TAME THE UNTAMABLE
ZARYA'S POV
Thank you so much, World! I am alive. However, I did not know what exactly happened. How do my wounds heal faster? How am I located at Hali's Chamber? I knew I was dying that time. Fortunately, I could still breathe now.
Colden invited me for a walk in the woods. I was so grateful to him for all that he had done for me. Possibly, he was the one who saved me.
"Apology for my brother's attitude." He seemed awkward. He could not look at me.
"I used to that. He's the Mad King."
"Hmm-hmm. Try to understand. Hali's life is not what you think."
I was curious about that, but I never asked. I was not in the place to question it. My People-to-kill note would never be changed. Hali was listed in there.
"Can you teach me instead? Hali's training is bloody. I can't take it anymore." I stepped one, looking at the leaves that fell from the trees.
"To be honest, I'm not taking the training seriously. I'm not capable of hurting others. What I did to Hali was a mistake." I could see the guiltiness in his eyes. Perhaps he was the kind of man who did not like cruelty, not like Hali. "Should I say sorry for what I did?"
I stopped stepping. Was is he serious? Hali deserved that punch or more I guess. I almost died in the Dungeon. He did not bother to look up on me. There was no agreement that I would die under his protection.
"He's so mean to me, King Ice. I didn't know how to deal with it. What you did is what he deserved." I was mean to Hali, too. Good thing, he was not the kind of king who would send me to Court Room to be punished by slashes. I heard other ladies, specifically, omegas when they accidentally disrespect the Higher King Oswald, they automatically brought to the Court Room and got whipped.
"Hali's not the same anymore. When he was a Prince, every girl come to him… he punished it. She heaters women most of the time."
"Why?"
We both stopped in the woods. We sat on the big brown branch of the trees, laying on the ground. The topis was all about Hali. This was usable. By this, I could know what was his weakness.
"How can a woman make him happy?"
Colden stared at me for so long before he talked. "A strong care is enough for some men, but to Hali… he loves making love. Pardon me, but that was him."
"Ahh!" I moved my head up and down. "Therefore he loves Kastrid?"
"Kastrid is his whore. He can't live without her."
Can't live without her? So I needed to beat that Kastrid for me to be able to get a favor on Hali. Then, how? I grabbed the cellphone from my pocket. Since I went to Dungeon, I kept this so people would not see this. I looked at the signal bar to the upper part.
"It's not working here." Colden gazed at my cellphone. "Who gives that to you?"
"Khal." I tightened the grip on the cellphone. Could I say, I missed him?
"Khal?"
"You don't know him?"
"Hali's friend?"
"Yeah, he is."
"He's a good man."
That was how the conversation occurred for both of us. In an instant, I wondered why Hali had an internet connection on his monitor?
"Wait up? Why does Hali have an internet connection on his monitor?"
"I have no idea. I just know there's no signal here. However, you can do everything when you have power."
"Power…" I whispered. Can that power be stolen? Or if not, can I be powerful like them? Whichever among those, I would study every single detail that I might use.
After the walk with King Ice, I went to the washing area to do my job as an omega. They were giving me food and shelter. I was not here just to be a bystander. There were plenty of clothes that I would be cleaning. These were the warrior suits of the guards. I was with some omegas who I did not know. Actually, I was ignoring other people. I stopped being friendly, so I would be away getting hurt and worried about them. Fewer people I knew, fewer people I worried about.
"Zarya, can you help me?" Amelia peeked at me. She was standing at the door while I could only see her face.
"Sure thing." I stood up and walked towards her. I wiped my wet hands on my skirt.
"Sorry for the disturbance. King Water doesn't want my egg pie. Can you make two?"
"Sure, but… can I not go in his chamber?"
"Yeah, I'll bring it to him."
I went to the kitchen with Amelia. I found a mother through her. She was so easy to be closed with. She helped me with everything that I needed to know in the kitchen even the way how things worked.
"When do you plan to stay here?"
In the middle of me Pouring the cold water as I mixed the ingredients she asked that made me freeze. I honestly did not know what to do after I fulfill my revenge on the people who hurt me and my family.
Should I stay here? Serving the kings?
"You haven't a plan, have you?" She helped me sprinkle the flour on the clean flat surface. She fattened the dough with the use of a rolling pin.
"I honestly have no idea what to do next. Maybe go again to the Human World and start a new life? Find a husband and so be it."
"Didn't you want to stay here?"
I looked at my front. If I would going to kill the Alpha King of Water, there would be no place for me here. Maybe I would cross the bridge when I was there. For now, I was thinking of the present.
I flattened the dough with the rolling pin. This should be wide that would spread nine-inch with a circular shape baking pan. Little by little, I learned how to do it. My only problem was the taste. It was not good as Amelia. However, I had no knowledge why Hali liked mine, not her.
When I was done cooking, I was in the kitchen, cleaning it all over the place. After a few seconds, Amelia came back with an egg pie in her hands.
"Apology, Zarya. He wants you there. He didn't let me in."
I grip my skirt and tighten my hold on it. This would never be a good sign. I held the egg pie. My heart drummed with nervousness. I was startled when Amelia touched my cheek.
"Don't be stubborn. Get his heart and you'll be in favor. Trust me."
"How? I hate him so much."
"Be a good follower, make him look into your eyes while he's inside you. You should be used to it, He's been doing that to you since you came here." She blew a sigh of frustration. "Among those kings, King Water is one of the tough." She gazed directly into my eyes as if she was telling those words straight into my soul. "Tame the untamable."
