Chapter 207
KARMA IS REAL
FIRA’S POV
I could not trust that Saza! She was so ruthless when I was an omega. I will never forget what she did to me.
Lately, I could not see him in the kitchen. Probably, she was avoiding me. When I was passing by in the hallway, she just bowed. I heard her talking to one of the guards. She was also involved at Carter. I thought that she was responsible for why Carter escaped from the Dungeon. I did not say this to Pyro because I did not want him to worry. His schedule was occupied. Our wedding was incoming and everyone was focused on that.
I slowly changed my clothes. When I was done, I touched my belly. “Don’t stress out. Hold on.” My eyes looked sharpened. “We have the last battle and we’ll make sure… we will be the winner.”
I put the cup in my head and then the leather jacket. Pyro was the owner of it. I walked to the mirror of the bathroom and then stared at my reflection. My pale lips were obviously seen at my features. I grabbed the lipstick from my pocket. This was given by Aither when I was in the Human World. I slowly swiped the red lipstick at the curves of my lips.
“I’m a low born, but I have a high class heart.” My palm was gradually closing.
I walked out of the hospital while I was having brave eyes as if everything that touched my eyes would be born.
I looked down at the paper in my hand. When Pyro went out to find Ember, I saw a rolled paper on his leather jacket.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Come to the East of the Woods and witness your daughter to die.
Princess
I had no clue who princess she was. However there was no princess who could do something like this except… Princess Ziraya.
During my travel to the Woods, I was just on foot, preparing my wolf form for the later battle. There was a secret that they did not know. The memories of the past came to my head.
Hali settled his hand at the top of my head. I was kneeling down in front of him. After we talked about the plan for the gatherings. He summoned me to the riverside. At first, I was confused why. He ordered me to lower my body to him. I was surprised when he chanted the words.
“I… Hali Aiker, the Alpha King of Water presenting my power to Fira Hayes. May all the techniques and strategies I know will be reflected in her; to manifest her the strength and bravery to fight at any battle. I won’t offer you anything but… a strong woman who will fight for me when necessary. Who will fight for herself and for the King Fire… for her family.” He paused a little and continued. “By this… she will never feel grief again. She can now stand without fear and confront any war to protect her loved ones.” I heard his blowing of air. He stopped talking as the silence filled the whole area. I thought he was done so I looked up at him.
“Rise… the Luna Queen of Fire.”
I bit my lips as I was prohibiting the tears in my eyes from dropping. Hali was the reason why I had courage to fight. He did that for his brother and for me. For Ember. He marked in my head the kinds of techniques that I may use.
I arrived in the East. I blinked two times as I was staring at the abandoned building. The warm air touched my skin. I was hearing the dancing trees, the crackling of leaves, the howling, the… crap! Ember was crying.
“Don’t be afraid, my love. Mama is here.”
My thoughts said that. My eyes widened when Ember responded.
“There’s a burned face monster here. I’m scared of her.”
“It’s okay. I have your back. Stay still.”
She did not respond. I heard footsteps coming towards me. I was sure that she was Princess Ziraya even if she wore the cloak with a hoodie. Her face was fully hidden. Only her right eye was exposed.
“You’re here.” Even if I could not see her face. I guess she was smirking.
“As you can see.” I chinned up. “Give me back my daughter.”
“Am I a fool? You can’t get away from me without dying.” She gestured to his men to corner me. They moved, encircling me. I just gave her a deadly smirk.
“Wanna see what King Fire did to my face?” She slowly removed the hoodie. I grasped for air as my ear, eyes and sense of touch were getting ready. It would be a trick. That was according to the strategies of Hali in my head.
I could not move my body when her features were completely shown to me. The rest of her face was burned out for her right eye.
“Look what he did to me! Did you recognize me? Huh! He ruined my face and I’ll do the same thing to you and to your child!”
The curves in my lips grew. “That’s not shocking. He’s the Alpha King of Fire.” I looked around as I placed my hands on both of my pockets. “Fire… what do you expect?”
“You! Count your breath! This is your last time breathing!” She was gritting her teeth.
“Don’t you have contentment?”
Her one burned little eyebrows raised up. “What?”
“You’re a royal. You’re beautiful. You have everything in your hands; a power, a respect, and all but… you chose to betray King Fire.”
“He’s the one who betrayed me!”
“From the start, you planned.” I looked at her and felt bad for what happened to her face. “I pity you… Power isn’t the issue to you.” I looked up at the sky. It was gray. I thought the rain was coming. “Do you know that happiness isn’t the problem of people?” I gazed directly into her eyes. “It’s the contentment.”
“F*ck contentment! My life was destroyed because of all of you! Even my family couldn’t know me!”
“That’s your consequence.” A huge smile established in my lips. “Karma is real.”
