Singto
"The number of alphas is increasing. Last month, almost a hundred submitted DNA samples for identification purposes. Along with this, the number of citizens and guests using our medical facilities also increased. The hospitals located at the north and east need extra supplies to cater the number of patients they have. One of my men also asked if they can increase the number of healers in their branch which I approved right away. Vampires and shapeshifters rank as the highest creatures using our medical facilities with a count of 20,976 and 20,841 respectively. 90% of which are alphas. 78% were admitted for slow recuperation after engaging in a fight against each other."
Singto glanced at the graphs showing Wad's report in his hands.
"I assume that these patients are all hybrids. Have the vampire prince and his friends look into this so they can make a medicine that will hasten the healing ability of vampires and shapeshifters. Their recessive genes might be acting up against the healing ability of their dominant ones."
"That's my conclusion too. I also looked into the familial background of the patients and I noticed that most have one that has no healing ability paired with either a vampire or shapeshifter."
"Have Prince Phana work his ass off in making a remedy for this situation. An impaired ability of vampires and shapeshifters is not our problem. Give him all the details about the situation of these people and tell him that I expect a fruitful result as soon as possible as payment for his stay here."
"Shall we publicize this information?"
Without missing a beat, Singto shook his head at Wad's question. Publicizing such information will not help in their crusade of promoting equality among all creatures.
"We'll make it public after the discovery of a medicine that can permanently ged rid of such impairment. That way, issues on mating with different species will not rise."
"For the sake of the patients, I truly hope that the vampire prince takes this assignment seriously."
"He will. I know Phana. When it comes to his people, he will leave no stones unturned. Assist him as much as you can with the information you've gathered so far. That man is brilliant when it comes to medicinal discovery."
Wad assured Singto that he will do as he wishes.
"I will immediately pay a visit to the vampire prince right after this meeting instead of bringing our little omega to you since he seems to have fallen asleep. I believe that His Highness understands that he needs rest and will wait for him to wake up."
Fuming inside because his set schedule was unfollowed, Singto agreed to Wad's statement with furrowed eyebrows. Wad has the ability to read thoughts and Singto has no doubt in his mind that his friend has been in tune with the omega's state of mind ever since he became conscious. As such, it is no surprise that his friend knows when Krist is conscious or not. Disappointed, Singto has no choice but to accept the situation. He might as well deal with pressing territorial affairs at the moment and meet with the sweet-smelling omega later tonight.
"Bring him to my wing's dining room. Let him have his dinner with me."
He saw the surprise on his friend's face but Singto paid it no mind. He's got this nagging feeling that tells him that meeting the omega is of utmost importance. The possibility of Krist turning out to be his mate is not nil. After all, he's never smelled a scent as alluring as the one he smells clinging on Wad.
"By tha way Wad, some winged creature dropped by awhile ago with a message from our 'friends' in the heavens above. It seems like those gods are becoming bold since I've been lenient with them for quite sometime now."
Singto can feel his irritation rise when he remembers the content of the summoning letter from the gods in the heavens. It specifically pointed out that he, Singto, Prachaya Ruangroj, has proven himself worthy of being one of those pig heads called gods despite the indiscretions of his parents. The f*ck?! He almost blew up the winged creature who brought the message to him. In the end, the prideful creature left his study in haste with fear written all over their face.
There is absolutely no way that he'll join the ranks of those gods. He'd rather rule over this neutral state that his parents built than loiter up above the clouds with no drive lumped together with those shits. If those gods push their luck and continue to pester him, he will not think twice of putting an end to them.
"It seems like the past 5 years caused the gods to forget their debt. Maybe you should refresh their memory by getting rid of some in their ranks. Perhaps, that oldie who stepped on aunty's remains can be used to remind them." Wad heatedly suggested.
Wad continued. "The truce explicitly stated that they should stay in their territory in exchange for their lives. They must have forgotten how much we hate them and how we crave for their bloods in our hands! We don't need stupid gods. The creatures do not need gods who play with their lives but rulers who will guide them into prosperity!"
Happy that he's normally cold-headed friend shares his sentiments, Singto decided to elevate the mood.
"I'm a living god, Wad." He said with a teasing grin on his lips.
Wad smirked at his statement. "You don't have a drop of a god's blood in your body, Singto." Wad paused for awhile before saying, "But when it comes to power, I suppose you can be considered one."
Singto chuckled. This friend of his was the first person who uncovered his origin just by smelling his blood. "No one can beat you when it's ones to DNA discernment, Wad. I wonder what happened to that little omega that even you can't identify his DNA?"
Knowing that he'll be hitting a sore spot, Singto jabbed at Wad with such topic. Along the way, he's sure that he'll be able to get some information about the omega through this strategy of his.
"He's a weird thing. I swear I've never met an omega like him before. Even Neww who was too much of a war freak to be an omega pales in oddity compared to the guy. That little omega's thoughts are too focused, too vivid and if I didn't read incorrectly, I saw that he has the ability to manipulate living beings which is odd. He got weird friends aged more than thrice his as well as a younger brother who can scare the hell out of him through his nagging. He is even friends with that Bright!"
Bright? That pure blooded elf is still here?
"Bright is not that bad Wad. As for the omega, make sure that he joins me tonight. Tonight, Wad." Singto added emphasis on 'tonight'.
Wad sighed. Singto knows that Wad doesn't like the idea of him mingling with someone his men haven't screened extensively. Hence, Wad tries to delay his meeting with Krist. Which Singto pays no mind. He can perfectly protect himself.
"Is there anything else I should know?" Singto decided to end this meeting with Wad now since he doesn't want to be behind schedule.
After saying no, Wad bid his farewell and allowed Oaujun who was waiting outside for his turn to enter. Focusing his attention on Oaujun, Singto started telling his friend about the winged creature.
"I don't like having those vile things loitering around our territory. I want you to get rid of that thing by. . ."
Krist
What the hell did I get myself into?!
Krist can't help but ask himself while sitting in an intimidating dining room that screams 'rich' and 'extravagant'.
Must I have dinner in such a place? And why do I need to eat dinner with His Highness alone?
His silent musings was interrupted when the door of the dining room opened, revealing the most attractive man he's ever seen. He has never met anyone who had such an impact on him before. Handsome won't be able to describe the godlike being strutting towards him. Black silky hair, onyx predator-like eyes surrounded by long and thick eyelashes, red kissable lips, olive skin and a body clad in expensive white long sleeves and black trousers, everything about the man is beautiful, arresting and. . . dangerous.
Unconsciously, Krist licked his suddenly dry lips while getting on his feet to greet the new comer.
"No need for formalities. Take a seat."
Even his voice is sexy! Wait. . . If this sexy man is having dinner with me, doesn't that make him His Highness?
Did I just f*cking eye-rape 4th State's ruler?!
Singto
Over the glass of wine perched on his lips, Singto glanced at the beautiful young man sitting adjacent to him. Wad missed to inform him that the little omega Oaujun and Fiat rescued is incredibly innocent looking like a little turtle. If he doesn't know any better, Singto would say that Krist is a hybrid between a vampire and an elf. With his fair skin, chubby cheeks, high nose, doe-like eyes and small pouty lips that Singto is dying to taste, the little omega is a beauty.
His omega.
Yes, he is staking his claim.
There's not a tinge of doubt in Singto's mind that Krist is his fated one. Before stepping inside the room, his nose was engulfed by the most tantalizing scent he has ever smelled. Something in him responded to the scent and he can't deny the fact that he's been sporting a semi hard-on the minute his sense of smell was assailed by Krist's scent. These two may be obvious symptoms of a mating bond being formed but these are not enough to convince someone like Singto who has been with numerous partners that he is meeting his fated one. What made him believe that the omega waiting for him inside was the connection he felt when Krist locked eyes with him. It was the electricity that passed through his body which made him feel alive. Very alive.
Singto heard Krist clear his throat. He cocked an eyebrow, urging the smaller man to proceed.
"His Highness. . .ummm . . . I'm Krist. I was sav-"
Holding up a hand, Singto motioned Krist to stop.
"Call me P'Singto, N'Krist. I told you, no need for formalities" Singto craves to hear his mate calling him Phi in his sweet voice.
Krist flushed pink.
Why is this guy so adorable?
Singto clenched his free hand to control himself. If he had his way, Krist would be bent on the table while taking his thrusts deep inside his lower cavern. But not yet. Not. Just. Yet.
He needs to recognize who he belongs to first before I take him.
"I don't think it is proper to address you so informally, umm. . . P'Singto." Krist bit his lower lip.
The action solicited a low growl from Singto. As for Krist, he has no idea the effect his action has on the alpha male.
"I like it when you call me Phi."
At Singto's words, Krist's body tingled in surprised pleasure. When he noticed this, the guiltless cause smirked at the effect of his words on Krist. It seems like he's not the only one who is affected by their close proximity and subtle flirting.
"Please stop teasing me Phi. I don't like being teased especially by alphas. If you want a plaything to flirt with, many will volunteer themselves." Krist said with a pout.
"I can see that you are not afraid of speaking your mind. It's quite refreshing to be told off once in awhile." Singto cocked his head to the side and stared deep into Krist's eyes. "Why don't you amuse me more."
Heat immediately rose from Krist's neck straight to the tip of his hair. His Highness is blatantly teasing the younger man and the latter needs to control his temper or else, his head might roll on the floor.
Still, the omega wasn't able to control the sharpness of his gaze and iciness in his tone when addressing the 'sexy guy' who keeps on teasing him. The shy turtle turns out to be a fierce prey. Singto silently nodded in his mind. He likes the fire in his mate's eyes.
I like it a lot.
"P'Singto must be bored of being cuddled by everyone around him. Why don't you try going out of your 'castle' once in awhile and live a simple man's life. Who knows, you might end up enjoying the simple life over this luxurious one."
Singto acted like he took Krist's words into consideration.
"Hmmmnnn. Why not. Surely you wouldn't mind if I drop by your house once in awhile since you've given me such an invitation."
"Huh?!" Singto smiled when he saw the surprise on Krist's face.
He continued. "Such setup will enable me to see the needs of my citizens while having a short vacation. Your suggestion is definitely brilliant. Why don't we agree to make this as your payment for the kindness my men gave you. This way, you are not indebted to Oaujun and Fiat."
Singto added the payment part because he hates the thought of his mate being indebted to anyone.
He only needs me. Anyone else is not welcome in the picture even his 'saviors'. I'll just give those two a paid vacation to payback the heroic deed they've done for my turtle.
Krist reluctantly agreed. And instead of continuing the discussion which Krist knows that he'll end up as the loser, the omega opted to eat his dinner. His actions pleased Singto. This showcases the wisdom his turtle has when facing losing situation. He'll continue teasing his little mate more in time.
When the full course meal is through, Singto invited Krist to enjoy fresh air with him at the room's veranda which the smaller man obliged.
Singto stood up from his chair and assisted Krist. This is a common courtesy alphas portray when they are with the lower classes.
The minute Singto's skin touched Krist's while the former helps the latter from his chair like a true blooded gentleman, both reflexively stared into each other's eyes in silent recognition. The heated staring contest lasted for a few heart thumping moments before Krist awkwardly avoided Singto's eyes. Though disappointed, Singto decided not to push any further.
The silence of the night and the brightness of the full moon surrounded the two. Everything was serene. Everything is just as how Singto wills it to be.
But the beauty of the environment did not elevate the storm inside the young omega's heart. Singto can see that as clearly as he is certain that he's the reason why the younger man is in turmoil.
"What's bothering you?" He softly asked.
During the dinner, he found out that his lovely mate has a hot temper behind that innocent face. It's best to approach him now with cautious sincerity than his blatant flirting like earlier.
Singto saw the mixed emotions painted on Krist's face. "Phi I think I should stay away from you."
Bewilderment filled Singto's whole being when he heard this. He beckoned Krist to go on with his explanation how he came up with such conclusion.
"I don't think spending time with you is good for my health. First, my heart pumps abnormally in my chest when you're near. My nose has a mind of its own and keeps on inhaling your scent. You're making me addicted to your chocolate-like musky scent! And just awhile ago. . . when you touched me. .. I"
Singto angled his body closer to Krist until the latter is settled between him and the veranda railing. Huskily, Singto asked, "What did you feel when I touched you?"
A silent moan came from Singto's throat when he saw Krist swallow a lump in his throat and lick his lips. The action caused Singto to lock his sights on those pink and plump lips.
"Static. Pure static P'Singto." Krist murmured while staring at the taller man's lips that seem to be moving closer towards his by the second.
"Do you know what this means, N'Krist? Are you aware of what we are slowly forming right now?"
Once again, both stared into each other's eyes as if trying to grasp the identity of each other's soul. But unlike before, Singto's and Krist's faces are just a breath away. Both can feel the delicious tingles and the comfortable warmth of being in each other's arms.
"I-I thi-"
"A bond, Krist."
