Alpha King of Fire

NEW LIFE

PYRO’S POV

Zephyrus took care of all the things we needed. From our identity to our house. He bought a big house that could occupy all of us. Honestly, I was not aware that he had a business in the human world. What a smart guy, but naughty. He was a company, although it was not big, that was enough for the starting. I now understand why he was always in the city.

Fira was in the room, she was staring at the window all day. Sometimes, I saw her crying so bad. The same as Eira, that was why Colden was so stressed. She should not stay like that for a long time.

At times, I was blaming myself for what had happened. If only we did not escape from the Elemental Kingdom. Maybe Eyrom was still alive. But like what Zephyrus always says, “That’s life.”

We never know when they would leave us or until when they would stay in our side. That was the routine of life in the world. One minute, they were with us. The next minute, they went. Therefore, we needed to give them extra care. They were the most important thing in life.

Ember showed a sad face to me. She was not eating so much, so I did all my best to make her eat.

“Dearest, here is your food.” I was holding a tray of food. I kicked the door to close it. She never looked at me. Her eyes were only outside. “Dearest?” I brushed her hair and kissed her head. “Eat please?”

She gazed at my face, the tears suddenly rolled on her cheek. “Can you just leave me? Leave me!”

My eyes widened in shock. “You need to eat. You’re not having your breakfast.”

She shut her mouth. I sat on the bed and hugged her so tight. That was the only thing that I could do to lighten her emotion. Hug.

“I understand your grief. I really understand, but please don’t stay long like this. Our peaceful life is starting. Normal life away from the war. Your father won’t like it if you are stuck in a room all day and sobbing.”

She placed her face on my chest and embrace me back. “I’m sorry. I just don’t know how to ease the pain in my heart.”

“You don’t need to remove the pain. That’s normal. Deal with it.” I settled my lips on her forehead. “It might be dark, but there’s always a light.”

She was surprised when she heard those lines, causing her to sob more. I joined her grief and patiently wait until she recovered. When she was crying at night, I was there comforting her. When she could not open her eyes due to swelling, I kissed it. When she could not take the pain anymore, I just hugged her until she fell asleep. When she could not take bath, I washed her body. When she was felt alone and empty, I told her a story of where we met.

I did not give up because real love never surrender.

Until one day?

“Let’s go out on the beach! I saw it on the television! In the Elemental Kingdom, there’s only river and stream!” Fira was running down the stair.

I was in the kitchen, studying how to cook, and reading the recipe.

Eira was in good condition. She could now smile like before. They also went to the doctor every day to know the condition of the baby.

“Please, my king!” Fira hugged me from my back. A smile was formed on my lips.

“I’m no longer a king.” I faced her, bent down to touch her lips with my lips.

“Did you brush your teeth?” She was pinching his nose while glaring at me. “Aren’t you?”

I put my hand in a bit distance in my mouth and then blew a breath on it. “I am.”

“Your breath smells bad!” She was chuckling while she was waving her hands on her face.

“Really?” I teased her by kissing her more passionately. She was laughing so loud that echoing in the house. We just stopped when Ember moved inside the kitchen.

“Papa, I want apple!” I assisted her to sat on the island bar counter.

“Yes, my princess.”

Fira watched me do every request of Ember. Then suddenly she said, “Thank you.”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“For what?” I put the glass of milk in front of Ember. “Drink this.”

“For taking care of us. You’re not used to doing household chores, especially taking care of a kid.” She put her arms on my neck.

“I learned because I want to.” I put my hands on her waist and placed her next to Ember. “My two babies are going to have their glasses of milk!” I made my voice energetic even though it was not my attitude. I just felt like doing it.

“Crap, Pyro. I don’t like that!” Fira was refusing when I put the glass in front of her. “I won’t make hits chocolate again! I swear!”

“I can make it my own,” Zephyrus told me how to make it. He had so many things to learn in the human world. Therefore, I could not move when he was not around. I would always call him. By the way, he gave me a cellphone to contact him. This was the technology used by human beings.

“Hey, come here.” I went in the middle of Fira and Ember. “Look at the camera.” They were shocked when it clicked and captured us. “This is our first family picture together.”

“So cute,” Fira said while looking at my cellphone. I watched her beautiful face, wide smile, and blooming features.

I would never get tired of falling in love with her over and over again. I wanted to be with her until my last breath. I could not wait for the day of our wedding. I hope she would like it.

“We’re going to the beach tomorrow,” I informed Ember and Fira.

“With the kings?” Ember put his hand on her chin. “I missed King Water and King Lightning, are they going to join us?”

“Let me see what I can do, my Princess.”

“Yehey!”
