Alpha King of Fire

WE ARE FAMILY

PYRO’S POV

I wait for her to come back. I was looking at the window every single day, missing every moment with her, but when she was in front of me, the mad covered my whole system. When I was staring at Ember, my heart was twisting in pain. My mind could not absorb that Fira was owned by another man.

I walked faster, going to the kitchen.

“Your majesty.” Cass bowed her head to me.

“Fira is here.”

Her eyes widened. Her expression filled with excitement.

“Can I see her, your majesty?” She jumped in happiness.

“Yeah.” I averted my look on her. “Bring her food, make sure she eats well and report to me her condition afterward.”

“I will do that! Thank you so much!” She hurriedly finds food that might Fira like. I watched every move she made.

“And, Cass?” I grabbed her attention again. She paused and stared at me. “Don’t tell her about my order.”

A smile grew on her lips. “You can trust me, Your Majesty.”

I just gave her a small grin when she moved out of the kitchen.

I should not listen to Fira. I must go to the Red Moon Pack, but one line from Fira. I followed her. Funny, her absence did not make difference to a pound of my heart. I went to my room and sat on my piano. I did not play, I just stared at it.

“King Fire.”

My forehead furrowed as I heard a small voice. I was startled when I saw Ember peeking at my door. I left her sleeping tightly. What is he doing here?

“Hey, Little Angel?” I stood up, walked closer to her, and lifted her up. “You’re sleeping in your room, why are you here?”

He wrapped her hands around my neck and buried her face on my shoulder. I was about to shut the door, I paused when I viewed Fira was standing outside. So she brought her daughter here. I guess.

“I’m sorry for disturbing you. Ember’s crying. She wants to see you,” She said in a formal way. I ordered Cass to assist her, so she did not yet see Fira.

“Move inside.” I simply spoke. I managed not to look. I tried so hard.

I focused my attention on Ember, she was cuddling on me. By staring at her face, she was so sad. I did not know what was the right words to say to make her happy. It felt like I had a responsibility to put a smile on her lips.

I was acted that I was laying her on the bed. She cried so loud. “I just want someone who hugs me. Papa!” She shouted his name.

Fira immediately went towards her, touched her back in an up and down direction. She was emotional, the tears were crawling in her face, too. I opened my mouth to say something, but it ended up nothing.

“Shh, Love. Mama is here.” Fira was getting her to me. Her grip on my neck was tight.

“It’s okay,” I said to Fira.

I used my both arms to hug Ember, she stopped crying. I felt pity for her. Imagine, that she was just four years old and her father died. She knew that. She felt that. I would not blame her when she was acting devastated.

“King Fire, I’m so sad,” she whispered in my ear. The grief was on the tone of her voice.

I sat on the bed, settled her on my thighs while still hugging her. “That’s normal. You have feelings.” I stroked her glowing black straight hair.

“If people died, that means we won’t see them anymore, right? Right, King Fire?”

I could not talk. I gazed at her face for a minute. Her adorable feature was putting light on my dark heart. I cupped her cheek, and gently caressed it.

“That’s not true,” I answered shortly.

“But Mama said when a person dies, they’ll not exist in this world?” Her innocent figure, reminding me of Fira. I gazed at Fira who was standing in front of us. I was not sure, but she was showing a happy expression.

Why? She must be ruined because her husband died.

“Yes, they leave your side but?” I grasped her cute hands and touched the back of it. I could feel its softness. “You have this.” I pointed at her chest. “Even if they’re absent, they’ll still be in there. You’ll remain seeing and feeling them using your love.”

Finally, she stopped sobbing. She listened to me. She was like me when I was young. When my mother said a lesson, I was listening carefully and kept it in my head, heart, and soul until now, I was using it as a better man. That made me a good person.

“Thank you, King Fire.” She hugged me again. Her small body was soothing me. I grabbed for air and embraced her back.

“Thank you for what?”

“For accompanying me and Mama. She must be in pain right now. Please hug her, too.”

I gulped my own saliva. I did not want Fira to notice it. The tension filled the atmosphere. This kid had no knowledge about me and her mother’s relationship before.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Ember was brought down from my lap. She ran towards Fira, held her hand, and dragged her closer to me. “When I’m sorrowful, I just hugged King Fire, it made me feel relieved.” She looked up at her mother. “Mama, please embrace King Fire, he might give you a relief like his effect to me.”

“Love, Mama is oka一” She stopped talking when I walked faster to jail her with my arms. I hugged her so tightly as if there was no other time, no other day. I brushed her hair gently and kissed her head. She burst out crying. I knew how heavy it was. How painful it was. I felt this before when the Fire Pack vanished.

We stayed gluing our body for about a second until I felt Ember’s small hand encircling to our knees. I paused a bit and then carried her on my arm, and then went back to hugging them both.

My eyes went to Fira and then to Ember. They looked alike. They had a big similarity. I gazed at Ember for so freaking long. I realized Hali was right.

They are angles that her figure looks like mine.

Damn.

“Fira, you have something to explain.”

I was unsure. I needed to hear coming from her mouth. My mind was joking me. I felt that we are family.

Do we?
