Alpha King of Water

THE SYMBOL OF ICE

ZARYA’S POV

I quaked my head to the left and right direction as I was gesturing ‘no’ to him. He had no knowledge about combat. In the very beginning, he would probably be knocked out. I gazed at Hali and his brothers, I was hoping that they would get what was inside my head.

Higher King Arealdo stared at Khal, he examined his features. He even moved nearer to him while looking down on his feet to his face. “And how did that happens? Zakan only has two children: Zarya and Zaiden.”

“Pardon me to speak, His Majesty.” Khalbrought down his head down as his way of respect to the Higher King.

“Given.” He spoke up, giving permission to Khal to speak.

“When Zakan Wixx was in the Black Wolves Pack in the East, he… met my mom, Khareena Gasper. By that time, He was married to Zarina Eleonora, Zarya’s mother, but they had no child. My father had to prove his loyalty to Alpha Jackas to completely embrace him in the pack, he… took my mother as a symbolization of his unity to them.” It was obvious that Khal had difficulty telling the stories of how he was born of how he was created.

“Permission to talk, Your Majesty.” I interrupted the gaze of Higher King Oswald to him. H just nodded as he accepted my words. “I am stating that what he said is purely authentic.”

“Then, Khal Wixx is permitted to join The Battle Of The Next Beta.”

I blew a frustrated air. This would not happen if the Elemental ALpha Kings would say ‘Not Permitted.’ My eyes went to Hali, I was asking help for him. He was the first one to stand up. My entire world was ripped when he spoke. “Zarya Wixx and Khal Wixx permitted to join The Battle Of The Next Beta.”

Raiden shut his eyes hard as he stood up and forced himself to talk. “Permission granted.”

Zephyrus looked away at me, hard to spell out, but he still managed to say a word. ” “Permission… granted.”

Pyro gazed at my eyes and then at Khal, his emotion was purely blank. “Permission granted.”

Colden stared at me and then at Khal, he shook his head as he said. ” “Permission refused.” He moved his head down as the whisper echoed in the Sacred Hall Room.

“Higher your chin!” King Oswald irritated him. “The reason for your refusal.”

He bit his lips as he moved his head up. A king should always be confident. A king must always be brave. A king should always have a reason for refusal. Colden bit his lips and gazed at me.

“I don’t wanna lose Zarya.” Colden’s voice was so low. His emotion was like broken pieces of glass, hurting.

“She’s never been yours.” Hali’s voice was in a low tone, not shouting, just saying what was the content of his head.

“I refused and I will always refuse the proposal of Zarya Wixx and Khal Wixx.” Colden stood bravely. “I have never been fought for my life and you all know that.” He cleared his throat, and his adam’s apple moved up and down. “I don’t meet my mate yet, can I marry Zarya?”

My mouth left apart. I was so surprised. I could imagine myself in level 1 today, it seemed that it would not happen.

“What’s your aga, Zarya?” Higher King Oswald asked me.

I held too much air. I was removing the tension in my chest. The only sound I heard was my grasping of air and blowing it out. When I had the strength, I spoke. “18 years of age… Your Majesty.”

King Oswald nodded. His eyes were thinking of the right decision. “Zakan Wixx was the Great Beta of the Elemental Kingdom.” He walked upstairs, going back to his exclusive chair. “His heroic act is written in the book and should be rewarded by giving one of his kids royal blood. The Higher King has the right to do that… However, if one of the Alpha Kings claims, it will be possible.”

“Chapter 53, page 450, states that the daughter or son has the right to accept or refuse the reward, Father,” Raiden responded to his lines. The hall was full of tension, the coldness of my sweat was felt as it dripped down from my forehead down to the side portion of my face.

“But it’s… embarrassment if she will decline the reward, right? Her future offspring will be royal.” Higher King’s gaze at me was making my knee tremble. I felt like I was in the middle of two stones. Hali’s eyes were not on me, he was avoiding my stare.

“Permission to speak, Higher King.” I raised my hand. I held plenty of air, taking all my strength together before I said. “I accept the reward, if only… I passed The Battle Of The Beta.”

“Is she serious?”

“She’s giving the right option, but she chooses to be in the battle.”

“She so insane.”

“She’s wasting an opportunity.”

The whispers were getting louder and louder, but I had no care at all. I never live just to be the wife of one of them. I live to be a beta like my father.

“What’s your opinion, King Ice?” Higher King’s attention was placed on Colden.

“As an Alpha King Of Ice, I will wait for her to come back. I will support her decision as long as her heart’s decision is pure and sincere.” Colden started directly into my eyes. “Will you marry me?”

I panted as the pain automatically traced in my chest. My stare went to Hali, he did not even react as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

What should I do?

The silence filled the hall. They were waiting for me to say anything, but my mouth ended up in hush until I realized, Hali did not care about me, at all. He was not worth fighting for.

I cleared my throat, and the heaviness in my chest felt. “Yes…”

Colden gave me a sad smile. “Why can’t you be honest with your feeling? You can turn your back on me, you can choose… why?”

Higher King’s eyes narrowed. The curiosity was in the depths of his expression, guessing what was happening between us.

“Because it… doesn’t matter, King Ice. I will never matter to him.”

The loud sound of punch on the table suddenly echoed in the hall. Hali turned his back on all of us and then left, marched away.

“King Water!” King Oswald was giggling at him. “That bastard has nor right manner.”

“King Water!” Queen Haliana followed her while raising her big long royal blue gown.

“Queen Haliana, teach your son a good personality!” King Oswald said as the madness was on his face. He gazed at all of us. “The decision is final, If Zarya Wixx wins the Battle of the Beta, she will marry Alpha King of Ice, the mate symbol will be engraved now.”

Colden let out a sigh. “I’m sorry. The symbol is accidentally given to an unknown woman because of my monster.”

That was revealing of him. The symbol on the wrist was the most important thing for being an Alpha King. It would just be given to the mate or to the woman they love. My eyes widened when something popped inside my head.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Colden met his mate! The symbol is in her.

Accidentally, I saw Eira on the side. She was looking afraid. She also had a white handkerchief in her hand as if she was hiding something on her wrist.

She’s an omega. Poor woman. If the Elemental Kingdom found out, they will kill her, unless he got pregnant with a prince.
