THE CHILDREN OF THE GREAT BETA
ZARYA'S POV
I was about to put down the dried woods when someone bumped into mine. All of the woods I gathered were broken, spreading on the soil.
"Use your eyes, Son of a bitch."
Both ears panted as I heard the arrogant voice of the unknown. I upraised my body as the madness and eagerness for whoever called me that way spread around my body. I never hesitate to face him.
"You call me, what?"
He glared at me as the ruthless and the most arrogant man I had met for today. "Son. Of. A. Bitch." He emphasized word by word. It made my blood boil in full annoyance.
I felt like I met Hali, The Mad King 2. 0 version. He was so arrogant! I wanted to open his mouth and rip his lips. If only I could.
I froze when I recognized the way I thought had changed since I met Hali. Before, I never wish for anyone's death in my hands, but Hali taught me how to be heartless, in any small detail like this. Somehow, I imitated his attitude.
Even though I was so small, I came near him and face to face him. The depths of his eyes were telling me that it surprised him, shocked him that a woman like me could stand up, even though my height was not high.
"Fearless son of a bitch." An annoying smirk drew on his irritable lips.
I gave back the teasing smirk. "You look like a brat high born bastard."
That made his jaw giggle in rage. "You wish you disappear. Watch your life from now on." He turned away from me. He managed his temper.
Who is he? He is like the son of some high-born royal. His back was broad as he moved far from me. When he came to the tent, his eyes were thrown to me, threatening, the warning was on the spark of it.
"What the hell, Z?" Matilda grabbed my arm. She pulled me to the back of the tree.
"Z?" I repeated as my expression filled with wonder.
"Short for Zarya." She chuckled shortly before she became serious. "Don't you know that man?"
"Who?" I asked her even if I knew who she was pertaining to.
"The man who gives you a threat! Goddamn it!"
"I'm not into him. I don't care who he is." I could see myself as Hali. Actually, he had a huge influence on my personality, and the way I talked, acted and looked. It was all because of the training.
"He is the son of the wealthiest nobleman, Victor. He is the Lord of Overkill! His name is Venom!"
My eyeballs moved to the left as my face was just in a straight direction. "Then?"
"Oh, great? He can kill you while you're sleeping!" Matilda's fade filled with worry.
I don't know, but I felt nothing. I was numb. So what if he murdered me? My only concern was my brother. However, I dreamt of having the title of Great Beta, which was why if he attacked me, I would fight at any cost. In this battle, we are all equal, no low born or high born. That was what Seo Blood Drop told us.
"Oh, come on! You should at least have a little interest in him. He will not down his knee for you. You will knee down instead." Matilda seemed so sure of her statement.
"Ouch! What's the matter, Bro?"
I immediately walked out from behind the tree when I heard Khal. That bastard was wishing to mess up with me. My feet were stuck on the soil when I saw the blood on Khal's feet. The big rock was near it. I concluded that the Lord of Overkill swopped the rock on his feet with intention.
I walked calmly, although my fist was itching to punch the man. "You, fine?" I sat down on the soil as I looked at Khal's feet. Khal was gazing at him. His eyes were telling all the emotion, Venom fell the rock on his feet according to his plan.
I stayed relaxed when I faced Venom. He chinned up and smiled at me. "I slip… unintentionally."
"Careful… Venom. Maybe next time, you have no hands to hold things." The grin ear by ear was established on my lips. I circled my arms on my brother's waist, supporting him to go to the tent.
"What's the event?" Seo Blood Drop gazed at me and then at Venom.
"I accidentally fall the rock on Khal's feet." He said that with a boastful attitude, the tone was proud.
"I don't tolerate chaos. It's too early to fight." Seo Blood Drop settled his eyes at me. "Does he really accidentally unhand the rock?"
I shrugged my shoulder. "I didn't see, Master."
His gaze went to Venom. "I will pass this. The other time, won't… Whoever is involved in a fight without my order… will face electric shock." Seo Blood Drop left us hanging.
Electric shock? That was my hatest punishment ever. It would burn every little meat in my body. So Venom does, and so everyone does.
"It was not an accident." When we entered the tent, Khal suddenly spelled out.
"I believe you," I answered as I put the herbal medicine on his bloody wound.
"Ouch." He winced when I placed a little pressure.
"You shouldn't be here. You have no knowledge of fighting. How can you battle?" My expression became emotional. The stinging sensation filled my chest. "I loathe seeing my loved ones die in front of me without me doing anything. Do you want that to happen again?"
"I can fight." Khal was stubborn, just like my Zaiden. "I wanna be with you. We are siblings… wherever you are, I will be there."
I bit my lips as I sniffed, looking at his wound was heartbreaking. What more if I saw him crawling with his bloody body? Just like what family experienced.
"No worries, okay?" Khal cupped my cheek and kissed me on my forehead. "We can do this together."
"Not all the time we're together. How can I fight for you? I am fear to lose you." I hugged him so tight. "We are only two in the family."
He embraced me back. "We can create a new generation with our future husband and wife… Trust me, we can make this… We are the children of the Great Beta, Zakan Wixx."
