Alpha King of Water

Chapter 1

FAMILY MASSACRE

ZARYA'S POV

We were werewolves that turned our back to the Elemental Kingdom to live peacefully in the city. We never regret signing the paper and choosing to be ordinary people until...

"Hey, let's go buy popcorn!" My fourteen-year-old brother Zaiden was holding the wallet of our mother.

"Don't get too much, Zay, the money needs to last for a week!" Mom shouted from the kitchen, she was washing the dishes.

I lay on the couch while grasping my phone, I was scrolling on social media, stalking my crush, and eventually threw the phone on the center table.

The lovely boy from the school has a girlfriend!

I am eighteen years old, taking my college degree, and burning my eyebrow at the start of the school year. That was the most difficult part of the life of a teenager. We were living in the city for about three years now.

At times, I was missing the place where I used to live, the Elemental Kingdom. My mom and dad were fighters, Betas. They were a great warrior and servant of King Oswald. However, even though I wanted to be like them, they decided to move to the humans' place. They told us the essence of having a hushed environment, normally interacting with human beings rather than gamble our lives day by day and never knew if we could survive the battle, or we found ourselves lying on the soil while gasping for air due to the blood loss or wounds.

"Buy me a bar of chocolate! I'm heartbroken! Pick up the pieces of my heart on the floor!" I stomped my feet on the corner of the couch, super irritable. I acted as if I was crying.

"Duh!" Zay waved his hand with a dollar on his hand. "You just saw him yesterday and yet you're devastated? How flirt you are!" He was chuckling, teasing me with his playful grin.

I kicked him with control. Perhaps, he might report me to Mom and Dad. He was a crying baby. The last time I punched him in the face, he cried and acted as if I had killed him to death. We were just playing at that time. He was just a good actor. Then, when Mom and Dad were scolding me, he brought out his tongue, annoyed me so freaking badly.

"Zaiden Wixx, for your information. The heart knows where it beats! You're envying me because I'm the hottest woman on our Campus. How about you? No one loves you! I pity you!" I irritated him back. I stood up while swaying my hips. I walked upstairs, looking at my nails. I was thinking of putting a red stain on it.

By the way, I don't care if the lovely boy has a lover. I can find another target.

In my third step on the stairs, I looked back at Zay. He was operating my phone. That was why I hurried towards him as if I had wings I would fly just to get back my phone.

"Hey, you, Little Boy! You're invading my privacy!"

He chuckled, shook his head. OMG! He read my messages!

"Oh, Baby, where can I see you? Did you eat? Eat me." He laughed so hard, he even touched his belly while rolling on the map. "I'll tell Dad!" He ran quickly, towards the stair, but I suddenly grabbed his clothes on the back.

"I'll give you ten dollars, just don't!" I rubbed my palm, and pleaded with him while my eyes were rolling.

A grin formed on his lips. "Higher."

"Twenty dollars!"

In the middle of our argument, I heard the sound of the doorbell. Mom walked closer to the door and opened it. My attention went to her direction when the blag sound covered the whole area. It felt like my world stopped rotating as the blood flowed on the floor.

"Mom!" I and Zay were about to run towards her. We paused when the group of people with black masks, cloaks, and warrior garments were visible. They invaded our house. I think fast. It was not a good thing if Zay went closer to her, so I grabbed his hand and ran as fast as we could, going to the second floor.

"Dad!"

My body trembled. I could not talk or move when we viewed his body lying on the floor, bathing in blood, and had more than twenty stabs, the cause of his death.

When the curtain flew by air, the silhouette of a man could be seen behind it. I was about to hold my brother again to escape, but it was too late. The group of intruders was in front of us. I had nothing to say, I just closed my eyes and waited for my death. I had no one, except my brother. When I lived and escaped from this, my life would just be miserable.

A man knelt down, held my chin, and yanked my hair. "This won't happen to your family if your parents were not a Beta at the Elemental Kingdom."

I heard the sob of my brother, they were getting him.

"You can kill me, but not my brother. Please!" The tears rolled to my cheek until they flooded my face. I could feel the stinging sensation in my chest that continued to cause pain in my heart. I died from the moment I saw my mother and father bathing in blood, and not breathing.

"Please, I'm begging一" I gasped for air, could not continue.

In front of me, they behead my poor little brother. There was no sound coming out of my mouth. I silently cried as I crawled to his lower body. I could feel the gritting of my teeth, the intensifying grief, the blockage in my chest.

I wish it was just a nightmare, but by touching the hand of my brother. By hearing my own suffering, it was the reality. They murdered my family, never left anyone to me.

The sword pointed at my neck, I looked up at him. I memorized every single detail of his face.

"Don't leave me breathing." I closed my eyes, letting the liquid stream my face. I clenched my fists, grabbing my brother's hand tightly.

I shut my eyes as he raised his sword and was about to behead me like what he did to Zaiden.

"I'll do it!" The man behind the curtain suddenly showed up in front of me. "I need privacy. I want to taste her."

The dread crawled all over my whole system.

No...

The laughter covered the room. The man who cut the head of my brother tapped the shoulder of the guy. "That's my son."

They turned their back, leaving me with the stranger. I backed away as he moved towards me. I screamed so hard when he touched me.

Chapter 2

THE OFFER

ZARYA'S POV

He held my hips and threw me on the bed, it dipped due to my weight. I moved backward with the fear running to my system. He uncovered his face by removing his hoodie and mask. If he is not my family's killer. Possibly, I fell in love with his features. I think he is younger than me. He is having a baby face.

"Just kill me!" My sob was getting louder as he looked at me with his intense eyes.

I did not want to die with the abuse of whoever he was. I would accept my last time in this world when he kills me the same as how my family died.

I stared directly into his eyes. Although my vision was blurred, I could clearly see his emotion. I concluded that he did not like what he was doing.

"Cut my head like what you did to my family! Please..." I rubbed both my palms, knelt down on the bed, and burst out crying.

My life has no purpose. It doesn't make sense now.

I moved my face down to glance at my father and brother. Dad was bathing in blood while his face was on the floor. Zay, my poor little brother had separated his head. I could feel the ache in my chest, the heaviness that was intensifying.

He showed me how merciless he was. He took off his upper clothes and went towards me. I moved backward until I reached the headboard of the bed.

"Ahh! Please, don't! Please!" I tried everything that I could to fight. I slapped him, kicked and punched him. However, it was not affecting him. I screamed so loud when he pinned both of my hands above my head.

"I don't wanna die like this. You can hit me with the sword." I stopped a bit, gazed into his face. From his eyes, nose, and lips. I was a smart student. I will never forget his looks. Even though I had no percentage of escaping from this darkness. There was something in my heart saying that my photographic memory could be used in the future.

He brought his face down. I started to scream again. I was doing uncoordinated movements, moving from side to side, raising my feet, and kicking him. My fighting defense was not impactful to him. He was strong.

When his lips touched mine, the room was covered with my shout that even my ears were being destroyed with my own noise. I could hear the laughter outside as if they were happy with the suffering of others.

My throat was aching as I continued pleading, shouting, and fighting, but I was confused. He was not reckless, his kiss was gentle and he did not even touch my private parts. I paused, protesting and glued my eyes to his face.

He went down to my ear and whispered, "Shout so loud and plead to me. Trust me, it can save you."

I was curious about what he just said. Is he not going to rape me? Like what I was expecting?

My eyes went to his wrist. The symbol of the tribal black wolf was retained in my mind. My body trembled as he cupped my cheek, and removed the tears using his thumb. "Act like I'm raping you. Don't give a silent atmosphere. They might know."

"Why are you doing this?" My voice cracked.

He shrugged his shoulders. "Nobody deserves this."

After a few seconds of just looking at each other, I began to scream again. It was easy to do because I was performing theater on our campus.

He slapped my shoulder making a sound of skin-to-skin contact. I did everything to make my response compatible with that. "Ouch! It hurts! Don't do this, please! Ahhh!"

It was true that it hurt me, he was hitting my shoulder hard. He was a warrior and even if it was weak to him, it was painful to me. We created a sound of a shaking bed and a most brutal happening inside that room. I had no clue why I was listening to him when in fact, I did not know him.

One second, I wanted to die and then after a minute I liked to survive and if I did...I'll make them suffer. I'll be the bravest werewolf that they would curse and wish that they were never born.

We made a super loud scream as if he reached his pleasure and I was having difficulty breathing. He stood up, grabbed the lantern on the side table, and broke it to the floor, causing a fire.

"Dive into the window and don't show your face ever again to any member of Black Wolves Pack." He turned his back to me.

I viewed his dorsal for a second. I walked to the window and then gazed at my father and then at my brother. The tears welled up again as if they would not stop.

I was about to stomp on the cement, I paused when I heard him talking. "My name is...Jace."

"I'm Zarya," And I'll be your scariest nightmare. I continued my lines just inside my head.

I glared at his back into the deadliest sharp look ever.

If you think that saving me will vanish your guilt for killing my father. Then, you are wrong. Thank you for the information. Now I know what pack you are and who is the person that I will find in my comeback.

Once again, I grabbed the images of my father and brother and inserted them into my head. Their position, what they have been through, and what happened on this night.

I stood on the window, changed into my wolf form, and jumped. I watched the burning of our house and heard the most irritating laughter that they were bursting out.

Jace was peeking at me on the window, he nodded his head. So did I.

I ran and ran, tripled my speed. Luckily, I did not forget the way to the Elemental Kingdom. I passed to the dim woods with fear in my heart due to the howling of wolves. I endured my dread in the dark.

When I arrived at the Elemental Kingdom, I shifted into a human form. I saw King Fire, walking in the front yard. I was about to walk closer to him, but he was too fast, it seemed like he was worn out.

I hid at the back of the tree when guards passed by.

"Why are you hiding?"

My eyes widened as I viewed King Water sitting on the big rock. He was behind me. When I faced him, he stared at my boobs.

"Nice breasts."

I covered my private parts. I forgot. I was completely naked due to shifting from wolf to human.

The tears immediately rolled from my eyes. "Please help me. They killed my family."

His eyebrow knitted. "Sure, but I don't help without an exchange. What can you offer?"

I looked down, facing the grass. I had nothing to pay back. What should I do?

"Ah?" He walked closer to me. "You've nothing to give?"

A silence filled the air. He touched my chin, moved my head up, and stared at my face for so long. "You can..." He gazed at my feet, going up to my chest, "propose your body. What do you think?"

Chapter 3

PAYMENT FIRST

ZARYA'S POV

He touched the peak of my nose, going down to my lips. "Okay, you don't want to. I'm easy to talk to. By that, I can't help you."

He let me face his back and then walked away from me. I reminded myself what had happened to my family.

Does my body matter? If I had the favor of King Water, I would not just be a Beta, but a fighter who would have an agreement with him. That means, no matter what I have been through he would be there beside me.

"King Water!" I walked faster. When I reached him, I held his arm. His eyes looked at my face down to my hand that was holding him. "Apology, your majesty."

"No, go on."

I tried to read what was running into his head, but what I got was only a cold look. He forced himself to smile. "Don't be afraid of me."

"I agreed," I said with a low tone. The fear and embarrassment were consuming me. "I'll do everything. Just help me to be strong. I want to do the same thing to them."

He shook his head, held my shoulder, and glanced at my face intensely. "Don't do the same, do worse than that." He emphasized every word he said.

I brought my head down, viewing the ground, but he held my chin again and dragged it up. "If you really want vengeance, don't lower your head. They should bend their knee to you."

I nodded. He took off his cloak and put it to me. "We have an agreement. Since you're mine now. Men are prohibited to see your body." He winked with a smirk on his lips.

I had no idea what to think. I heard the 5 kings from different packs. King Water is one of the naughtiest aside from King Wind.

"Your name, Baby?" He covered my body with his cloak.

"Zarya," I answered without emotion.

"Hali. That's my name."

My eyes widened as he told me his name. It was a big deal for the world of royals. Their identity must not be known by anyone who was not special in the kingdom. It could be used by the enemy, hence, they called them King plus the element that they had.

I watched him changing into a wolf form. He was one of the big wolves that I saw. His fang was so sharp, his brown fur was thick and his claws were scary. It would cut the enemy into pieces.

"Shift to your wolf. We'll go to the place," He ordered me with his black horror-caused eyes.

I moved my head up and down, leaned my knee and hand on the soil, howled as loud as I could. In an instant, my human body became a wolf.

"Bring me to the site." I could hear what he was saying without opening his mouth.

I guided him to the way where I ran before I went here. During our travels, I was peeping on him at times. He was serious, even his wolf form was handsome. When he looked at me, I immediately removed my eyes from him.

***

When my feet stomped on the front of our house, I was broken into pieces. They were not here, the only view was our home, burning in fire and some parts were already dust.

"Did you know who they are?" Hali went to the right and then to the left, peeking on the possible way they walked. He was also smelling the ground.

"They're the Black Wolves Pack." I looked around. Every portion of our house caused pain in my heart.

"You gotta be kidding me! They have no exact territory. They tour around, invade the pack they see, and kill them. They're not an ordinary pack, Zarya."

So he knew them? Hence, I need to gather all the courage and strength that I possibly have.

Jace...

My teeth gritted as his name popped inside my head. Maybe 5 years from now we will meet again.

"What's your plan?" King Water stood next to me, joining me watching the flame. It was getting low.

"I'm planning to train myself to be good at handling different tools like archers and swords."

His wolf form waved his tail. "It's not all about strength. You should practice enduring various kinds of pain."

"Teach me, then."

My jaw tightened. I memorized the image of our home. It once became the foundation of happiness and a complete perfect family, but now it turned into dust.

The figure of my mom cooking in the kitchen while having a wonderful smile filled my head. My father was on the couch, leaning his feet on the center table while watching TV. My brother Zaiden was playing basketball on the stairs. Our house was not that big, but I could say that the love for each other was huge.

I let the tears burst out once again. For now, I had to do nothing but feel the grief. This madness inside me would be my strength and motivation to be as powerful; To be heartless, ruthless and numb.

We stayed there for about a minute, trying to figure out if there was someone left. However, they were already gone. I decided to sit on the branch of a tree that was lying on the ground while cherishing the moment when my family was still alive. At the same time, marking my head about the mission.

I promise I'll get back to this place again. That time, the victory is in my hands. The satisfaction is in my heart. The power is in me.

The new Zarya will be born.

Hali sat next to me. "I honestly can't feel you. Yet accompanying you is the only thing I can do."

"I never ask you to feel me, Your Majesty." I sounded like a devastated wolf.

"I need to know what you feel, so I'll have knowledge of the first step we must take for vengeance."

"Why? Don't you have a family?" The confusion was written on my face.

"I have brothers."

I was aware that he had a father, the higher king, and a mother, the queen of the Water Pack.

What happened to him?

"Let's go back to the Elemental Kingdom." He moved his body, walking forward. "I'll make you feel the first pain that you need to bear."

The anxiety covered my whole system. "What do you mean?"

"You'll know when we got there. Something to do with pleasuring a man." He winked at me.

My body trembled as I watched him running away.

"Do I need to fulfill the offer immediately?"

"Of course. How will I know that you're gonna pay me? Payment first."
