Chapter 56 CHEATING

FIRA'S POV

"Is King Fire inside?" I asked Seryo. It had been an hour, I just changed my clothes to Omega's Quarter and then went directly to his room.

'Yes, but I'm sorry, Omega, he's not accepting anyone inside."

"I understand." I moved backward and stared at the door. Maybe some other time, he would talk to me.

I felt so sad for what had happened. I could not open my mouth to speak, knock and call him.

"Last night, he's so mad. He doesn't talk—I mean he's always like that, but at that time, he didn't want anyone to look at him. Did something happen?"

I gazed at Seryo's serious face. Actually, I did not talk to him often. I would say that he was worried about him. "Yes. Supposed to be our date, but I didn't…" I blew a loud sigh, "come."

"Oh, Omega. You should not want it if he's livid."

"I know, Seryo." I looked at the hallway and then gazed at him again. "I'll be back. I just grabbed hot chocolate."

"Don't think hot chocolate would work. He came back to his old self."

I bit my index finger. The devastating emotion was written on my face. "Old self?"

"The one who'll always punish everybody, even me, is scared. If he says, go away, you need to follow it or else he'll command the guards to punish you."

I did not encounter that attitude from him, but I heard that from Cass. He was always kind to me. "Oh, thank you for letting me know, but even if he punishes me, I deserve that."

"It's up to you."

I said goodbye to him for a second before I went to the kitchen and made hot chocolate.

"Oh, Girl! You should report Carter!" Cass was so mad as I told what happened last night.

I was in front of the cooking pan and making chocolate, mixing it.

"Shh. Don't be loud. They might hear you."

"But Fira, they should take action on this. Carter can go back to you again and do whatever he wants." I could see the worriedness in his eyes.

She is right, but I do not know how to report what happened. For sure, King Fire might be so angry. He could not control his power and I was afraid that he could do something that could ruin his reputation as a king.

Carter was still part of the Elemental Kingdom, the kings were not allowed to kill anyone unless the judge or King Arealdo gave him permission to cut his life.

"Fira, you need protection from that maniac!" Cass grabbed the knife, his stare was sharp as if she saw Carter she would stab him.

"Don't mind it."

I started to prepare the hot chocolate in the cup. "I'll be back."

Cass let out a loud frustrated sigh and then nodded.

I went again to King Fire's room, hit the door and then spoke sweetly. "King Fire, I have hot chocolate here. Please open the door."

I moved backward as I heard the rotation of the doorknob. The door bursts open. A smile from ear to ear formed on my face. I walked inside and put the cup on the side table.

My body froze as I heard the creak of the door.

Did he lock it? Why?

I gulped three times when I faced him. It was like I came back to where I met him, to where I first talked to him. I felt awkward. I could not even look at his face to say my apology.

I cleared my throat, grabbed plenty of air and pulled all my strength together as I bravely looked into his eyes. "Pyro, last night—"

"King Fire. The full moon is not yet coming."

I stared at him with confusion in my eyes. In front of me...who is this guy? He was not my friend Pyro who always says 'Pyro. That's my name.' My friend did not want to call him King Fire when we were alone.

The tears condensed in the side of my eyes, but I managed not to show him my true feelings. I was sincerely apologizing. I could not say those words because the fear of him was filling my body.

He raised his chin. Being handsome as he stared at my face with the spark of madness in his eyes. "Go to the bed, undress if you don't want me to rip your clothes."

My mouth barely opened. "King Fire?"

"You heard me. Do my order."

"No…" I shook my head. The tears crawled all over my cheek. This was the scariest thing that I wanted to avoid from the royals. I was not expecting this.

Not to Pyro.

"No, please."

King Fire showed me that he did not care about what I would feel. His face was just blank, the eyes were glued on me.

"Should I rip your clothes?"

"No. I don't want to. Please. I know I was wrong for not coming on our date, but don't punish me like this! Those words should come to you! You're my friend!" I could not help, but raise my voice.

"Friend?" Pyro gritted his teeth. "Is that what you call? Royal and Omega should never be friends." He stepped forward and left a bit of distance to our bodies.

I was trembling as he came closer again. Face to face. "You ruin my trust."

My sobs echoed in the room. I wanted to say what Carter did to me, but if he knew, what would he do? If he killed him, the Elemental Kingdom would order execution for the King of Fire pack.

"I have...reason." I almost said that with just air, my voice was so low that even me could not barely hear it.

"Fira, don't play with me." Pyro's jaw tightened. His fist clenched compactly.

"Go and beat me, but please don't take pleasure in my body. You're still my king. My king who saved me from the peak of death." I let all the hot liquid streamed on my face.

I could feel the stabbing sensation in my heart that made me so weak. Weak that I could not stand straight, I just held the side table to support myself.

"Why?" Pyro's eyebrows went up. "Who are you to command me?"

The tone of his voice, it was not my friend, but was the monster king that I would not want to face.

"You're my mate after all so I'll get what I want."

My sobs got worse as Pyro threw all the things on the side table including the cup of chocolate. I could hear the broken pieces of fragile glasses and vases that were on the table before.

I gasped for air as he grabbed my thighs, lifted me and sat me on the side table while he was in the middle of my thighs. "I saw you cheating on me."
