Kongpob

Live can't get anymore stressful as it is now. Endless amounts of documents to look over and sea of pack request. I honestly don't know how my father had enough time to come home to dinner and still be a loving parent.

Day after day everything is the same, but only thing that changes are the dates on the calendar. I don't even remember the last time I had the pleasure of leaving work before 9 pm just to continue working at home.

Since I turned 18 I have been working tirelessly to achieve the role of Alpha of our Werelion pack and thanks to my family's business, Siam Polymer we are thankfully a very well kept pack.

I never knew a live that wasn't plentiful and loving, but that doesn't mean I had it easy. No way. As the youngest of the suttoiluck family I had not seen any future of being a leader. I was always smaller and weaker than my two older siblings as well as my pack mates.

One time I remember coming home and just breaking down and I was stuck in my lion self. Everyone tried to get me to explain my situation, so they could help me over come my fears. It wasn't until my grandmother came over and began telling me a story of a pureblood vampire who saved our pack from the pits of despair. Than when the alpha and his Luna were at the end of their life they had declared that ward was to be given to the vampire. The vampire took in many young Cubs and taught them the ways of the world. Most importantly, business and engineering.

She told me that it was a true story passed down all the suthiluck family tree. With the help of this young vampire they were able to create an empire now known as Siam Polymer. I thought about how brave my ancestors must of been to ask a pureblood for money. All I have ever heard of them, that they preferred the company of nobody and lived a rather reclusive life. Much to my surprise hearing that he was the one who taught them how to operate a business.

I never understood why we never heard this story before, but granny only said that there was dark time and all the lion Cubs were sent home. Since than the vampire had been missing.

After hearing this story I wanted to know more about this vampire that saved our clan and if he still exists today. So I finally had a reason to succeed. Now here I am stuck in an office looking over endless amounts of documents and no where near finding said pureblood. I let out sigh as I looked at the clock. Once again it's passed supper and I haven't even finished my work. I glanced down at the financial statement for year and all the numbers were adding up and I saw great increase in our production and than I noticed a small amount of money being deferred to an account call loan.

I quickly called up my account to verify this Line. Why would be needing to pay off a loan. How much do we owe as we surely have enough in the bank to pay it off.

"Hello, May speaking." "Hello, May. It's Kongpob Suttiluck calling. I was reviewing the financial information for the previous year and I noticed one line that seems off." I heard her heavy breathing and shuffling from where ever she was to another location. "Which part sir?" "The loan line... why do we have loan. Can we not pay this off with the money we have in the bank. What are looking at?" "Umm... well.. you see. The loan was made a very long time ago. It was contract between Arthit Rojnapat and Alpha Pop suttiluck. The terms were very clear. The loan will be paid over a 2 thousand year span." "What! How is the possible nobody lives over 2 thousand years." "Sorry, to break your bubble, but only one species does."

My mouth whispered the words before May could say it. "Vampire.... The stories are true." "Pardon?" "Never mind that. Do we have an address or number or something for this Arthit Rojnapat?" "No sir. The money has been collecting inside an account that is in our name. He has never collected it. Plus the account is locked we cannot access it and money is alway pulled out." "This means they had to updated it in the last century, but who would have access to the money. Why is this Arthit guy not collecting if we owe him. Many questions..." "ugh sir. is that everything you require?" "Yes. Sorry for interrupting your time with your family." "Good night, Alpha Kongpob." "Same to you. Tell Aim to come visit sometime soon" "of course." The dial tone buzzed in my ear.

Who is this Arthit guy? Is he really the vampire that granny talked about? Where is he? How much did he lend us? Why did we stop communicating to someone who we were deeply indebted to? So many questions running through my head, but I definitely had no energy left to look any further into it. It's time to go home and sleep maybe I'll have peanut butter and jelly sandwich before I hit the sack.

The drive home was uneventful the same boring traffic and sighs nothing to write home to Mae about. But I felt a weird ache in my chest were I never had before almost like I was calling out to something. When I reached my driveway I was practically holding my chest in pain. It felt like I was being torn apart, but put back together. Worse then the feeling of the change. I mentally called out to my lion self, "Singto? What is going on?" "Mate" "we don't have a mate remember." "mate is not here, but outside" "outside where? Ugh, I am in so much pain, why?" "Hmmm, our mate is in danger or awake?" "We shouldn't feel our mate yet, the bond has not been made." "Our mate is very powerful that is why we can feel it." "I don't know, Sing. I'm going to call the pack doctor." "No! Call your Mae." "What!" "Listen to me."

Without further to do I grabbed my phone as I pushed open the doors of my house and dropped my body onto the couch near by. "Hello sweetie, why are you calling so late?" Her voice had a hint of worry as if she was expecting my call. "My heart. it aches, mae. I'm in so much pain, singto said it's our mate." The call goes silent and I heard the dial tone once again. The pain was unbearable that I passed out on the couch until my door slammed open and in rushed my mae and por.

"Son! Are you okay!" "Dear look at him! Of course he is not okay!" I heard the water tap running and a quick breeze of my mae coming back and placing a cold towel on my forehead. "Mae..." I choked out "I'm here sweetie." "We need to turn him, honey!" "First let's break the fever." "We don't have time. We need to see if he has the mark!" "Kongpob my sweetheart can you turn over we need to take a look at your shoulder blade. I nodded and slowly moved my body to face the backrest of the sofa. My Mae lifts up my shirt and a shriek was heard.

"He has the mark.... He has the mark" "he is the first of our pack to have a fated mate." A fated what now? I thought, but the words I couldn't speak. "Son, listen to me." I nodded as I laid down on my back as Mae continued to cool me down. "Fated mates are very rare in this world most just find a partner and never find their mates, but you.... Your situation is different. Fated Mates cross species lines. Meaning you could have a human or panther or witch..." "vampire..." Singto murmured. "A vampire?" "well , yes those too, but they don't typically mate with any were species." I could clearly hear Singto roaring, "vampire mate! Vampire Mate! VAMPIRE MATE!" "Singto seems to be thinking our mate is a vampire..." I felt Singto nodding in approval. both of my parents looked at me bleakly.

"Son... you can't mate with a vampire..." "why? If we are fated to be together why can't we!" "They don't understand the were community and they are the most antisocial beings on the planet. Plus the council will never approve of it." "So you are telling me, I have a fated mate, but because they are a vampire as per my lion. We cannot be together because of some prejudices?" My Mae looks down as if she was about to
Begin crying hearing the words I had spoken. "Son! It's for your own good. If you want to remain as Alpha of this pack and CEO of Siam Polymer. You must reject your mate."

He got up from his chair and left the house. My mother sobs as she gets up from the ground she was sitting on and mentioned that she will call the pack doctor to come and see me soon. What the bloody fuck is this? Pun intended.
