Chapter 122 THE SECOND CHOICE

FIRA'S POV

I was running to the sink when my belly rotated. I was in the middle of sewing while I felt uneasy.

Janus was not here. They were out hunting. He brought my father, too. Everyone was busy due to the incoming wedding. It has been a week since my feeling was not well.

I held my stomach with a rotary motion when I vomited over and over again. My head was spinning. I felt that anytime I would black out.

What did I eat? What makes me like this? Am I sick?

I held my forehead as the pumping sensation felt at it. My other hand went to my stomach again.

"Fira, are you okay?" Eira touched my back, comforting me. "You've been like that since the day we came here?"

"I'm good. I'm fine. It's just—ahh!" The content of my stomach burst out. It was painful.

"Do you need a doctor? Maybe they need to check you? Wait up. I'll call—" Suddenly, she stopped from talking and looked at me intensely. "Fira, did you…"

I read what was running into her head. That was why I answered. "Yes, Eira. Me and Pyro…" I could not continue my lines when I sobbed so badly. I embraced her so tightly. "I love him. I can't help, but to give myself. If you love the person you'll give him the world, right?" I cried out. I was biting my teeth to avoid the sound of it so no one could hear me.

Eira was speechless. She immediately went to the container and got a glass of water. She gave it to me. I gulped the content of it.

"It scares me, Fira. It's not impossible, but your situation now? What if Alpha knows?" She sat. She was panicking, looking to the right and left. "He'll kill the baby." Her voice was just low so anyone would not hear that.

"Help me. What should I do?" I protected my belly. "No, I want this baby. I'll go crazy if he does something wrong to my little one."

"Should we tell King Fire?"

My body froze. That was a good suggestion, but not too good. It would just create a war between the two organizations if King Fire forced me out of here.

Janus was not an enemy. He is my friend! Before. That was before. He is now my soon-to-be husband and I have no clue what would be his reaction if he knew about this.

"Fira, we have no other choice. It's either telling the truth to King Fire or…" She looked away, "sleeping with the Alpha."

The nervousness crawled to my chest. I could not see myself giving myself to another man. That would not be my choice, but by thinking that I would marry him. He would take me! He would because he is my husband!

Weeks had passed that he was reminding himself after the wedding. After the wedding before making love.

"No, Eira! No!" I shook my head. The pain was in my chest. Minute by minute, it was getting severe. "I can't."

"Then, I'll tell King Fire!" Eira was determined. She stood up and was about to leave when I grabbed her hand.

"He didn't stop me from leaving. Does that mean he didn't want to see me?" I intertwined my hands at my belly. "If he wants me back, he'll say. He'll go here like...Colden."

She was surprised when she heard his name. "What?"

"I saw Colden yesterday. He was peeping on you in the distance. He couldn't stay long away from you." That made me happy for Eira, but said to me. It was obvious how determined King Ice was even just to have a glance on her.

I envy her.

But Pyro? Maybe he was now enjoying the moment with Princess Ziraya. They were a match though. Both royals. Both are powerful.

I heard Eira's sigh of frustration. "Perhaps King Fire has duty, that is why he can't go here?"

"No. He's letting me go. I knew Pyro. If he wants, he'll do it. He's good at following rules, but when he desires, he'll break them." I held my tummy in a circular motion. "He's a silent type of guy, but when it's necessary he'll create noise for his arrival."

A silence filled the area. After a few seconds, I continued talking. "Eira, from now on, I'll accept my life...with Janus."

"But you don't love him? You'll choose to suffer rather than picking your happiness?" She held my both hands and then looked directly into my eyes. "Marrying a guy is the same as choosing a future."

"There's a lot more important than our love, Eira. If Pyro leaves the kingdom, it's like I steal the king of his people. They need him more than me."

"Not just you! You've now an offspring inside you." She lowered her voice when realized that it was getting loud. "Not just a usual child, but an heir."

I gasped for air. All of her words were deeply stabbing my chest. If this child grew up here, it would still be an heir of the Red Moon Pack. Her future was settled, but he could not meet his real father.

"But Janus...I can't leave him. You heard what he's doing with the women? He's abusing them and I hate that person! He's not like that. He's not evil! When I went here, he started to change again into his old self." I held the glass of water and drank it before speaking up again. "He needs someone who'll guide him again. Going back to who he really is."

"And that's you?" She nodded her head while looking at me, disbelieving.

"Yes," I answered hesitantly. I looked down at my head.

"You're wrong. No one can help him, except himself. That's a choice. His life will not depend on you."

She was talking about a matter of fact again. That was not just the point here. It was between the Elemental Kingdom, Fire Pack and Red Moon Pack. I would cause a huge trouble. Possibly, people would die just to save me. Just to get me. Janus is not an enemy. He is special to me.

No, I can't be selfish. It's okay that I'm the one who suffered rather than seeing everyone in pain.

I moved up and looked at Eira's eyes with no emotion in my face. "I'll grab the second choice. I'll make this child as Janus."
