Chapter 5 MEET THE MATE

One month later.

"Hey, hey! Wait!" I pointed at the man walking in front of the Elemental Kingdom. Actually, there were five men so all of them looked at me. I smiled widely as I stared at his face. I waved my hand.

"Hi, Honey." One of them was about to walk, but the man with a tan color of the skin avoided him by holding his arm.

"Stop that, Zephyrus. She's not looking for you." He waved his hands at me. "Who are you pertaining to?"

"Him." I pointed at my savior. "Hey, can I talk to you?"

"Fire?" All of them stared at him as if this was the first time someone called him.

"Fire?" I repeated. "Is that your name?"

The four men moved their heads from left to right. Two of them were smiling so broad and the two were having a smirk on their face. They had a race going to me, Fire was left alone, looking at me with his no-emotion look.

"What's your name?" The smiling face man who told me Honey asked. "Zephyrus." He encircled his arms on my shoulder.

The other man looked at him badly, resulting in Zephyrus removing his arms from me.

"Is that the proper way to act?" The man was having a threatening look at Zephyrus. After that, he waved his hands, too. "Raiden."

"How did you know him?" The other one with super white skin asked. "By the way, I'm Hali." He offered his hands so I grabbed them.

They had lots of questions which I could not answer. Who are they?

"Colden." He gave me a small smile. "Don't tell anyone about our names. It should be revealed in the full moon."

I moved my head from up and down, my attention was not on them, but on Fire who was now walking away. "Give me a second."

I ran towards him. My feet stuck on the ground when he faced me. "Don't."

"Huh? I just want to say thank you for what you did for—"

"That's my duty."

I was about to step my feet to move forward, but he gestured to me to stop. Cold emotion was written on his face. I was curious why he did not want me to come near him.

"Duty? What kind of duty? Are you a Beta? A warrior?" I stepped forward and stopped when he talked again.

"You are taking the boundary."

I could not guess what was on his mind. All I wanted was to say thank you, nothing more, but he was giving me an action that was unpredictable.

"Boundary?"

He hardly closed his eyes and turned his back to me. "Pyro. That's my name."

I was about to move towards him, but he spoke again. "So naughty! Don't follow me! Stay away from me! That's a command!"

My eyes widened. His voice was loud enough to be heard by the men who approached me before. I had nothing to do except watch him away.

"Sorry." Colden shrugged his shoulders before following Pyro.

"He seems uninterested." Hali tapped my shoulder.

"According to my observation, he is like that three times a week." I could hear the laugh of Raiden. "Go back tomorrow."

"Honey, I'm free tonight." Zephyrus winked at me. "See me at the terrace, if you are willing."

I watched them walking away from me. Actually, my mind was messed up. Who are they? Are they guests? I did not see them before. And why should I not tell their names to anyone?

"Fira, King Oswald is calling you. Your duty is at the Kingdom's dinner." Eira called me when she saw me walking.

"Woah! Really?" I jumped with happiness. This was my first time at a huge long table of royals. I will meet the Alpha Kings from different Elemental packs.

"Faster!"

I fixed myself before going upstairs. My heart was pounding so hard and loud. My smile was growing to my lips as I observed the luxuriousness of the kingdom. I was not usually in here because my duty was always in the kitchen or cleaning the clothes. Luckily, I would serve the Alpha Kings.

"Hi." A broad smile was written on my lips as I saw the crowd of Omega wearing a red uniform, holding utensils. That red means we were assigned to the Alpha King of Fire. "My name is Fira from the family of Hayes."

"Hello. I am Cass from the family of Leonardo." She soundly sighed. "Our deepest condolences for your loss."

I still managed to not remove my smile although the sadness started to consume me.

After they introduced themselves, taught me the areas and our duties we moved to the dining area. I looked around while my mouth was barely opened, mesmerizing with the beauty of sacred dining in. There was a long gold table, a strong chandelier light, paintings of different elements, a statue of the 5 Kings, and other symbolism of the kingdom. My feet stopped with the Alpha King of Fire.

"Fira, Move! They are now here!" Cass grabbed my arms and guided me to form align.

"I can't play basketball here." That voice was familiar to me.

"Me, too."

I moved my eyeball in my side, not including my neck. I had a curiosity to look at who they were. My eyes widened when I saw the four men that I met before. In their back was Pyro, no emotion, no energy walking.

So, they are the Alpha Kings?

I almost slipped the tray on my hand, but I managed to tighten my hold on it. I would be dead if I break this. I could not believe that Pyro was one of them!

"Fire…" I whispered. I heard them call him 'Fire'. Our eyes met when he gazed at my direction.

He is the Alpha King of Fire. I was busted not to know that!

In our kingdom, the kings were hidden not until the full moon. That was why they said their name was confidential.

"Fira." Zephyrus waved his hands. Being friendly. "You are here." He was about to walk towards me when Pyro stepped faster. He got the tray in my hand and put it down on the table.

"Give me a sec." He said to his brothers.

I looked at his back while following him. He brought me to the third-floor veranda, near the Fire room.

"Show me your wrist." He was commanding me. His voice was thick.

"Why?" I stuttered as I looked into his eyes. I wanted to avert my look, but it glued me to his almond eyes. My heart was pounding so fast as I observed every detail of his face. He is more handsome when near, his scent was strongly attractive.

I did not show him my wrist that was why he grabbed it and slowly opened it.

"Fuck!" He gritted his teeth.

When I looked at it, my mouth barely opened. There was a symbol of fire.

"What is this?"

"Imprinted." He said while facepalming. "Don't show your wrist to anyone. That's an order!" He left me absorbing what he said.

Then, when I realized I spoke, the reason why he stopped but never faced me again.

"You are my mate? But… how?
