, to join me and make me laugh.

“Pyro? Do you like him? Of course, not. Who will like him? He’s a silent king who doesn’t care, doesn’t talk. But you know what? He came to me this morning and command me to invite you for a walk.”

“Pyro? I thought Hali?” my forehead formed a wave.

“Yeah, Hali, too. He kicked me so fucking early. He said if I did not follow Pyro, he would kick me on my balls.” He chuckled adorably. “I am scared of Hali, he would bite me whole. Whatever he said, he will do. Be careful with that man. His feature is handsome, but he’s a monster.” I knew that he was just kidding me. I chuckled genuinely.

“What did you say?”

I bit my lips as I heard Hali’s voice at my back. I could smell a fight between the two kings.

“I said you’re the most handsome king in the whole Alpha King’s World!” Zephyrus slowly stood up while giving me his fishing rod. Then, when Hali was approaching he ran so fast while laughing so hard.

“You fucking bastard!” Hali ran, catching him. “How dare you badmouthed me with my best friend!” Hali shouted at him while giggling. “You have huge balls and a tiny shaft!”

Zarya’s laughter filled my ear as he sat beside me and wrapped her hand on my shoulder. Good thing, I had still family left. If nothing, I would be crazy.

“I’m sure, your vocal is hurting due to too much laughing. Zephyrus is insane.” Zarya whispered, it was just enough to hear me.

“Ouch! Ouch! I’m gonna call Raiden and report you!” Zephyrus was acting childish, acting like crying as Hali was throwing a small pebble at him which hit him in the thighs.

I just wondered why Raiden was like their leader when in fact, he was not the firstborn king. Zephyrus said Pyro was the firstborn, next was Hali, Colden, Raiden, and Zephyrus, the youngest.

“How are you now?” Zarya grabbed Zephyrus’ fishing rod.

“Not that good. Everywhere I go, it reminds me of my mom.”

She leaned her head on my shoulder and hugged me from the side. “We’ll get through this.”

“I hope so.” I embraced her arms that were on my chest.

“So what’s your plan? Are you going back to Human World?”

I gazed at her. “Your plan is my plan.”

“You mean if I stay here, you will stay here?”

I gave her a huge smile. “Wherever is my sister, I will be with her.”

“I’m planning to join the Battle Of The Next Betas. It will start tomorrow.”

“What is that?”

“The occasional choosing of beta; a fighter of the kingdom.”

“Will it harm you? Are you going to fight to be a beta?” I opened my mouth and then closed it again. The fear in my chest was spread around me. I lost my mother and I did not want to lose a sister. Especially when we did not see each other for a long period of time. This was the only time we united.

“Yes, there’s a possibility that I will die in there. It’s a game for the survival of the strongest.”

I sealed my mouth. I wanted to protest and ask her ‘How about me when you die?’ I love my sister so much, even if I did not tell it her directly. I love her since I meet her, and now I understand why my heart was in her due to our blood relation.

“Our father has a title of a Great Beta. I want to be like him.” Zarya’s voice was full of determination. She was so serious and she had direct to a point goal. Who am I to stop her?

I had no response, except for a blow of sigh.
