Alpha King of Fire

YOU REGRET IT

FIRA’S POV

When the darkness of the night filled the whole place, everyone took a rest. They did not give food or water to me, making my stomach growl.

Do they have a plan to kill me? They should do that immediately. If I move, they are all dead.

I shut my eyes to start sleeping. My mind was content only with Pyro and Ember. I could not wait to see them.

“Fira?”

I suddenly opened my eyes to see who she was. I viewed the old woman, Carter’s mother.

“Eat this.” She put a boiled cassava in my mouth. She placed a cup of water in front. I moved faster as I could feel the weakening of my body.

“Thank you so much.”

“I’m sorry for my son’s wrongdoing.” The sadness was written in her emotion. For a mother to see his son like that was torture to the heart therefore I understand her.

“Don’t say sorry for the mistake you didn’t do.”

She wiped the dirt in my face. “Why is he treating you like that?”

“I really don’t know.”

“I should raise him well. I’m so sorry.” She almost sob with her heart out. I could see my mother in my head. She was the best mother ever.

“It’s not your fault, Madame. Even if you’re the kindest mother in the world, if your son chooses to be bad, it’s his fault because he has his own brain.” I paused and held her hand in a gentle way. “He has freedom. Whatever he picks, that’s what he becomes.”

“You’re matured.” She gave me a friendly smile. She slowly held my cheek and whispered. “I’m praying for your freedom.”

“Thank you. Don’t worry, I can deal with this. My lover is looking for me.”

“He must be anxious? What’s his name so I can tell him you’re here?”

“He is?” I grasped for air and exhaled it harshly. “The Alpha King of Fire.”

Her mouth barely opened. She lowered her head at me. “God, Your Majesty!”

I grasped her hand with my emotional eyes. “We have a four year old daughter. She’s waiting for me. Please go to the Elemental Kingdom and say this to King Fire.”

“I will. Tomorrow morning when I went down the mountain.”

The door burst opened that made us both in shock. Carter marched towards us. He bent down to pull her mother’s hair and the next happened? he buried his sword in her belly.

“If you reach the morning, Filthy Old Woman.” He whispered in her ear.

My body froze. How can a son bury his sword in her mother’s belly? He has no heart.

I moved up to save the old woman, but he pressed the sword more, causing it to exit in her back part. I raised my hand to reach her, but the rope tying my feet and waist was short. I could not outstretch. In the end, I had nothing to do, except watching Carter kill his own mother.

“Say goodbye to your son.” I could see the different emotions in his eyes. However, that was not enough to soften his heart.

“You’re a beast! How can you do that!” There was nothing I could do, except crying with my heart out. “I am?” I burst out my sob loudly, “longing for my mother but you?” I massaged my chest as the pain was severe. “You can touch your mother. You can say what you want and she can hear. You can hug her as long as you like. Why can you be so heartless? It’s your mother!”

She threw the poor old woman to the side as if he did not care at all. He moved closer to me and yanked my hair. “Yes, she’s my mother and at the same time, the reason why I lived my life hell!”

“You can’t revive the life of her. You only have one mother.”

“Do you think I care? You didn’t know everything.” He beat my belly using a punch. I moved my body back as I twisted it in pain. I gritted my teeth as I was looking up at him.

“She is the worst person ever. Do you want to know why?” He sat beside me, leaning his back at the wooden wall while gazing at her mother. “She sell me to become a slave whe I was five years old. The world od slvery was cruel. Luckily, there was a beta family who adopted me.” The smirk on his lips grew. “She doesn’t deserve to be slashed by the sword. She deserved severe torture.”

“You don’t卐ven ask her why.” Even though I had difficulties in speaking due to my stomach pain. I managed to speak.

“Is having a sick father the right reason? He’s dying anyway. Why would he need to be treated?”

Now, I can understand.

I stared at the mother. His eyes were slowly closing. I could feel the pain in my heart with the scene in front of me. Until he has no pulse at all.

She died and his murderer was his won son.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Nobody deserves to die.” I whispered as the darkness was consuming my vision. My belly was hurting so much.

Pyro?

Sometimes, a mother makes a decision that will break her heart. She has a purpose. Choosing one person in between people you love is like killing yourself. The grief of a mother for losing her son will never be healed.

Surely, she thought of him the entire time he was gone.

I wanted to say those words to him, but I had no energy. My body was too weak to even open my mouth. I blinked two times as I was fighting the dark. I was afraid that Carter might take the opportunity to do his desire for my body. The smell of the cattle’s poop was not that stinky.

When I closed my eyes, I heard footsteps going away from me. I forced myself to open my eyes. Only to see that Carter was holding the body of his mother. He was crying with his heart ripping.

See? You regret it.
