Alpha King of Fire

KINGS’ LAUGHTER

PYRO’S POV

Her adorable chuckle made me chuckle, too. I was teaching her the simple keys on the piano. I watched her small hands placed to where I taught.

“We have no piano in our pack, but Papa established recyclable woods so I can play.” I could see the spark of happiness in the depths of her eyes. Her small voice was just like a piece of music in my ear.

“How’s your Mama?”

Her cute small eyes widened. “You know my Mama?”

“Yes, we’re?” I gazed down on the piano, “friends.”

“Really? Mama is not feeling well. Papa said she might be pregnant.”

I could not move my body. It was like the cold water was bathed into my body.

“Or maybe she’s sick? She’s taking care of me all night, all day. I felt sorry for my mother, she has a naughty child. I promised her, I’ll not be the cause of her headache again.”

“Why was that so?”

“Last time, I played at my Papa’s office, Papa got mad, he didn’t talk to me, but I heard she was annoyed at Mama. I don’t want them to fight because of me.”

I felt like listening to the kid version of Fira. I remembered when we met each other, she was talking so blabby. This kid was doing the same thing and it was not annoying me unlike when Zephyrus was speaking.

“Did your Papa hurt your Mama?” My ear was sharpened. I wanted to hear the truth. If he gave Fira difficulty, I would not hesitate to put a fire on their pack.

“I don’t know. I didn’t see him hitting Mama. I just saw her swollen eyes.”

I felt that I could not breathe. I was thinking the wrong way of how she lived. She might be abused by Janus.

“What is this again, your majesty?” She pointed at the white key.

She enjoyed listening to me. In four years, I have not used the instrument. I was just looking at it. However, there was a light feeling in my chest to make this kid hear my music.

“You’re great. Good job.” I smiled happily when I heard the last tone of the song that I taught her. I stroked her hair like how I did to Fira. There was something in my chest. It was a happiness that would never fade, especially when she embraced her tiny hands on my waist. “Thank you, your majesty!”

“Call me Pyro. That’s my name.”

“Am I so special to know your name, your maj一Pyro?” She scratched her head with embarrassment on her face.

“You are.” Like how special your mother is to my heart.

“Thank you!”

If I were Zephyrus, I giggled at her. She is so lovely.

“Ember! Get off your hands on me!”

I heard Janus was outside. Ember immediately got down to the chair, I helped her to stomp on the ground. She ran so fast, but before she left me, she winked. “Don’t tell Papa I went to you.”

I nodded my head slightly.

“Promise?” She was making sure. I only saw Fira in her actions, especially in her features.

“Promised.” I raised my palm.

“Thank you again, King Fire! I’ll tell Mama about you!” Her tiny voice was shouting as if she was old.

When she was out of my room, sadness covered my heart.

Congratulations, Dearest. You brought such a beautiful angel into this world. How I wish I am her father.

I moved closer to the door, peeking at her. She was running like she was a trained child. I watched the sigh of relief on Janus’ face as he viewed her daughter.

“Where did you go, Ember? I told you not to go far, do I?” Janus lifted him, placed her on his arm. Her minute hands enveloped on his neck. She rested her chin on his shoulder.

“I just played in the hallway. Don’t worry about me, Papa. I’m a big girl.”

Papa?

That endearment was aching my chest, hearing the sweetness in her voice made me envious of Janus. She was captivating.

“I thought a big girl doesn’t pee on the bed?” Janus chuckled. Imagine how he was ruthless, strict, and hard on others. When it came to Ember, he was gentle and soft.

“That’s embarrassing!” She hid her face on Janus’ neck.

I watched them walking away. I went out in the hallway to have a great view of them. I could hear their chuckling.

I found myself, stepping to the rock where I could see the scenery of the waterfalls where I and Fira had a beautiful moment under the Full Moon.

“Oh, this place is wonderful!” I heard the voice of Zephyrus. There were six hands leaning on my both shoulders.

When I was down, they were next to me, freaking out, doing crazy things. Having brothers was not a bad thing anymore. Yes, they were sometimes annoying. Yes, they destroyed the order of my room. Yes, their voices were the most irritating noise I had ever heard.

And yes, I began to love their company unlike before, I never cared about their presence.

“Can I join?”

We looked at our back and saw Raiden. He was smiling so wide. I never felt that I was alone even in those times when my heart was breaking into pieces.

“I wonder?” Hali stared at my face. “Ember looks like you from some angle.”

My heart rhythm changed into a fast beat. “Are you joking?”

“I’m not.” Hali examined my eyes, lips, and nose. “In some ways, she gets your figure.”

“That’s impossible.” My voice was just low. I moved my head in left and right with disbelief.

“That’s possible!” They all said in a loud voice.

I remembered every single detail before she left. I could still hear her moan in my ears.

Damn!

I looked down on the water where she was lying. We were making love countless times. That was possible, but she married him after a day. Probably, they would have created offspring. Maybe at the time during her pregnancy, she was thinking of me that was why her daughter in some angle grabbed my features.

That is what it is.

I never believed that Ember was my daughter. I saw how Janus took care, touched, and loved her. Ember told me also that she made a mistake in his office, but he did not even shout at her. That means he completely loves that kid. If I am his father, he would probably hate the child so much.

“No, that would not happen. You’re just imagining.”

The silence covered the place. “Yeah.” Hali blew a loud sigh. “We must not be forcing something that is never gonna happen. Pyro is a virgin king.”

I gulped the obstacle in my throat. I almost laughed. Hali showed the sadness on his face.

“If he’s not a virgin, surely she f*cked Fira one or two times, it won’t create a child.” The shoes of Raiden landed on Zephyrus’ face.

“Don’t you ever say fu一I mean that bad word!”

As if you didn’t f*ck your wife?” Hali immediately ran as he saw the pair of those shoes was being held by Raiden.

Colden was chuckling softly unlike Zephyrus, I could see his tonsil as he was laughing so Damn loud.
