Chapter 116 THE PAIN OF LEAVING

FIRA’S POV

I slept next to Janus. Luckily, he was not forcing me or what, he just slept while hugging me so tightly. If I moved a little, he immediately opened his eyes. I could see that he was looking for me so I was securing him that I would not leave him again until I rested.

When I woke up. Eira was in my room and Alpha Janus was not around. Eira brought me breakfast.

“Fira, are you sure with this?”

“Sure about?” I held the tray of food.

“Janus that you met before is not the same now. I’ll go where you want to go, but the Alpha is not the solution一” She stopped talking when we heard the opening of the door.

Janus came into the room. His face was blank. Eira bowed her head to him. “Good morning, your majesty.”

“Good morning,” Janus greeted her back with a smile on his face. He sat on the bed and then kissed me on my lips.

I managed to smile even though I did not feel it. He cared for me, giving me food and coffee. Eira was just looking at us with the worriedness in her eyes.

We spent a minute in the room to take our breakfast and then he walked out. He talked to King Oswald Arealdo about his leaving. I was about to go out, but the guards were securing us. Alpha Janus ordered them to prohibit us from going out.

We stayed in the room for the whole day until Janus came back. He ordered some of the guards to fix our things. He was hurrying. Janus grabbed my shoulder and we walked to the hallway.

I looked around with sadness in my eyes. Do I really need to leave the Elemental Kingdom? This is my place since I was young. I grew up here. It was hard for me to go.

Janus was encircling his arms to me while in my other hand, I was holding Eira. In the hallway, I saw Cass, that was why I stopped for a moment. She hugged me so tight.

“Keep yourself safe, okay?” I stroked her hair while the tears were flooding into my cheek.

“Double time, Fira.” Janus grabbed my waist to move away from Cass. “You can visit my pack. You’re welcome there.”

Cass lowered his head on him. “Thank you, your majesty.”

“Just tell me so I’ll send my people to fetch you.” Janus was not gazing at her. I guessed that he was having a pity on my friend, that was why instead of looking at her, he was averting his eyes.

I believed. I strongly believe that my friend will come back. I am scared of the man holding me now.

“Thank you so much, your majesty.” Cass sob became loud.

I prohibited myself from glancing at her. She is the good friend I never had. She needs someone to take care of her, especially now that I am gone for good.

I held her hand, but Janus was pulling me away from her. She was sobbing so bad. Our hand slowly slipped. I watched her cry out at the top of her lungs.

We arrived outside, the carriage was waiting for us. I was looking at the entrance of the Elemental Kingdom. I was hoping that Pyro would stop me from leaving, but sad to say, no one was there even his brothers. He did not even find me after disappearing that night. I sniffed as I prohibited the rolling of the liquid from my nose. Janus held my hand and then supported me to go inside the carriage. Next was my sister. Eira held my hand compactly as she was staring at the entrance of the Elemental Kingdom, like me. It was difficult for her to leave the kingdom, too, because of King Ice, but she was doing this for our family. There were a lot of things that happened in this place, we should move forward.

I gave my final glance at the Elemental Kingdom. My eyes widened as I saw that the guards were holding the arms of King Ice.

Crap!

I looked at Eira, she was looking straight, trying to ignore Colden, but her eyes did not lie, the liquid was rolling from it.

“Eira!” He ran as fast as he could. The guards were chasing him. I could see how painful it was for him, I was envious when I felt the ache in his heart. Pyro was not there, he did not even know that I was going far. “Eira!” Suddenly, there was the formation of Ice, blocking our way. The carriage stopped. I stared at Janus' face, he looked annoyed.

“Eira!” King Ice was now in front of the carriage, spreading his arms. “Why are you f*cking leaving me!”

Eira managed to ignore him. She did not even give him a glance.

“Go back, King Ice.” Janus’ voice was irritating. “We’re hurrying. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of Eira.”

“I don’t need your freaking! I can take care of her!” Colden was creating snowballs at his hand. At first, it was just small, but eventually, he was making it a huge circular ball. “I’ll ruin the carriage if you don’t come out!”

“Go to hell!” Eira finally talked. She came down to the carriage and looked at him. “Why are you creating a scene! You should go and fulfill your duty as a king of Ice Pack!”

“Wow?” He bursted a sigh of disbelief. He threw the snowball at his side. “Your mind is freaking disarranged! Are you not still believing me?”

He held Eira’s hand, but Eira removed it. “Listen! I’m not doing this for me, it’s for the sake of my family. My mother taught us to be together at all times. That’s the value that we treasure. And…” She looked away. “You’re a king. Our differences are far apart. I am just omega! A servant!”

“I don’t care!”

The tears in my eyes welled up as I heard the same line coming from the mouth of Colden. Pyro was saying that every time I was talking about our ranks.

But where is he now?

“I care!” Eira shouted. “I can’t lose my family just because of the stupid feeling I have for you! Sorry.” She turned her back, she began to walk towards the carriage, but Colden hugged her at the back.

“Please…I need you.” Colden rested his face on Eira's shoulder. In the long period of time that I knew him, I would never expect that he could be serious in terms of women.

“You just need me, not love me.” Eira removed his hand. “Farewell, your majesty.”

At least, Eira could say goodbye to him. Unlike me, even glance, I did nothing. I glimpsed on the window.

See you when I see you, Dearest.
