Chapter 139 THE REMEMBERING OF PLAN B

FIRA’S POV

I was walking back and forth as I was grabbing plenty of air. I was carrying Ember into my arms while waiting for the news about the Red Moon Pack. People at the Elemental Kingdom treating me, my sister and father like a royal because of their alliance to the Red Moon.

“Seryo.” I walked near him. He bowed to me. “What did you get?”

“We can’t find the body of Alpha Janus. I guess his body is with the house burning. It’s also hard for us to search for the area. Carter is ruthless, he’s beheading those who invaded the territory.”

I closed my hands tightly. “Someday, he'll pay for this.”

“Mama, did they see Papa?” Ember asked me with her dizzy eyes.

“No, Love.” I brushed her hair before leaving Seryo.

Carter wanted to call him Alpha Carter of the Red Moon Pack. I doubted him from the start due to what he did to me. However, Janus was respecting his position in the official. He believed that he would not destroy the pack. Eventually, he was not aware that they were planning a big attack to seize his power and he succeeded. By killing my husband, they owned the pack. My heart was aching. I witnessed all the sweat and sufferings of Janus to make it all in order; to run the pack with strong warriors. In just one snap, it ended like a bubble.

“Fira, are you okay?” Zephyus came from outside. He probably went to the city. He stared at Ember, he grabbed her to me and settled her on his arms. “I heard the details of the death of your husband. Condolences.”

I blew a loud sigh. He focused his eyes on my face. I was aware that I had a big circle under my eyes. I could not sleep last night. I was not used to sleeping without Janus beside me.

“I don’t know what I’m going to do. Or where are we going to go? I must not stay here.” I felt pity for my child.

“It’s not a big deal if you live here. Red Moon’s Luna is welcome to our kingdom.” He guided me to sit on the bench. I massaged my head into a circular motion.

“Agreed.”

We both glanced at my back when we heard the voice of King Oswald Arealdo. He was smiling widely on me. “You’re welcome here since your husband is a good friend of the一” He stopped looking when he saw Ember. My body trembled as he tilted his head.

Did he notice her looks?

“Your child’s so cute.” I had a sigh of relief when he just grasped her, located her on his arm.

“Thank you, Your Majesty.” I bowed my head. My chest was bouncing up and down. The tension was still in my system.

I never saw King Oswald with a huge smile on his face with a spark of so much amusement before. “What’s your name?”

“Ember.” My daughter showed him her little eyes with a very cute smile.

“Oh! You’re so adorable!” He was standing and swaying my child into his arms.

Zephyrus and I were looking at each other with confusion. He must be crazy thinking if that child was Pyro or Janus, it was in his eyes.

Suddenly, he asked his father to give permission to talk to me in private. “Fira, I know you. You know me! Who’s that child is?” He was chuckling as he choked my wait using his forefinger. “I guess, it’s Pyro.”

I covered his mouth immediately. “Shut up!”

“Am I right?” He jumped like a crazy person while shouting loudly. “Yohoo! I know, right! Did Pyro know about her? Where is the justice if he doesn’t?”

“He’s aware.” I let out a frustrated sigh. “Just be quiet.”

“Okay, your secret is safe.” He peeked on the wall, looking at Ember who was now laughing. King Oswald was good looking in that chuckling mood. “Even my father has a feeling of blood jumping.”

“Yeah.”

“But he’ll be mad. None of us should not have a first born daughter.”

“Why?” mY forehead formed a furrow.

“The kingdom’s rule. The first born should be a boy and if she’s a princess, Ministers would suggest execution like what the papers said.”

“What?” The dread covered my body, it was shaking as I gazed again at my daughter.

“Yup. Hiding her is the right thing to do.” He looked down at his watch. “I thought I’m not smart. I just learned that from the History Subject of the Elemental Kingdom.” He chuckled cutely.

“So…there’s no way that the entire kingdom recognizes that a princess exists?”

“Sadly, yes.” He tapped my shoulder, comforting me. “You need to strengthen your heart. This Kingdom is more cruel than what you think. Pyro was mindful about this. He might not have just told you.”

“Perhaps.” I exhaled harshly. Pulling myself together.

“Remember that Plan B of the kings?”

I nodded my head. “Me and Pyro will escape from the Elemental?”

“Yes, if you like to have a complete family. Just spill out to me. We’ll do anything to make Plan B successful.”

I moved my head side by side, gesturing a no sign. “Ember will grow up, knowing his father is Janus. That’s final.”

“Just in case, you change your mind.” He winked at me which made me annoyed with him. Sometimes, I did not know if he was kissing or if he was serious. “Just a gentle reminder, when Princess Ziraya’s mother healed from her sickness. The postponed marriage will be held.”

I did not respond. My head was messed up. And so if he marries the Princess? I am married to Janus.

“If they created an Heir, your daughter has no room in King Fire’s heart, especially when he fell for Princess Ziraya. Did you know that when you’re gone for years, they are sleeping together? They have a better relationship than before.” He looked down on his watch again as if he had a plan for this day. “Still, it’s up to you.”

I swallowed my throat. Hearing those, it ripped my heart, choked and tightened. How does it feel to see him marrying another girl?

It might kill me. Just wondered how he felt when he witnessed that I was marrying another man?

“Fira, it’s better to make a decision now, than be sorry for tomorrow.” He tapped my shoulder again as he said his farewell.
