DO NOT TRUST THE ALPHA KINGS
ZARYA'S POV
The drop of tears rolled on my cheek when Kastrid's body shook as she had lacked breath. We were not friends or enemies. We just met each other, know each other's name, but she was a friend that I have never had.
"Hali must be devastated." Colden's voice was down, carrying the grief. During my stay with him, I learned about his personality. He could not say 'no' to a people. He was so kind, so my mind changed. I would never include him in my revenge at Hali.
"Yeah." His whore died, which means I would take all the responsibilities in the bed. I should be ready for this night. Hali was not in good mood. His escape in all the chaos was fucking.
The rain slowly dropped on our heads. The crowd was gradually disappearing as if nothing happened. As if someone's death was nothing to them.
Is this the reason why the father chose to live in the Human World rather than staying in this kingdom?
The rain began to be a disaster for those people who wanted to stay. Kastrid's body was hanging on the branch of a tree. It was hard for me to see it. I thought her life would be long since she was a fighter from the start, not a physical fighter, but a heart fighter despite her experiences.
My head moved to my right side. Hali was not far from us. He was standing in rain, just looking at Kadstrid. His face had not shown any emotion.
Does he in love with her?
His eyes were no expression, but in the depths of his heart, there was something he did not tell. I knew that look. When you could not do anything, but stare. Life was already gone. It would not be revived unless his power could make her heart alive again.
"Bring her down." King Fire command to Seryo, his trusted guard. "Drag her to my chamber."
My system filled with confusion as I absorbed what was King Fire word's definition. Does he have reviving power? What will they do to her body?
Seryo was about to do his command when Hali spoke. "Don't." He turned his back at him. "It doesn't matter. She fought throughout her life." He paused talking and continued. "Let Kastrid rest in peace."
I watched him walking away from the saddest view. I felt what he felt. I but my lips as I thought of accompanying him. I refused myself thousand times, but I caught myself following him at his chamber. I stopped walking when I heard Colden.
"Don't go there. He might hurt you. Let him breathe easily."
"He needs someone." I was not pretending. It came naturally. Kastrid was not her family. However, King Water's heart was in her. It was difficult to accept the fact that you only watched your loved ones murdered.
"Go in my chamber instead."
My eyebrows moved up. "Pardon, Your Majesty?"
"Can I say that's my order?" He gave me a small kind smile that made every people trust him. A smile was written on my face. He gestured to follow me on the way to his chamber.
My body froze as I saw what was it looked like. It was full of paintings. "Sorry."
"Sorry for what?"
"Sorry for bringing you in my chamber instead of Hali." He did a cute peace sign on his finger that made me chuckle.
"No, that's fine, King Ice." I looked up, my eyes were moving around, examining the area. "It's so wonderful. Did you paint all of that?"
"Yup."
My eyes settled on the werewolf with a house burning on his dorsal. I was in shock therefore I looked at him while having a question mark on my expression. That was the painting I saw in the Human World. The one that made me collapse. I wondered if Hali knew about this.
"I joined exhibit at times." He placed his forefinger on his lips. "I didn't tell anyone."
"Really? You are amazing." I walked slowly as I observed different paintings which symbolizes how great he was. "Wh you don't decorate this to the hall of the kingdom?"
"Father doesn't want to." He guided me all over the place. Colden had a big chamber than all of them.
"Why? This is so wonderful. It should be a place where people can see." My feet stopped on the woman who really looked like me? What the? My bulged eyes stared at him. He just scratched his nose as he looked away.
"When things are beautiful, I mark it to mind and draw." The shyness was written on his expression and I found it cute.
"I am not a thing." I teased him as I saw how he blushed. That was true. Pyro's words were not an accusation. I thought Colden had a crush on me.
"Yeah and yet you are gorgeous." I walked forward again. There was a light covering my chest. It was amazing, relaxing, and chilling. His paintings were like a creation of a professional. "Why your father doesn't want it?"
"I don't want to hold archer, swords, and other killing tools. I just want to paint therefore he's against it." He walked towards the painting of a woman. "This is Eira."
"Who's Eira?" I gazed at the woman who had a feature of Pyro's woman. The name that started with F. I could not remember what Hali said. The painting was not totally the same looks at her. There were just similarities, so I guess they were a different person.
"My omega. You gotta meet her. She's sad when her mother died… To make her happy, I painted her." He smiled widely as if the memories of that made him elated.
"You're so kind."
He shook his head from left to right. "No. That's why I can't stay with you at the Hide Out House." He turned his back at me with the sound of his sigh. "You'll know when you see."
"Every people have hidden secrets. No worry about what do you hide." I started to walk again to look at his paintings. "You are still amazing for me."
"Thanks."
My feet stopped to the paint which represented the night my family died. The same view as to how I saw it in the Human World. "Why did you paint this?"
"Honestly." He grabbed it from the stand and offered it to me. "I created this for you. So you will remember how they killed your family. I never wanted you to be sad, but to put strength on your heart." He grabbed my hand and placed the painting. "Somebody said… for you to be able to learn how to be strong. You must remember the saddest part of your life. By that, you have the courage to face the struggles that are yet to arrive."
"Who said that?"
"Hali."
"You fooled by him, but I'll get this." I accepted the painting. "Thank you."
"I was about to sell that at the exhibit, but I changed my mind. It belonged to you. You must keep it and…" He walked towards another painting. I could only see its back.
I had teary eyes when he showed me what was all about. It was my family. The bigger version of the picture that had been burned in our house. For where did he get that? I did not mind. At least I had a family picture.
I ran faster. I could not hold back. I hugged him so tight. "Thank you, King Ice! It means so much to me."
In the middle of the hug. The door had creaked loud. I immediately moved away as the omega in omega uniform bowed to Colden. "I brought your food, King Ice."
"Oh, Zarya. She's Eira." Colden talked excitedly.
I gazed at her, examining her features, the way she stare at me had no show of irritation. I thought this woman was brave. The way she stood was like a… warrior.
"Hi, Eira." I waved my hand at her. She gave me a big smile before she passed and placed the food on the table.
"You are King Water's omega?" She asked me. I could not understand why there was a worry in her eyes.
"I have my leave temporarily. Feel free at my chamber." Colden established a huge smile for the both of us before he left.
I was in shock when Eira grabbed my arm and whispered. "You should be careful with all of them. Don't be amazed by Colden's kindness. They have monsters living inside them."
I froze. It was a warning from her. "What do you mean?"
"Do not trust the Alpha Kings."
