Chapter 60 FREEDOM DAY I

FIRA'S POV

Eira said that she was going out today. She did not say where she was going so I concluded that she would enjoy the day although we still had no news about our father.

I just wore a white crop top shirt, blue pants and white shoes. These were Zephyrus' gift since he was always in the city. He told me that if I wanted to go there, I should dress up according to their clothes. Our dress in Elemental Kingdom was a red uniform, a skirt and the garment of the omega. Zephyrus said it was fine to wear, but it would look like a uniform somewhere so I strictly need to use what he gave.

I turned around in the mirror.

"You look like a normal human, Fira," I was talking to myself.

My chest was filled with excitement as Pyro came into my mind. Good thing he was picking me up because I was scared of roaming outside again. After the night of what Carter did to me, I was not seeing him again. Maybe he was healing his wounds. Janus hit the back of his head. I thought he died, but I heard from Cass that he was still alive and just resting.

That demon! I wished he died! He deserved to be in hell.

I heard a knock on the door. My heart drummed immediately as the thought of Pyro standing there came into my mind.

My heart was covered with happiness as I rotated the doorknob. My jaw literally dropped when I viewed what Pyro looked like.

Ahh! I want to shout so loud as the thrill spreads all over my body.

He was wearing a black leather jacket with a white polo inside, black pants that fit to his thighs and legs with a pair of black shoes. His hair was naturally messed up that made him look freaking handsome!

"Why? Should I change my clothes?" He recognized the way I looked at him.

"No, no, no! You're extraordinary...handsome," I whispered the last word due to the embarrassment that filled my body.

"Damn. You look so pretty, Dearest."

I was unable to move as I heard that endernment again in his mouth. That was his second time and I was still affected as if that was the sweetest call I had ever heard.

Dearest.

That word repeated to my head over and over again.

After showing up and complimenting each other, we were awkwardly walking in the back tunnel. I had no idea that the Bloodline Kingdom had this kind of passageway. It was dark, the fire on the walls just gave light to our ways. It was like a cave under the kingdom. If I were solo here, I might think of ghosts or what.

"Fira…" He showed me his palm. "Hold me."

I grabbed his hands. The blushness of my face was getting severe. Luckily, the place was dark so he could not see how much I shy on our hands that were now holding like a couple.

"You, happy?" His voice echoed in the tunnel.

I was blabby, but why now, I could not speak plenty? My mouth was closed as if I swallowed my tongue.

"Fira, you okay?"

"Ahm, yes." I could not look at his face. Actually, I was trying not to stare at him. He was so irresistible and every time my eyes peeped on him, our kiss, that embarrassing moment came into my mind.

I was scared that it might repeat at this moment because we were alone. No one would find out or see us.

"Are you scared?" Pyro pinched my hand. He did not know that it sent a couple of electricity throughout my body.

"Nope." I lied. I was not scared of the darkness, but I was afraid of what would happen if he seduced me again or what.

Crap, Fira! Are you beautiful to be seduced by him?

"What's the problem, then?" His voice was sweet.

Why did I suddenly hear a cuddling boyfriend through the tone of his voice?

"I felt...awkward? I mean this is my first time having a date—oh, crap, not to an ordinary werewolf, but to a royal, a king. Not just that, you're my mate. I couldn't believe our situation? I mean yes—you are my mate and then you—yes, you kissed me. My brain was just thinking that it was normal, right? I mean you can kiss me anytime 'cause you are my mate—crap! I'm saying the same thing over and over again." When I talked fast, I forgot to breathe. That was why when I stopped I gasped plenty of air. "In short, I felt awkward."

I gazed at him as he chuckled silently.

Crap. I want to kiss him right now. He is so freaking attractive with his gesture! No, Fira. Come back to your body. Do not bring down your dignity as a woman!

Who would not let her dignity bring down if the man in front of me is the hottest king I have ever met!

Am I starting to blow away my sanity? Crap. I think I would be crazy.

Crazily alluring to him.

"I hate noise, but when it's you...it's soothing to me."

As I dive into the depth of his eyes, I could see the incomparable happiness. He seemed to be more light at this moment even though the darkness was reflecting everywhere.

He is glowing even in dim. Or maybe he is just the Alpha King of Fire who can produce his own light to make things clearer even in the dark? Or perhaps I started to fall for him?

Am I?

"We are almost at the end of the tunnel." He raised our hand that was still fusing and put it on his chest. "Did I say that you're shining?"

"Don't joke." I slapped his shoulder.

"Where did I joke?"

Yeah. I could say that he joked, but not all the time. Maybe now he was serious.

When we reached the mouth of the tunnel, my mouth left open as I glimpsed the human world.

"It's...fantastic."

"You see that all?"

I looked around. My eyes were full of excitement as I gazed at various lights.

"Hmm," I responded to Pyro.

"You are dazzling among those, Dearest."

As I moved my body to the side, our eyes glued to each other.
