Alpha King of Water

HER COLD TREATMENT

HALI’S POV

“What happened to her, King Water?” Ember was cutely pulling my king garment as she was curious about what was happening in the clinic. The doctor was treating Zarya. Although she was safe now, I used my healing power for her.

“Ember, come to your mother.” Pyro moved closer to her and carried her into his arms. “I’m sorry that my daughter is bothering you.”

“No, that’s fine.” I pinched Ember’s chubby cheek. “Go to your mom, my love.”

She pulled my hand and kissed my cheek. “Bye, King Water!”

I had a smile on my lips when I watched Pyro lift her in his arms and Fira held his hands. They left me with a smile on their faces. They had incomparable happiness as a complete and perfect family.

Same as with Colden and he has his incoming baby.

Yes, Colden found the love of his life. She is Fira’s sister, Eira. The same as Pyro, they fell to the assigned omega to them. It was so hard for them to fight for their lives, but in the end, they achieved a happy ending which that would never happen to me.

The healer went out to the clinic. She nodded at me and greeted me before she left. I walked inside the room and saw Khal. He was sitting beside Zarya.

“Congratulations.” My opening word to them. Khal just moved his head up and down as thank you for me.

“King Water…” Matilda lowered her head to me. Her change was too different from her young features. She had totally mature, but her beauty was still visible from any angle of her face. “I’m sorry. I just did what you command.”

“Command?” Khal interrupted the conversation.

I gazed at Leo that was on the side. I featured to him that he moved out and secured that no one would hear us.

“King Water ordered me to look after you, especially Zarya, that was why I was at the Battle of The Next Betas,” Matilda explained. Except for Leo, my trusted guard, and Seryo, King Fire’s trusted man, Matilda was one of them. She is my eyes in anywhere and who I wanted to protect. I did one time to Zarya when she was at the Dungeon and I would do that again without a doubt for her safety.

“Didn’t you trust me?”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

I was in shock when Zarya talked. I thought she was sleeping. She gazed at his brother and then at Matilda. “Can I be alone with King Water?” Khal and Matilda just nodded to me and to her and then they went to the door.

“King Water?” I gritted my teeth. “You have no right to call me that way.”

“And what is my right?” She raised her eyebrow. No emotion. It was like years without her had changed a lot. Even the way she talked and stared at me. It was all… cold.

The silence filled the air. I had not known where should I start. I just want to hug her so tight and after that fuck her senseless. Don’t get me wrong. I was damn trying to be good here.

“So you have a family now?”

My eyebrows moved up. “Family? Who the heck told you I have a family?”

She looked away as if she was embarrassed. “Haven’t you?”

When her eyes met mine, I could not stand it anymore. I hurried toward her and cupped her cheek. I kissed her, managing to be gentle, even though that was not my attitude. She was a bruise on her lips and even on her cheek, so I managed not to hurt her. I stopped and gazed at her when she did not even respond.

She looked down with her furrowed forehead. “Why did you do that?”

I gulped my saliva, clearing my throat as I looked away. How should I explain what I did? No reason at all. I just… having that feeling of hugging her, of kissing her, of… making love with her.

Yeah. Damn it. Making love is not my thing.

We had no clear conversation. Just a silent atmosphere and I hate this shit. Maybe I was just expecting her to tell stories about what she had been doing during the battle or she would say she missed me. Her cold treatment was bothering me. I was about to open my mouth when the knock on the door echoed.

“Zarya?”

I clenched my jaw when I heard a man’s voice. I tightened my fist when the madness filled my system.

Cool down your balls, Hali.

“Open.” Zarya looked at my back.

“I brought these apples. I know you like一” The man stopped talking when I gazed at him.

“Apologies, Your Majesty.” He lowered his head. “I didn’t know. You’re here.”

Instead of bursting out in anger. I sat in the chair next to Zarya. I forced myself to talk as respectfully as I could. “It’s all right. Go come with her.”

He had a smile on his lips when he sat on her side, on the bed as it bounced. “Look.” He raised the apples as Zarya smiled widely. “You’re so sweet.” He messed up his hair. I did not even damn know who this man was.

“Your name?” They both looked at me when I interrupted. I folded my arms under my chest.

“I am Cleo Karl, Your Majesty. One of the New Betas.” His grin ear by ear was irritating the hell out of me. I could not say he was not that good-looking man because he was a pretty man in spite of the cuts on his face and swollen cheek.

“Parents?”

“The Noble people Jake and Essa Karl, Your Majesty.” He sounded excited and friendly which was the total opposite of me. “They died when I was a kid, so I was now the heir of House Karl.”

I played with my tongue on the side of my cheek. I prevented myself to be not rude. Zarya might not like it, so I pulled all my patience together.

“So… you’re a noble person?” I heard about a noble person about my brother. I did not give a fuck to them, I just kind absorb it once he was talking about it with Pyro. They were one of the vital people of the kingdom, a part of a high born, meaning he was one of the essentials. I could not just use my power to hit him or what.

“Yes, Your Majesty.” He sounded like a good person. His attention came back to Zarya afterward when I did not ask him another question. “Do you have a knife here?”

“No need for a knife.” Zarya showed him his nails in one second her claws let out. That was amusing of her. She could now easily show his claws. Battle Of The Beta was a great help.

I watched them laugh and conversed as if they were so closed. Was he the man pertaining by my water? The man she spent of all day? And she was happy? Great. Her lover probably.

“There’s a celebration on the House of Karl tomorrow. I hope you can come. It’s a masquerade party.” Cleo Karl gave her a piece of apple. My forehead formed waves in irritation, but I did not talk. When Zarya gazed at me, I immediately fixed my forehead into a straight skin and a light expression.

“I can’t promise.” Zarya gazed at her side table. She tried to get the glass of water. Cleo Karl helped her, he placed it to her hand. “Thanks.”

“Anytime.” He stood up. “I’ll go. Take a rest.” He smiled at her and then stared at me. “Your Majesty.” Then, he left.

I moved my head in an upright direction. I did not care if his fucking balls moved out of the room. I was just trying to be kind here. Zarya came from the battle and was not healthy for me to act as if I owned the universe.

“King Water, please leave me. I want to be alone.” She lay her body on the bed, positioning her body the sideways and showing me her bck, and then closed her eyes.

I clenched my jaw. Her frozen emotion was new to me. Perhaps, I will give her time for herself. “Fine… let’s talk again tomorrow. Restwell.” I slowly stepped to the door when she talked.

“Did you miss me?” She paused for a second. I sealed my mouth as I had no plan to talk.

“Zarya, I missed you. Yeah, I missed you, too. How are your years without me? Well, I’m fine. Did you eat well in those years? No, I didn’t. I’m thinking of you, all day, all night. Scared of death… Scared of not seeing King Water…” She asked herself and then she would just answer it until I heard a sniffing sound.

Is she crying?
