Alpha King of Fire

A PERFECT DREAM

FIRA’S POV

Eira and I ran to the bed excitedly. Father had a huge smile on his face while walking towards us. He positioned his body in the middle of us and we both hugged him so tight. When we were kids, sometimes the family would sleep in the same bed even if we had no space. Eira was falling to the ground and we laughed so hard. Even though we were old now, it was still fun to be in this kind of scene, especially when father came from the slavery. We did not see him for a month.

‘”I feel that I am 9 years old again.” Eira chuckled as she organized the pillow of our father.

“I’m so glad to have my princesses now. I thought I’ll not going out of the Slavery. We must be so grateful to Alpha. We’re now together and no one can separate us.” Dad tightly held my hand and Eira’s hand.

I felt touched by the situation. That was why I was emotional. I was unaware that the tears welled up from my eyes.

“My babies are fearless and I am so proud of you too! Your mother must be proud, too!” He went to my forehead and then kissed it. After that, he moved to Eira and then touched his forehead with his lips.

The pain had no room in my chest now. This was what my dream’s content. To be with my father and sister again. Since we were assigned to become an Omega of the Kingdom, we forgot to value a family like what Mom always said. I could still remember the lesson. It is okay to not be okay when the family sticks together, everything would come into place again.

Somehow, that is true.

All night, we just talked about what happened for months. Of course, we did not open the topic about my relationship with King Fire and Eira’s relationship with King Ice. I could still see in my mind how Colden cried while pleading to Eira to stay. If father knew about me and Pyro, his mind would change about marrying the Alpha. I knew him, what was important for him was my happiness and he would not choose the things that would make me suffer.

When they fell asleep, I looked at their faces. My eyes glued at my father. I stroked his hair as my way of love for him. I was so glad that I could now hold him like this. I watched the moving of his chest, it went up and down, meaning he was sleeping deeply.

I sat on the bed while looking at the light coming from the window. The moon was shining brightly in our room.

How’s Pyro? Did he know that I left the Elemental kingdom? Did he find me? Did he cry?

I was wondering what he was doing now. Suddenly, the pain in my heart continued to stab me in combination with the stinging sensation. I held my chest because I could not hold back the tears anymore.

“Fira?”

I stopped for a bit when I saw that father sat down and comforted me by caressing my back, moving his hand in an up and down direction. “Why are you crying?” He wiped the liquid on my cheek, but no matter how many times he removed it, nothing happened. The tears continued to produce from my eyes and then rolled to my face until it flooded.

“I am?” I had difficulties in talking. My chest moved up and down as I grabbed air to sustain my lungs. “I’m missing Mom.” I lied, but somehow it was half-true. My mind was filled with the happy memories of Pyro. I would not see him again.

“Shhh. It’s okay. She’s always here.” He pointed at his chest and then gave me a sad smile. “When she died, I never felt alone because I have you! You and Eira! Your features look like her. Every time I miss her匢 look at you.” He held both of my cheeks. “You only need to look in the mirror.”

My heart pained more as I remembered my mom. It was my fault why I could not save her. Until now, I am blaming myself.

“Remember that when there is a rain-”

“There’s a rainbow!” I chuckled as I continued what he said. Mom kept reminding us of that line every time the situation was hard.

That means in every struggle, there is relief. The problem will not last forever. It will just pass. All we need to do is to be patient and stand straight with confidence that we can do it.

Dad comforted me the whole time as if I was still his baby girl. Well… I am the baby, the younger daughter so it was not a big deal if I acted one.

He sang a song to me while tapping my upper arm. He was watching me until my eyes became heavy. I blinked three times to fight the drowsiness, but it was too strong so I let my eyes slowly shut.

I felt that he fixed the blanket, spreading it to my body while still humming like he was making a baby to sleep.

I saw Pyro inside my head. For sure, I would dream about him since he was the last person that came into my mind before sleeping.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

In my dream, we were happy, running together in the garden. I was wearing a white dress while he was just wearing a simple polo shirt like an ordinary man. His smile was priceless. His laugh was filling my ear and that was the best music that I had heard.

He is handsome. He always is.

When he caught me, he hugged me from the back and put his chin on my shoulder while kissing my cheek.

That is perfect.

Everywhere I looked, it was wonderful. The variety of flowers. The yellow butterflies were flying, spreading around. The smell of roses. The grass on our feet. The dancing trees. The cold wind that embraced my body. The birds were singing.

Pyro…

I was hoping that I lived in my dream forever, but it would never be a dream if I did not wake up from that world.

When I opened my eyes, reality hit me. Janus was at my side, smiling at me.

“Good morning.”
