Chapter 210
THE VERY SPECIAL PART
PYRO’S POV
“Pyro!” Fira was shouting so loud as she was holding my hand. I averted my look. I could see how painful she was dealing with it.
Our second child was now going out. Fira was struggling so much. It felt like I was gradually killing inside. I waited for a long time to finally see my son.
Damn. It’s a Prince!
I gazed at Fira. She was bathing in sweat. Her face was pale in color. Her hands were shaking. “Did you… see it, Dearest?” Even if she was so tired. She asked me that question.
“Yeah.” I slightly nodded my head. “He’s so… adorable.” I did not mind if my tears were crawling into my cheek. My hands were shaking as the doctor placed the baby into my arms. “He looks… like me.”
I was sobbing. These were the tears of joy. My lips were quaking as I slowly caressed the cheek of our little angel. He never cried, but a good thing, his eyes were opened. We saw that he is alive.
“Does he not look like me?” The pout was on Fira’s lips. I chuckled as I brought him to her chest.
“See it with yourself.”
I felt like my heart would explode anytime. Watching Fira holding our second-born child made me cry so bad.
Who says crying is just for the weak?
Damn. They were right.
I was crying because I felt the weakening of my body due to overloading happiness spreading in my entire system. I sniffed and sniffed as I was observing how Fira smiled to our little boy. The baby raised his hands, reaching the face of her mother.
“His features… it’s so cute!” He was about to pinch the cheek of the baby. I held her hand.
“Really, Dearest? Do you want him to cry?”
“Is this your look when you were a baby?” Fira gestured for me to move closer to him, so I followed her. She pecked on my cheek.
I left no distance between our faces. I kissed her forehead down to her nose and last to her lips. “You’re amazing. My thank you would never be enough for bringing these angels to me.” My tone was full of emotions; love, admiration, adoration, care, and other cherishing feelings that I was seeing right now.
“You’re making me cry.” She wiped the tears in her cheek using the back of her left hand.
We both settled our eyes on our little one. “What’s his name?”
Fira stared at his face for so long. “Alev…” She touched his forehead with her forefinger down to his nose and his little thin red lips. “Alev for symbolizing the fire.”
I froze when the blue flame was written on his cute tiny hands. I could not believe it. He was having a blue flame. When I was about to touch his chin, he caught my hand and held it. He gazed at my eyes as if he knew that I was his father.
There was no thing that could have priced my feelings at the moment. It was overloading in the sense of contentment and merriment.
I guess I will not sleep for about a month now. I would just stare at my beloved Fira and our newborn baby. It was soothing to reminisce about how long we traveled, how many struggles we faced, but at the end of everything, we were here, standing strong for our… endless love.
“Lower your heads for the coming in of the Prince Fire!” The speaker was loudly announced. We all bowed our heads.
Fire years have quickly passed. Ember was now nine years old and Alev was five years old. Today was the most awaited day for all of us.
It’s Alev’s birthday. At the same time, coronation for the prince.
The stretch in my lips was almost ripping due to a full-pack smile, especially when the hall opened. We welcomed the little boy who was now walking on the red carpet. He was wearing trousers, leggings, cloaks, and a tunic. All had a symbol of the blue flame.
“His Royal Highness, Prince of the Alpha King of Fire!” The announcer’s voice echoed in the whole place.
I peeked at my little prince. He was so adorable with his new clothing. He gazed at me. He did not bother to smile or what. The annoyance was written on his expression. I thought he was having a bad night. He did not want anyone to distract him from sleeping. Today, he needed to wake up as early as possible. I remembered myself when I was his age. I used to love sleeping, too. This was not surprising.
When he reached the end in front of the hall. “Rise.”
We all chinned up at him. The minister gave him a line to say before the celebration formally started.
“It’s too long.” He whispered as he was reading the scroll.
Fira ensured that her children would grow up smart and knowledgeable so she served as their teacher.
Alev raised his small e right hand, showing his palm. He looked at me. I knew that stare. He was nervous. I just gave him a small smile and nodded. Then, he started. “I… Alev Aiker. The Prince of the King Fire is reassuring that I will do my duties and responsibilities as the next Alpha King of Fire…” He paused, staring at the written letters, and then continued again. “I will serve the Elemental Kingdom for my entire years of living in this world and bring an heir that will be inherited by the next generation…”
He stopped again. “I… will perform it wholeheartedly. No hesitation… Again, I am the Prince of Alpha King of Fire… Alev Aiker.” He bowed his head as the clapping of everybody could be heard.
I am so proud.
Fira ran towards him. She hugged him so tight and kissed his cheek over and over again. “You’re the best!”
“Mama, I’m a big boy!” He was wiping his cheek with the back of his hand, removing the kiss of her mother.
I messed up his hair. “Good job, my prince.”
“Thanks, Papa. Can I sleep now?” He yawned in front of everybody. I found it cute, but informal.
“Come to grandfather!” My father grabbed Ember’s shoulder and Alev, he embraced them while the irritation was on their faces.
While they were growing up, the duties of royals were lifted on their shoulders. Ember was serious in her training.
She is the heiress of the Red Moon Pack. Alpha Janus pointed at her during the celebration of their pack last week. He never married again or looked for someone special. He was content by taking care of Ember, Alev and Fira as if he was their second father.
I am sometimes jealous. Damn it.
My brothers were still encountering obstacles in their lives. I did not want to mention it since I was just supporting them and helping them when they needed help. The Elemental King was now at peace, but I better be ready when the disaster came along in our ways. That was what life was.
“Sh*t. F*cking seems unreal!” Zephyrus walked towards me. He tapped my shoulder while looking at Alev and Ember. “You have handsome and beautiful genes.”
“You, too.” I leaned my arms on his shoulder. He was shocked while he was looking at my arm. I do not usually do this. I hated to put it at him since he was not doing any good, pure teasing.
The next thing I knew, Hali, Colden, and Raiden were also leaning their shoulders to one another. We chuckled.
During the storm, they serve as my roof, umbrella, and a hand to hold on to. Our blood is not fully the same, we are just half brothers from different packs.
But our hearts are connected more than siblings.
I held the waist of Fira. I glued our faces and kissed her in front of everyone. This heart would pound like this when she did not come into my life.
“Can I tell you a secret?” The grin on my lips was formed.
“Go on.”
“You’re included in my dream list and it’s now checked.”
Fira laughed loudly as her cheeks were turning red. It was funny though. However, it would not matter as long as I made her smile.
“And another secret.” I peck on her lips before I walked towards the piano. I gestured to Ember and Alev to sit in front of it. I started to hit one key and they followed. We sang a song for Fira and this time, I created a song for her. I finished a song for her.
“In the middle of the dark…There is you. Standing. Smiling. Glowing.
When the world is fading. There is you… Gazing. Twinkling. Beaming.
You are like sparkling stars. Beautiful in the eyes.
When the moment gets tough. There is you.
Holding my hands and never letting me go.
Hey, Dearest. You’re the star that I reached. You’re my universe.
You’re a dream comes to reality.”
Tears well up in her eyes. Hearing the voice of our two children was soothing to my heart. I have been composing this for almost a year and it has now ended. When she sobbed because of happiness, I sobbed too. What she felt was what I felt. My chest was pounded with the merriment that lingered in my heart.
“You’re the best and promise the last.
You’re the fixer when everything is a mess.
You’re the shine that never pales.
You’re beautiful like the sky in my gaze.”
I stood up as the piano was still played by Ember and Alev. “If you open my heart. There is you.” I whispered those words. I was telling her that she was the most important person in my world.
She buried her face on my chest. I let her wet my king’s garment with her tears. This is what I want to see.
To see her crying because of too much happiness.
Maybe our story ended here. Showing to all that we had a perfect and complete family. Exhibiting joy, the only content of our hearts, mind, and souls.
I adore her like how the sun rises.
I admire her like the waves in the ocean.
I have loved her my entire life and I will never stop loving her.
Because she is my great love.
She is my Dearest…
I wish my story would put a smile on your lips and give hope to your heart.
Yours truly,
Alpha King of Fire
“Pyro. That’s my name.”

ALPHA KING OF WATER
Excerpt~
ZARYA’S POV
“Why are you hiding?”
My eyes widened as I viewed King Water sitting on the big rock. He was behind me. When I faced him, he stared at my boobs.
“Nice breast.”
I covered my private parts. I forgot. I was completely naked due to shifting from wolf to human.
The tears immediately rolled from my eyes. “Please help me. They killed my family.”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
His eyebrow knitted. “Sure, but I don’t help without an exchange. What can you offer?”
I looked down, facing the grass. I had nothing to pay back. What should I do?
“Ah?” He walked closer to me. “You’ve nothing to give?”
A silence filled the air. He touched my chin, moved my head up, and stared at my face for so long. “You can…” He gazed at my feet, going up to my chest, “propose your body. What do you think?”
The end…
