An Alpha's Revenge (Part 8)

Kongpob

He was gone. Arthit had been missing for a few hours and the castle was in chaos.

"How could he have slipped away! What were you doing!" His father was beyond angry while each and every single guard looked down in submission. His mother was a crying mess and Kongpob could only blame himself.

Moon was a mess Kongpob had a feeling of worry so deep it was almost cripling  but he tried his best to contain himself. 

"No one. Absolutely no one gets back without him being here." His father snapped. 

"Prince Kongpob." It was Jae Ha that walked in after all their guards were dismissed. Ming was close behind him. 

"How is Princess Byul?" He questioned.

"You would know if you'd bothered to come to see her." Ming snapped. Kongpob glared at him he really didn't have time for this. Before he could answer Ming Jae Ha spoke up. 

"I apologize for that. It won't happen again." Jae Ha spoke up. 

"Princess Byul is not my problem. She could die for all that it would matter to me." Kongpob saw anger flash in Jae Ha's eye still the man seemed to pull his anger deep inside and spoke up.

"The new guard. Xia Yu Ping. He's missing. I happened to see him a couple of hours ago. He was following a wagon of some sort into the main village. The Prince might be hiding there."

"And why did you not speak up as soon as you heard the Prince was missing."

"My duty is to the Princess. Her safety comes first. We are loyal only to her."

"And what if that man has other plans. To hurt the Prince." Kongpob saw a flicker in Jae Ha's eyes that made him realize that no matter what he would never do anything against Byul or work something that would not benefit her. Should Arthit die Byul would immediately become Queen, no longer would she be a concubine. Kongpob wanted to kill him, this time Moon stopped him from doing so.

"He does what he needs for his mate. He protects and guards and gives even more than himself for the one he loves. But you. You have caused such harm to our Sun. When are you going to learn your lesson? I'm tired of doing this over and over again Kongpob."

Kongpob ignored him and pushed away his own guilt. The look that Xia Yu Ping had given Arthit completely unsettled him.

"Kongpob." His father spoke up to him. The look in his eyes told him that his father would no doubt lecture him. What he had not expected when he followed his father to the library was to be hit again.

"When will you learn your lesson? How much more will you make him suffer like this?"

"Why are you forcing a ceremony between us."

"You swore an oath to him. One that cannot be dissolved so easily. I did not want to say a word to you. But, this was received earlier today." His father pulled out a scroll. The seal of it made Kongpob freeze as he realized it came from the black king. 

He was unmerciful, wanted power. No one knew who he was or what he looked like. He was only known as Acheron. 

"Congratulations Prince Kongpob on your marriage. Indeed what a beautiful Prize. An Omega. Pure of mind, body soul. A rare little gem. Say hello to Sunshine for me." 

Sunshine. Kongpob froze as he realized that this man knew about Arthit's wolf.

"You called Arthit Sunshine today."

"Moon did. He seems to think that Arthit's wolf is dormant." King Suthiluck was quiet for a moment, then he cursed. 

"We need to bring him to Achara. This is something that you should have told me about as soon as you knew.
