Alpha King of Water

SON OF THE GREAT BETA

ZARYA’S POV

The training went well, I and my brother had passed. Tonight was supposed to be the rest time for the long exhausting days, but I chose to gaze at the yellow-orange moon. The gray clouds were surrounding it. Breathtaking scenery in my eyes. I walked slowly to the white sand of the seashore.

Seo Blood Drop commanded us to migrate near the sea, that was why we were here. It was a favor for all of us, so we could relax after a bloody training. I sat on the white sands and stared at the sky. I could see Hali inside my head.

Is it a crime to wish that he is here beside me?

I bit my lips softly as the images flashed inside my head. There were times when we were fighting against each other. Sometimes, I could not feel that he is a king and I am just his follower. In spite of his rough personality, there was still a gentleness and softness in his heart that no one saw, except those people who really knew him.

By looking at the dim glittering stars in the dark sky, the coldness of the air touched my skin. I was longing for his warmth. It did not matter if he did not love me or what. All I needed was him, his embrace in my misery, in my hopeless life.

I remembered when he invited me to one of the parks in the High wood. He brought me something to eat.

“Ice cream?” He extended his arms while offering me ice cream in his hands. I was not a fan of it, but because of him, that day became extra special.

While I was licking the ice cream, he was watching my every action. “Why are you looking at me?”

“To be honest…” He shrugged his shoulder while there was a peeking smile on his lips. “You look ravishing.”NôvelDrama.Org content.

“What do you mean?”

I breathe all the air I could let in when his face came near to my face, an inch away. He stared at my face for so long. He used his forefinger to drag the hair blocking my face. “There. You look stunning.”

In his words, I felt something in me became part of him, and his part became in me. It was not about the unity of bodies, or myself that was first taken by him. I just felt my heart was so happy when he was next to me.

He left no distance in our faces when he glued our lips together in the most gentle and passionate way. His kiss never told me that I was just his whore or someone o be fucked when he needed to. Thousands and millions of electricity crawled all over me. The butterflies felt in my stomach. The sparkling of my eyes was shouting how much I loved him.

But like the sunrise, it has ending.

Did he think of me like what I was doing now? I hope so.

“It’s relaxing. The night is at peace.”

I did not look to my side as I heard that it was Cleo Karl’s voice. Settling next to me was his second action. He joined me in stargazing. I decided not to respond to his lines.

“I’m sorry for the trouble I caused. I just don’t have someone to be in this play. I have no bad intentions. I hope you can trust me.” His voice was telling how sincere he was. The voice spoke to it.

“I can’t distrust you,” I told him as my eyes were not in him, remained in the stars. “Did you…” That was the time I glimpsed at him, “fell so deeply in love?”

A shock was written into his innocent face. He was not expecting the question. “Why did you ask?”

“I just wonder… I felt this.” I pointed at my chest. “It’s heavy. Too heavy.”

“Why?” He wrote on the sand using his forefinger. “It’s a sign of the pain of missing someone.”

“I’ll not disapprove of your guess. I’m missing him so bad.”

“Definitely, he misses you back.”

I shook my head, disagreeing with him. “He won’t. Not me.”

“Never say never.”

How can he say those words with a light in his expression?

“Wake up!” The tent was shaking when I opened my eyes. I was about to move when I saw the bloodstain on my blanket. “Unbelievable.” I got menstruation. Since I drank the herbs that Hali was giving to avoid the baby, my menstrual cycle became regular and smooth flowing. I hate to have it today though.

“You, fine?” Cleo asked me when he saw I had a pale lip. I just nodded, even though I was not so well. Dysmenorrhea made me suffer.

“In line!” Seo Blood Drop commanded. Everyone ran towards the center and fell in line. My straight posture was shouting for my readiness for the incoming training, even though I felt a tiny stinging sensation in my lower belly.

Matilda was in my left side, getting serious. When she was in the training, she was like a different person.

“This special day has come.” Seo Blood Drop placed his hands at his back while he was slowly walking back and forth in front of us. There was a sword in his side hip. “No shifting of wolf. The fight will be hand to hand. No using of tools, just your bare bodies.” His face showed no emotion, no mercy as if whatever he said we should follow it or else we would subject to execution. He was scary than the kings.

“The sturdy will pass and continue the next level. The loser will be… eliminated.” He chinned up, looking at us, one by one. When he came near me, I showed him that I had no fear at all. He passed by to me, walking forward to the left. My body was filled with worry when he halt in front of Khal.

“Son of the Great Beta, you go first.”
