Alpha King of Water

FALSE HOPE

ZARYA’S POV

I was about to leave the apartment when there was a continuous ring of my phone. I immediately taped the answer button when I saw it was Froy.

“Damn it! Come here to my condo! I don’t know what should I do with the king of wolves!” His voice was panicking. I great playboy had now scared.

My eyes went to Colden. “He’s with Froy.”

We hurried to go to his condo. The guards did not let us in, but when they called Froy, they had no choice, except to give us permission. My heart was pumping so loud. I should prepare myself for Hali’s condition, according to Froy’s voice, he was not that good.

When we arrived at the condo, I rushed, looking side by side. “Hali!”

Should I blame myself for what happened to him? Definitely, he did this stupid thing because he wanted my mission to be done, so we could go back to the Elemental Kingdom.

My feet were stuck on the floor when the scene was unbearable. Seraphina was on his side, holding his hand while Hali was smirking at her. He had wounds on his shoulder, that was all. I thought he was in critical condition, good to know not.

“Zarya!” Sera had a wide smile when her eyes landed on me.

I almost rolled my eyes, if only I was bitter. She was sincere, kind-hearted, and had a gentle voice which made me annoyed. Somehow, I was just irritated at her because she is Hali’s mate.

“Hali,” I called him in a low voice. He stared at my face for a second and then wrinkled his forehead.

“What are you doing here?” He gazed at me and then at Colden. He was so cold.

“Sorry. I just worry about Zarya, so I came back.” Colden answered with his small smile. He walked towards him and examined his wounds. “How are you?”

“Good as fuck.” Hali avoided looking at me. He even ignored me.

“Can I have your words?”

He just blinked two times, the annoyance was in his eyes. “Leave us.”

They moved to leave the room. Suddenly, I gasped for air, the nervousness could feel inside my chest. I went beside him. “How are you?” I repeated the question of Colden a while ago.

“A bit wounded, but fine.” His voice was low and gentle. I could not see any wince on his face. He was really a fighter to endure the pain. He moved closer. I was startled when he circled his arms on my waist, closed his eyes, and his face was positioned on my chest.

“Why did you do that? What if you die? I’m worrying.”

“Dead? Even Satan will bring me back to earth.”

“Ugh!” I galred at him with annoyance when he lifted me up using his arms, placing me to the bed beside him.

“I need pussy.”

I hit his shoulder. “Are you serious!”

He chuckled happily. “My wound will not heal without you一” Suddenly he stopped talking as if he remembered something. He acted like he furrowed his forehead.

He had two personalities, the one had sweetness, and two, the mad asshole king.

“You with Colden?”

“Hmm.” I embraced my hand on his waist and settled my face on his chest while his arm served as my pillow. I did not care what should he think. I just liked to cuc=ddle. We fought and I wanted to get this moment to say sorry.

“Sorry,” I whispered in a sweet voice. He just kissed my forehead which made me smile.

“No harm caused.”

The hours had passed, and no one tried to speak up. We were just looking at the ceiling. My mind had no content, the person that I was supposed to worry about was here beside me. My eyes were slowly closing due to heavy eyelids. I was about to sleep when he talked. He was thinking that I could not hear him.

“I’m sorry either. I assumed it was true.” He whispered as his arms held to my small body tightened even more.

I did not open my eyes. Why would he assume? Why? What is his plan? Will he turn his back on the royal family and be with me? I can’t do that either. Surely, he will never choose me over being an Alpha King of Water.

“Hali!”

That was the time, I opened my eyes. I could hear Zephyrus’ voice and the other kings. “Back off!” Hali answered them.

A tiny smile established on my lips.

“If you don’t open the door, I will kick your balls!” Zephyrus shouted from the outside.

“Hali.” Raiden knocked on the door with a gentleness lie a handsome supermodel, no force, no harshness.

I guess that Pyro was also outside, even if he did not say anything. He was aking with a mouth but barely used it. I could laugh on my own by thinking like that.

“Hali, open the door.” When Raiden talked again, Hali had nothing to do with it. He stood up and spun the doorknob. I observed that Raiden served as the one who balance them. When he spoke up, everyone should listen, or else they would be punished. His voice was not loud, but the authority was there. He was not old among them either, he was just the Alpha King of Lightning, which had caused bad weather when he was mad.

“What!” Hali raised a voice at them. I chuckled when Zephyrus hugged him so tight, hang on his shoulder, and kissed him over and over again on the cheek.

“I thought you are not breathing now!” Zephyrus faked his cry, even the way he wiped his face without tears. I was expecting Hali to be mad at him, but I was wrong. He hugged him back as if they were cuddling lovers. He rode his trip and laughed.

Pyro raised the corner of his lips as he watched Hali, when he found out that he was not dying, he leaned his shoulder beside the wall, near the door. Raiden looked at Hali so much, that even his elbow was checked. The agony was written in his perfect features.

“You, good?” Raiden asked him. “We escaped to the Elemental Kingdom for you.”

“So sweet.” Hali gave them a smirk.

“However, you have a problem, Balls.” Zephyrus went to the bed. He jumped which made it bounce and back. He played with it as I was there, laying. Hali grabbed me away from him.

“What?” Hali asked.

“Your mother reported you as wanted to King Oswald. They think you’re kidnapped and now, they are finding you in the whole Alpha King’s World.” Zephyrus laughed so hard.

“So be ready with a story lies.” Raiden had a nice-looking smirk when he sat on the couch.

“Damn it!” Hali sat beside Raiden. I did not know where I would locate myself. So, I just stood up there while biting my lips. Hali prohibited me to be next to Zephyrus.

“Tell them you are not captive by anyone. You just walk in the Human World.” Raiden suggested as he looked at me and waved his hand, saying “Hi” in a low tone.

I shyly raised my hand and said, “Hello” back to him. I had a big smile on my lips.

“Don’t smile at him, Fucker!” I thought Hali was talking to me, when I looked at him, he was pertaining to Raiden.

“Tsk.” Raiden just leaned his back, looking at the ceiling.

When my eyes landed on Pyro, he just formed a sweet small smile, which made my heart jump in happiness. I thought my admiration for him had blown away. Unfortunately, it was not yet.

“Get the hell out of my sight, if you all going to look at Zarya and smile!” The irritation was on Hali’s face.

“Buddy, you sound like a jealous boyfriend?” Froy chuckled as he did the fist bumped to the kings.

They talked about random things about what was now happening at the Elemental Kingdom. I gazed at my side when Colden held my arms. “Come. I stirred a coffee for you.”

I followed him to the kitchen. Colden’s mouth was sealed. It was obvious that he heard their teasing of them Hali and I, but he kept on silent. I opened my lips to say something to him. I ended up closing it when I found no right words to say.

“Wanna say something?”Colden’s eyes settled in me when he offered me a coffee.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Sorry.” I looked down when I held the cup. I was shocked when I felt the heat, it burned my hands that sting sensation hurt me. The reason why the cup landed on the floor and broke. “Ouch.”

I was about to get it when Colden held my hand. “Nope. you’ll be hurt.” He bent down his body and he was the one who fixed it.

“Zarya, what happened? Are you okay?” Hali was at the entrance of the kitchen. He was about to come near me to look at me if I was injured when Colden suddenly stood up. He glanced at Hali and spoke up. “If you can’t cherish her… don’t make her feel special.”

King Water gulped his saliva and glued his eyes to Colden. Hali had a fire in his eyes when Colden had a normal look.

I cleared my throat as I watched them. There was a tension that started to build between them.

After a long pause and battle of the eyes, Hali spoke up. “Colden never stands brave for himself. You should appreciate it.” He turned his back on us.

I don’t understand and it would be unclear when Colden did not walk near me and kissed my hand. “You said you’ll not give up on us? You are working with it, aren’t you?”

I swallowed plenty of salivae.

What did I do? Did I give Colden a false hope? I could not pull it back.
