Chapter 19 CAUGHT BY THE KING

PYRO'S POV

"Kill me, King Fire."

I moved closer to him and tapped his back. "I will think about that."

"You can really kill me?" A chuckle of Colden came on in his mouth. I sighed in relief when I recognized that the calmness was now written on his face.

"If your pack vanishes. What is the purpose of being an Alpha King of Ice if you don't have people?" I tapped his shoulder again, three times, soothing him. "You still have a pack to protect. Don't think of killing yourself. Learn how to control it instead."

"I will." He smiled at me and wrapped his hands in my arms. If there was someone that I wanted to touch me, it was Colden. I had no idea why my heart was close to him.

I smiled a bit and messed his hair. "We are going home."

"Yup, Big Brother."

We walked out of the room. We both stopped when we arrived at the door, Raiden was there. Looking at us with his serious face. He tilted his head and observed Colden. "What did you do?"

Colden was about to open his mouth when I spoke. "Nothing. Like a normal man, enjoying the moment." I stared at his face intensely. "Like how you have fun tonight."

Raiden prohibited a smirk on his lips. "Let's walk home so father would not notice us."

We walked out of the bar and started to travel. We had no car in the Elemental Kingdom so traveling on foot was the only choice. Colden never left beside me, that was why I had no chance to ask Zephyrus and Hali about the woman, but I was sure she was safe because Hali had a soothing power of water, he could heal the small bruises.

"Raiden, why did you come to the nightclub?" Zephyrus was getting blabby again. He could not stand a second of not saying a word. "I thought you hate breaking the rules?"

Raiden looked at him seriously. "You have no right to ask me."

"Wow! When should I get my right to ask you, then? You are annoying." Zephyrus pouted like a kid who wanted a lollipop. "Just answer it."

"I have my own reason." Raiden walked past us. He stepped on the lying branch of the tree and jumped.

"Are you attracted to that woman?" Hali had a smirk on his lips while marching confidently. "It seems like you will not go there if it's not because of her. I guessed you know that girl fully. You will not touch her like that if you don't, do you?"

Raiden stopped from walking. He did not look us back, but he spoke. "I am trying to get to know her."

"Woah! The legendary rule keeper is now going to join us every night when we have a plan to go to the city! I will take note of that!" Zephyrus happiness was obvious in his expression. He even shook Colden's shoulder. "He will not report us to father!"

"Yeah." Colden just gave him a small small. "Maybe."

"Make it fast. The sun is rising." Hali collided his shoulder with my shoulder. I just shook my head, this man was unpredictable. Sometimes, he acted kind to me, but all the time he was annoyed with me. I was not doing anything. He was just insecure.

"Hali?" Colden's soft voice made him stick his feet on the ground. "Is the woman all right?"

Hali looked back, his eyes met me. Then, his stare glued to Colden. "She is. She… ahm… went home."

Colden blew a sigh of relief. "Good to know. Thank you."

"No worries." Hali looked down. I observed his expression. The woman was not yet okay, I could say that. He was just saying those words to make Colden relax.

"Do not overthink, Colden. I saw her smiling and whispering to my ear that she enjoyed the night with you." Zephyrus' big smile was on his expression. Even with how much he smiled, I knew he was lying to him. "Actually… She wants to see you again. I mean, one last time because she is going to another country."

"Did I not hurt her so badly?" Colden bit his nail. "Didn't I? Yeah?"

"Of course not!" Zephyrus tapped his shoulder. "You just need to find something to calm yourself when you are feeling the worst emotions."

"I tried many things such as converting my anger. I also tried herbal medicine. I tried Raiden's suggestion, reading books when I am mad. I tried Hali's, too, dancing to the music. It didn't work." Colden looked down. There was sadness on his face. "I don't want to harm anybody."

"What if falling in love?" Zephyrus' suggestion was nonsense. Out of nowhere—

"Maybe that's a good idea." Colden accepted his opinion.

I did not see that falling in love was the right choice. It would not work because that thing should not be forced. It would come in an unexpected way.

"Look at Raiden. He is in love with—" Zephyrus was really a crazy man, that was why Raiden was threatened, he threw a big branch of tree at him, causing him to shut his mouth, he dodged to avoid hitting his body.

How would Riaden be part of the conversation? Even the excluded person in the topic made Zephyrus in.

"I am just kidding. Chill!" King Wind raised his open palm. "But I found it real!" He was laughing when he ran away from Raiden.

Raiden just glared at him while watching his figure away from us. It was obvious that he was annoyed by how Zephyrus teased him. Well… if you were going to ask me if Raiden was attractive to that girl. I would say 'yes.' He wrapped his arms on her shoulder. I could not see the 'respect woman' on that unless he knew her before.

Did he?

It was not my business anyway. I should blow that uninteresting topic out of my mind.

A few minutes later, we arrived at the Elemental Kingdom. We climbed up on the building like a ninja. Zephyrus was drunk that was why he was laughing so loud while choking our butt.

"Stop that! I will kick you. I swear!" I was looking back at him with the fire in my eyes.

"And don't create a noise." Raiden scolded him, too.

"I just want to cuddle with my brothers." Zephyrus climbed faster like spiderman. I just shook my head. Whatever he did, he was enjoying it. He had no time for boring things, but his attitude now was appropriate. We might have fallen on the second floor for f-ck's sake.

Gladly, we arrived from the thirty floor without harm. We jumped on the window and when we looked up…

"Busted." I heard Hali's voice.

It was really a bust. Our father was in front of us, looking at us badly.

"Thirty slashes." King Oswald ordered.
