Chapter 119 THE RED MOON PACK

FIRA'S POV

"Welcome to my pack, Fira and Eira." Janus gave us a small smile.

I could see how accommodating the people were. They were greeting us, whoever we walked with. Eira was smiling so wide as if she was truly glad, but the truth was the pain covering her chest.

"Alpha." I called Janus and held his shoulder. "Where's my father?"

He pointed to the house that was composed of wood. It was just ordinary like our house beside the Elemental Kingdom.

"Can I go there?"

He just nodded, and then his attention went to his people, greeting them and asking for the status of their living when he was gone.

"Father?" I opened the door. Eira was with me, holding my hands. My eyes widened when I saw him, walking towards us with his newly cut hair, clean brown long sleeves and black plants.

We ran towards him like when we were young. We were doing this when he came from the Mining Area, holding a present to us or a food. My chest filled with brightness when I hugged him so tight. Me was on my left side, Eira was on the right. It has been a long time since I saw my family complete.

As I looked down on the side table, I saw our picture, and my mom's beautiful face. I was not wrong by choosing to start again with them.

"Eyrom, how's your new house?"

We gazed at our back and saw Janus. He had a huge handsome smile on his lips. That smile made me fall for him a long time ago. If he did not disappear or I continued seeing him, possibly I am still in love with him right now. Unluckily, it was before. Pyro is my Dearest now and hoping I would stop missing him.

"It's awesome!" My father walked faster towards him. He put his arm on his shoulder. "Thank you, Ja—Alpha. For all you've done for us."

"Don't mention it. I can still remember your help, too, when I was starving at the Mining Area." Janus tapped his shoulder. "Good to see you okay now. By the way...don't call me Alpha. You are an exemption."

"Oh, no, no! You should be acknowledged! You're the best warrior now!" My father looked at me. "My daughter, Fira. You meet her, don't you?"

Janus formed a small smile on his lips. "I...brought Fira here like what you said. And I…" He averted his look, blowing air. "I will marry her if you let us?"

My heart pumped recklessly. I suddenly grabbed Eira's hand. My sweat became cold. I was aware that this moment would come, but still I could not absorb what was happening. I mean, Janus told me about this. Being his wife, Luna of the Red Moon Pack. I was grateful, if only my heart belonged to him.

Why is it hard to bring back the feelings for him? I once admired him. I once felt the thrill just by his presence. I was once affected by his smile and features. I onced loved him and was sure about what I sensed.

But everything changed, even the beat of my heart. It only says Pyro. The King Fire.

"Oh?" Dad stared at my face. "Alpha, it's not my decision. Yes, I'm giving you permission as his father, but it's up to Fira. If she loves you then…" He gasped an air and blew it out, "you can marry her."

I was touched by my father's words. I had knowledge that Janus helped us a lot. By that, he could say marry her without asking me, but he still stood for my freedom to choose.

"I understand. Fira and I talked about this. She's willing to serve me as his husband." Janus lines were like cold water thrown to my body.

I said my 'yes' to him. I should stand for it or else my sister and father would be in danger. He was holding them now, under his protection and he could also cause trouble whenever he wanted.

Dad gazed at my face. He had a big question mark on his face, asking me if I already said that to him. I managed to make a beautiful wide genuine smile on my lips, so they could not recognize that it was fake.

"Yeah! We talked about that!" I ignored the look of Eira. I marched towards Janus, and held his arm. "We'll get…" I ease the blockage in my throat and continued, "married."

"When is the wedding?" I could see the true happiness in my father's eyes.

"As soon as possible." Janus wrapped his arms on my shoulder and kissed my head. "We'll get everything organized first."

I felt that my soul went out of my body.

Is marrying Janus a bad choice? Crap. I need to work hard to love him again so my actions would be normal.

"I prepared food. Let's eat!" I saw the energy in my father. I got those attitudes of him, blabby and funny.

How can I be that Fira again? My heart left at the Elemental Kingdom.

"Listen, everyone!" Janus stood in front of his pack. They all looked at him with full respect. The ladies were glaring at me while viewing Janus' hold on my shoulder. "This is Fira Hayes, Eyrom's daughter. We're giving a bow of marriage for each other!"

The people clapped, but there were some who were not happy. I could see those women that I think were the ladies of the Alpha.

"And I'll stick with my luna. I can't take any other girl to my bed except her."

I looked up on him. I tried to show my smile. I tried! But I knew that it was obvious, it was just a pretense.

Should I be glad because I am the only woman? Or should I be scared because of what I have learned about how he takes a woman in bed?

I am still a lady and he hates female due to his mother who killed his father and attempted to murder him, too.

But you were his friend before.

My mind pushed those thoughts. We met each other before he became like this. I should hold on to the old him who showed me his kindness.

I looked around. My body trembled when I saw Carter in the middle of the crowd.
