Chapter 146 UNTIL DEATH

FIRA’S POV

“Ember!” We ran towards them.

Pyro immediately lifted her on his arm. The mother of the kid walked in front of us. “What kind of kid she is! You should watch your child!”

I blew a sigh while looking at her. She did not even see how her child push Ember. “Sorry一” I paused talking when Pyro defended Ember.

“Your child was the first one who pushed my daughter.” Pyro was looking at her with darkness.

I grabbed his hand and intertwined it. That was my way of calming him. It would be a disaster if he suddenly burn in fire since he was mad.

“Whoever comes first, she punched the face of my daughter! She should be in jail!”

It was funny. That made me chuckle. She was just a kid and yet she was making things complicated. “We can fix the conversation. I’m saying sorry for you and your daughter.” I was shocked when his husband, a policeman, walked closer to us.

Crap? That was why she was talking about jail.

“What’s happening, Honey?” The cop asked.

“This child一ahh!” When the mother pointed her hand at Ember, she held it and bit it! Crap! I’m having a headache. “See? She’s a devil kid! She bit my forefinger!” She was massaging the skin on the portion.

I was embarrassed, the people were started to look at us and watched the scene. The kid’s parents began a commotion that caught the attention of many. It was either, we needed to take good care of our child, discipline her, and many more words that were just pain on our ears.

Pyro moved his mouth near my ear. “Can we just run at a count of three?”

I nodded my head. “Agreed.” I winced as their mouths kept talking.

“One,” Pyro lifted up Ember, placing her in his arms and preparing himself for our escaping. “Two.” He nodded his head slightly at me and then, “three!”

We ran as fast as we could. The three of us were laughing as the cop ran to reach us, but because we were trained werewolves, he had no chance of catching us. We hid at the back of the wall, chuckling. This event had happened to us when in the same freedom day. I remembered we stepped faster to escape for Pyro’s fans after performing a piano in the middle of the mall. Now, we were a family running.

“Don’t do that again.” Pyro caressed Ember’s cheek.

“Do what, King Fire?” She covered her mouth when a cute chuckle could be heard from her mouth.

“Do biting someone’s finger.” Pyro chuckled back. They were whispering as if they did a crime. Well, they really did.

“She’s annoying, Papa, King Wind told me that if a person pointed on me, belittling me, bite them.”

I held my forehead due to frustration. So the master mind was Zephyrus.

“Not in that manner, my little angel.” He pinched her nose in a smooth way. “Kick her when she一” He paused speaking when I hit his shoulder using my hand.

“Don’t teach her with naughtiness! She’s just a kid. What you say, she’ll do.”

“Just kidding, Dearest.” Suddenly, Pyro moved his face towards me and kissed me on the cheek.

Crap! My attention was on Ember. She saw!

Her forehead furrowed. “Dearest means super love, right? Right, King Fire?” Her curiosity turned on again.

Pyro scratched the peak of his nose. “Yes.”

“You called me daughter in front of the annoying woman. Why are you calling me your daughter? Am I your child?”

Pyro was about to answer, but I stopped him. “It’s just role-playing. So they would not know that your father is not here.” I simply explained. I thought she would stop asking. No, she is a smart kid. She would question whatever she wants.

“Let me remind you, King Fire.” She stood in front of Pyro. She looked at her with a deadly look. She was like an old woman but lacking in height. “My mother is my Papa Janus’ wife. You’re not allowed to kiss my mother. Yeah, we are friends and I called you Papa, but it doesn’t mean I’m accepting you as my father.” She used her forefinger and middle finger to point at her both eyes and then used it again to point at both Pyro’s eyes. “I watch you.”

Pyro messed up her hair. “You’re just four years old. Someday, you’ll understand. You’re just a baby.”

“I’m a big girl!” She was annoyed every time, she was calling a baby or a kid.

We both chuckled.

After hiding, we went to the playground. It did not change, it was the same as it used. The memories of the past came into my mind. The day we escaped to the kings. That was the best feeling ever.

Pyro settled Ember at the swing. The kid was chuckling happily as he was pushing him from behind. There was a huge smile on my lips while watching them. Ember was truly happy. Pyro was so handsome with his ear-to-ear grin. I just wish we were forever like this.

“Mama!” Ember gestured to Pyro to pause. She hung her feet on the swing, trying to reach the floor. Pyro helped her by lifting him and then put on the ground. Ember held my hand. She wanted me to go set at the swing, too. So I sat on there and placed her on my lap. Then, Pyro was pushing us from behind. The coldness of air could be felt into my skin. This was the best feeling ever. My heart was light with pure adoration to the moment. My eyes were small with a twinkle of merriment.

My hand touched the hand of Pyro that was holding on to the steel near my shoulder. I looked up at him and gave him a beautiful smile. I never saw myself smiling like this for the four years he was gone. I realized I should not leave him. I must stand for our love.

I’m so proud of you, King Fire. Despite how I hurt you, you never unlove me.

I think that is what my mother mean when she said if that person is for you. He can’t forget you, no matter how many years had passed. No matter how difficult the situation is, he remains to choose you and pick you over and over again even if you turn your back to him. He will not count the days of your absence. He can’t be mad at you. Only he will remember the goodness in you and how love blossoms between the two of you.

Pyro is the true meaning of happiness to me. Pyro is my real love. And if he selects me over his King’s position. Now, I will bravely stand and fight for him. Fight for our family.

Until death.
