Alpha King of Fire

YOUR FAULT

FIRA’S POV

I bent down to place a glass of water on Janus’ table. Like the previous days, he was always in his office. I positioned my body on his back, massaged his forehead. “Still exhausted?”

“Yeah.” He closed his eyes for a bit. “Where’s Ember?”

“She’s with the Omegas, they were looking for butterflies.”

He opened his eyes and looked up at me. “Did you see the doctor?”

“Not yet. I’m feeling well now. Don’t worry.”

He faced me, wrapped his hands on my waist.

“Alpha, I’ll bring you coffee!” The door opened. It was Caroline with her wide smile. Her smile faded as she viewed our position.

“Leave us alone.”

“But?”

“No buts.” In one sharp look, she hurried walking out of the room. I could see the madness in her eyes.

I held Janus’ cheek. “Lay on the bed. You need a minute of resting.”

“Yeah, I need to.” The smirk formed on his lips. He leaned his big arm on my shoulder, dragged me out of his office, and brought me to the bed. The nervousness was filled my system. I was relieved when he just lay next to me, hugged my back. I was in a side position, facing the window. In just a second, I heard him snoring. He must be so tired.

I shifted my weight to face him. I stroked his cheek and rested my cheek against his chest. When he was sleeping, I was not scared of him so I grabbed the opportunity to approach him.

He is important to me. I would not deny that. I want all the best for him. I am proud that even if he was aware that Ember was not his daughter, he was still kind to her. He was doing the role of a father.

He moved, pulled me closer to his, and buried his face on my neck. Little by little, my eyelid was beginning to be heavy until the drowsiness consumed me.

“Mama, Papa!”

We woke up when we heard the tiny voice of Ember, she was holding a scroll.

“I drew something! This is my gift for my Mama and Papa!”

I blinked two times as my vision was blurred. I gave her a cheerful smile as I settled my back on the lean board. Janus was snoring.

“Papa!” Ember was about to shake his shoulder.

I grabbed her small hand. “Don’t. Let Papa rest. He is exhausted to his duty.”

She showed me the gladness in her expression before nodding. She grasped again the scroll, exhibiting her drawing. I tried to be genuine when I looked at it. There was a child in the middle, a mother and a father. The father was holding another baby.

“Papa said, he needs a son. It’s him!” Her tiny index finger pointed at the little one held by his father. “He’s so cute, adorable little boy! When he grows up, he’ll lead the Red Moon Pack.”

I stroked her black shiny long hair. “That’s?” I gasped for air as my hand went to her chin, “amazing.”

“Mama, when you carry the baby, Papa will like me the same, right? Right, Mama?” She blinked one time with her cute eyes.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“Of course.”

I heard the voice of Janus. He was awake. He hugged Ember and kissed her cheek. “Why would I not like you? You’re my daughter.”

“But I’m not a boy?” There was a tone of sadness in her voice. “Omegas talked about a useless Princess.”

“What they said?” His voice was just low, but I could see how dangerous it was.

“They told me that I’m look like you. By any chance, I’m not your daugh一”

“Fira, get Ember. I’ll have some business.” He stood up recklessly. I watched the closing of his fist, the clenching of his jaw, and his deadly look.

Suddenly, I carried Ember. I was scared of what would happen. “Listen to Mama. Cover your ears and no matter what happens. Don’t?” I gulped my saliva as the shaking of my hands was visible. “Don’t move out, okay?”

Her innocent face nodded. She was grabbing the scroll tightly. Will Papa look at this?” She raised that.

“Yes.” I touched his forehead using my lips. “I’ll be back!”

From the moment I opened the door, the blood was surrounding the soil.

“Who the f*ck told to Ember that she is not my daughter!” Janus was holding a whipping tool. The Omegas were kneeling down, crying, bleeding.

“If you can’t tell me, I’ll use my sword and cut all of your necks!”

I hurried, going to him, and held his hand. “Please stop this. You’re frightening them.”

He just stared at me with the darkness in his eyes. In an instant, he changed into a beast that no one would want to see.

I moved backward as I could not do anything about the situation. All eyes were on me. I was aware the rumor was spreading. Who would not be seeing Ember’s features? She has no inheritance from Janus. She is the combination of me and King Fire.

I viewed Carter was watching, he loved to see the sobs of a lady. I could see the grin on his face.

I almost jumped in shock when another whipped sound filled the area. The ladies were six. Pleading and quaking their bodies every time Janus hit them.

“I’ll spill out!” One of them talked. She walked using her knee towards Janus. “We heard Mistress Caroline with her Omega, talking about the Princess. They?” Her eyes bulged as the figure of Caroline was visible at my back. She rubbed her palm, bowed her head, and cried out loudly. “I’m so sorry, Alpha. I’m the one who said that!”

“What’s your basis for accusing my daughter as not mine!” He was giggling, hitting her mercilessly. She had bruises and cut in a different portion of her body. She hid her face so it would not target by his whip.

I closed my eyes. I did not want to see the situation. For sure, Mistress Caroline was the one who said that to my child. I saw the way the omega reacted when she viewed her. She feared her. In conclusion, she accepted the whip that should she never have deserved.

Janus did not stop slashing the poor lady until she collapsed. The whole Red Moon Pack witnessed how cruel he was. They could not look directly into his eyes.

“If anyone dares to treat my Princess as a stranger and spread rumor about her. Death is the punishment!” He looked around, gazed one by one with an authority at his voice. “Understand?”

“Yes, Alpha!” They answered him loudly.

Janus’ attention went to me. He grabbed my arm and dragged me towards our room. I could not stop crying when he ripped my shorts. She brought me to the side table. I held the corner of it hardly. I sobbed silently as he invaded me.

“This is your fault after all.” He whispered in my ear.
