Chapter 6 HIS PROPERTY

FIRA'S POV

The Alpha King of Fire did not answer my question, he walked away from me instead. He left me hanging, questioning what happened to me and him after the death of my mother.

Why do I have this symbol of Fire in my wrist? I badly need an answer.

I was staring at my wrist for so long. I was the weak Omega who had no longer time in this world because if I made a mistake, they were no mercy. They can kill me or worse, it includes my family. If they knew that I had this kind of symbol, the Betas would suffer me to death. Everyone in this kingdom would treat me like an animal until this symbol gradually erases.

I held tight my skirt, hiding the symbol. I immediately walked towards the hallway and followed King Fire. I was not allowed to call him by his name because it was not yet a full moon. Their real names were hidden under the elemental power they had.

"Where have you been!" Saza grabbed my arms in full force. Saza is the Leader of the Omega who has been assigned to the Alpha King of Fire.

My body was trembling as she looked at me with her burning eyes. This was my end if she punishes me. I was trying to hide the symbol on my wrist because she might see that. My chest was pounding so recklessly when she gritted her teeth. The thing was, if you were assigned in the royal's kingdom area, you are prone to punishment because you are prohibited to make any single mistake. I was exposed to the rules that must abide, if I did not, I might be killed. My body was not used to handling any pain. All my life, I was just cleaning the clothes, serving them. Not encountered any violence, except when the three rainbow sisters bullied me.

"20 slashes!"

My heart skipped to beat as she said those words. Immediately, my eyes watered. "Please, no. I can't handle the slashes. My body is no—"

"30 slashes!" Her face had no emotion, she was like a hidden monster inside the kind feature of a lady. She looked at his side, nodding at the guard. "Simon, give her 30 slashes."

Simon walked towards me and recklessly grabbed my shoulder. I shut my mouth from pleading because the more I plead, the more I get hurt. Simon dragged me to the hallway, he was abusive because my arms, for sure, had a blood clot.

"I saw her!"

The guard stopped from walking. We both looked back at Cass. She was nervous, I Knew, but she managed to bow to Saza and spoke. "I saw her with the Alpha King of Fire, he talked to her and that was why she was gone for a second."

Saza stared at her face, observing if she was telling the truth. "Are you sure?"

"Yes. I swear to the Alphas." Cass was bowing his head, she did not look at Saza.

"Let her go." She commanded, walked towards me and straightly looked at eyes. "Be good. I will watch you."

I bowed to her, my body was still shaking from the tension. "Thank you."

When she walked away, I ran to Cass and hugged her. We both sighed as a relief. If she did not come, 30 slashes would rip my body. I could not take that pain.

"Thank you so much, Cass." I was looking at her with a smile.

"You can tell her that King Fire asked you to come." Cass held a tray from the table. She looked at me with pity in her eyes. "Try to avoid the punishment. Last time, I got fifty slashes, I had a fever so high. I thought that was the end of my life."

"I didn't tell her about King Fire because of the fear that consumed me." I grabbed a tray, still trying to keep the symbol out of anyone's sight. "What happened? Why did you get fifty slashes?"

She chuckled. I found her cute by her full smile, a natural beauty was showing on her round small face. "I sneak into the room of King Fire." She moved closer to my ear and whispered. "I have a crush on him. I just wanted to take a look at his things and smell his bed. Crazily, Saza caught me."

I did not know, but a smile formed on my lips. "You are insane." Imagine, what she did was breathtaking. I could not do that.

"That's fine. I am okay now." We walked towards the wealthy carpet, going to the kitchen. "If you want to taste one of the Alpha, go to the Alpha King of Wind. He will accommodate you with open arms."

Alpha King of Wind? What was his name? He told me that. I did not remember their names. Maybe when I saw him again.

"Who is the Alpha King of Wind?" Out of curiosity, I asked her. We positioned ourselves on the sink to start washing the dishes.

"King Wind, the most approachable man, he will ask you to come to his room if you are interested. Easy to please. The one always had a smile and he is so handsome!" Cass was blushing as she told stories.

I pulled all the information together and tried to remember the King Wind. Ah! I knew him! Zephyrus. That was his name. He said to me last time that he was free that night and if I was willing, go to the terrace. Yeah, I remembered his name, it was just my head was preoccupied from knowing who my mates are plus the shaking scene of almost having thirty slashes.

"Actually, they are all approachable, but at times unpredictable, especially the King Fire. Don't come near him, if he doesn't call you, punishment is always his words."

That was why when I wanted to say thank you, he said I was not allowed to come near him.

"Fira?" Saza was on the door, staring at me.

"Yes, Madame?" I wiped my wet hands on my skirt and came near her.

"Bath yourself. King Wind is looking for you. Don't make him wait any longer. You will be punished." After her words, she turned his back to me.

"Oh, my gosh! He saw you and your beauty. Okay, fix yourself, it's your turn!" Cass was excited as she organized my hair.

"What does it mean?" I stared at her with all my confusion and it trembled the hell out of me.

"He likes you. It means he wants to take you—"

"No! Can I say no? I mean I am not ready and—" I looked down, peeking at my wrist. I was owned by someone, owned by the Alpha King of Fire. I was an imprinted werewolf, even though I did not yet meet my wolf form.

I am King Pyro's property.
