Chapter 10
THE CARNAL AGREEMENT
ZARYA’S POV
I was walking. I was located at the back of King Water. We were going to the training ground, slightly far from the Elemental Kingdom. We were just alone and according to him, no one should find out where the Hideout was. It was exclusive to him.
When we arrived, I was amazed by the place. It was like a house with a big front yard. It also had a gate. I was able to touch the steel of the gate to open it for him when he spoke.
“Did I order you?” His forehead was wrinkling in irritation.
“No…” I looked down. “Sorry, King一Hali.” I exhaled in relief as I remembered the last time I was called by King Water.
“Step aside.” He commanded me therefore I moved my feet to the side, giving him the way.
He looked at the lock of the gate. “Water.”
I was amused when it opened for him. “Do not touch it or go here without me. The lock might kill you. The gate is not ordinary steel. It has chants.”
I moved my head in an up and down direction. That was why I was prohibited to touch it. That was scary. What if some people accidentally touch it? They will die?
I explored the whole area. It had short grasses in the front yard. A little bit of flowers and then scattering trees. The house was not that huge, but it was so beautiful with a design of the symbol of water. The wall color was light blue. The door opened when he said, “water.” I was wondering if I spell out the word water, would it unlock? Or was it exclusive for him?
I was about to sit on the couch when he glared at me therefore I did not attempt. “I didn’t order you to sit.” He pointed at the single couch. “You can settle there, but not to the other sofa chair.” He walked to the window and fastened unfastened the light blue curtain. “Don’t smell any of my objects.”
Again? What is wrong with my smell? His nose was quietly strong.
“Give me a sec and we’ll start the training.” He never looked at me. He just stepped to the dark blue color door and then shut it. I was exploring the area with just my eyes as I was sitting on the single couch. I did not walk around. He might smell me.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“This place is relaxing.” A small smile was traced on my lips.
When Hali moved out of the room. My eyes were glued to him. He changed his clothes into a warrior suit. “Come after me.”
I followed him again. I was like a dog tail. We arrived at the front yard. He raised up his palm and said, “Hide.”
I was so amazed. His power could do almost everything. He had a wolf form and he could be as strong as anybody else. Now I knew what was the essence of the Alpha Kings.
“We’ll train your body first to endure the pain…” His eyes lay on me. “Different kinds of pain such as pain in s*xting, pain in punch, kick, slap, and others. You should learn how to lessen it and eventually cope with that feeling.”
I listened to him carefully. I was nodding my head as I was watching him, walking towards me. I gasped for air. His emotion was telling me that he was in dangerous mode as if anytime he would harm me.
My body trembled in shock when he slapped me. That was not a weak slap, it burned my cheek as if my head would be detached from my neck.
“Does it hurt?”
The tears in my eyes rolled. I wanted to touch my cheek and massage it because it was so painful. The stinging sensation was too much.
“Yes, King Water,” I answered with my small voice. I was preventing the sound of my sob. My eyes widened when he slapped me again. Not one, but two. Two strong slaps in both my cheeks.
“Does it hurt?” His voice was just low, but the authority was there. There was something in his stare to me as if he was waiting for me to say the word that he wanted to hear.
“Yes, Hali.” I burst out crying. I almost lay on the ground as I was touching my cheeks.
Why does he doing this to me?
I thought he was done, but another forceful slap landed on my cheek. “Stop, please! It hurts!”
He gritted his teeth. “Does it hurt?” He repeated the same question for the third time.
I was thinking carefully. My answer would matter. He told me, he would teach me how to bear the pain that means…
“No, Hali.” I bravely looked directly into his eyes. The smirk was written on his lips. He turned his back at me and threw something. I caught that thing, I was startled when I looked at it.
“Arnis?” I stared at every part of it. I was surprised when my name was engraved on it. “Zarya…” I read it while spinning it.
“That’s a present. That will be your friend during the training.” Hali walked a little distance far from me. “You have a sword too, but you can’t get it when you’re not a Beta.”
I was so shocked when I heard the title. Does he mean he will make me a beta?
“First, you passed the written examination of the Elemental Kingdom. Next, fight for the title and third…” He ran as fast as he could. I thought he would slap me again, but when he stopped in front of me he whispered, “You’re required to be my beta.”
My body froze when he grabbed my neck with both hands, kissed my right cheek, and then left cheek.
“I’m good to you. You better be good to me, too.” He moved his mouth in my ear. “For that reason… when I said I had a bad day… you will smilingly climb in my bed and offer your body.”
My fear was getting severe. He gazed directly into my eyes. “Did you hear me?”
The tears in my eyes welled up, blurring my vision. “Yes, I will.”
He smirked as he messed up my hair. “Work hard and surely you’ll get your reward.”
