Alpha King of Water

HEARTBEAT

HALI’S POV

My eyes were glued to the entrance of the room. I was sitting on the couch, conversing with Colden. I had no idea why my body was calling by the bed, telling me to lay beside Zarya, who was sleeping. She was so tired, not with the work, but with what we did. It was necessary to leave her, my nose was getting worse, meaning my wolf was not comfortable. If I stayed longer, he would die.

“Did you bring what I ask you?” I glanced at Colden.

“Here.” He placed the herbs on the center table. Those were the herbs to avoid pregnancy.

“I will not take long at the Elemental Kingdom. I just need to recharge my wolf.” My voice was low, not my usual.

“Are you okay? You were not shouting? Do you have sickness?” Colden noticed it.

I shook my head, crossed my thighs, and let out harsh air. “I just don’t want to leave Zarya.”

“Oh?” Colden followed my eyes to where I was looking. “Don’t tell me she’s nude under the blanket?”

“Nope. I put on clothes for her.” I blew another sigh.

“You put clothes?” he emphasized those words as if what I did was a miracle. Well, not a normal gesture, but I did.

“Love repeating what I said?” I rolled my eyes as I folded my arms under my chest.

“Not a usual.” Colden gave me a small smile. “Don’t you know Zarya was about to be my queen when his father didn’t die?”

My attention was gathered by him. I had no idea that there was an event in the past like that.

“His father was a Great Beta of the Elemental Kingdom, he’s a good friend of Higher King, no matter what he requests, that would be given to him.”

I observed his emotion. Do not tell me this was happening? He loved her. Zarya, yes. I could see it in his twinkling eyes. I hissed annoyingly as I averted my look at him. I hope I just did not know.

“The thing to you… and Zarya? Does it all about the agreement?”

I hissed in irritation for the second time. “Don’t talk, Motherfucker!” I rolled my eyes and moved up. “Maybe it’s an agreement, but can you guarantee that it’s all about that afterward?” I turned my back and was about to leave him when he talked.

“Don’t play with her if you can’t take her seriously. She’s not a toy or a whore. She is Zarya, she is worth sticking with.”

I did not respond to his words. Whatever he was saying.

Zarya is mine, not after the agreement. This was freaking the hell out of me.

I caught myself climbing onto the bed. I could feel my heart was pounding recklessly and fast when I hugged her from the back. I would go to the Elemental kingdom in the evening and then go back in the morning. Colden’s lines would not bother me.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

I will cross the bridge another time.

I opened my eyes when it was past three in the afternoon. Zarya was still sleeping like a baby. She was lying in the side position, My eyes were glued to her. I never noticed her cute curly cute eyelashes, nose, and pinkish lips before. It was fun to stare at her, but it would be more fun teasing her. That was what we called satisfaction.

I looked down when her hand touched my shoulder. She was embracing me.

Why does she look comfortable beside me? She seemed unbothered.

When I realized that she would not wake yet, I walked out of the room. Colden was watching on the television screen. I could not blame him for being addicted to it, there was no television in the Elemental kingdom. The only computer was mine. My father was livid when he found out, I got a whip again. I did not care at all until he just ignored my stubbornness.

“Seeping well, huh?” Colden has frowned.

“Back off.” I rested beside him. He was watching nonsense cartoons. I thought Zephyrus was the only childish among my brother. Colden was one of them.

“When do you leave?”

“Freaking excited to be alone with Zarya?” I folded my arms and crossed my thighs. “Don’t touch her or I’ll cut your filthy hands, Fucker.”

“You’re so mean.”

“Hello, everyone!” We both looked at the back of the couch when we heard Zarya’s voice. She was yawning while walking dizziness and going to the kitchen. She looked back at me when she saw I was still here. “Hali, I thought you leave?”

The corner of my right lip moved up. “You’re freaking me out.”

“What makes you mad? I was just asking.” She raised her voice a little because she was in the kitchen.

“Gonna leave.” I stood up. She moved out from the kitchen, fixed all my things as if I was not going back. My forehead was wrinkling as I was watching her. The smile on her lips was well-written.

“Does me walking away makes you happy?” The irritation was on my face. My arms were on my front while looking down at her.

“Nope.” She smiled again, placed her hands on my hips, tiptoed, and kissed my lips. She was so short for my height that was why it was necessary, she was wearing heels at work.

“What that kiss for?” I glanced at Colden, he was acting as if he did not see it. His eyes were on the television, but his lips were pouted in annoyance even if he would not show irritation, I could predict what he felt.

“Good bye kiss.” She buried her face in my chest and sniffed, smelling my scent. “You smell like a wolf.”

I did not smile or what, I just shook my head a little. “Of course, I’m a wolf. You talk unnecessarily.”

In one second, her sweetness became a mad woman. She rolled her eyes and suddenly walked away from me. Mood swings. I grabbed my knife and placed it in the bag.

“I’m leaving.” I put the brown shoulder bag.

“Go to hell.” I heard her whispering.

“What the heck is your problem?” I emphasized those words while my forehead was formed waves.

“Get out of my sight.” She stood up recklessly and marched towards the door. She shut it loudly and locked the door.

I rolled my eyes for the second time. I glimpsed at Colden, he shoo his head.

“What’s her problem?”

“You have a problem, not her.” Colden leaned his back on the sofa. “Try to be romantic sometimes?”

“Romantic.” The sarcasm was in my tone. “We’re not lovers.”

“What do you call to cuddling on the bed? If you don’t like her…” He stood up, facing me an inch. “I’ll steal her.”

“She’s yours…” I turned my back at him, “after the agreement.”

I felt the suffocation in my chest as if it could kill me. Admittedly, I said the freaking words without even meaning it.

I don’t like her either.

My feet stuck on the ground when I heard my own heartbeat.

Why the damn it’s beating like on the race?
