Alpha King of Water

CHERISH

ZARYA’S POV

“How dare you shout at me in front of my friends!” Those were the words cem out to him as I entered the room.

My attention was caught by the women’s clothes, hanging in the closet that was now opened. It was unbelievable. I did not see him in the past few days because he was with someone? With Sera probably?

“I’m going home.” My voice had no energy. I was so sick of this. I gazed at him with tears condensing beside my eyes.

Why you? Why of all people?

I turned my back and held the doorknob. I needed to hurry, leave this place, or else he would see how broken my heart was.

He is the Alpha King. He can do whatever he wants. He can get whoever he likes. He can be with whoever he desires.

Me? I am nothing. No one. If I disappear, nobody will take the risk and effort to find me. Not Hali, not the King Water. He dragged me to this mission to train me, not even knowing how dangerous it was. He only thinks about his friends, himself, and his pleasures.

I had one step toward out when he circled his big arms to my small body, leaning his chin on my shoulder. There he was, playing sweet again. I knew what he wanted. I knew it from the start, but why am I became a fool? Why am I so stupid to agree with this matter?

“Stay.” He whispered to my ear. “Let’s talk.”

The tears rolled from my eyes down to my cheek. I wiped it immediately. I did not want him to notice it.

Crying is a sign of weakness.

I pulled all my courage to unfasten his hands, but he was too strong. I was drowned in my feeling. Even if I hated him so much, his heat and my heart pounding made me remain in my stand.

“Why I didn’t see you for the past few days?”

“You have no right to一”

“I’m so sick of this!” I tried not to sob, I had difficulty prohibiting it. “Let’s end up the agreement. I can avenge my own family on my own!”

“There’s no way out.” He shut his eyes and settled his lips on my shoulder. “No out with my charm.”

“Who said I am charmed with you?” I sniffed two times and covered my lips as I did not want him to hear my sobs. Thousands and millions of thorns suffocating my heart.

“Your tears.” He kissed my cheek from behind, his hands were settled in my belly.

“Why are you… like that?” I was just whispering, I was so tired of this setup.

“Like what?”

“Heartless.” I unbonded his hands on my tummy and faced him. “I need to go.” I managed to step towards the door and left the room. I held the railings of the stairs while walking. The weakening of my body was filling me. The tears were crawling throughout my body.

“Zarya, are you okay?”

Even if my eyes were blurred, the innocent face of Seraphina could be seen.

Nice. She is a virgin, gorgeous and sexy. A beauty queen.

This is what Matilda talking about. When Hali used to me or I did not make him excite anymore, he would just throw me like trash. He would never look at me again with pleasure and that was how I saw in his eyes when he was staring at me with no expression. He felt nothing to me.

I glared at Sera with the fire in my eyes. “If you think you steal what is mine. You can’t never me.” I wiped the tears using my palm.

I marched to the second floor with my hands closed. I swayed my hips going down the stair. It was good timing when Colden was entering the house.

“Hi, Zarya.” He gave me a cute smile while waiting for his hands.

“Are you free today?” I gave him a wide smile.

“My time is always free when you’re asking.”

“Good. Let’s have a date.”

His mouth moved open. Khal and Froy were on the couch. They were shocked. Khal slowly brought down his magazine while gazing at me with no emotion. Froy moved his head up. Only to find out that Hali was on the second floor, looking down at us.

“Yes or no?” My wide smile stretched even more.

“Yes.” Colden’s lips formed a huge handsome smile.

Why can’t I love Colden instead? He is my king after all. If only my father did not die.

*****

“Come on!” I moved down from the car when I saw the peacocks slowly walking down the road. Colden a bit knowledge of the Human World, so he could not bring me to any place. He just suggested a road trip, viewing the nature we passed by.

A genuine smile formed on my lips as I watched the peacocks. It had iridescent blue necks, bright green tail feathers dotted with eyespots and it was so wonderful!

“It’s so beautiful! Look! Look!” I slowly moved, so I could not disturb them.

Colden was just standing, watching me, his two hands were inserted into his two pockets. He was wearing a white plain v-neck shirt and black pants. His shoes were white also. He was so cute with those. However, Zephyrus was the cutest among all of them. He acted childish unlike Colden, he was like Korean Oppa, adorable and handsome was the combination of his description. He was so kind in any aspect and I would surely be secure when I was with him.

We walked on the road, observing nature. The rice plants, trees, birds, and even carabaos.

“Speak up.” Colden’s eyes blinked two times. When I move my head up, the reflection of the sun hits his face. I only see his charming eyes.

“Speak what?”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“You and Hali had a fight which was why you invited me for a date? Am I a second choice now?” There was a pain in his tone, but he tried to mask it.

“King Ice, even if we had no fight. I will never take long on his side. He is a mad king. He shouts at everything! He is the worst man I have ever known!” I gritted my teeth as I remembered him. Thinking about him made me in a bad mood.

“You are just saying that because you are angry. When he talks to you again, you will一”

“I can’t stay with a negative person.” I gave him a small smile as I let out the air. “A man with a loud voice. Can’t.” My eyes became small when I looked up at the orange-yellow sky. “I want to be with the man who will love me back. Who will care the same as I care.”

“Why choose me, then?”

My eyes were glued to his face. I memorized his attractive eyes, thick eyebrows, pointed nose, and thin rosy pink lips. His eyes were sparkling as if he was telling me I was the most beautiful girl in the world.

Colden is my ideal man. There is no question about that, but why does my heart keep picking Hali?

“There is no need to answer.” Colden’s lips stretched into a smile. “You can pick me or any man you want, but please… not the Alpha King of Water.” He paused and then continued. “You will not be cherished.”

I doubled-blink my eyes as I stared directly into his eyes. “Show me how to cherish, my king.”

The next thing I knew was beyond control, but I never refused. Colden cupped my cheek, our lips glued together.

I deserve to be loved, not to be treated like trash.
