An Alpha's Revenge (Part 12)

Arthit

He was nervous. The King and Queen would have guests today. From what Byul, Beam, Kit, and Rome explained they were from another kingdom.

"He is the King of Jaturapoom Clan. They have a good relationship with Suthiluck ever since the King was a child. His parents died protecting Prince Kongpob as well as their youngest son Ai'Oon." Rome explained. 

"Unfortunately the youngest Prince did not make it. He died with his parents at such a young age." Kit explained. 

"The Prince lived in Suthiluck for a few years until he was able to go back on his own and take care of his clan. He's actually Beam's"

"You are all speaking way too much." Beam snapped at Kit, this caused Rome, Kit, and Byul to giggle. Curious Arthit spoke up.

"Am I missing something?" He questioned. 

"You'll see when King Forth gets here." Kit spoke with a grin. 

"Tell us if you think he's handsome. Personally. I think I've seen better." Byul spoke this caused Beam to glare at her and Arthit laughed. 

"Beam. Is the King your mate?"

"No!"

"Yes" came a chorus from Byul, Kit, and Rome which caused pillows to be thrown at them. Arthit laughed and found himself joining their little fight. By the time they were done, there were goose feathers everywhere inside the room. It appeared as though snow covered the entire room. When the door opened they were all startled. The King, Queen, and Prince Kongpob were standing outside the door. 

"Oh my. It seems like you are all having so much fun." The Queen spoke up. There was a frown on the Prince's face, Arthit feared that the man was upset with him again. Ever since the incident with his wolf and after their talk the Prince has once again kept his distance. Yet, Arthit did not feel as if there was anything to worry about. Somehow he felt quite calm. 

"What are you doing?" Kongpob questioned. Arthit was about to answer but realized the question was directed toward his friends. 

"Playing," Byul spoke as though it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"You're exhausting his energy. He should preserve it." Kongpob turned to look at him as he spoke.

"Do you feel alright?" Though shocked at the Prince's words of concern it was when Rome cleared his throat and Beam nudged him gently that he realized he was yet to answer.

"Erm... yes Prince Kongpob. I feel fine." The Prince then raised his hand out causing not only Arthit to flinch but everyone else that was around them. It was as though the entire room had filled with anxiety. Guilt cross the other man's face before he awkwardly patted Arthit on the head as though he was a kid. 

"You need to get ready for our guests. They should be here soon." Kongpob spoke awkwardly. Arthit could tell that there is something more Kongpob wanted to say but there were just too many eyes. 

"Come Arthit. We'll get you ready. Rome, and Kit, prepare a bath for him." 

"Beam. There are some clothes for you as well. A bath is being prepared by your mother-"

"She didn't need to bother." There was a look on Beam's face that Arthit didn't quite understand. As though he was trying to feign not caring yet there was a blush creeping its way towards his cheeks. It was cute. 

"Well, she has." The Queen then turned to Byul. 

"Your parents will be here too. You should be ready. I've picked out some clothes as well. They are discussing bringing you home."
