Alpha King of Water

I LOVE YOU

HALI’S POV

In terms of shits and fucks. My brothers would always be my backup. They stood strong as the silence in the hall.

“Second motion. King Water is an innocent.” I was so surprised when my mother moved up and said that word.

Suddenly, the entire hall was filled with a scream. “Kastrid?”

“The real guilty.” Seryo was dragging her towards the hall. She was moving uncoordinated to escape from him, but Seryo was too strong.

“Father!” I stood up recklessly. “How can be a woman to do such a thing! I didn’t order her. Someone must!” The panic on my system was too high to handle. If I were the accused, they could have mercy for me. Jailing me at Dungeon would be their option, but to the low-born race like Kastrid. They would kill her without hesitation. That was how justice at the Elemental Kingdom occurred.

“Bring her to the front yard and hang her.” That was an order with my father who did not even put her on trial.

“King Water!” Kastrid was asking for help. She was crying so bad. “King Water, please help me!”

I ran to my father. “Father, she’s an innocent. You can ask for…” I was surprised when Raiden stared at me. So it was true? How? “She won’t do that without someone’s command!”

King Oswald moved forward. His jaw tightened as he left a little distance between our faces. “You dress, you feed, you f*ck the untrustable. Falling in love with whore is a crime.”

“What?” I gritted my teeth so well as the madness was scattering around my body. “I’m not in love with her! It’s just it’s my responsibility to keep her safe because I brought her here! Am in charge and you know what it means!” I froze when I realized that all people were looking at me.

“He doesn’t even know the word respect.”

“How can we trust a king like him?”

“He’s dangerous.”

“Can’t rule the Water Pack either.”

“Bastard.”

The angriness was getting to a high level. I glared at Kastrid who was now on the main door. She was about to move outside when I ordered. “Do not move your ass, Fucker!” I marched towards Seryo and grabbed Kastrid’s arm.

“King Water…”

He moved down his head therefore he could not see my eyes. The low-borns were prohibited to look directly into the eyes of the kings. I was about to run, escaping Kastrid, but someone grabbed my arm. When I looked at him, it was Pyro.

“Can you let a woman run from poisoning our brother? If you do… you have the same color as her.” His silent voice was now burst out.

“You don’t understand. I swore for protection for Kastrid. She has no family and you think she’ll do that without someone’s back?”

Pyro gazed at her. Kastrid was just lowering her head. So she did, but why?

Kastrid removed my hand from her. The tears in her eyes were running. “He’s right, King Water. You are not a murderer like me. Don’t ruin your reputation because of me.” She slowly walked to Seryo and let him drag her to the front yard.

The emotion in my eyes was nothing, but deep inside the shit of me. I could not take this damn thing. Kastrid was like a family to me, too.

“Kastrid is not just a whore to me. You are aware of that, King Fire.” I turned my back at him. The chaos was all around. They were following Seryo and Kastrid at the front yard. They were happy with this freaking scene where the woman would be hung. The woman would die. They did not even bother to ask who command her to do that.

My forehead formed waves when Colden and Zarya were accompanying each other. They walked towards me.

“I ordered the both of you to stay at the Hide Out House! What if I was guilty? They’ll hang you, too!” I gritted my teeth as I said that to Zarya.

“Hali一”

“Don’t call me Hali. We’re in front of people.” I managed my anger to settle down. I would never expect this would happen.

I marched away from them. I moved the crowd aside as I walked. Zarya and my brothers followed me. I had so much pity in my heart to see how Kastrid cried. I failed to protect her as I promised to. The scene popped inside my head when e day I met her.

“Come.” I offered my hand to the woman who had messy hair and was a victim of brutality. “Come and I promise nobody’s gonna hurt you again.”

From that moment she accepted my hand. I swore for protection to this woman. She was nothing for others, but she was something to me. Like a little sister. I could not stand, watching her die, hang with that shit, and get her life.

I was about to turn my back when someone appeared at my side. “Watch, my beloved son.”

I blew a harsh air as the giggle was on my face. She was the one who plan this! My crazy witch mother!

“Watch how that woman dies. You won’t fuck her again.” She created an evil grin on her lips. “You need someone to sustain your needs, but make sure, you will never be attached to them anymore.”

“You, motherfucker!” My jaw clenched. I closed my hand tightly. I prohibited myself to make a scene even though all of them were used to my disrespected attitude.

My crumpled palm compactly. Kastrid’s sobbing was getting severe. The rope was circled on her neck. What made me so bad as she was looking at me. Her beautiful red-blonde hair was now messy. The tears were flooded on her face. She was a silent woman when she was crying. However, now, she looked broken. So broken and I could not do something about that.

I will avenge you whoever the person behind this.

I gritted my teeth as I watched the rope was tightened on her neck. I held my breath as I watched the woman I promised to protect, slowly kill.

“Trash justice. Garbage kingdom.” I whispered to myself.

“Glad you see.” I was startled when my mother talked. “This is what happened when you are low born. Killing you is like killing a flea.

Suddenly, I had a knowledge of why she made me watch. She wanted me to realize that this kingdom was unorganized and inequality was not implemented.

“You should be a king, so you can’t kill innocent.” She chinned up. Somehow. I felt what she felt when his beloved man was murdered.

Possibly, she was right. She was correct from the very beginning. I was just not accepting her correctness because I was focusing on the bad things she did to me which was not really a bad thing. It made me strong.

I saw what was Kastrid’s words, spelled out on her mouth before her body hung to the tree. She said, “I love you.”

I can’t say I never love you.
