"So when are we starting?"

"....."

"Will you allow me to keep my pentagrams? It's fine thou as long as my spell book is with me I can make a new one."

.....

"Shall I pack some food an-..."

"I won't take you...."

"Why?!!!! I promised you that I would behave right? Why can't you?"

"My people won't welcome a witch."

"I am a human!!! A human!!"

"Human too.... we only have hybrids and beasts!" Arthit cursed himself after ending his words for leaking info about his land without consciousness.

"Then introduce me as a hybrid after all you told me I don't look human at all!" Kongpop declared with a proud look, not at all hurtful.

"How dare you ask me to lie to my people?!!! I should burn you alive!" Arthit sneered with an irritated look.

"Burn?!!!!! Are you  a dragon blood?" Kongpop asked with dazzling eyes.

Arthit eyes rounded but he composed himself soon and shook his head.

"No no! You are lying, I heard that dragon rules your land, and you address the hybrids as your people so you must be a dragon! Oh my gosh!!! What I will do?!!! I am having a dragon in my home!!" Kongpop screamed at the end for Arthit to yell.

"Shut the fuck up! I am not a dragon! Get lost!"

Kongpop didn't mind it he did a high jump in joy and paced around the hall causing Arthit to growl annoyingly.

Kongpop watched Arthit's reaction with an anticipated look. But when he received nothing but blank he sulked and poked Arthit's arms.

"I know I should not demand this but-..."

"Then don't demand it!" Arthit let out keeping his voice chill.

Kongpop jabbed little hard and earned a hiss from the latter which was neglected by the witch as usual.

"I rarely cook new dishes... so please tell me how is it?" Kongpop asked blinking his eyelashes.

"Nauseate! Barely edible!" Arthit answered straight and regretted at heart seeing the unhappiest expression of Kongpop.

"Sorry..... I don't have much information about cooking, I only know 3 dishes.... but you have to gain energy for your beast that's why I tried this..."

Arthit swallowed and averted his eyes to the other side when his heart felt a pang by his enemy.

Kongpop halted eating his dish which seemed okay for him. He stood and moved out of the circle with the food plate.

"I will make usual," he whispered before getting into the kitchen area which was five steps away from the hall.

"I am hungry.... feed me whatever you were feeding and did you ask to take it away? I just replied honestly about the taste," Arthit spoke before sighing internally for giving in.

He should not care this much, it's up to the latter, if he wants to cook something else let him why should he care?! He wants to slap his soul for sensing emotions towards an enemy.

Kongpop's face brightens better than his torch which makes Arthit delighted.

"How do you feel?"

"Same," Arthit answered in one word not elaborating his emotions.

"Maybe you can feel your beast once you get back to your region, let's travel tomorrow!" Kongpop excitedly clasped his hands.

"Instead you can erase the whole circle!" Arthit snorted with a glare.

"Why are you so stubborn my dragon!"

"First I am not stubborn but you are, second I am not yours and lastly I am not a dragon!" Arthit said with finality.

"Give me proof, get your beast out," Kongpop whispered leaning close to Arthit's face.

The human scent invaded Arthit's nose. He inhaled it secretly cause apart from the latter cuteness this is one thing Arthit fond of the latter.

"Be glad I am here, my beast won't let you breathe for long like me."

"Dying in a dragon's hand seems enjoyable!" Kongpop giggles getting back from Arthit's face.

"Let's see that!"

"Anyway, I am genuinely worried, what happened to you? Why are you out of your land?"

Arthit went to his silent mode again closing his eyes.

"I might not able to help you thou... but this human will be the best comfort for you, and will keep it inside my heart till death, never breathe out a word!"

Arthit felt the sincerity but he knew the latter was not just a mere human but had a witch's nature and who knows what else he had inside so he kept his silence not bothering to even acknowledge the latter.

"Hey!!" Arthit called Kongpop attention who was sleeping on the chair after annoying Arthit for hours with his begging.

He turned with his sleepy look. Arthit gestured to him that he wanted to use the restroom.

Kongpop nods with a yawn walks to the table and takes the potion bottle.

Arthit gulped the pouring liquid on his mouth. Kongpop wipes the latter lips without hesitation.

Arthit neglected the gesture which brought closeness between them. He moved his legs and hands once he felt the drug in his body.

He reached the restroom with Kongpop's help. As much as he wants to escape and check on his family he can't, everything is possible only with his beast who is nowhere in his system.

When they were walking back to his circle Arthit stumbled and fell on the floor dragging Kongpop who hovered over Arthit.

The sound of a fast heartbeat synchronised as their scents, and both of their hands clutched each other tightly.

Arthit eyes glanced down and set on the head which was on his torso.

He waited for some time when the witch didn't move he became concerned and touched the blocks with his quivering fingers.

"I got an i-idea," Kongpop uttered which made Arthit retreat his fingers.

"Why don't you take me as your partner?..... I mean... not real.... fake lover, you can introduce me ask your lover.... I will live in the corner and never disturb or harm anyone... what you say?"

Kongpop question hangs in the air. Arthit body slowly came back from the drug and felt electrified by the closeness of the witch's breath and heated body.

Arthit pushed the witch with his found strength. Kongpop startled and quickly composed himself before helping Arthit to reach the circle.

Arthit tried to escape but he couldn't so he accepted his defeat and ended up stepping inside the circle.

Kongpop tried to hide his hurt but he couldn't, even though he should not blame the beast for being silent, who else would not? After all, he is not worth it, even humans won't accept him.

Arthit didn't sleep a wink because of the witch's silence. Not a word, the pregnant silence concerned him more than he anticipated.

He didn't want to acknowledge it so he kept mute. He turned to Kongpop when the latter walked upstairs and came back after an hour with new attire which enhanced his sparkling.

"I am stepping outside," Kongpop announced keeping his eyes on the exit.

"Hmmm.." just a hum even though he wants to ask the latter where he is going, he has neither seen the latter dress up nor step out without his hunting tool so he gets confused and contemplates a lot.

However, he didn't ask him as he has no rights over that. Furthermore, he is already angry with himself for not feeling bad when the latter offered himself as his partner.

The word didn't anger him instead felt nice which he should not, they are from different regions and species.

Even though his mother is fond of hybrids and open-minded his father and uncle are not so he decided to not water the idea.

Arthit waited and waited till he heard the door unlocking. The rusted wooden door opened and Kong stepped inside drenched completely.

Is it pouring heavily? Arthit questioned inside his mind cause he didn't hear a sound, maybe the witch might have used a spell to stop the sounds.

He shrugged and observed Kongpop who didn't move from the door, leaning against it with closed eyes.

Something seems off he can see it through Kongpop action. He decided to question it but before he did it, a loud knock and growl startled him.

He quickly turned to Kongpop who panicked and tried to put the lock but failed miserably. The door opened with a thud, and a grey wolf followed by 3 men stood at the entrance.

"If a dog lost the way and can't find it back then the master should do it, right? So here I am Kongpop your master, " The man behind the grey wolf remarked before invading the house making Kongpop clutch the spell book close to his chest with dreadful eyes.
