Alpha King of Water

THE BREAKING NEWS

ZARYA’S POV

I had no idea why I was in front of Hali, sitting with him, inside the restaurant. I thought he had no money. I touched my forehead and massaged it. Perhaps, he forced me to be with him? The happening was so fast.

“Eat those damn.” He pointed at the shrimps and other recipes.

“I’m not hungry.” I held my nape, shaking my head to avoid dizziness.

“You drink with Colden and now, you can’t even remember. What if that Bram一”

“He’s not like you, Asshole.” I blinked two times as I was fighting my eyelid to close until I gave up. I dropped on the table…no I fell on Hali’s palm.

“Bring me to my apartment. I’m sleepy.”

I heard his loud sigh. Suddenly. I felt him lifting me on his arm. I wrapped my hand around his neck. I could not take it anymore. I was too sleepy.

My eyes were closed when I felt a smoothness of bed on my back. I blinked three times, my vision was so blurred. I was not in my apartment.

“Sleepwell, Poor Little Thing.” I heard Hali talk, one second, his lips touched my forehead. I felt a comforter wrapping into my body until I fell asleep deeply.

The morning came, I knew I was not in my apartment, the scene was different, the color of the room was cream, and the bed was so soft. My eyes widened when I felt that there were hands hugging my belly. I immediately stood up, tightening the grip on the comforter that was surrounding my body. I had a sigh of relief when my clothes were still on. I could not feel any strange sensation.

I stared at Hali, he was deeply sleeping. The white blanket was on his body. His upper body was exposed, he had no clothes up there, but surely, he had a boxer. He looked so peaceful. I looked down at my body.

Did he just sleep there? He did not take me or what? Since when he become a gentleman?

It took me a minute of gazing at him before I realized that I had work today. I hurried to find my things and fixed myself. I gazed at Hali.

Why did you bring me here? We have no intimacies, don’t we? What do you call this?

I rolled my eyes. I was about to leave him when he talked. “Where are you going?”

“Home.” I held the doorknob. I was about to spin it when he suddenly went towards me. He held my hips and threw me on the bed, it bounced up and back due to my weight.

“I’m going! I have work today!” I breathe in the air, wanting to avoid the fear that started to be filled my system.

He climbed on the bed, smirking at me. This man had bad attention to me. I needed to find ways to escape, but when I stared into his eyes, I felt weak. Hali cupped my cheek, and moved his face towards my face, suddenly, he stopped. He gazed at my face for so long. I had no idea what was happening to him. He moved slowly towards mine, he glued the tip of our nose. My heart was trying to fight the situation. We said goodbye to our physical contact, but what is he doing now?

His eyes looked down at my lips. I had no courage to move or punch him in the face and say asshole. My body wanted this, I longed for him. However, I did not want to be fooled. He did not like me. He did not care about me.

What should I do? I have no option, except to cut our contact.

I liked to touch his cheek, too. I desired to kiss him as if there was no tomorrow. I loved to be with him all day, doing such stupid things or just staring at him.

He moved closer, but he did not continue the kiss. I could smell his fresh breath, the coolness in his mouth was addictive.

“Fuck life,” Hali whispered while he was caressing my cheek. His fingers were moving up and down to my neck. I could not understand what was he thinking right now. He had no emotion. “Did you and Colden a lover?”

I managed to ease his hand on my cheek, even though I liked his touch. I moved out my body from the bed. “Why do you care?” I walked to the door. Every step was heavy. I liked to be with him every single minute. No question. No talking. Just hugging, cuddling, kissing, making love, just like a usual couple.

I gasped for air when suddenly I felt his hug from my back. His body was creating heat to my skin, a thrill to my body, and moving butterflies in my stomach. I was deaf with my loud heart pumping in happiness.

His chin was resting on my right shoulder while his hands were crossed to my belly. He did not say anything.

“What do you want, Hali? We ended this…why did you get me?” I managed not to create tears in my eyes.

“Does everything have an explanation?” He whispered into my ear. His voice was gentle, low, and soft, soothing my heart.

“In your case? Yes. What do you want me to do? Fuck you? Go in bed and一”

“If I want that, I must take you last night. You have no strength to fight back.” His hands gripped my body and tightened.

“Then, what! What do you need!” The tears in the corner of my eyes were creating.

He blew an air. He did not respond. He just buried his face in my neck, swaying as if there was music to make him dance. The since covered the room. I could not hold my tears, they rolled to my cheek.

Why am I crying again? He is an asshole! My tears should not be offered to him.

“No crying.” His husky manly voice filled my ear. His words were repeated in my head over and over again. I missed him. I longed for his touch.

“Hali…” I faced him. I did not mind if he would push me away after this. I did not care if he would shout at me or punish me. I just need to say, to burst out because my heart felt like exploding. The pain was unbearable. Maybe…maybe he cared. Perhaps we had mutual feelings?

My sob could be heard in the room. I touched his cheek. The pain became severe when I saw nothing in the depths of his eyes as if he was looking at the thing without value to him. No spark. No love. No cherish. Nothing. Just me and Zarya, the Poor Little Thing who have no home.

“Hali… Io一” My words were cut by the ring of my phone. It was in my pocket. I sniffed three times before I looked down, got the phone, and place it on my ear. “Hello?”

“Aren’t you going to the office? It’s already nine in the morning.”

My eyes widened. I looked at the name, even though my vision was blurred I could see who it was. “I’m sorry, Boss. give me an hour. I will be there.” I hang up the call. I was about to hurry when Hali held my hand.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“I’m gonna kill them on my own, so you can go back to the Elemental Kingdom.”

“No…” I raised my two eyebrows. “You brought me to this mission, I started… I will be the one who will end it.” I managed to fight his glare at me. “If you stop me, you will never be Hali because I believe that the Alpha King of Water is a man of his words.” I did not wait for him to reply. I turned my back on him and left.

I headed to my apartment to bathe in hurry. Colden was gazing at me while I was putting on make-up. I knew he wanted to ask where I had been. I gave him a small smile and answered his question even if he did not spell it out.

“Don’t worry about me. I just went somewhere.”

“You were not with Hali, weren’t you?” The park of his eyes told me I should talk with his desirable answer.

I gazed at the window. “I was with him.”

He was surprised, but he did not talk. “Please don’t think dirty. I didn’t do a mistake.”

Colden nodded his head. “I’ll fetch you again after work.”

“Aren’t you going home to the Elemental Kingdom?” I was just wondering. He was here all the time. It was not Freedom Day, his father would be mad.

“What should I do there? You are here after all.” H

I smiled soundly. Colden gave me a thrill with his lines. He was so cute. He was the man who would not be boring to look at.

I went out of the room, rushing to fix myself when I saw the television news.

“One woman was found dead in the river at three in the morning. She floated in the water. She has hundreds of stabs and was probably raped. Her identification card revealed her name, Amari Ledes.”
