THE CUDDLE
HALI'S POV
"I told you! Putting her at the Dungeon would never be a great idea!" Raiden was shouting at me when he knew what happened to Zarya.
"Do you like her? You're so mad as if you're her lover." I sat on my swivel chair comfortably.
"Of course, I like her!"
My eyes went to. I examined the spark in his eyes. The gritting of his teeth was there. His perfectly handsome feature was livid for me.
"I will always like her because she's the daughter of the great beta! Her father saved us plenty of times! Gamble his life for us to live! Seeing her like this is pushing me to kill you!" He went closer to me. The lightning traced on the sky. The truth was, Raiden was not just having a pretty man looks, he was also the strongest among all the elements. When he was mad, the lightning would show in the sky even though the weather was beautiful.
"Treat her wounds and give everything she needs when she wakes up! Don't treat her like your whore or else I will get her and assign her to my protection!" He kicked my favorite speaker before he left the room.
Zephyrus stood up. This time, no joke could be seen in his expression. "Same. I'll get her if you don't treat her right." He turned his back at me for the first time.
Pyro just gazed directly into my eyes even though his face had no emotion. The angriness was radiating from him. He marched away from my chamber without saying anything. If he spoke up, my chamber would be burned with his fire.
Colden was left. He was sitting beside Zarya, settling his eyes to her. Why the hell do my brothers like that woman! I just did what was right! That was her training and surely, she learned something from the Dungeon. I would never regret sending her there but…
"Zarya is on the fight. She's in critical." My trusted guard, Leo.
When I heard the news. I rushed towards the Dungeon. I was too late when I came, she was unconscious, laying on the ground with no heartbeat, bathing with his own blood, with her eyes closed.
"Zarya!" I shook her shoulder over and over again, but she was not responding. I held her hand tightly. I heard that she had a beat pumping of the heart. She was not yet dead. I shook my head and blew a loud sigh. I must decide.
I never felt fear since I was trained to be the Alpha King of Water, but this time, I felt the dread covering my chest. It was like my life would never be the same again if this Poor Little Thing got killed.
I shook my head and shut my eyes. I gripped her hand tightly and spelled out. "Heal." She brightened as the wounds were slowly healing. That was my last heal for the entire month if I needed to heal someone or myself, that would not affect it. Even if the Alpha Kings were powerful, we also had weaknesses and that was one. I had no power for the entire month even my wolf would not show. I only had three healing power. One, I used it when my father whipped me when I teased him. Second, I used that again when he slashed me for going to the Human World. Third, for Zarya.
The problem was, we would have an Alpha Training for the third day from now. I would be punished again for not having my wolf or worse, they would curse me as false alpha king. It was prohibited to say to people the weaknesses of the alpha kings. Our world was always complicated, surrounded by the rules of the Elemental Kingdom. This would be trouble.
I gazed away from the view of Zarya. I could not understand why I was having pity on her. That was just training. It would be normal to give her difficulties. It was usual that she would encounter the middle of life and death.
I and Colden's eyes met. He was not talking to me since Zarya was brought to my chamber.
"I'm mad at you." Colden finally talked. Among all of them, Colden was the one who could not shout. He was prohibiting himself to shout or be mad. His monster was so wild and bad. He could not control when it showed up.
"Because of Zarya, too?" I seemed no care at all.
"Her father一"
"Her father again! All of you like her because of her father! Zarya is different from him! She must face training or else she will not fight even if for herself!"
"Everyone came from weak. You must not let her face the training that she's not ready for."
My eyes went to his hand. He touched Zarya's hand as if he cared for her… a lot. I thought it was not because of her father? I guessed he likes her for being a woman.
Damn it! Not all freaking guess is right! Why would I think as gross like that! She does not even pretty in my eyes… some angle, possibly.
"If you really want to help her. Train her well. She may be strong as her father, but she's soft as her mother, too." Colden grabbed raised her hand and placed it on his cheek.
"What are you doing?" I could not hold back. I stood up and came near him. I removed Zarya's hand from him.
"She's warm." Colden's voice was just chill as always.
"Warm?" I touched Zarya's forehead. "F*cker! Why did you not tell me! She has a fever!"
Colden grabbed her hand for the second time. "Which was why, I am giving her cold."
"Get away! I can take care of her!" I removed him once more. "Get out!"
"Don't want."
I caught myself dragging him away from the bed. He held the feet of the bed and encircled his arms to it. He was like a kid who did not to be separated from his favorite place.
"Get the f*ck up!"
"I don't want." He tightened his grip on the feet of the bed, causing it to move and shake the bed. I was not aware that we were dragging the bed away from its location until Zarya woke up. When I glanced at her, she was looking at us both.
"What's happening?" She asked. Her eyebrows were moved up.
Colden suddenly climbed on the bed. He had a huge smile on his lips. "I bring your food. You must be very hungry."
The annoyance was written in my expression. Since when did the f*ck he cares for a woman? Damn this irritation I felt. I shook my head as I went back to my swivel chair. The acne of Colden cherishing Zarya, giving her food was making my day ruined.
Damn that Poor Little Thing. I saved her freaking life and I did not get even a short 'Thank you.' Well, I did not care. I had no plan to tell her. Let her die with her madness to me. May she has a heart attack because of me.
When I and Zarya's eyes touched each other. She was so mad at me, she even rolled her eyeballs as if it would going to burst out from her eyes socket.
"Want more? I'll ask the omegas to bring you. Wait up!" Colden rushed towards the door, he shouted to them to bring him more soup.
"You!"
I ignored Zarya's shout at me. "You are an asshole! It's not written in the agreement that you will send me to the Dungeon!"
"So? I don't care."
I grabbed my headphone and placed them into my ears, but I did not open the music therefore I could hear her deadly wish for me.
"I hope your cock does not produce an heir, Assshole!"
All of my blood went to my face and boiled it with over madness to this woman. I hurried towards her. She threw me the pillow and I did the same thing. My healing power was good than the medicine, she could now curse at me and even hit me with the pillow! How dare she!
I was about to hit her again with the pillow when she screamed out loud. "Ahhh! Help me! Help! King Water is killing me!"
"Hali!" Colden's punch landed on my face. What the hell! "Not my freaking face!" Colden was a Coward King. He could not beat anyone even me. This was the first time, he touched my face with a punch and that was because of Zarya, meaning he liked her so much.
Zarya ran towards his back. She had a smirk on her lips. That evil bitch! I swear I will f*ck her so hard when I got a chance!
"Are you out of your mind, Hali?" Colden was now mad at me, but the tone of his voice was still full of kindness.
"She was the one who hit me with一"
"She'll not do that. She came from almost dying. I treated her fever just now. She can't do what you're saying." Colden held her elbow, dragging her gently out of my room.
"Thank you so much, my savior." I could hear Zarya's cuddle to him.
That bitch!
