Alpha King of Fire

YOU’RE LUCKY

FIRA’S POV

I looked at the left and then to the right. I was going to escape to go to Janus. I need to meet him so that I can get the information I want.

Eira was sleeping peacefully when I left her. I should investigate on my own, if I only wait for my father to come back, no assurance.

I ran towards the woods when I saw that there were no guards. The shiver crawled all over my body as I stomped on the cold dark forest. I embraced myself and rubbed my shoulder as I walked straightly. It is like a horror place where some wolves, vampire or whatever suddenly showed up. I gasped for air when I walked to the dim. I could only hear the waves of air, swaying trees and the crack of the dried brown leaves.

My eyeball moved from the right to the left. I could hear the howling of werewolves and smoke from somewhere.

Crap! I should grab someone with me. It feels like I am in a suspense thriller movie!

I stepped forward, going my way for about six minutes, but it felt like forever. I tilted my head when I reached the other side of the forest where the house of Janus was located. I had no idea if he was alone or what.

The house looked empty and quiet. I raised my hand and was about to knock when I doubted. I composed my thoughts in my mind before I decided to hit the door.

“Janus? It’s me, Fira.” I struck the door three times and then it burst open. “Hi?” I waved my hand shyly.

His eyes were a bit widened. “Did you come here alone? It’s dangerous.”

“I’m okay. I am a werewolf, supposed to be strong.” I gave him a big grin ear by ear.

“Come in.” He offered the entrance of his house and let me sit on the wooden sofa. I looked around to find someone in his place, but no one. He was alone in this home with a fire lamp, a dark place and a few things.

“I’m living alone.” He said when he recognized that my eyes were surrounding to look for something.

“So…” He scratched his head. “Why did you come in this late night?”

I gasped for air, I did not notice that I was holding my breath. To be honest, this man could make my chest pound with a suffocating feeling, not because of sadness, but because of too much excitement.

“This is my only time. I have work in the morning and they didn’t let me go. Saza also didn’t allow me to bring the food to the mining area.”

He nodded, grabbed a fire lamp and put it on the center table. “Next time, you should tell me so I can go to you. It’s too dark. There may be wild animals in your way that can hurt you.”

I averted my look as I saw the concern in his eyes. I was blushing, for sure, I could feel the igniting feeling in my face.

Crap! I’m so beautiful to make him worry. I am worthy!

“Okay.” I was stuttering when I said that.

The silence filled the house. Imagine that I was alone here, and had an awkward feeling because I admired the man in front of me.

If I am going to the city, I will go there with him. I want a happy date with this guy if I am given a chance. But me and Pyro have a plan for freedom day. Maybe next month I will invite Janus.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

I was in the middle of my deep thoughts when Janus spoke.

“Are we going to the bottom of the mountain?” He scratched his forehead. “We can go now. They say there is a little house, probably your father is in there.”

“Yes, please. I have work for tomorrow so I can’t go to you, but if Saza orders me to go to the mining area for your breakfast, we can meet.”

He moved his head slightly in the direction of uprightness. “By the way, there is a Beta named Carter. He is selling the food again. I am just confused because you said that the kingdom brings food for free? I think this is a serious matter?”

I observed his face for a second. The conversation must be serious, but I only found myself blushing because he is so handsome in my eyes. His messy hair makes him more look like a goddess of a nice looking guy.

I cleared the block of my throat before I spoke. “I will talk to King Fire about that so he can give punishment to those people who are taking advantage.”

“King Fire? So you are assigned to him?” There was a spark of confusion in his eyes and I thought of jealousy, but I must be wrong. Not sure.

“Yes. We are close.” I stood up and looked down on him. “Let’s go. I need to go back before the guards see me.”

“Alright.”

We walked out of the house. Before going, he made sure that the house was locked and no one could invade his property. When it was okay, we stepped in the middle of the darkness.

We were walking in a hush. When some of the animals showed up suddenly, I jumped in shock. My heart was about to go out from my chest.

“You can hold me?” Janus offered his arms so I could feel secure.

Crap! This is so embarrassing!

My heart was pounding recklessly. If his ear was big and could hear its sound, it would make me small.

I shook my head. “No, thanks.”

Of course, I still had embarrassment in my body. In fact, that was a big opportunity for me to enjoy the moment and feel his skin in my skin, but I did not do, because I was still a woman with dignity. I wanted to touch and touch someone intimately when we were lovers. In our case, it is not that bad, but it would be awkward because we never know each other that much.

“Ahm.” I scratched my head. “Thank you for accompanying me.”

“Oh, sure. Anytime when you need it.” His voice was sweet and kind. I hoped one of these he is telling he likes me the way I like him.

“Ahm…” I cleared my throat. For the first time in my life, I did not feel like talking too much.

I am a woman with my blabby mouth. This time, I can not know myself by my silence. I am gentle for what I am supposed to say because he possibly turned off to me. He may not like me.

“You leave alone? Where… is your family?” Finally, I spell out those words after the excessive stuttering.

“I don’t know. I only live with my father and when he died, I was all alone. I have no idea where my mother is, if she is still alive or dead. My father doesn’t talk about that. Whenever I was asking, he kept silent.”

“That is so sad. Why not find her?”

“It doesn’t matter. I am used to being alone. I didn’t want to adjust when she came back. After all, she should have found me years ago if she really wanted to see me. No mother came. So…” He paused and looked straight in the way. “I mark in my mind that I have no mother.”

“Everyone has a mother.” I gave him a sparkling smile. “Whether you don’t want it or not. People will never live in this world without their mother giving birth to them.”

“You’re right. How ’bout you? How’s your mother to you?”

A big sad heart aching smile appeared on my lips. “She’s a kind and loving mother. I’ve never remembered that she shouted at me or hurt me. She was always sweet and gentle.”

“You’re lucky.”
