Chapter 76
FULL MOON IV
PYRO’S POV
I have never been content in my entire life. I felt like I was not enough for anyone, for the pack, for my brothers, for myself. I was aiming for more because the dread of losing everyone was consuming me.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
But by Fira’s side, I am no more to wish for. I found the perfection that would never fade. I found the light that would never disappear. I discovered how it felt to be with someone, with someone who could always listen to me. I found a best friend on behalf of Fira. I appeared not to be a king, but just Pyro, an ordinary werewolf who was afraid of losing anybody in his life. Afraid of disappointment, Fira made me realize that I had no control of everything.
What happened was not my mistake. I should accept that it was a life. Life has flaws.
I was staring at her face while she was wiping her hair from his cheek to the side of her ear. She was smiling like a goddess of beauty, like the only perfect thing in this world.
“You’re the most beautiful view that I look for,” I whispered. That was just enough to be heard by me. I was too weak to share my thoughts with her.
“Really?”
I wanted to face palms. I forgot that she already met her wolf form. That was why her hearing was higher than normal. I should just say that in my head.
Damn.
“Yeah.” I went in front of her, making her eyes widened. “I wanna show something to you.”
“What’s that? Oh, come on! Don’t tell me there are crocodiles here? Or a swimmer snake? Or… Crap!” She covered her mouth as she moved his head up.
The fireflies formed a happy emoji face above my head. That made Fira smile widely. She jumped again. I averted my look at her.
I said don’t jump. She was stubborn.
“I want them to form like my face.” She put her hand on the chin and then showed me her most radiating smile ever with matching blinking of the eyes.
So cute.
“I don’t know if they can.” I raised up my hand and then commanded them. They started to work hard to copy the face of Fira. I needed more of them so I called the other from the nearest distance. We watched them as if they were talking about where to locate themselves.
“Oh, poor babies! Is it so hard to draw my face in you?” Fira showed them that she was sad, causing the fireflies to move as fast as they could. In just a second, they formed well.
“Wow!” Her mouth was almost ripped off due to its wide opening. “Look, Pyro! It looks like me! It’s me! Crap!” She was so happy that was why he moved closer to my cheek and kissed it. “Thank you, Dearest!”
Dearest? Did I hear her right? She called me Dearest? My endearment to her?
She stepped faster to the fireflies, she was using her index finger to touch them and then she would chuckle. “They’re adorable!” She tiptoed, annoying them and then she would laugh if they messed up and then went back to the lines to where her face drew. “Pyro, can I bring them home?”
“No. This is where they live. They don’t want to be away from their family.”
“Okay.” She watched them, the sparkling never gone. She was gazing at them while I glued my eyes to her, from her eyes, nose and lips.
Every day her beauty never lessened, every time passed it was getting more and more attractive to me.
I moved closer and then fixed the hair blocking her face. I gave her a small smile as I held her hand, intertwining mine. If she was not unclothed. I would bury my face on her neck to hug her. Now, I was keeping my distance to avoid disrespecting her. I did not want her to think that I was taking advantage.
No. It just happened once. I just want to know if she would let me undress her that time and I was successful, meaning she was not treating me as a predator. She trusted me more than I expected.
I was not like Hali and Zephyrus, making love is always something to do with a heart. It is giving to the person we love, not to everyone. My mother told me that.
She loved King Arealdo even though she is not her only queen.
“Are you thinking of me?” Fira showed me how gorgeous her stretched lips were. She raised our hands and then kissed mine.
“I was thinking of you while you’re in front of me. Funny, right? My whole system was only occupied by you.” I grabbed our fuse hands and then kissed it like what she did before.
She brought my hand on her cheek and closed her eyes. I was curious what she was thinking. My mouth wanted to ask what was running into her mind, but I prohibited myself to do that.
“Did you know the legend of the full moon to the lover?”
“It was not true. It was just a story for a kid. My mother spent the night with King Arealdo when it was a full moon, look at them now.”
“It’s somehow true. They’re still together.”
I rose up my two eyebrows. I realized that all my beliefs were a mistake. She was right. My mother and the king never separated ways. From the moment I was born, they were with each other.
Fira viewed the moon. I could see in her eyes that she was wishing. I joined her. I looked at it. If only I could command to tie me with Fira forever, I should do that. But still… my wish is all for her safety.
Make us together even if I am sitting on my throne in the future. I want Fira as my queen if that would be possible.
Unluckily, it would never happen because of our ranks.
“Pyro.”
I looked down on her because she was smaller than me. “Hmm?”
“I wish you can find the real queen who can be with your side even in difficulties. I hope you will love her and your love will make the two of you bond for a lifetime.”
I shut my mouth. I would not want to burst any words. The real thing was I wanted to ask her.
Can you love me for a lifetime? Or can you still keep that love for our next life?
I hope I am not a king in my reincarnation if that is real. I wish I am just a simple human living with Fira, creating a happy complete family.
My world now is not created for the two of us. I am willing to wait for another thousand years where the life we will share belongs to each other.
