Chapter 200
NOT MY BLOOD
FIRA’S POV
I was awake in the middle of the night. I was about to hug Pyro, but he was not here. I immediately sat and gazed around. The silence accompanied me.
“Dearest?” I hung my feet on the bed and when it reached the floor I wore my sandals. I held the comforter and enveloped it throughout my body.
“Dearest?” I woke up in the bathroom and looked for him. He was not around. I rushed towards the closet and grasped the gown for Luna. Since I was sleeping here, it served as my room, too. Pyro placed all of my clothes in his closet. When I was done, I sat on the bed. I would wait for him for a minute. Maybe he just went out and then he would go back in a few seconds.
He did not come back, so I decided to go outside. I was about to open the door when I heard a rustling sound at the other corner of the room. I thought that it was Pyro so I walked closer to it.
I stepped one. “Dearest? Aren’t you going back to sleep?” I inhaled deeply as I was taking the next step. I had no clue why my heart was pounding aggressively. I could hear my own breath in and out as my knee was trembling. “Dearest? Are you there?”
I moved and moved closer to the curtain. My feet froze on the ground when Carter suddenly showed up. He had a knife on his hand while having a grin that made my body shake in fear. I backed away as he walked closer to me.
His burned face was obviously seen. It was not yet healed. The blood on his chest and belly were visible.
How can this crap go out from the Dungeon?
I managed to stand straight and showed him that I was not scared of him. “What brings you here?” My voice was thick and determined to fight at any moment.
“For you, my love.” The horror ran throughout my body when he wiped his mouth, removing the stain of blood from it.
That was gross. Did he eat someone? What a crazy man.
I never expected that he would rush towards me. He held both of my wrists and pinned me at the wall. My back was aching as I could feel the coldness of the cement. I gritted my teeth as I was fighting back. He was about to kiss me when I kicked his belly. I turned around and gave him another flying kick on the face.
Crap! Thanks to Hali! He trained me in this situation even though it hurt him so much when I kicked him. I requested for him to do this because of Carter if he would try to take advantage of me again.
I was about to run to the door when he held my ankle. I dropped on the floor with my face slammed on it. He pulled me to him and positioned his body at my back. I was cursing a lot as I heard him giggling.
“You’re the pain in my ass. Now, even if you cry, this knife will be buried in you.” He threatened me so much.
I sharpened my eyes before I held his head, my hand came from the side of my neck and hit his face on the ground. I could feel the dizziness in his expression when he was gazing at me. He had a nosebleed.
“Seryo!” I screamed so loud. I was aware that Pyro would not leave him without someone who would check on me. I crawled towards the door. I felt nauseated, I had no idea what that was or why I would feel dizzy.
“Sery一” Carter covered my mouth. He was about to strike the knife on my neck when I held it sharp. The pain scattered to my palm as the blood was dripping. I had a cut on it.
“I hate to see the smile on your lips. I loathe your happiness! You must die!” He pushed the knife harder at my neck. The pain on my palm continued to be severe. The sharpness of it was moving and moving into my skin.
I closed my eyes as I was reminding myself why I needed to fight. I placed in my head the smile of my little angel, Ember.
“Ahh!” I pushed him harder. He threw it at the side of the wall. I stood up straight and glared at him as my teeth were gritting. I bent down, grabbed the knife and stepped closer to him. He just laughed as I was coming nearer.
“You can hit me with the knife, but you can’t kill me. What’s the purpose of your bravery? It’s nothing.” He chuckled as if what I was doing was just a joke to him.
The evil grin was established on my lips. “You forget I am not an omega anymore.” I hurried towards him. In one second, my knee was bent on the floor as I stabbed him at his chest. I stabbed him again as the blood was flying to my face.
“I. Am. The. Luna!” I hit him over and over again as the tears in my eyes were flowing, mixing with the blood staining my face.
If I would not kill him now, he would harm us again. I did not want to feel sorry for not doing anything if I could do something to stop him.
I sob as I cover my face with my bloody palms. “I am not an omega! I am not that low born anymore who can’t fight for her own family! Who can;t protect her mother!” I gazed at Carter who was breathing in and out, panting, brunning out of air in his lungs. “I am now the Luna of the Red Moon Pack and I can kill to shield my family!”
The sound of my sob echoed throughout the whole room. I folded my knee as I was burying my face on my thighs.
“No one’s gonna hurt them! No one!” I was not crying because of what I did to Carter. I was crying because at once, I acted strong for the sake of everybody’s safety.
My eyes widened as Carter went towards me. Before he reached me, Seryo cut his neck. His head crawled to the ground.
“Your Majesty, apology. I’m late.” I could see the disappointment on Seryo’s face. “I’m glad. You’re safe.” The next thing Seryo did was shake my entire system. He lowered his knee while his head was bowing. “I’m so sorry for not coming immediately. I’m so sorry.”
The small smile grew on my lips. “King Fire is…” I grabbed plenty of air, “lucky. He has you as his friend.”
“I’m not a friend, Your Majesty. I’m just a guard.”
I managed to tap his shoulder. Then, dragged my body beside the bed and leaned my back on the wall. “Is that how you look at yourself?”
Seryo moved his head up. He never talked, just gazed at me, waiting for my next words.
“When you were in the battle, Pyro always asked the other guards if where Seryo was? Is he safe? Is he wounded? Is he okay? When will he come back?”
The liquid from Seryo’s eyes suddenly dropped. I gave him a grin before talking again. “Don’t be anxious about me. I’m good. I’m great. Just call other guards and Pyro to come here.”
He sniffed two times as he stood up. He lowered his head to me again. “I will never thank you enough for spelling out that information. I…” He gulped his saliva as his Adam’s apple moved up and down. “If the time comes where I need to sacrifice my life. I will do that with all my heart for the Alpha King Of Fire.”
I just nodded my head. He turned his back. I watched him, going away from me.
Pyro said he had no friends since he was young. No, he was wrong. Seryo has been here beside him in his whole life.
When the door opened again, Pyro startled. His knee dropped on the floor as his mouth was barely opened.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Dearest…”
I had no clue why he was crying when he slowly walked towards me. “Dearest…” He raised his trembling hand as he was touching my cheek. I could see the pain in his expression while looking at me.
I shook my head. I looked down at my body. Maybe he was thinking that the stain was on me. “Not my blood.”
