Alpha King of Water

THE HOMECOMING OF NEW BETAS III

ZARYA’S POV

I wish I die.

I prevented myself to drop, even though plenty of wounds I got from the battle. I was not afraid of death, I was fearful of knowing that Hali had already married. My eyes settled on the nice-looking man who was now lifting a little angel. I think she was four years old. The girl was embracing her tiny hands at Hali, whispering something at him.

I wanted to cry. I liked to shout. I desired to just popped like a bubble. Like there was no part of me left in this world. Just like an air who was here, but no one saw it. Just like a moon when it was a new moon, nobody could recognize it.

How come that Hali has a child now? Who is the mother?

On the other side of my heart, I was still glad to see him. I was still merry to know that he was doing great. So did I. Now, I was a beta. My brother and Matilda had survived.

I should celebrate this. I just can’t accept that Hali was now married and having a child. I was not stupid to know that it was his. The way the child hugged him and whispered, they seemed so close. Knowing Hali did not want a kid, knowing Hali was impatient to people… to that child he was soft, his feature, his whole personality.

She is special.

I pushed to hide the pain in the spark of my eyes. One by one, the beta was saying their names and title. I should focus on what I achieved, not on what I failed.

I gazed at my side when someone held my hand. “You’re the warmhearted woman I have ever met.”

I managed to form a smile for Deni Zin. “You are the bravest.”

This was unbelievable, right? We used to fight and almost kill each other, but in our last fight, the rule was completely different. We were not going to fight with each other. We would battle as one, as united. At first, all of them had no interest in being united as one beta of the elemental kingdom. The final battle taught us to love our enemies. To forgive. No one had to believe that it would be possible to be friends with one another since we almost murdered one another.

The flashes of images came to my head. The last battle involved running. We should do that as fast as we could, if the time ended we would just explode and be eliminated. Seo Blood Drop pointed at me, Khal, Matilda, Deni Zin, and Venom as a team. Of course, we could not believe that. We could not accept it at the beginning. We would sleep in the same tent, eat and help each other in the tasks given. The final night was so difficult. We should achieve the finish line, but before that lions, tigers, foxes, and other dangerous wild animals should be defeated, or else they would eat us.

When we were in the middle of the fighting and running, we were not aware of the pit. Most of the players fell from it including Deni Zin. The time was consuming the battle, but no matter what happened I helped her, even though it got most of my time. I managed to hold her hands and lifted her up. Khal and Matilda could not help me, because their focus was on the lions attacking them. We also prohibited changing into our wolf, if we did, automatically we would explode, too. That was how sadistic the play was.

We were prevented to attack each other, we should help, however, Venom was so mad at me. He broke the rules, minding that no one would know. He attacked me and used his full strengths. He could even kill me. He did not care about Deni Zin who was in the middle of the falling on the pit. The pit was high and when you reached the down part, it had so many sharp woods, that it would choke your body until you die. I fought Venom as my worry was on Deni Zin who had difficulties in holding on to the small roots, supporting her body not to drop. She shouted that when she got out from there, she would kill Venom. He just laughed at her. He was the worst person.

In the end, I won against Venom. I was about to slash his throat with my two knives when automatically he explode, his brains, meats, organs… body ripped into pieces just like a bomb. Perhaps, Seo Blood Drop found out that he had any intention of killing me. I was so shocked when I saw the red lights tracing in my hand, that means I got the title of Venom which means the Lord of Overkill. Even though I did not want that, I had no choice, but to accept it.

When I was finished there, I helped Deni Zin. That was the start of her acceptance of me as an individual who had a warm heart until the battle had ended, she did not go far from me. She saved me and I saved her. We became friends in the midst of hatred.

I gazed at the Higher King. He was smiling at me as if he won a treasure. I lowered my head at him. “Greetings, Your Majesty.” He placed his hand at me, benedict me as the newly held beta.

“Zarya Wixx, Daughter of the Great Beta, Poisonous Strawbery, and Lady of Overkill.”

The kings were so surprised, even the Higher King. He even clapped so loud and clapped. “She made it.” Higher King Oswald pointed at me. “I knew it! She’s Zakan Wixx’s daughter.” He was so proud to introduce me to other visitors of the kingdom who came from the other pack. “See? She now has three titles.”

I hoped that was what Hali felt for me. Proud. I went to the Alpha King Of Wind Zephyrus. His smile almost ripped his lips. “Your Majesty.” I lowered my head to him and then next was to… Colden. “Your Majesty.” He just grinned at me and whispered. “I have something to say.” I just nodded.

Then to Alpha King Of Lightning Raiden. “Your Majesty.” When I was in front of Hali, I was frozen. He was still carrying a little girl in his arms. I managed to speak, clearing my throat and easing the nervousness in my chest. “Your Majesty.”

A little hand touched my hair. Her face was too beautiful to be hated. Who is her mother?From NôvelDrama.Org.

“What happened to your face? Does anyone hurt you?” Her little voice was concerned. I did not even know that I had bruises on my face. The last time I looked in the mirror was five days.

“I came from the battle, Your Highness.” My voice was just gentle, as my face was lowered. I was waiting for Hali to say anything.

“You must be so strong.” She touched my cheek. She looked up at Hali. “Can I go to battle, too?”

“When you get old, my love.”

My heart jumped when I heard his voice. He seemed unbothered by my presence. I turned my back with the choking sensation in my heart. I forced myself to remain to stand, even though my vision was slowly blackening.

I was bitten by the venomous snake during the battle.
