THE MONSTER OF THE ELEMENT WATER
ZARYA'S POV
I was cuddling with Hali in his office when suddenly Raiden peeked at the door and said, "The House Of Karl is under attack."
I immediately stood up. My eyes were widening.
"Khal and Matilda are in there."
It felt like my whole world stopped rotating. I was not belittling my brother's capability, but I was afraid.
"Hali… my brother." I almost whispered my lines.
Hali hurried, grabbing my hand, and then went out of the office.
"Brother, tell Seryo I'm summoning him. Bring hundreds of guards at the House Of Karl." Hali was fast-talking.
"Got it." Raiden took his left turn in the hallway to go to Seryo.
We headed to the House Of Karl as quickly as we could. Fortunately, it was not that far from us.
As my feet stomped on the boundaries, I kicked the face of the approaching man. In an instant, everywhere went chaos. I punched repeatedly and when I had a chance, I held my two knives from my thighs and cut the opponent's throats. I slashed the face of incoming, blood threw to me and then kicked him hard.
"Water." I heard King Water's voice.
In one blink of an eye, the area filled with tornado-like water. It was like a black hole that was pulling everyone into the center of it. I heard strong screams, loud cries, and groans. Hali's power was invincible. He was lucky that he could control the wolf in his monster. I did not see him lose against it. Unlike King Fire and King Ice, they were like different people when monsters took them. I once saw it, King Fire could not stop the blazing of flames as if he could burn everything.
"Zarya!" Hali ran towards me. He stretched his arms. My eyes widened in shock when his palm created a big wave of water, protecting me from the person who was about to attack from my back.
When the waves of water brought me to the soil, I remained startled. His power was unexpected. He had a lot to do beyond my imagination.
"I'm gonna murder every single one of you for threatening my woman!" Hali was so livid. When he said it seriously, he would do it. He had time for jokes and time for serious matters.
I watched him shift into a big brown wolf with brushy fur and a sharp fang. He attacked one by one, biting their heads and in one second heads were detached from its body.
I backed away as the surprise filled me. Hali was not like this in a battle.
Is that his monster?
Someone grabbed my shoulder. When I looked up, it was Khal. I embraced him so tight while feeling the drumming of my chest. I had a sigh of relief by seeing Khal safely.
My view slowed motion when I witnessed Matilda fighting and suddenly someone used its clue and hit her belly.
"Matilda!" The loudness of my shout covered the sound of the hitting swords and fighting people.
Khal moved his mouth open as we both watched Matilda from dropping into the soil. The blood dripped from her mouth.
"No!" I raised my hand to hurry to go to her when somebody buried his sword on her back.
"Fucker!" Hali held the neck of a man who stabbed Matilda. "Water." I was more than shocked when water filled his body, his skin stretched like a ball, and his body became elastic until he exploded. All of his organs, meat, and bone. All of those were ripped like a balloon burst.
"Matilda!" Hali held her back and laid her on his lap while I and Khal fought to arrive in their location. Enemies were blocking us, therefore we had no choice, but to kill them first before we had another step to progress.
Hali put his hand on her belly. "Heal! Heal! Fucking heal!"
After a few seconds, I and Khal reached them. "Matilda…" Khal's hand was shaking when he touched Matilda's cheek. Matilda coughed with blood dripping from her mouth.
"Heal!" Hali did everything, but it was not working. Their power no matter how strong it was, also had limitations.
"I, Hali Aiker, offering my wolf to-"
"No…" Matilda stretched her arms to touch Hali's shoulder. "Keep on healing… me. It's… working."
Hali touched her belly again and shouted. "Heal!"
If the Alpha King was wishing for a heavy healing or a massive power to save one's life. They should offer something to the wolf or to the monster to fulfill their wish. In Hali's case, he had nothing to offer, except his wolf form, but the wolf was very important as a king. It was one of the reasons why he became a king.
"Shit! You scared me." Hali said as he saw that the wound was healing.
We were relieved when she was completely healed. Khal hugged her so tight.
Meanwhile, the battle was slowly disappearing. I could see that House Of Karl was almost winning. I looked around to find Cleo, there he was, beheading the last man standing, panting, tired, and was about to drop when Deni Zin supported him. They were both exhausted, grabbing heavy air.
I gazed around, looking for possible threats. I found three men who were approaching. I raise my two knives. My eyes were sharpened with the fire on them. I was thirsty for blood. I was and even the grip on my knives was too tight.
Before they reached us, I ran as quickly as I could. I turned around and in a blink of an eye, they were slowly dropping to the ground as they were shaking. The blood was flowing from their wounds. There was one big man who was left standing. My height was too small for him therefore he was a challenge.
The big man smirked at me. He was quick when he attacked me. I dodged to the left side, but unfortunately, he was able to hit my belly, the reason why I landed on the soil. However, I did not let myself slump on the soil, so I flipped over to stand up. I prepared my two hands for the next step, I rolled the knives while observing him. His abs were visible, and the muscles on his biceps were huge and hard. I would never underestimate any enemy/ They had their own uniqueness that possibly surprise me.
"Great Beta…" He smiled widely. " I heard about how you slay the Battle Of The Next Betas. He gritted his teeth as he slowly showed me the long knife he had from his waist. "You killed my brother."
I chinned up as the confidence was in my system. I had no knowledge of who was his brother.
"You have his title."
I was in full shock when I realized he was pertaining to Venom. A grin was established on my lips. "Venom, The Lord Of Overkill." I glared at him with the blazing flames in the depths of my eyes. "He disobeyed the rules. He killed himself."
"A woman like you is a slut you only said nothing, but a shit!" He emphasized every syllable.
"I'm not a slut. Calling me that way is unforgivable." I held my knives tightly. In a snap of a hand, I was in front of him. I raised my right hand to bury it into his face, but I failed when he kicked me on my chest. My body threw away, landing on the rocks. I writhing in pain. My dorsal part had a stinging sensation as if I had broken bones.
"Come on." He yanked my hair to stand me up. "My brother party if he knew I'll fuck you harder."
He slammed me on the wall and ripped my back warrior suit. I was giggling in so much lividness.
"Fucker!" I heard Hali's voice at my back.
All of a sudden, the big man released his hands on me. I saw right in front of my eyes when Hali kicked his balls. He shouted in so much pain. "I want you to die… in the most painful way."
I tilted my head as I adjusted my body, sitting on the ground with my back leaning on the wall. I was panting in anger. Hali yanked his hair like what he did to me. The big man could not fight back due to his overstrength. Hali's eyes were telling everybody that no one could defeat him when his monster was out.
"Touching Zarya is one of the prohibitions." Hali moved his face to him, leaving a little distance. "She's mine. Whoever lay hands on her will be murdered."
"He killed my brother!" The big man seemed afraid of him. Probably he knew who he was.
"I don't fucking care!" Hali highlighted every word that came out of his mouth. "Run. I will give you ten seconds to do that." He tapped his shoulder. "Hide well."
When the big man did not move, Hali talked again. This time, the madness and hatred were in his tone. "Run!"
The big man shackingly ran. The fear was written on his face. Hali stood with his two feet level. He tilted his head as if he was measuring the angle. He moved his body down and grabbed my two knives.
"This fucker awaken my monster." Hali had an evil grin. I was scared by the way he looked. He was like not the Hali I met. His aura, his stand. His expression… all was showing the monstrous living inside him.
"Feel my anger, Cocksucker." Hali pointed the edge of the knife at the running big man. He examined its distance, speed, and landing of it. He played with his tongue, resting on the roof of his mouth. Then, he lost the knife. The first one is buried into the big man's upper back.
"Ahh! Please, please!" He pleaded with a scared emotion on his face.
"Please? Please is given to the people who have the ability to change. But you… even if you change… you still tried to fuck my woman." He showed the other knife. "In your next life, you learned your lesson."
Hali was cool when he bit his lips and released them. He raised the second knife and at the rate of speed of time, it landed on the big man's right eye.
"Ahh! Ouch! It hurts! It hurts!"
"Yeah, it hurts… a little pain." Hali marched towards him. "Say hi to your brother in hell."
My system was in shock when he grabbed the knife from his eye and stabbed him over and over again. The blood was streaming to where he was. I could not move or speak.
"No one's gonna lay a hand on her! No one's gonna lay a hand on her! No one's gonna lay a hand on her! She's mine! Mine! Mine!" He repeated those words while he buried a knife in him. Stab after stab.
I backed away as I tried to absorb what I was seeing. It was not Hali. No…
Is he the man I love?
