Alpha King of Fire

A FRIENDLY KISS

FIRA’S POV

I should not look. I should not let myself be in pain. I should turn around and walk away. I should burst out crying. I should leave them.

But I decided to stay.

All of my sacrifices would be in vain. My aching bodies, my sleepless nights, all of those were just garbage because the truth was already in front of me. There were no tears. This was what Hali trained me to be.

To be a strong woman despite my low rank. Pyro and the Princess enjoying the kiss. I closed my eyes and thought that all of this was just a dream, but when I opened my eyes, the reality was poking me.

Reality sucks. I am a crap.

I did not sob at the moment, I watched them instead. Reminding myself where my place was, that I should ease my illusion about me and him loving each other.

“If you have a choice, would you want him to feel the same pain?”

I gazed up on Hali, his face was staring at them, the arms were folded as usual. His eyes were saying nothing, but a spark of a concerned friend like how Zephyrus looked at me.

I cleared my throat, gasped for air. I did not notice that II forget to breathe. The pain was severe, I would black out at any moment.

“Fira, again… Would you want him to feel the pain you’re dealing with right now?” Hali stared at me. I could not read what was running into his head.

I tried not to cry. Not to sob, but I ended up silently sobbing. “Yes.”

My whole body trembled as Hali went in front of me, held my waist, and kissed me so freaking hard. The tears from my eyes were streamed. I closed my eyes as the continuous stab at my heart intensified. I was just thinking that this was just a friendly kiss.

A friendly kiss.

Does a friend kiss at the lips?

I did not respond. No. I would not want to!

I shut my mouth to avoid the sound of my sobs. He cupped my cheek and moved his lips.

In an instant, there was a fist landed on his cheek. He dropped at the ground.

Pyro was looking at him so badly. “Get up, Bastard!”

Hali smirked at him. “Are you pertaining to yourself?”

Pyro marched towards him with a fire in his body. I went in front of Hali and blocked him. “Don’t you enjoy the kiss?” I raised my one eyebrow. I clenched my fist and glared at him so sharply. The fire in his body slowed down. He did not speak or what. He just looked at me. “Lovers never betray each other.”

“But you betrayed me, Fira.” Pyro clenched his jaw, he looked down to Hali. “I can’t call you brother anymore.” He turned his back, he walked, and then stopped when he heard me talking.

“How does it feel to see your dearest kissing another man? Would it pain you? Like how I…feel?” The tears did not stop dripping from my face. I felt that I could not breathe anymore.

“No.” He faced me with his red eyes, the tears were condensing at the corner of his eyes. “It’s more than pain.” He looked down. I watched the rolling of the liquid at his pointed nose. “It kills me.”

That made me burst into crying. I was out of words, all I wanted was just to gather myself together and shouted. I did not know that love was too painful. As I gazed at Pyro, he seemed to be dealing with himself. Dealing with the most heartbreaking part of loving me.

So do I.

“I don’t want to…” His face flooded by the liquid, “be with you anymore.”

My mouth burst open as the sound of my sobs covered the area. I glared at him, pulled all the strength that I had, and said, “I’m cursing to be with you, your majesty.” I bowed my face. “I hate you to the bone.”

Pyro bit his lips. He pointed at my wrist and suddenly, the symbol was on his hands. “You don’t deserve the symbol.” He faced the Princess and I was surprised when in the blink of an eye, it went to her.

“A piece of sh*t.” Hali stood up. “You started, D*mbass! Okay! Great! You gave it to her. That is better than the engraving on Fira’s wrist. She can live normally. She can live without training! She can live without threats in her life! She will be happier.” Hali paused, grabbed my hand, and pulled me away. Before we walked away, he left him a word. “I hope…regret will not hunt you.”

We stepped as fast as we could, far from Pyro. Far from my king. Far from my former mate. Far from the love of my life.

I was startled when I saw Zarya in front of us, looking at Hali with his blank expression. “A God of Liar was born.”

Crap. This is a tornado!

Zarya was Hali’s love of his life. Zephyrus once told me that lately he was not sleeping with another woman and he was guessing that Zarya was the apple of his cupcake. That was exactly what he said.

Zarya moved closer to Hali and kicked his ass. Hali bent down, preventing his hands from touching his sensitive part.

The guilt was filling my system. I only caused trouble to the kings because they were protecting me. Last time, it was Raiden. He and the Luna Queen Adhira argued because of me and now, Hali was in trouble because he saved my crap from Pyro.

Maybe I should move away from them. I only bring disaster.

Zarya walked away from us. I looked at Hali, he was now recovered from the pain.

“Sorry.”

Hali shook his head. “You don’t need to apologize. It’s my choice to help you. if Zarya loves me, she’ll forgive and understand.”

“But still… you hurt her. You scar the heart of Zarya, even if you flip the world you made her feel bad.” I looked down, feeling so sad.

“Well…what do you think of her reaction?”

I looked up, knitted my forehead. “What? She is in pain.”

“And jealous?” A smirk formed on his lips. He chuckled as he held my wrist. “Now I know that our feelings are mutual.”

“Did you just make her jealous?”This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“A kiss has a purpose.” He winked at me. “Just remember… it’s a kiss from a friend. No meaning at all.”

In a blink of an eye, the pain in my heart disappeared. Hali was making me chuckle. “A friend never kiss at the lips.”

He shrugged his shoulders. “It does to us.”

I could feel the igniting of my cheek, causing him to laugh.

“Oh, come on, Fira. We didn’t f*ck!”

“Hey! Your mouth!” I followed him, going inside the kingdom.
