Chapter 166
UNCOVERED THE PAST
ZARYA’S POV
“Babe, they’re here!” Sera was running towards us. We came to the front yard. A little girl was playing on the swing. The carpets were grass and the toys were scattered around.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
A wide smile formed on my lips when Froy came out. “Hali, Balls! Kha, Dick!” Froy was so excited when he hurried towards them. He hangs his arms to Hali on the right and Khal on the left. “I miss you, Dicks!”
“Dad, what are dicks?”
We all startled when a little voice of a tiny girl with a braid of beautiful hair talked. Froy’s eyes widened, his expression was unexplainable.
Hali hit the back of his head, which made him bounce and balanced his body. “You haven’t matured. You have a daughter, Fu-Father.”
I chuckled when Hali stopped himself from cursing. He walked towards the little angel and lifted her in his arms. I had no idea why my eyes welled up. I imagined that he was holding our child, but even if we dreamt together of having a perfect family, things might not end like that in an instant. Images popped inside my head.
“Can I have a word?”
I gazed back at Raiden. I was in the kitchen, preparing for lunch when Raiden suddenly showed up.
“Yeah, sure, King Lightning.” I soaked my hands with water and wiped it with a dried towel before I followed him.
“Raiden.” He corrected me. “I didn’t want a person who’s important to my brothers to address me as royal king.”
I nodded my head. I was not usually talking to Raiden, so I was not sure if it was me who felt awkward.
He brought me to the library. He used his head to gesture to me to sit and then he placed a large book in front of me. “You might hate me forever for this. That’s the conclusion.”
“Why?” I unconsciously asked him. He sat in front of me, his perfectly shaped eyes looking away.
“Read the rules of the Elemental Kingdom, Great Beta.” He emphasized my title as if he was pertaining to something.
The nervousness filled my chest when I slowly opened the book.
“Page 1, 156.” He spelled out. “I am not an antagonist here, Zarya. I just want to share my knowledge. If only I can do something, I can help, but… it’s too late for me to discover it.”
I gazed at him before I looked down at the book, finding the pages. My heart was pounding faster as if knowing something from this book would surely break my heart.
My eyebrows frowned when I flipped the page 1, 156, the written stoke was “Alpha King Of Water’s Love Of His Life”
I looked at Raiden with confusion. What the… What is this?
There was nothing written on it, but when I moved my eyes down I saw the tiny handwriting.
She is the sun.
Raiden covered his mouth while chuckling. This man was really perfect! From his features down to his nails!
“Sorry, Hali just wants to…” He pointed at my back.
My eyes widened when Zephyrus was holding the banner of “Will,” Pyro was “You,” I was looking for the other one, but Raiden caught my attention when he cleared his throat. I glimpsed at him and saw “Marry.” Then suddenly Hali showed up from the bookshelves. He was wearing the “Me” while having a huge smile on his lips.
“That’s so… sweet,” I whispered as a big smile was visible to me. My heart was jumping as fast as it could. It made the world colorful and spotless in spite of all the reasons to give up my love for him.
The tears of joy rolled to my cheek. I was about to stand up and answered Hali when Colden was running towards the middle. “Sorry, I’m late!” He was holding the banner of “?” Then, he went next to Hali. A loud laugh filled the whole area when Hali hit his shoulder.
“You are late. You are just holding the question mark and yet you can’t do it well.” Hali messed up his hair.
“Sorry.” Colden raised his hand with a peace sign on his fingers.
I laughed as loud as I would. Never in my life did I imagine Hali would do such a thing. I thought he was just good at owning me or restricting me. This was proof that he could make me as sweet as sugar if he could.
Hali gradually stepped forward. He was nice looking in his light green king garment. He made my jaw drop with his fixed hair and perfectly curved smile.
“Answer me or I will answer for you?” Hali had never possessed a nice tone of voice, shouting was his professionalism. It was new to me that he had a very sugar-like tone of voice.
I hurried towards him. I hugged him so tight and answered. “Yes!”
The shouts of the kings covered the area. Most of it was teasing for him.
“Yeah! Yeah! Hali’s cock is in his favorite hole!” Zephyrus screamed and filled my ear. They were laughing loudly.
Hali lifted me and kissed me gently. After a short passionate kiss, he whispered. “I love you. I hope I can marry you now. However, let me do everything to hurry it up. Although it’s not going to be easy at least… you said yes.”
“Zarya?” I went back to my senses when Seraphina hugged me. “I miss you! You look so different. I heard that you are now a Great Beta.”
“Ah, yes. I won the battle.”
“And you!” Sera tapped Khal’s chest. “We should celebrate!”
“I wanna go to a bar, Babe.” Froy interrupted, “With them… of course.”
Sera gave him a smile. “Sure, I can take care of Phina Frey.”
“Yes, my man!” Froy hit Hali’s shoulder over and over again.
Froy did not change. He was still the same, playful, but his face became mature. Perhaps, because of having a family. He went to Khal and teased him. “Don’t touch me, Bro. I’m the Secretary of Zephyrus.” He was so funny.
On my side, Sera chuckled. “I’ve never been bored during my years with Froy.”
“Good for you.”
Sera invited us to go inside. I was looking around from the moment I stomped on their house. It was not that big, but enough for their family. There was a picture frame hanging on the wall. They were married in the Human World. They had built a good relationship with each other for the past few years.
While me? In the battle, working to be a Great Beta. I achieved it though.
I gazed around. In the wedding pictures, all of Froy’s friends were there, even Tan Tan, Alisha, Rozella, and others, except for Hali and Khal.
“Are you finding Hali in there?” Sera looked up at the big picture frame. “He sent a gift and greeted message, but he didn’t come.”
“Is there anything wrong that happened that day?”
Sera walked closer to it. “According to the letter, he was whipped by his father because he tried to follow the players at the battle of the betas.”
I was completely shocked. I could not move as I gasped for a long deep air in my lungs.
“He disobeyed the rules. He escaped and threatened his father that if something bad happened to his loved ones-he didn’t say if it’s you or Khal, just like that… he will bring the Elemental Kingdom down.”
“Why would he say that?”
“Because a message arrived, you were about to die at the level 3. You were unconscious for three weeks and Hali got worried too much.” Sera had a smile on his lips as she held my hands. “If Raiden couldn’t calm him down, Hali would be sentenced to… death for following you there and countless times trying to stop the battle.”
“He loves you more than you love him.”
