Alpha King of Fire

YOUR FRIEND

FIRA’S POV

“Who told you to speak with another guy when my symbol is on you?”

The stretch of my lips faded. I studied his expression, there was nothing on it, but the tone of his voice was irritating.

“Sorry.” I hid my pulse on my back. Since the symbol was on me, I always had a white scarf to my wrist, covering it. Fortunately, my sister did not see it.

“I told you to go to my room after your duty, didn’t I?” I heard the annoyance in his voice.

“Sorry, Pyro, I came from-”

“King Fire. We are outside, Fira.” He crossed his arms on his chest. “Follow me.”

He turned his back to me. I was shocked when I saw the blood on his garment. It was red, but it became maroon due to bleeding. I knew that it was blood because the color was different.

I ran beside him and walked, labeled with him. “King Fire, what happened to your back? Oh, crap! You need serious medical attention. Do I need to call King Are-”

His eyes glared at me. He also stopped from walking. “That’s why I need you! I don’t need anyone, but you!”

Literally, my jaw dropped. My eyes were widening as the shock crawled all over my body. My feet were glued to the ground. I could not move my body. I blinked three times and waited for my brain to absorb what he said.

“What did you…” I cleared my throat, “say?”

His eyes had a spark of irritation, but his emotion was still cold. I could not dive into his thoughts. He was unpredictable. His handsome perfect feature was hiding all of his emotion.

His mouth was closed as he passed me. He walked straightly, the royal ramp gesture. He was stepping with his body straight and cool. Everyone was looking at him and then they bowed.

I ran as fast as I could to follow his step, but every time I labeled him, he doubled the speed of his steps until I could not reach him anymore.

When he arrived at his room, he slammed the door in my face, it almost touched my nose. I knocked plenty of times. “King Fire, you need to take your medicine. Your back is bleeding. Please, let me in.”

Seryo was beside me, moving his head from left to right. “He’s not in a good mood. Kindly go back later or tomorrow, Omega.”

“No! His back is in pain. The wounds are severe. He might die from blood loss!” I knocked again, but he did not answer.

“King Fire! I am sorry for what I did. Please open the door.” The tears welled up into the corner of my eyes. I had no idea why my heart was filled with worry. I knew that his life was in danger, anytime he would pass out. I saw the blood! It was dripping and I knew that it was fatal.

Did anyone hurt him? Or does he gets a slash from the courtroom? Did he do something?

“King Fire.” I knocked again three times. “Please! Let me in!”

“He will not open the door if he doesn’t want to.”

I moved my head to face my back and then I saw Raiden. He was holding a bandage and medicines. “Excuse me.” He put his ear on the door, trying to hear what was happening inside. He moved his mouth closer to the wooden door. “It’s me, Raiden. I will bring you the medicines you need. Let me check you, Bro.”

We heard nothing. We waited for the door to open, but Pyro had no plan to do that.

“I will kick your door if you don’t open this! You don’t want your things to be ruined. Right!” Raiden threatened him. Again, no response. “I will kick the door now. Here we-”

“Let Fira in.”

I was stunned when I heard his voice. I thought he was wincing because it was obvious in his voice.

Raiden stared at me as he sighed and shook his head. “Put this on his wound and make him drink the pain relievers. Watch out for every move he makes. He hated the taste of medicine, he probably pretended to swallow it, but the truth is it is under his tongue.”

I moved my head in an up and down direction. I absorbed what he said so I held the medicines and herbs. The door opened, but Pyro was not in sight. I started to walk forward and then looked back again to Raiden, he just gave me a serious slight nod.

“Thanks, Fira.”

I just nodded again before I finally closed the door.

When our eyes met, he had no emotion. He was sitting on the bed and his back was not leaning on the headboard.

My body trembled in fear as I recognized the way he looked at me. It was normal that the fire filled his eyes, but this time it was intense. I could not guess what was on his head.

“Pyro, you need these medicines to-”

“Can you stop smiling to other guys, except to me?”

My focus was on his wound. So he was thinking about my smile to whom? To the miner? My head was messed up to think why he was getting mad just because I talked to other guys. Yes, the symbol is in me, but it would not block me from meeting friends, talking to strangers, and living my happy life. He was thinking just for himself, it was unfair.

One day, I believed that the symbol would disappear because we did not love each other. How would we be together if we have no feelings? Another thing is, I am an omega. It would not change the fact that our status was different.

“Let’s treat your wounds.” I walked closer to him. I was about to reach him when he spoke, the reason why I stopped.

“I am requesting, Fira, not commanding. It seems like you don’t care about what I am saying?”

The dread covered my body. He was staring at me now with full anger on his face. His eyes were black as if he would swallow my whole body without chewing it. In front of me was a different Pyro, maybe this was what Eira said-the monster.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“I’m sorry. Whatever makes you angry. My deepest apology, King Fire.” I stepped one forward. My body was shaking. The fright was in my heart.

I just want the ground open and swallow me. I want to hide from his intense stare.

I managed to ignore his glare at me as I sat beside him. I cleared my throat as I put the medicine on the side table. “Can I see your back?”

He just stared at my face with his clenching jaw. “Why would I follow you? I am the king and you are just-” He looked away, viewing the window. “Omega.” He said that in a low voice.

I managed to smile even though my lips were shaking in fear. I was balancing the tension between us because I had no idea when he would burst out the anger. I might not want to see that, I would probably run and cry and I do not want him to see me like that.

“I am not just an omega, King Fire. I am…” I looked down and intertwined my hands, “your friend.”
