Alpha King of Water

KING ICE’S REAL COLOR

ZARYA’S POV

“Are you tired?” Bram stood beside me inside the elevator. I was going home since the duty was already finished.

“Not yet, Sir. A bit sleepy.” A stretch, ear by ear grin was formed on my lips. From that day, I knew that he was Serenity’s brother. I respect him genuinely. He may be a bad person, but he was not a bad brother to her.

“Would you want to visit my house? For dinner?”

My system was covered with shock. “Sure, Sir.”

My mission was still continued, however, I excluded Bram from it. I did not care if Hali would be mad at me. My friend’s family is like a family to me, too.

When the elevator burst open, my world stopped moving. Amari and Trace Hendrix were revealed right in front of me. They were about to enter the elevator. Amari’s arms were encircled on Trace waist.

“Zarya!” Amari ran towards me. “I didn’t know that I will see you he一”

I hurried towards her, dragging her away from the two men. “Don’t call me Zarya, call me Zarry. What are you doing here?” I was breathing in and out. I surely knew what kind of person Bram was, but Trace Hendrix and Caspian Gatlin, I was in the process of knowing them.

“I’m with Trace, he’s my boyfriend.” Amari showed me her widget smile as she peeked at him. I looked back at them. Everyone would fall in love with Trace Hendrix, nevertheless, he was not a typical guy. He was a man with dirty fantasies and I did not want my best friend to be one of her toys.

“Do you know him?”

“Of course! I won’t be here if I didn’t.” Her lips almost ripped due to the big stretch. I could see her immeasurable happiness.

“I mean his desire一”

“I didn’t see his dick yet! Seems big.” She giggled as she wrapped her hands around my waist. She even dragged me back to them. “Bram Jenkins is hot either. Serenity should tell us about his brother and his friends.”

I could not speak, my knee was weakening when I could not do anything but stare at Amari. I must not watch ripping her apart. I could not handle it if I lose another friend. I should act fast with my mission. I intertwined my hands on my belly as I followed them with my stare. Amari waved her hands at me… happily.

Maybe there is no harm yet?

“You know her?” Bram asked me.

“Hmm. She’s me and Serenity’s friend.”

“Amari Ledes?” Bram was surprised. “She should move away from Trace unless she’ll do whatever he wants.” He had no expression on his face.

The realization has beaten me. I moved my feet as fast as I could. I was about to follow them when Bram held my upper arm. “Don’t interrupt them again. Trace might not like it.” \

“What if一”

He shook his head and talked. “He’s in a good mood. I knew what he looks like. He won’t do bad… today.”

“Today? What about tomorrow? Aren’t you worrying about my friend? She’s Serenity’s friend, too?”

“And Trace is my friend either.” He turned his back on me. I followed him with the huge steps.

“If Trace does something unacceptable to my friend… I will…” Kill him. I said those words just inside my head. Bram maybe knows me as Zarya Wixx, the human who was left alone because her family burned, but he was not aware of what kind of Zarya I am now.

“You will?” He had two steps toward me. I felt the world was slowing due to my fear and at the same time livid at his friend, Trace.

“Nothing.” I passed him by. When we reached the exit of the Jerkins Enterprise, my feet were stuck on the floor. Colden was waiting for me, smiling widely, and standing in front of a red car. He was wearing a light blue polo shirt, black pants, and white with the combination of blue shoes. He raised his hand and waved his finger shortly.

“Is that your boyfriend?” Bram asked me with his wrinkled forehead.

“Ye… yeah. I mean…” I shook my head in frustration. Colden did not know how risky it was to be in this place. He even showed everyone his face. Most of the women who passed by, and gazed at him as if he was one of the supermodels. I hurried towards him.

“What about the dinner!” Bram shouted at me as I was running faster.

“Some other time. Sorry, Boss!” I waved my hand without gazing at him. I grabbed Colden’s hand and hopped him inside the car. “Are you crazy!”

“With you? Yes.” He gave me a big smile as he adjusted his body on the driver’s seat.

My lips lifted up and stared at him for a second. I hit his shoulder. “You will be involved in this mission. Do you want that?”

“Yeah. Can I apply with his office, too?” His face looked innocent. He maneuvered the car as we talked. Unlike Hali’s driving, he was just gentle like his personality.

“No. Those people are worst than animals. You will just unsecured.”

“I am the Alpha King of Ice. You forgot?”

I rolled my eyes, crossed my arms, and looked at the Subway. “The King who can’t hit a sword.”

“I can.” His eyes were on the road, them he glimpsed at me quickly. “I just chose not to. Cruelty will never be in my option unless… I require to fight for you.”

“What a sweet man.” I chuckled cutely. Actually, we were just friends, but I was trying to date him. Perhaps, it could work. “Why did you fetch me anyway?”

“You didn’t notice? I always fetch you.”

Yeah? He was correct. He fetched me when my duty was over. I just did not throw an eye on him. If I did not hit by Hali’s playing gesture, I would not see Colden was beside me all the time. He did not even sleep at night because he was afraid, he might do something horrible to me. He did not forget his chain to wear, even if it made him suffer.

“What did you monster do when it appear?” Out of nowhere, I asked him.

He let out a frustrated air. “Do you really want to know?”

“Yup.”NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

I was startled when he maneuvered the car towards the side. He moved his body to face me, leaned his arm on my chair, and looked at me seriously. “Guess how many women had died because my monster mask me?”

My mouth moved open. “You saying?” I gulped my saliva, clearing my throat.

“Even though you told my monster to stop, it is deaf and blind. It won’t stop. No one can control it… It will get everything you have until you left nothing until… you are useless.”

“I can’t understand.”

“You don’t need to understand it. You’ll witness it on your own one of these days.” He moved his head down. “I can’t make love without killing a woman.”

“What?” My forehead formed waves.

“It was not my intention. I can’t prohibit myself. I just finding someone who’ll calm him down.” I saw the sorrow in his eyes. “The king who can’t use the sword, a king who can’t fight… a king who promotes peace talk rather than battle is also the coward king who… murdered hundreds of women.”

I did not know how to respond. I was finding the right words to say, It took me so long until I could not say anything anymore. I only moved and hugged him so tight.

“Coming from you… it was not your intention.” I buried my face in his shoulder.

“But it happened. I can’t revive life. I can’t change the fact that I steal they’re supposed to be days in living, they probably gather more memories. It won’t not gonna happen anymore because…” He embraced his arms on my body. “Because they are dead and it was me who killed them.”

I caressed his back, moving up and down. I felt fear. King Ice is ruined. I feared breaking him more when I stayed by his side. Even if I heal him, he would still be broken at the end of the day. Perhaps, worse than what he was now, destroyed beyond repair.

I tapped his dorsal in a slow motion. “Forgive and forgive. It’s not easy, but it’s the only way to unchain yourself from hurting.”

“I am afraid, Zarya. It will be worse when you tear me.” His embrace began to tighten. “Please, don’t do that.”

I felt like suffocated between two rocks. How can I move those two rocks away without breaking them?
