Alpha King of Water

MATILDA OF THE WHITE DRIFTER

ZARYA’S POV

If I thought that he was in good mood. No, I was not right. During the training, he beat me so badly when I made the wrong step of feet. A slap after slap or if not, a hit on the shoulder. All the pain I endured, I did not cry. I managed not to cry even if the sweats were mixed with a little blood. Sometimes, I saw him looking at my bruises. He just looked away when our eyes met.

“Your feet are too spread!” He shouted again as I was moving my feet slant, hitting the arnis to the air. “Step back when you need to! Don’t stay on your feet at the same point for so long! That should be attentive!”

I had no idea that the feet were the most difficult part to handle. It was not moving in accordance with my hand, causing Hali to shout at me.

“Ouch!” I covered my mouth as my eyes widened. That was his only hit that made me react. I must not say how vulnerable I was. I thought he would strike me again because of the one word. Luckily, he ignored it or maybe he did not hear that.

I had been working for the whole day, kicking, punching, and doing the freaking steps on the feet. It was like a diagonal movement that would trick the enemy. I was so exhausted as Hali neither. He was just sitting on his favorite big rock, folding his arms as he was gazing at me. He knew if I made a mistake even if he was not looking at times.

“Stop and rest. Go to the second floor of the Hide Out House. You’re going to sleep here tonight.” He spelled out as he moved, going to the house.

I never said anything. I just followed what he said while I was touching my shoulder. I could feel the burning sensation and the pain from the wounds. When the moment I reached the second floor, I headed towards the room and rested.

I settled on the bed in a side position while looking at the cellphone that Khal gave to me. This had not been used in this place. No internet. Nothing.

Where will I go back to the Human World?

The bed dipped and shook. I moved faster as I felt that someone sat behind me. Hali grabbed my cellphone and spelled it out. “Water.”

“That’s for being a good bedmate.” After his words, he did not say anything again. He left the room.

A smile on my lips had formed when I saw the signal and also the internet connection. It was funny how would the water give internet? Perhaps because of the connection of water to anything in this world.

I immediately went to my social media account. I had a photographic memory before, but when I moved here in the Alpha King’s World, it was gradually disappearing that was why I forgot many things even the night my family died. I had no idea what was happening, but it felt like lessening the pain in my heart. The more I remembered it, the more I became miserable. However, the training made me forget who I was. Sometimes my brain only said that ‘I am Zarya, Hali’s bedmate.’ I did not want to think that he did something to my brain. Even that, I had no knowledge if he could do such a thing to change me.

I typed the name Khal on Instagram. I hut my forehead when I realized I did not know his surname. Should I ask Hali?

I moved out from my bed, my head was moving from left to right as I was looking for him. He was not here? Maybe he went out. I walked to the kitchen as a free woman. At times, I was missing to be alone in our house. This was the peace I wanted. No Hali. No one would shout at me.

My feet were glued to the floor when I saw a familiar woman. She was standing near the window, drinking water. She was wearing a white long gown. The gown was flying by air coming from the window. I stopped slowly, trying not to create footsteps. I froze when she turned to face me.

“Matilda?” My mouth was barely open due to shock. “What… are you doing here?”

She gave me a creepy smirk which made my knee shake for a bit. Is she not a prisoner? According to the sewing of her white gown, she was not an ordinary wolf. She is a… royal?

“I’m Hali’s friend.” She walked closer to me, but I backed away. I must not trust anyone, but how could she enter the Hide Out House? No one could go inside except Hali let her?

I showed her my pam as I glared at her, making myself brave. “Stop. You’re not allowed to come closer.” I did the V gestured of feet which Hali taught me. This was the preparation of attacking the enemy.

“Woah.” She let out a surprise air before she drank the water from the glass. “You can’t defend yourself at the cell. I won’t save you if that’s not Hali’s command.” She flipped her white curly hair. She was extra beautiful at the moment. The last time I saw her, she was dirty, peasant look and stinky. In front of me was a goddess of beauty.

“Hali’s command?”

“He didn’t tell you?” She swayed her hips as she sat on the couch. “He ordered me to go at the barren, bad smell, dirty and gross Dungeon just to protect you.” She crossed her thighs. She bent her body to place the glass on the center table. “He’s getting so much effort to teach you even if you didn’t appreciate it.”

“Teach?” The sarcasm could be heard in my tone. “I almost died.”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

She flipped again her hair, going to the back and brushing it. She was totally different from the first time I saw her. She was acting like an important person, not the peasant who was sentenced to be at the Dungeon.

“You startled with my beauty?” She laughed radiantly. Every move was sophisticated. “He taught you something you will never forget.”

“I didn’t learn from the Dungeon except having no air at night, killer laying beside me and anytime I will die.” I stopped talking when I realized, I had learned from there.

“Spill out her own reflection.” She adjusted her body to be straightly sitting. She was like an honorable person. “Having no air makes you think that life is important. When you die you can’t do the avenge, so you need to survive. Killer laying beside you makes you aware of your surroundings, not everybody is an ally. Anytime you will die makes you stronger and strive harder than normal.”

“Why are your role, then?” I crossed my arms on my chest. I remembered Hali from doing this. “Another whore?’ I chuckled with disgust.

“I was.” She smiled at me full of elegance. “Didn’t you know Hali is the weakest king when it comes to strategy and thinking in the battle?”

My head tilted as I became interested.

“He never let them call him a low king. He’s so a hardworking person. He spent all his time on the training. Blood, burn, pain一until he becomes one of the best.” She stood up, swayed her hips as she moved closer to mine. “Hali loves f*cking, my dear Zarya. I was his whore in exchange for training… Just like you.” She rolled her eyes. “That was the mind-blowing experience I had, but sadly, he eventually became uninterested in me. She found Kastrid. Then, I guess he will abandon her sooner if you satisfy him.” She cupped my face and whispered. “Your suffering will end soon. Hali will not stick to a woman. Just find more beautiful than you after you are done benefiting from him.” She widely opened her arms with grace and passion. “End.”

A smirk formed on my lips. “Thanks for the advice.”

She raised one eyebrow. “There’s a risk.”

“Name it.” I chinned up as I showed her I was not afraid of what was the risk was.

“Don’t let your heartbeat for him. You will always be a loser.”

The bravery on my stand was there. My eyes were sharp. “I won’t.”

“Great.” She wrapped her arms around my arm. “We’ll be friends, then. I am Matilda from the House of White Drifter.”

My eyes widened. I was so shocked when I realized that she was one of the children who came from a noble family. I was about to bow to her when she spoke. “Rise.” She averted her look at me. Her eyes filled with different emotions. “I am the bastard who ruins the family’s loyalty and trust to each other. I am a bastard and Hali turned me into nothing to something… special.”
