Chapter 63
FREEDOM DAY IV
FIRA’S POV
I read the depths of his eyes as he stared at me. I saw the mixture of emotions: love, admiration, adoration, lightness. Whatever it was on his face, I would not want to name it appropriately. I might be guessing the wrong expression.
I found any words that could be the response to his question. My lips moved open, but it did not say anything so I closed it, afraid of being invaded by the mosquito. I was about to answer his question when someone bumped on me. I was about to drop on the ground when Pyro held my waist. I was bending my body backward as Pyro was in front of me, supporting me.
We stared at each other’s faces for so long. I watched the opening and closing of his lips, wanting to say something, but did not try to spell out. He pulled me over, not removing his hands on me.
“Fira, what’s angel look like?” Out of nowhere, he asked me that question which I could not get.
“Beautiful, glowing, kind? Attractive, why are you asking?” I intertwined my hands as I peeped on his hand on my waist.
Did he have no plan of taking off his hand? I was so awkward. My heart was pumping up and down. I was scared that he might hear its loud sound.
“That’s what you look like, Fira, an angel.”
I could feel my face heat. Definitely my face was blushing again.
How could he do that? Making my face blush by just telling a simple word.
“Let’s ride a bus.” Pyro grabbed my hand and then ran. I was so happy as we both stepped faster.
When we went outside, Pyro tightened the hold on my hand. “The bus tonight is full so we’re going to stand while holding the steel railings. Tight your grip on me, okay?”
I nodded with my small eyes. We watched the people waiting on the sidewalk. They were wearing suit attire, Pyro said they were working from the office nearby. Some were teens came from the school.
A few minutes later, there was a bus stopped in front of us. “Jump,” He commanded, so I followed him. We raised our feet to get on the bus. He was right, there were so many people at this time.
We held the railings and stood, facing each other. “Can you look at your watch?”
I moved my head from up and down as the small eyes formed on my lips. “It’s 10 in the evening.”
“We only have three hours.”
“Five hours on freedom day is not enough.” I was looking up on him. My position was in front of him, I was facing his chest while holding the railings. I was so small for his height.
“We can extend, if you want?” A grin grew on his lips as our bodies shook due to the pressure of the bus.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“Maybe there’s a bump of what. Clench your hand carefully on the railings.” His body was balancing back and forth. The traveling was getting more and more uncomfortable as the bus stopped again, people went inside the bus and the place was crowded.
Someone pushed me so I pressed my face on Pyro’s chest. The embarrassment filled my whole system as I looked up and saw Pyro’s wide smile. When someone pushed me again, Pyro grabbed my waist and looked at them sharply.
“Didn’t you have a sense of touch? You are pushing someone here!” The annoyance could be seen in his eyes.
Since I witnessed how he became angry at that time when he held Janus’ arm with fire on him, I was afraid to see him again like that. As long as I could calm him down, I would do that.
I grabbed his one hand, causing him to look down at our hands. “I’m fine. My body is still complete so no worries, don’t shout, my king.” My voice was just soft, sweet and whispering.
His frown face suddenly became lightened. “Fine.” He gasped my hand compactly.
I said that I did not want Pyro to be angry, but the man was provoking him by giving a salute middle finger. Pyro’s expression darkened again.
Crap. This big man was starting a huge fight with Alpha King of Fire. If Pyro would threaten, good luck to this bus, it would burn.
He was about to talk, fought back the big man, but I did not let that happen. I held Pyro’s cheek, moved it from left into the front to make him face me. “You’re the coolest man I’ve ever met. I’m so excited about your surprise.” I showed him my super wide energetic wonderful smile.
I could see that his expression relaxed. “We are about to arrive.”
“I’ll never forget this day, looking forward to our next date.”
I finally won battling the monster in him. He gave me a precious smile that anyone would not get from him. From the start, he was accompanying his frown, cold expressions. I just wondered why I could convert his mad expression into a sweet one?
Am I special to him?
“South Playground!” The driver screamed as he informed the passengers about the location.
“Come, Fira.” Pyro immediately stepped forward the opening glass door.
I was hesitant to go in the middle of it because I might get caught in the middle of it. He offered his hand to me. “Don’t be scared, it’s okay.”
I gasped a deep inhale and then let out a harsh exhale before I ran out of the bus. Pyro caught my body. We both laughed so hard.
We walked a little to where he wanted to bring me. “This is a playground.” Pyro explained to me.
“Wow! Can we play?”
“Yup, Dearest.”
“I remembered you told me about your childhood. Nobody wanted to play with you because you’re a low rank, an omega. In here, we’re going to play, whatever you want to.”
The tears in my eyes suddenly welled up. “You’re such a sweet, my king.” I jumped a little as I hugged him so tight. “Thank you so much! I’m so happy! I’m not joking. I’m genuinely content. This night with you is mind blowing! You’re the best!” I was talking faster as my sobs could be heard. His shirt was now wet due to my cry so I have a distance to our bodies.
“Sorry for dampening your shirt.” I tapped his shirt. “Hehe.”
“That’s fine.” He grabbed a handkerchief in his pocket and wiped it on my face.
We walked to the swing, sat there and felt the movement of it. In our place, the only thing that made me happy during my childhood was the hammock. I only played with Eira, but since she was busy taking her training, I usually played alone.
Now, I have Pyro, not an ordinary werewolf, but a royal. The Alpha King of Fire.
“It’s like I went back to my childhood days!” I could feel the air puking my face as the swing moved back and forth. I saw that Pyro was also enjoying.
“When I was a child, I didn’t have friends either. I only have my brothers.”
