Chapter 73
FULL MOON I
FIRA’S POV
We spent the night together, we just laughed, telling our childhood stories while holding hands. The night was wonderful, beautiful, unforgettable that would always be hidden in my heart and mind.
When the morning came, it was the start of another day, continuation of work, doing the task as an omega, but it was different. I did everything with a smile on my lips. No matter where I walked, no matter what I did. I always wore happiness because Pyro was making my day complete.
It was a busy day, preparing for the full moon. The whole day was exhausting. When the sky became black. All of us waited for the showing of the moon. The gathering was in the Quadrangle yard, near Pyro’s favorite tree.
“Tomorrow is the Kings’ Birthday.”
It was nice to hear the conversation of the guards that were far away from me.
Kings’ Birthday? Tonight would be the Introduction of the Kings’ Name and Meeting of Werewolves by all of seventeen years old like me, turning eighteen in just a week left.
The ceremony started by the marching of King Arealdo and the Five Queens from various packs. They were all bowing as they walked and then clapped silently.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
King Arealdo stood up in the middle of the crowd. “Tonight is one of the important celebrations for the Elemental Kingdom because my kings will show their identity by giving the name and showing to all of you how brave, strong and handsome they are.” King Arealdo chuckled as he said the last description. “My speech will not take long, let’s welcome the Alpha Kings!”
I bowed my head as the big smile formed in my lips. I looked straight at those kings who were now wearing a kings garment with a crown. They all looked handsome, but the only king that captivated my heart was the Alpha King of Fire.
He was looking straight, but when his eyes met me, he smiled so wide that was why the women in front of him, screaming so happily, so thrilled. They did not know that, that smile was for me.
I watched him. I was jumping into a thrill as I stared at how handsome he was. I bit my lips hard because it would possibly rip if I let it stretch widely.
I saw Zephyrus, he was waving his hand to all. What a friendly king.
Raiden was just serious, ignoring everyone as if he was a big problem that was running into his head.
Hali was fixing the garment at the wrist portion, he looked so irritable. I watched Zarya move closer to him. The guards were preventing her, but King Water ordered them to let her. So she went to him, fixed his garment and then that was the time I saw the smile that drew on him.
Colden was in a full smile as he walked with decent and royalty. He never removed the stretch on his lips, but when he saw something in the crowd, it faded. I followed what he was looking at. There she was… my sister with her new boyfriend. They were laughing like they were the happiest couple in the world when in fact, no matter how Eira showed how joyful she was, the eyes could not lie.
Ouch.
Let’s go back to my beloved Pyro. His father was tapping his back and whispering something.
“Everyone…” King Arealdo got the attention of all. Everyone went silent. What was the only sound that could be heard was the swaying of the plants in the surrounding due to the impact of air. “Let us give a plause to the Alpha King of Fire, Pyro!”
The place filled with the clap. I almost burned my hands while clapping strongly.
That’s my king!
I wanted to shout that, but it was prohibited. I wanted them to know that his symbol was in me. Again, forbidden.
“Your wish is our command, King Pyro!” We all said that with as loud as we could.
After Pyro, Hali went to his father. King Arealdo proudly presented him. “The Alpha King of Water, Hali!”
“Your wish is our command, King Hali!”
Hali just showed his grin, his eyes were only at Zarya.
After the introduction of Hali, Colden went shy in the middle. King Arealdo chuckled at his attitude. “The Alpha King of Ice, the king of the twin pack of water, Colden!”
“Your wish is our command, King Colden!” The women were whispering about their features. They had various bets. Some were to Hali, others were to Colden, I hated that many were pointing at my Pyro!
Raiden walked towards the center. King Arealdo’s smile became wider. “The Alpha King of Lightning, Raiden!”
“Your wish is our command, King Raiden!” The women were shouting so loud as if Raiden was the most handsome among them.
Well… for me, it’s my Pyro.
“And the last…” King Arealdo’s face winced as he saw Zephyrus waving his hands while swaying his hips like a worm.
“Party people! Alpha King of Wind is here! Come one, Baby Lovey Dovey-” He covered his mouth as he saw that King Arealdo was looking at him so badly. “Oh, sorry, Father.” He raised his finger to form a peace sign.
“And my most stubborn King, the Alpha King of Wind, Zephyrus!” There was no energy in King Arealdo’s voice, but Zephyrus did not care, he was still flying kisses to most of the people.
A happy king.
“Fira! Hi!” When he viewed me, he waved his hands. I wanted to open the ground and gulped because all of them were now looking at me. “She’s my best friend!” Zephyrus proudly said that.
That made everyone amused by his personality. That was true that he was approachable, funny and happy go lucky king.
But King Arealdo was not seeing the uniqueness in him, the differences of the kings because he wanted them to be like him. Smart, ruthless, demanding, had many queens and others.
They would never be like him because I can see their hearts. Their kindness. Their love for the werewolves.
Would Pyro choose his pack over me? Definitely yes. I would just be satisfied next to him because I was accepting that his people need him more than I.
“The moon is showing up!” The announcer told us.
We all looked up and watched the slowly glancing of the moon from the clouds.
I closed my eyes and wished. Every full moon our family was making a wish. We were together, watching its beauty. But now, I was alone. I was with Eira, but he was at the King Ice’s line due to the assigned area.
I miss my mom so much.
I blew a hopeful air and then started to whisper.
I hope I can see my father again. Safe and sound.
