Alpha King of Water

FATAL

ZARYA’S POV

All of us stared at Hali. Kastrid was just stating the fact. If his father knew about his human friends. He would hunt them and killed. They were trained not to be friends with humans as it would just make them weak.

“If you have mouth now. Will you still have mouth tomorrow if I cut it?” Hali’s threat caused a shiver into my spine. He was a King of Asshole and Trash Talker. I liked his being genuine at times.

Froy laughed so loud even though there was fried rice in his mouth, sprinkling out of it. “That’s one reason why I like Hali. His words are great I can use in my poems.”

“I’m just asking.” Kastrid’s beautiful smile was established on her lips.

“Who is Kastrid to you?” Tan Tan’s asked as the confusion on his expression was there. “I never met her before.”

“I am his who一” Kastrid words interrupted when Hali talked.

“She’s my woman.”

“You mean… she’s your girlfriend?” Froy asked, too. He drank orange juice.

“Yeah.” Hali answered without looking at me. I was about to drink water when Froy questioned him again.

“And Zarya? Don’t tell me you have two girlfriends?” Froy’s smirk was on his lips. I thought he was just putting tension, teasing Hali for no reason. Thye should be together. They desired to annoy each other.

“She’s…” Hali gazed at Khal, “My friend.”

“But I saw the two of you kissin一”

“You should eat this.” My reflex was immediately put an apple on Froy’s mouth to avoid him talking. I was pretty sure, he saw us at the Light House. It was so embarrassing.

Froy’s grin was widening as he was chewing the apple. “Interesting.” Then, he gazed at Khal. “Why did you break up with your long-time girlfriend?”

I bit my lips. I felt that the atmosphere was getting hotter and hotter. I should swim or something.

“Did your heartbeat for someone? I mean… in the circle of this table?” Froy follow-up question.

I chew the food. I was about to ignore them when I realized everyone was looking at me. My eyes went to Khal. He was gazing at me.

That’s ridiculous.

“I think so?” Khal answered.

I coughed plenty of times. Am I imagining or he was pertaining to me? Seriously?

“Ah, huh!” Froy’s pointed a hand to Hali then to Kastrid then to Khal then to me. “There’s a complication. I just want to remind my buddies that we’re friends since we f*cked women at the bar. Please don’t create a wound that will never heal.”

“You talk nonsense.” Hali wiped his mouth with the table napkin. He just turned his back without saying any words. I just watched him.

“Wait up.” I wiped my mouth, too, and followed him. “King Water.”

Hali looked at his side and then at them. “Don’t call me that.”

“Can I stay for a bit longer?”

“Why?” His eyes went to the ocean. I could not swim the content of his mind.

“I just want fresh air.”

“I can’t stay. I have duties at the kingdom. The written examination is coming.”

“I won’t ask you to stay with me.”

He showed me his black expression. “No one will save you when the pack hunting you come in this land and cut your throat. Your knowledge in combat is not enough.”

“Then… can you stay?”

“Stop commanding me. You’re just an omega. I’m your king.” He turned around and left me.

“I have no king.” I was being tough in that part. Hali just ignored me.

Eventually, Khal walked closer to me. “Hali’s a king, isn’t he?”

“How did you know?”

“I saw him shifting as a wolf. No worries I won’t tell others. If this is not the time for them to know.”

“Since when did you know?”

“Years.” He held on to the railing, looking around at the great scenery of the ocean. The waves of water were making everything perfect. “Are you a… wolf, too?”

I moved my head down. I had no idea if it was right for me to tell my secrets to him even though he was Hali’s friend.

“I can tell.” He continued talking. “That’s fine. I won’t judge you.”

“Hide my secret.”

“As you wish.”

We both smiled at each other. I would come back here for them and also, I would find my friends. They would probably miss me since I disappeared like a bubble.

“You possibly grew in our world?”

Little by little, I was comfortable talking to him. He was not uneasy to speak with. He was full o humor and sense, a serious man in a serious world of reality.

“You loved guessing.”

“And my guess is right.” He chuckled a bit. “Kastrid is not used to the foods and the place unlike you. Seems like you’ve been here.”

“I grew at the Alpha King’s world, but we eventually migrated to Human World. I learned the culture, place, and even education.”

“Where did you study?”

“At Bright’s University. A public school with a free tuition fee.”

“I’ve been there. Unlucky, we didn’t see each other. I used to visit a public school for taping.”

I caught myself laughing at my conversation with Khal. There was sometimes no fun. When was the last time I burst out laughing? I remembered my brother to him. The teenage boy who loved to annoy me, but it was not annoying really. It was his way of cuddling to his sister. They had the same likes: Spiderman. I never thought that Khal would like that corny creature. I knew he loved to spend most of his time with his pets. Guess, what? It was an exotic pet: Spider, scorpion, snakes and others. Which was why he found wolves as cool creatures.

In the midst of our conversation, Hali shouted to move down. The gunshots bathed the whole area.

“Get the f*ck up down!” He shouted again to everybody. Khal’s arm was encircling mine when he got down on the floor.

“See? I’m right. They’ll hunt you, Hali. You didn’t listen to me.” Froy was crawling on the floor as he was protecting Rozella on his arm. This world was different. Guns were weapons unlike in our world.

Hali gazed at me. He examined if I was safe then he spelled out. “Water.”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

The waves of water in the ocean instantly moved up, flooding the whole area and swallowing those armies. In one second, they were drawing in water.

My eyes settled on Hali. His nose was bleeding, meaning he should not use the element of water in the Human World.

It is… fatal.
