His Enigma

005

"Phumin (chief/leader) Luna has asked will you be visiting him tonight? " The chief bodyguard he had appointed to Arthit asked.

" How is he?" Kongpob asked " Has he been taking medication prescribed by Healer Aim? "

" He spends major of his days frowning or exercising . The minor part of day he spends swatting away the requests of his personal servants offering to assist him in personal chores amd bodyguards following him, which is quite unusual for a Lion general of their stature. Aren't lions known to indulge in extravaganza."

" General Rojanapat is more like his father in this regard. We should not Forget that though he was brought up in Lionheart, he is sired by one of our greatest warriors and strategist. He is one of our own..treat him as you would General Wad.. "

"Chief" The chief bodyguard bowed in acknowledgment " We will keep that in our minds in future."

" Please do. Any attacks from Lionheart's side? "

" only verbal ones Khom ( chief) ." The chief bodyguard replied. " Prince Vikram visits our Luna daily. We are not privy to our conversation but Prince Vikram must be hitting the sore spot since Luna keeps scratching his own skin away with his nails after the visit. "

Kongpob clenched his teeth. Prince Vikram needs to be taught a lesson in possession and humility— ASAP.

" Make sure, no one will be able to visit him without my explicit permission." Kong ordered.

" As you wish sire...there is one more thing. Khun Anurak has been caught trying to sneak in to Luna's quarters. "

Kong nodded, teeth clenched " I will talk to him about our laws and customs. Meanwhile, make sure both Arthit and Anurak remained safe and healthy."

Bowing, the bodyguard left.

Kong pinched the bridge of his nose. If Arthit is inviting him in his space, he must have already cooked some preposterous plan that will enrage his very core....

As the night fell, tidying up his royal works, Kongpob took his feet towards Arthit's quarters. His mind already filled with all the ugly possibilities and his heart filled with sadness over their situation.

Never did he think that he will have to hurt his love to save him. He cannot even tell Arthit truth. Or the half blood lion will behave very relaxed and Lionheart will raise suspicions over his loyalty. Up until now, they were blaming his decision to pardon Arthit's life to Tiger's peculiarity. Now, they will spin whole new theory of Kongpob's involvement in betraying alliance.

Why is it so hard to love a half lion? Why did he not fall for a tiger? Life would have been much easier !

...........
As Kongpob pushed the gates to Arthit's private chamber open, his eyes popped out, his body remained nailed to the ground.

In the dimly lit chamber of the Tigerstealth palace, Arthit stood resplendent, his attire and makeup meticulously crafted to allure and captivate.

The Arthit draped till waist in red silk bedsheets was etched in his mind— each gold chain marked in his memory forever. The dangling circling Arthit's bare chest and carved waist.

But this Arthit was different. He was not the frustrated slave of destiny. This was a siren who has accepted the challenge and rose up to write his own destiny. Kongpob's tiger liked Arthit's tenacious spirit. It growled in appreciation. 

Arthit standing infront of him exuded an air of regal authority and untamed allure. His attire spoke volumes of his status as the Alpha mate of Tigerstealth, each garment looked meticulously chosen and tailored to accentuate his powerful physique while maintaining an air of sophistication.
