Chapter 43 THE JEALOUSY

PYRO'S POV

"Tell Fira, I summoned her. Kindly bring my favorite hot chocolate." The smile was on my lips when I was about to enter my room. My feet were stuck on the ground when I heard the answer of Seryo.

"She's with King Lightning, your majesty."

I twisted my body and stared at his face. I was observing if he was telling the truth. "What?"

"The omega went here, but when she saw you were not around, she joined King Lightning in the library."

I moved my head in an upright direction. Perhaps, she would get books for her study.

"Okay, I'll go there."

Seryo bowed his head. Along my journey to the library I could hear the workers even though they were far from me. They were talking about Fira and Janus.

My feet stopped from walking and heard them carefully. My fist slowly clenched as I absorbed the details of their conversations.

"They are lovers! I hope I can find love through the mining area, too."

"You see how he held Fira's hand? That's so sweet."

"They also called each other Honey!"

"I'm thrilled!"

"They look good together!"

"Actually, I have a crush on Janus! He's one of the handsomest in the mining industry!"

"Fira is lucky!"

My ear was panting. The gritting of my teeth became severe. I just closed my eyes to prohibit the starting fire in it. I clenched my palm to avoid burning the kingdom.

Damn. I can't control it. The rage was consuming my whole system.

I walked faster to go to the library. Raiden must have helped me. The anger was filling my whole body and even my eyes were producing fire.

"No! Don't create a powerful fire! It can burn the Elemental Kingdom!"

I can't…

The fire became more severe. My eyes, palm, chest, back—all of them were igniting. I could feel the heat.

No one would save from my gift, this was not supposed to happen.

I closed my eyes and thought of happy memories. The first time I saw Fira popped into my mind. That was tragic, but I felt that the fire gradually disappeared. I thought of me and Fira at the bed. I watched her sleep for the whole night.

The smile drew on my lips. I saw her perfectly formed face: tge nose, eyes, lips, shape of face and even her eyelashes that made my body lighten.

Until the fire slowly vanished. I walked to the library, prohibiting the anger to burst again, but I was startled when I saw that Fira was holding Raiden's hand.

Anger flared up. This time, it was more powerful, more intense, more harmful.

They are just talking, Pyro. They are just talking.

I kept that in mind, repeating over and over again. I was clenching my palm. My lips shook as I recognized that I was not just battling with the power of fire, but I was also fighting the pain in my heart. The stabbing sensation that makes me drown in my own pain. The suffocation in my chest that resulted in my uncontrollable madness.

Fira is mine. She is mine. The symbol is on her wrist. She is only mine and mine alone.

I repeated that in my kind over and over again until the igniting faded.

"You are what you are. You are not a monster or a beast, my son. You can control your power. Don't let it control you. You are a king, a very good king."

One drop of tear crawled to my cheek. That was what my mother said when I almost burned the Fire Pack. She believed that I could be a kind and loving king, not a monster who could not control his own self.

I am what I am.

I moved closer to Fira's ear. I felt like doing that to fully escape from this difficulty.

"You. Are. Mine."

I bit my lips hard. I closed my eyes deeply and buried my face on Fira's shoulder. I hugged her so tight that even the universe could not separate us, I would not let that happen.

I felt her embrace to my back, she moved her hand up and down. "It's okay."

We stayed in that position for about a minute until I saw Raiden. "What's happening?"

Fira removed our hands. I was just shutting my mouth. I knew in my heart, Raiden did not like Fira, maybe he liked, but as a friend.

He is in love with the lost luna.

"King Fire just needs a rest." Fira held my hand. I stared at our hands for so long. I could feel the radiating electricity from our skin, causing my heart to jump in happiness, which I could not understand.

"Do you want hot chocolate?" Her voice was sweet and gentle. She also wrapped her hands on my upper arm, making me fully calm.

"Yes, please." I blew harsh air. At least Fira was holding me now. I felt content for that.

"Surely, my king."

We arrived at my room. Seryo immediately opened the door for us. She guided me to sit in the bed and messed up my hair. She had a big smile on her lips. "Wait for me."

She turned his back. I watched her walking away from me.

I laid my back on the bed and closed my eyes. My chest was still pounding recklessly so I inhaled and exhaled.

I'm so proud of myself because I control what is supposed to be controlled. I am just wondering about what Zephyrus is telling me.

I am not happy when Fira is not around. I want to always see her and be with her. I am so mad that even my power is uncontrollably strong when I heard that she is with another guy. I have no clue what is happening to me.

"Pyro?" I heard a knock on the door. It was Zephyrus so I did not answer. The door burst open and he went beside me. "Wanna join us tonight?"

"No." I answered quickly.

"Pyro, sorry, but I heard the workers talking about Fira and—"

"Shut up!"

"Janus. If that's the case, you need to move on and find—"

"Shut your damn mouth!"

"Find a woman who can make you happy at least for the night."

Damn. I was surrendering to Zephyrus' crazy mouth. Even if I cut his words, he would continue until he said his full statement.

Why am I having a brother like him? I would be very happy if I kicked this bastard.
