Chapter 164 THE BONDING WITH KING WATER

FIRA’S POV

My elbow was leaning on the bed, staring at Ember’s face while I was gazing at her adorable face. She was sleeping tightly. I held her tiny hand and kissed it. The tears condensed in the side of my eyes and when the weight was heavy, it rolled in my cheek.

My sanity would go away if my daughter would be gone, too. I could not take that all. It was too much. I thought we were having a new life, but why was another problem occurring?

Pyro did not want to go on his first day in his job, but I pushed him away. He should adjust to this human life. Hali was the one who left to look after us.

“Knock, knock?”

I removed my tears when I heard the voice of Eira.

“Who’s there?” I asked even though I knew it.

“Eira.”

“Eira, who?”

“Eira loves her younger sister.”

That was a game on television about a knock-knock and who’s there. I chuckled when she entered the room. The bed dipped when she laid beside Ember. “She’s amazingly cute.” She touched the cheek of Ember and kissed her on the forehead. Then. she grabbed my hand and put it on her cheek. “It’s difficult, but please hold on. You still have me. I can’t be in my normal mind if I lose you.”

I adjusted my body to envelop her with my arms. “I'm not going anywhere. I'll always be by your side forever.”

I remove the tears from her face using my thumb. “Don’t cry too much. The baby, remember?” I gazed down on her belly. I could see the small bump on it. “Is she a girl or a boy?”

“I don’t know. It’s better to be surprised.”

We both laughed. “I hope it’s a boy.”

“I hope so.” She laid on the bed, wrapped her one hand on Ember, and it extended to me. We had so much to convey, especially when it was our memories with Mom and Dad. We never notice that we fell asleep. When I woke up it was 4 in the afternoon. I went out to prepare the food for dinner.

Hali was on the couch, he was reading a magazine. It was advisable to read that according to Zephyrus.

“If you need anything. You can call me,” Hali said without even looking at me. His eyes were on the magazine.

“Can we go out to buy ingredients?”

“All right.” He stood up and gestured to me to come.

I was surprised when I viewed that we had a red car outside. “Who’s the owner of the car?”

“Zephyrus. I didn’t know he’s one of the richest in human.” Hali opened the door for me.

“Thank you.” I inserted my body into it and then settled down. “Can we go to the nearest market? I don’t like to leave Eira and Ember alone.”

He just nodded at me before he opened the engine of the car and started to maneuver. “You know how to run a car, huh?”

“Yup. Why? You want training in using this?” He gazed at me on the reflection of the mirror. I was in the backseat and he was in the driver's seat of course.

“You won’t slap me, would you?” We both laughed at my question. I remembered the days of the training. “You almost separate my head in my body because of your strong slap.”

He chuckled while turning the car into a U-turn. “You learned from that. My Zarya experienced a similar thing when she was having training. Ah, it was more brutal than your practices.”

“Poor her. Anyway, how is she?”

“She’s good. Finding justice for her family so she left me.” I did not know, but there was a sadness in his voice.

“Why didn’t you accompany her?”

“She left me without notice. She’ll come back. Pretty sure.” He maneuvered the car again to move it in the right direction.

“What if she’s not?” I almost covered my mouth when he glared at me. That was sharp as if he would going to hurt me. That look was his look when I did wrong in the training. He would punish me with twenty slashes on the hand and back. Then, he would let me bear the pain for an hour after that, he would heal me. That was how ruthless he was during that time.

“I’ll find her.”

I was startled when he answered me in a smooth way. He would find her? That sounds like a touch of love for her Beta. I had no knowledge of what they had been through, but I was sure that it was deep than the ocean.

“What if you can’t find her?” I was just trying to tease him if he would get mad at me.

“That’s impossible. I have her heart.”

I covered my mouth with my hands to prevent the loud sound of my laugh. I would never believe that Hali, the Alpha King of Water said that in the most cheesy ways!

“What’s funny?” The annoyance was on his face.

I cleared my throat while remaining to prohibit the laughter to burst out. “Nothing.”

He was so cool in any aspect of his posture. He was ruthless when he was standing and talking. He seemed uninterested when he was speaking to anyone. He was a great warrior in battle and yet his heart was soft to only one woman.

On the other hand, I could see Pyro in him. When it came to me he was soft and gentle.

Is King Water have the same attitude as Pyro for Zarya?

“Seems sweet? Not to anyone.” Hali spoke. The car stopped. “Come on.”

I tapped his shoulder. “It’s okay to be sweet sometimes.”

“Like Pyro?” He put his hand on my shoulder and wrapped it around it. I had a look at it. It was a little unsettling. Hali, on the other hand, was like that in all women. The same as Zephyrus. As a result, it didn't bother me.

“Don’t think outside the box. You’re not my type, reminder? Just…” He gazed at his side. I followed what he was looking for. I realized there were plenty of girls peeking at him with heart in their eyes.

“I’ll give you favor when you let me hold your shoulder for a bit so that wh*res would go.”

“Hey! Don’t call them wh*res!” I hit his shoulder.

“Then what?” His two eyebrows raised.

“Just have an admiration for you. Admirer!” I thought so deep before I came out with what should I say.

“Whatever.”

Hali and I began to grab the necessary ingredients for our dinner.
