AN ASSHOLE
HALI'S POV
"The cock is smiling." Zephyrus walked closer to me. This bastard had so bored in his life that was why in this early morning he was teasing me.
I handed my cup and gulped the tea. I thought it was just Zephyrus. Raiden, Pyro, and Colden were here at the veranda, going me to witness the moving up of the sun. The coldness of the wind was overwhelming and relaxing my system.
"The morning star, Venus." Raiden looked up at it, his left hand was inside his pocket while the right hand was holding a cup of tea.
I gazed at Pyro. My blood was boiling for him. He was too hot even if he was doing nothing. He was not drinking tea, hot chocolate instead.
"Tell us, Hali." Zephyrus talked in the middle of the hush.
"Tell you, what?" My two eyebrows moved up. My arms were folded to my center body.
"Where did you find Zarya?" Colden asked.
"Oh? I'm not informed that Poor Little Thing is the content of the conversation. Why do you care?" I looked at them one by one.
"We care because the Black Wolves Pack hunting her. If they knew she was here, they could attack the kingdom." Raiden was the ultimate provider of the information. He was so smart. Second father's favorite son.
"They will rape the women." Zephyrus continued his speech.
"Kill all of us." Colden talked as if I did not know that.
Our eyes went to Pyro. He just shrugged and said nothing. I wondered sometimes if he had a mouth or a tongue? It was useless.
"Then? That pack is just small. They'll not win the battle if they start." I was contently sipping my tea. I could feel the hotness of it crawling down to my throat.
"They might…" Raiden sat beside me. "If they attack the Fire, Water, Lightning, Wind and Ice Pack. They are smart… Definitely, they'll begin to attack small packs over the head."
"My sweet honey brothers, don't worry too much. We own the elements." Zephyrus scratched his crotch, which made me smirk.
"Your cock is itching. No whore?" As usual, teasing each other was a daily routine.
"Nope. I just didn't shave." Zephyrus laughed out loud.
"Nonsense conversation. I'll take my leave." Pyro was about to stand up when Colden pulled him down again.
"Please stay, Pyro. It's nice to be with our brothers this morning, isn't it?" Colden was smiling at him with a touch of kindness on his face. Colden was the kindest among us. Unfortunately, his monster was sometimes uncooperative. That was the time, he could do wrong.
"Why are you all interested in Zarya?" Their eyes settled to me.
Raiden shook his head. Colden just stared. Pyro had no care at all. Zephyrus was whistling.
"Hali's new whore." Zephyrus whispered. Raiden's ear panted as he heard that.
"Can you stop playing with women?" My sense of hearing as the sermon of Raiden was echoing around. "Aren't have pity on her? She's just young to be possessed by you."
"Fine, fine, fine, my brofa."
"Brofa?" Raiden's curiosity about my invented word was funny. The sound of my chuckle pains their ears.
"Brother Father. You used to give us lessons about respecting women. Stop f*cking them… playing around. Trust me, Zarya will enjoy it someday." I gulped all the content of my cup and then left them.
"Let's talk again later!" I waved my hand with my back on them.
I blew a sigh of frustration as I was marched in the corridor. I moved away from therm because I saw my mother's eyes sharpening at a distance.
"Pardon, Your Majesty." The guard blocked my way. He bowed his head to me. "Queen Haliana is summoning you, Your Majesty."
I rolled my eyes as I ignored his presence. I turned my back and traveled towards her chamber. When would she go home? She was pestering my life. It was at peace when she was gone.
The first thing that landed on my face was a slap on my cheek. "Thanks for the greet, Mother." My voice was full of sarcasm.
"What did you do to the assassin!"
"Assassin?" I acted as if I did not know what she was talking about. Her blue eyes as the same as mine were now burning in madness.
"Did you kill them?"
"What? Why would I kill your assassin?"
She stepped closer to mine. Her face was super near to me. When I looked at her features, I could see myself. I inherited her blue eyes like an ocean, nose, and even lips. The difference was, I am a man. A cold handsome man.
"If I investigate…" She gritted her teeth. "And your name is involved. You'll get your punishment."
"I'll happily accept it." I gave her a small grin.
"Bastard!" She went away while the sound of her footsteps due to heels could be heard.
I walked out of her chamber in a bad mood. I directly walked towards my chamber, plugged in the headphone in my ear, and played a piece of rock music. I ignored the presence of Zarya. Surely, she would force a training again today. I could do a practice when I was in this mood. I would only own her if she kept insisting.
My mother was so mad at me even when I was a child. There were rumors that she did not want another man in her life except for a peasant. She loved him so much even though their ranks were so far. It was prohibited by the Water Pack to be in a relationship with a peasant, when they knew, they immediately tortured the man, and eventually, he died. Queen Haliana was sent to the Elemental Kingdom for the planting of seeds; baby-making for the heir of the pack. She did not want King Oswald (King Oswald is my father, the Higher King of the Elemental Kingdom) The rumors said it was rape since the queen did not want it. That was me who formed from my mother's misery. Maybe that was also the reason why she hated me so much.
"Bread and coffee?"
My thinking was stopped replaying when Zarya put bread and coffee in front of me. This woman did not know the times when I had a bad time. She always appeared when my life was suffocating.
"Out," I ordered her. She did not listen, she smiled at me instead and say the words that I could not understand due to my focusing on the music. I plugged out the headset and looked at her. "Out or you'll go to the bed and give me your back!"
She stopped moving. She gazed at my eyes, blinking, examining my expression. Instead of saying something, she went to the bed, undressed, and give me her back.
I looked away. This Poor Little Thing had a more miserable life than me, but she kept fighting and never lost hope.
"You can shout when you're mad. You can cry if your heart is heavy. You can kick, punch and hit someone if you can't handle it anymore. You can do that… because you are a king."
"What do you know about being a king! It's just a freaking title. Nothing you can do about it when you die! Everybody will die! That's the last destination of everyone!"
I gritted my teeth as she walked in front of me, showing me her perfect curves, well-formed boobs, hot collar bone, pleasurely giving middle of the thighs, long black hair, and most of all attractive eyes.
"I hate your look to me." She emphasized the words. "I hate you seeing my whole body, f*cking me without my wants, touching me without my permission. I hate it all, but…" She bent her body down. Face to face with me. I could smell her sweet breath. "But look where I am now? Still doing this because of my family. They died and…" The tears in her eyes welled up. "And no matter what I do. I can't be with them anymore… They are gone. I left alone." She paused, sobbed, and then continued. "The thing that I can only do for them is to give them justice."
"Move away." I averted my gaze.
"Wondering why I am saying this?"
I never respond to her question. "Because you're my only hope even if you're an asshole. You should take off your headset, Asshole, and get up! No room for being bad mood! I need training now!"
I had no idea, but she made me smile. The annoyance that I was feeling was blown away. She easily converted my mood into something. Into a light sensation, I guess?
I moved up, held her waist, and threw her on the bed. She just rolled her eyes when I thrust inside her.
Why being inside her is addicting? I never felt this before. One more thing, she was calling me an asshole and I was unable to be mad.
