Chapter 8
HIS SHOUT
ZARYA’S POV
My eyes produce tears. It condensed at the corner. King Water was so ruthless.
Did he just kiss me recklessly without my permission in front of some guards and his brothers?
I looked down at the hand that was holding my elbow. My head raised up at the feature of King Fire. The pain in my heart melted as he gazed at my face. “You, okay?”
I could not speak. I felt like my tongue was cut.
Is this a dream? King Fire was supporting me to stand straight.
He did not know how much I admired him. He was a kind of King who was just silent and his silence made my heart pound aggressively.
I gasped for air. I was giving myself the courage to open my mouth. “I’m… good.”
He nodded his head. “Don’t walk closer again towards him. He’ll just hurt you.” After saying those words, he turned his back and walked away from me.
Is he concerned with me?
I watched him, marching away from me. Luckily, he was there to catch me. If I was unfortunate, maybe I was laying on the floor now with the bruise on my body.
That King Water was just like the pack that killed my family. If only I had no agreement with him. I might have sought help from King Fire or to the other Kings over him.
“Miss!”
I bowed my head when I viewed that King Wind was approaching. “Yes, your Majesty?”
“Sorry.”
I moved up as the shock in my face was visible. Sorry for what? I was about to open my mouth when he continued. “Sorry for the bad attitude of my brother. Don’t worry. I’ll talk to him.”
Just like that, he left me too, like the wind who had just passed by. When I was a kid, I heard rumors about the kings. They did not come near to an ordinary rank, especially to low born. They were prohibited from talking to us by his father.
My perception was different from what people believed. Not all of them were ruthless, I thought it was just Hali. I once saw King Lightning and King Ice, their aura was not dark. They were like an approachable person. Well, unlike the devil King Water!© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
I wish he found someone who would make him turn into a tame beast. Maybe he fell in love.
How would he love someone? He does not deserve to meet his mate.
“This is ridiculous,” I whispered as I kicked a small rock that was spreading at the ground. He told me about training.
Scammer!
The grimace was visible in my face as my thighs moved apart. I could feel my flesh down there. It was hurting me. So bad. It was like something was ripping or pumping in an ache.
“Zarya.”
I faced my back as the old woman showed up. “Go with me.”
“Huh? Why?”
She gave me a small smile. “I’m Amelia, the personal maid of King Water. He ordered me to get you.” She turned around. “Don’t make him wait.”
That was ridiculous. King Water left me here and then he would order someone to get me? Wow! He is completely out of his mind.
I followed her with the annoyance in my face. That man was dangerous and I should not have come near him, but what should I do? I was already here.
Amelia dragged me to his chamber. King Water was sitting on his swivel chair as the big black headphone was on his ear. When he saw us, he removed it and settled his look to me. I was just wondering why Amelia did not know or she probably knew that King Water would not hear her even though she hit the door loudly.
“No coverings.” King Water had full of authority in his voice.
I backed away as Amelia unbuttoned my clothes. “Hey, what are you doing?” I hugged myself as my eyes were widening. The fear was crawling all over my body.
“Would you let her or I’ll do that?” Hali’s forehead was furrowed.
“Sorry, Your Majesty. What did I do to be punished like this?”
I could see the irritation at Hali’s expression. It felt like he was so bored and impatient with me.
“Are you questioning my order?” Hali stood up, he was about to approach me when Amelia blocked me.
“Your Majesty, she will strip with her own. Please don’t hurt her.” Amelia lowered her head on him.
I gasped for air as she looked at me with a nod as if she was telling me to obey him or else he would hurt me. I swallowed my saliva as I was removing the bonding of my buttons to the clothes. I was sobbing as I was doing it. I left my underthings.
“I said no coverings!”
I jumped in shock when he shouted. My sob was becoming loud. I touched the hook of my bra at the back and let it drop on the floor.
“You’re so slow. When I shout again, I swear your clothes will be ripped!” Hali went back to his swivel chair while glaring at me. As if I had made a huge mistake at him. “Give her the glass. After that, get out, Amelia.”
“I’ll do that, King Water.” Amelia walked to the side table and offered me the glass which had a content of herbs, it was green in color and seemed bad in taste. I did not hand it. I was just staring at it with dread spreading throughout my body. “Please drink this.”
I shook my head. I did not know the content of that liquid. I cried with my heart out. I was so afraid, my knee was trembling.
“Bullsh*t! You’re taking all of my patients!” Hali marched towards me. Amelia immediately located his body in my front. I hid behind her while I was sobbing so loud.
“Your Majesty, she will drink it. Let’s just give her a second.” Amelia was pleading to her.
Hali gazed at me with the giggling on his jaw. “If you didn’t drink that. You’ll get pregnant, Motherf*cker!”
I was in shock. I looked at the glass of herbs. So it was the medicine to avoid the baby?
Hali blew air as he went back to his chair. He glanced at me. “Don’t be stubborn. You have no one. You’re living in the kingdom… If you don’t take my command… You better go.” He placed the headphone in his ear.
I slowly held the glass. I managed to calm myself to stop crying. “Just listen to him. Believe me… you’ll never hear him shout again.” Amelia whispered to me as she was watching me gulping the liquid. The bitter taste of herbs drew in my throat.
Before Amelia went out, she said, “Remove your panties. Don’t make him mad.”
