How you pass your days when day seems night and darkness invades everything , when the sun never rises and moon never shines . Everyday becomes a new moon day..dark without, speck of light in sight.

Three and a half month have passed away like this for him ! Every hour, every minute every second a torture . It's like karma is burning him live on stake. The uncertainty of the informations he is receiving about crossing the realm, the constant phone calls everyday from Arthit's adoptive parents, his biological dad's revelation about his aunt who must have taken Arthit to save him from kong himself , fills kong up with more guilt and remorse , eating him alive from inside.

Prajan is broken too, every mistreatment of them to their mate , every pain that they have inflicted on the innocent eighteen year old has come back to haunt them. Revenge of fate coming back to them, making them shake and shatter in hundred and in thousand fold !

Kong feels he is drowning constantly, breathless as he runs from one witch to another wizard, searching for a clue , searching for any minuscule of hope that he can have his mate back by his side, soon..

Atleast Arthit's biological dad had reached out to him after knot was captured and sentenced to death. Kong could atleast understand the reason of this sudden disappearance of his mate and his aunt's motive behind it all but what then, that doesn't solve anything! Only pulled him deeper into guilt, in endless sea of what ifs. It's like, he is amidst the vast ocean of hopelessness, drowning in despair.

Tomorrow is again another full moon night , he had tried to reach out to Arthit more often on these days. He goes to the waterfall or in front of that washroom mirror , again and again . He had heard from some witches , a water source or a reflecting surface is the best way to break into an alternative realm, and for fated mate full moon night is the best bet to do so.

The guards in the shopping mall have all started giving him weird looks by the amount of visit he had done to that same mall in these past months.

Hope, the word, is keeping him almost sane and functional in front of others and some of his uncannily weird night and sometimes even day dreams . He can't see Arthit but he perceives, its him. They are always more clearer on the full moon nights .

A vast tulip field , sometimes a lone figure is swimming in a beautiful lake surrounded by mountains , sometimes the figure is sitting among the flowers and on a full moon night, he stands atop a mountain and then a snowy white wolf will emerge , howling in misery to the lunar goddess.

kong will every time wake up sweat drenched and shivering, calling out Prathit's name . He will feel hammering in his heart , like he can touch Arthit, he is in reach but he can't reach out only because he is forgetting something insanely important. This unsettling feeling never leaves him making him search more frantically.

Tonight, he gets up with a start . For Tomorrow's full moon night, he had been at a lose for where to search,   when he drifted into sleep, tired and drained mentally and physically .

The recent old wise witch he met after trying for two months to track her down, told him to try out from a place which holds the most significant memory for both of them and utter his heart's deepest desires there!

Kong had been stumped about that information, not able to understand what he should do. Should he go back again to the mall or the waterfall. The best memories of their short time together belonged at those two places. But he had already tried so many times at both of those places, even on ordinary days and nights!

But now as he jolts up from his fitful slumber, he understands where he has to go, while sitting panting on the bed , sweat drenched and slightly shivering in anticipation and eagerness for his light!

The place he never visited in these past months! The place that started it all! The place which held the most significance for them, the place he hurt his mate the first time and never apologised. His cruelty, the forced subjugations, the saga of his torture on his mate, all started from there, on another full moon night, months before!

He calls up Em, the moment realisation dawns on him,.Em, ever alert to his mater's plight, picks up the phone in a single ring as he asks for a flight right away. He will reach there in the evening about to be night . The place is behind in time zone, he will gain a day!

Kong rushes to their private airport not even remembering to inform his parents . His heart thumping, his hands sweaty as a nervous fear grips him. When the flight lands he almost changes into his eager wolf Prajan immediately. Somehow he controls it and reaches the cottage among the woods. The moon is shining bright and as the driver pulls away with the car, the wolf emerges and rushes to the jungle, crossing the turbulent stream and reaches their spot of first forceful mating, in mere minutes!

He looks at the water sparkling in the white light of a sparkly almost full moon, he closes  his eyes and can even see and feel the bleeding smaller wolf at his mercy, the clovers leaves mark glowing for him and how Prajan lost control, as kong laughed internally telling him to have fun. He remembered that night so well and so much in detail!

He can never forget, How merciless he was , how vicious and remorseless kong was!

Prajan howls at the moon remembering the pain, the pathos of the smaller pearly white wolf as he was torn and devoured by the mighty beast. How he had cried and whimpered, pleading, begging for him to be gentle, as the beast took him again and again!

" sorry Prathit , Arthit .. can you hear me sweetheart, I wish you can because I want you to know how much I regret everything. If I can just turn back time my mate! If I can just open my heart and show you now , how much I miss you my love, how much I cherish you!

Yes , you are.. you are My only love , you are my soul. I am lost without you my sun, I miss you so damn much . I love you .. I love you so so much ."

And the wolf howls again, not able to continue anymore , his heartbreak resonating in the dark forest.. echoing everywhere, his laments passing through the flowing water to an eager ear far far away..

The stream water sparkles and shivers like rippling wave , like it has its own life .. and Prajan looks down amazed as an image of a lone white wolf reflects in the pooled pearly white water , his blue eyes shining .

Prajan jumps into the lake and immediately can feel himself sink , like the water is a worm hole sucking him in , he falls and falls freely, feeling weightless but inside a happiness blooms as he knows in his heart where he is reaching and soon enough he lands in an endless tulip field beside a lake , just like his dreams !

He changes into kong , and looks at himself . He is already magically in a milky white shirt and black pants as he makes his way to the lone human figure on a wooden bench, watching the sunset! His back to kong, not realising the mate he is yearning for, is already arrived and behind him.

" Arthit" the man in a crisp white t shirt and blue jeans turns abruptly.

For a moment kong cannot take his eyes off him. Arthit is positively glowing. Though he is sitting,  kong can very well make out the protruding pregnant belly which his baggy t shirt cannot hide anymore .

" phi kong?" Arthit cannot believe his own eyes , as he reaches his hands out , for so many nights he has reached out to him, tried to ask him the question, phi kong cant you love me even a little ? Can't you?

" Arthit" kong grasps his hands tightly, his hands feel warm, yes he is really here . He has found his mate ! And then the river flows. He hugs him and cries . They both cry, this time they both missed each other , both realised longing and love . A deep blossoming love . It's in bud stage but it's there, nascent within both of them!

" phi kong .. I.. I .. I am pregnant."

Arthit blurts out as kong kisses his forehead . Their tears of relief slowly easing up.

" hmm I can see that very well Arthit. I will not ask you why you didn't tell me about my baby . Because I know the reason, I didn't deserve to know ."

" hmmm, phi.. it's babies .."

Kong stares at him, his pupils not even moving, transfixed .

" so shocked by your mates revelations or are you scared and now wanna runaway ?"

A woman's voice breaks his stupor .

Arthit tries to get up to shield his mate from his aunt fearing her wrath on Kong. In this three months his aunt had told him multiple times how his mate is not worth waiting and he should leave this limbo with her and join her in her witch world and find a new mate, after babies are born.

But he knew in his heart if he leaves this place, his aunt will take him so far away that he will never ever be able to contact Kong or kong will never be able to find him. So he has stoically endured the limbo. The nothingness of everyday life , thinking only about his mate, trying hard to reach his mind .. somehow someway!

Kong wais at her politely, shocking Arthit , as kong makes him sit down again, squeezing his hand ,and assuring him by his eyes that he will be able to handle his aunt .

" no I am just surprised . Extremely pleasantly if I may add and I want to take him back home with me . So that this time around I can amend all my past mistakes and take care of my beloved one and adore him, cherish him like he should have been. Always and forever."

" one wrong move ..." she Begins but this time Arthit cuts her

" if it's wrong we will make it right, together . We will make mistakes we are young and different in our attitude and upbringing , but we also know what we have is something special that both of us have lost and found . He professed his love and in time I know I can too. Give us your blessing aunt mae . And I hope dad forgives you soon too."

His aunt mae suddenly smiles , understanding Arthit had leant to navigate his ways and kong has learnt to love . She presses a kiss on his forehead .

" I will keep in touch . You know how to reach me . And here's a special gift for me, for all the heartbeats missed and heartbreak endured by you two. You can stay in this limbo for as long as you like . And go back to the real world when you both desire . I guess you have lots of thing to talk and to do, to make up for the separation."

She winks at the blushing Arthit and dubiously smug kong as she disappears again in a white smoke .

" how will we get out ?"

" we just have to close our eyes, think of a place together and I guess we can leave . Do you want to leave now."

" and miss the opportunity to take my pregnant sexy mate glowing like a dazzling sun in this vast tulip field ? No way!"

And before Arthit can even comprehend kong lifts him up in his arms as his lips starts devouring his neck and jaws and walks slowly amidst the dancing flowers in the soft wind that soothes them.. clothes start falling off , as kong whispers in the sensitive ears of the tomato red man in his arms ..

" let me apologise in a way that we will both remember for a long long time, let me make love to you, my enchanting mate , the love of my life ."

The dusk slowly changes to night .. a full moon night .. in a shimmering and swaying tulip field ..

" mark me as yours tonight , I belong only to you ."

Kong whispers capturing the trembling anticipating lips, kissing them prying them open , beginning the start of a very long and passionate time ahead...
