Arthit's Pov -------

"Prince..."

I looked up from my laptop screen and arched my brow in question... Knott was standing across the desk with some files in his hands.

"I need your signature on these documents..."

Knott said, opening the first file and placing it, infront of me.

"What are these documents ??"

I asked, taking the file in my hands.

"The shipment of new medical equipments is all set to be dispatched and we need your signature to complete the final procedure..."

Knott replied, while placing another file beside the first one.

"Did you personally checked the quality tests, before packaging...??"

I confirmed, as I trust very few people, when it comes to the reputation of R.R. Corps.

"Ofcourse Prince, I checked all the quality tests, twice before approving the packaging. I have attached all the reports in this file and already mailed it to you also"

As always... Knott was well prepared and up to the mark, in his work. He is my most efficient and certainly one of the most trusted person.

Despite having the atmost trust in his abilities and devotion towards the Royal family and R.R.Corp, I still checked all the papers diligently... Every single detail and the list of all equipments to be exported.

Before expecting efficiency from my people, I need to show them mine... I don't trust anyone blindly... They need to earn it and work harder to keep it intact.

After being completely satisfied, I signed the documents and returned the files to Knott. He bowed and walked out after reminding me that the last meeting of the day, will start in half an hour from now.

I sighed... as I was too distracted to concentrate on my work today. Because Today... My parents were supposed to visit Suthiluck's house to meet my mate and ask about his consent for our wedding.

Two days ago... When my mother asked me to send the wedding proposal to Suthiluck house... I thought she was aware of him being my fated mate. But that night I got to know that we were truly destined to be together from the start.

I didn't know that my mother was friends with Kong's mother, from their childhood days in India. And I was certainly amazed when she told me that I was so drawn towards the baby Kong, at the very first sight that I was ready to take him home with me at any cost, and because of my reluctance to leave him alone... Our mothers decided to bind us together... They Promised us, to be each other's mate in future.

.
.
.

Kongpob Suthiluck was betrothed to me since the very first day of his life.

.
.
.

He was MINE, from the beginning.

.
.
.

My mother asked me to go with them to meet him, at his uncle's house today... But I denied, by saying... that I have some very important meetings to attend which can't be delayed and they should go and meet him first, I will accept anything they will decide for me.

But, the real reason for not going with them was entirely different... I wanted to meet him alone, without any watchful eyes on us. It's been a year, since I saw my baby with my own eyes, not through the cameras of the security guards, I have appointed around him... And I was certain that I won't be able to keep my eyes off, of my mate when he will be sitting infront of me and I didn't want to come out as a creep or a love sick puppy in front of my parents and his family members.

Specially... His over protective brother.

Dean Suthiluck... has been aware about Kong being my fated mate, since the time my love was ready to go to Japan to pursue his dreams. Obviously, Dean was shocked as hell at first and later he was delighted with the knowledge. He told me that he was truly happy for both of us... but he didn't think twice before threatening me either... Me, The Supreme Alpha and the Crown Prince of White Rock Kingdom. He warned me to love and take care of his little princess with the atmost care he deserves, otherwise I will have to face the wrath of his Big B, doesn't matter if I was the crown prince or future King, he will hunt me down, even from the last corner of this earth, if I ever hurt his sweet little Kongy.

That day... I realised that Dean won't be intimidated by my Royal position or status, Nor he will be scared of me being the highest rank Alpha. Despite knowing it very well that he doesn't stand a chance infront of me in strength and power as 'I am the strongest of them all, even at my lowest' any given day, But his love and care for his little princess knows no bounds and I have always been respected him, for that.

But I won't tolerate his sneaky ass, if he ever tried to keep my mate away from me.

That's why I have decided to meet my little bun, tomorrow... Alone, on a lunch date, I have already informed about my plan to his Big B and I can't tell you how much I enjoyed his reply 'As you say, Prince' through his gritted teeth.

Ohh, I can't wait for this day to be over soon.

Around eight in the evening I reached home and went to see my grandpa as always, after discussing some important details about today's meetings, he asked me to take care of few necessary arrangements for my coronation ceremony on his birthday. As VIP guests from all over the world were going to attend the ceremony and we needed to be vigilant about the security of each and every royal guest in the kingdom.

About an hour later I was sitting at the dining table with my whole family to have our dinner together. Everyone was there, My grandpa... My Father... My Mother... My uncle... But My Doll was missing...!!

"Mom... Where is Aalia ??"

I asked about my little sister.

"She went to attend her friends engagement party... She will be a little late tonight..."

Grandpa answered instead of my mother. I think she was upset with me because of not going with them.

"Father... You shouldn't have allowed her to stay outside this late... She is still too young..."

My uncle said, without looking up from his dinner plate. My uncle and grandpa shared a very strained relationship and no one knows the reason behind it.

"I am the head of this family and no one can question my decisions... I know what is best for my family..."

Grandpa replied.

"I am her father... It's only my right to decide for my daughter..."

Uncle argued back.

"Aroon... "

My father said strictly, and my uncle looked down again but stopped eating.

"I have sent my most trusted guards with our princess, don't worry. She will be fine and be back home soon..."

My father spoke quite softly this time.

"Thank you brother..."

My uncle said and started eating again without any more words.

My uncle only listens to my father. These two brothers loves each other a lot, just as I adore my sweet little sister, to the moon and back. She is the life of this palace, the source of our happiness, a true blessing for all of us.

But right now... My only concern was to pacify my cutely sulking mother... Sometimes she behaves like a small child instead of a mother and when I am at the receiving end of her mood swings, my father will be the most delighted man at the moment. He often gets jealous of his own son to steel all the attention of his beautiful wife. He was eagerly waiting from years, for me to find my mate and leave his wife alone, all for himself... Though sadly, it never gonna happen... My mom will always be the most important women of my life and I will never let my father have her all for himself...

He has to share his wife with me without any drama as I am sharing my mother with him without any tantrums.

End of debate...

Throughout the dinner, I was trying to get my mother's attention but was failing miserably... She didn't even spare me a glance and my father was smiling like he won the noble prize for saving the world. But I wasn't going to give up... I will make her to talk to me anyhow...

So, when she went to the kitchen after dinner, I followed her there...

"Maa..." (Mother)

I called her in Hindi... My mom loves to talk in her native language, specially when she is very happy or really emotional... and I love to talk to her in hindi too, the language is really beautiful and full of feelings.

"Aap jaante hai na, hum aapse naraaz hain... !!"

(You know that I am upset with you, right... !!)

"Hum jaante hain maa... Par aap bhi to jaanti hain na ki aap jyada der tak humse naraaz reh nahi sakti... "

(I know mom... But you also know that you can't stay mad at me for long... )

"Aap ek din ka waqt nahi nikaal saktey apni maa ke liye ??"

(Can't you spare a day for your mother ??)

Mom asked, finally looking at me.

"Humaara saara waqt aapke liye hi hai maa..."

(All my time is only for you, mom... )

I replied, walking closer to her.

"Hum aap dono ko sath main dekhna chahte they, Arth. Bahut saalon ke intzaar ke baad ye din aaya tha..."

(I wanted to see you both together, Arth. After so many years of waiting, this moment has come...)

Mom said, getting a little emotional, I stepped closer and took her into my arms. Wrapping my hands tightly around her and kissing her head I said...

"Poori zindagi hai aapke pass hum dono ko saath dekhne ke liye, maa... Na hum kanhi Jaa rahe hain aur na ab aapki laadli Bahu ko kanhi jaane denge hum. Bahut intzaar karwaya hai unhone humaari maa se..."

(You have your whole life to see us together mom... I am not going anywhere nor I am letting your dear daughter in law, to go anywhere. She made my mom to wait a lot for her already)

I said while hugging her closer to my heart, and I could feel her lips streching into a beautiful smile over my chest.

"Here he is... Clinging to my wife, like always..."

My father walked in, behind us.

He came closer and pulled my mom out of my embrace, abruptly.

"We have found a very beautiful mate for you, Now you should go and cling to your own wife and leave mine for me, finally !!"

My father said with his dramatic expressions.

"No Dad... My mom will always be my first love, no matter what !!"

I replied as stubbornly.

"Oh !! How I wish I had a sweet daughter instead of a brat son like him..."

My father said, glaring at me.

"Please Roger... He is the best son any parents can ask for... You should be thankful to God for giving you a Jem like him instead of calling him a brat"

My mother scolded my father and stepped again into my arms. And I was just too delighted to win against my own father, once again. My mom was the best.

"Yeah yeah... I would have been thankful to God... If this so called Jem of yours would have let me live in peace with my wife, even for a single day. Since he has been born... He always takes up all your time, attention and love for himself alone and make me feel single and lonely all the time... Tell me, how I could be thankful to God... ?? "

My father asked in an irritated tone and my mother just glared at him.

Turning back to me she held my cheek in her palm.

"Arth... Aap kab milne Jaa rahe hain meri laadli Bahu se ??"

(Arth... When are you going to meet my dear daughter in law ??)

My mother asked, looking at me with questioning eyes.

"Aap pareshan na ho Maa... Hum kal hi milne jaayenge aapki laadli Bahu se... Theek hai, ab khush !!"

(Don't worry mom, I will go and meet your dear daughter in law tomorrow... Okay, happy now !!)

I told her and she smiled so beautifully that I couldn't stop myself from smiling back and pressed my lips over her forehead lovingly.

Oh... I love my mom.

"Okay okay... It's enough now... You should go and sleep. You have to look at least presentable infront of my beautiful daughter, otherwise she will refuse to marry you and I won't get this golden opportunity again... It's high time now, you should get married and have your own personal life, instead of disturbing mine... All the time !!"

My father said, separating me and my mother once again... Ahhh... He will never change.

Nor will I.

"Okay Dad..."

"Good night Maa and I love you the most..."

I said and walked out of the kitchen, smiling at my father complaining to my mother that I didn't even wished him good night.

.

I was deep in sleep when I heard a slow knock on my door... I woke up at once as I am a very light sleeper. Glancing at the table clock to find its almost midnight, I stepped down from the bed and opened the door and there stood my Doll... Holding her Tweety plushie between her small arms, dressed up in her Mini mouse night dress and her hair in two cute pigtails... Looking like a real-life Doll.

I smiled at her and stepped aside to let her come in and closed the door behind her. I saw her tiptoeing to my bed with her disoriented steps, she looked too tired and it's justified, she was not used to stay up till late night as my uncle was really strict towards her habits.

I walked towards the bed and layed beside her, she turned instantly and hugged me or you can say tried to... Because her fluffy plushie was between us and her tiny little arms were not able to reach behind me, so I engulfed her in my arms and covered us with the blanket, till our shoulders. The room was chilling as the Air conditioner was on with a very low temperature settings.

"What happened doll...??"

I asked while creasing her soft hairs lovingly.

"Papa scolded me... Because I came late."

She replied with a pout.

"It's okay doll... He was worried about you. You know he loves you a lot"

I tried to make her understand.

"I know Bhai... But I don't like it when anyone scolds me..."

She said, hiding her face in her plushie. She always comes to me when anyone scold her or even raise their voice on her... She clings to me untill she calms down. I loved to be her safe place and try to provide as much love and comfort, as I could.

I was about to fell asleep again, when she asked me...

"Bhai...!!"

" Hunnn..."

I replied.

"Badi Maa went to meet your future wife today... I wanted to go too, but I have to attend Sana's engagement. But badi Maa show me his pictures... He is so beautiful Bhai... You both will look so good together. I am so happy for you..."

She said in a sleepy voice and I smiled, looking at her half closed eyes. I kissed her temple and replied...

"I am happy too doll..."

Aalia slept after that but my sleep was long gone by now... I was wide awake, staring at the beautiful image of him sitting beside my mother, smiling timidly with his cheeks tinting red and eyes low, with his long and beautiful lashes falling over his blushing cheekbones. His beautiful hair falling around his face, some of the loose hair strings with slightly curly ends playing with his soft cheeks, making him looks mesmerizing.

Dean sent me this pic, in afternoon and I don't remember how many times I have opened my phone to stare at this particular picture. He was looking so so beautiful that I just wanted to run to him, take him in my arms and hide him in my embrace for forever.

"Wait for few hours more, my love. I will meet you soon..."

.
.
.

Next day I went to office in the morning and attended few important meetings. After getting free from my schedule of the day, I called Knott and asked him to take care of any important issue in my absence, as I was about to leave.

Then I sent a car with my trusted guards to Suthiluck house to pick him up for our lunch date. I have called Dean, first thing in the morning, to tell him, to inform his little princess about the lunch and asked him to send my mate on time.

I have booked the most beautiful restaurant for our first meeting, with the wonderful background view of sand beach. The food here, was too good... My mom loves this place a lot... because they serves the most authentic Indian food, in entire kingdom and I am well aware of my mate's fondness for Indian food.

In fifteen minutes, I reached at the restaurant, almost half an hour before the scheduled time, to check upon the security and other arrangements... I was feeling just too nervous and on the edge... My mate was going to meet me for the first time... I hope he will like me and be agreed for our wedding. I know, being an adult omega now, he will be able to sense my Alpha scent and me being his fated mate will make my scent too powerful and overwhelming for him. To make him a little familiar with my scent, I asked the staff of my private jet, to make him rest in my bedroom. I am sure he must have noticed my scent and would be able to recognise the bond between us, to some extent at least, if not completely. This will surely help him to take the decision of our wedding... Because I am not planning to tell him anything about us before our engagement... As I won't be able to stop myself from claiming him... And I want to be bonded with my mate through sacred rituals before claiming and marking my love.

I want the whole world to know that he was mine... and Only mine.

I got the message from Adrain, my personal bodyguard, that they will reach here in fifteen minutes and at the same time I got the message from Dean that Kong should be there in some time. I smiled and replied a simple 'okay' to Adrain and a 'Thanks' to Dean.

My heart was beating too fast and could feel the whole zoo running inside my stomach. I turned and looked at my reflection in the glass door, one last time, to check my appearance and as always... I was looking handsome, in my navy blue three piece suit.

(Edited by Lazylioness... She is just awesome 😇... Thanks lazylioness555 )

Suddenly my nose tickled with the most alluring scent of my mate and I smiled at the thought of seeing him so close to me, for the first time. One of my guards called me to inform that Adrain was escorting 'The Highness' inside the restaurant.

I tried to normalise my heavy breathing and took my seat, taking my phone out I texted my guards to stay outside and be alert. I have booked the whole restaurant for safety reasons and obviously to make my love feel comfortable in complete silence and extreme privacy.

Suddenly my ears caught the slow but heart catching sound of anklet bells, I looked up... And my whole world stopped for a moment....

(lazylioness555.. I can't praise you enough for these beautiful edits 😍)

There stood my love... Dressed up in a beautiful Indian attire, looking like an angel, so pure and innocent.

When I sent that dress for him, with Dean few months ago... I never thought that he would wear it, for our first meeting. I bought it, in so much hurry... Dean told me just an hour before his flight to Japan, that he was going to see my love, and I wanted to send something for him as always... Dean was the only source for me to send gifts for him at that time but not anymore... Starting from today, I can buy anything for my love and give it to him with my own hands.

He was walking towards me with slow and hesitant steps and I couldn't take my eyes off of him for a single second. Today... he literally took my breaths away.

Ohh Moon goddess !! Please help me to stay focused...

Kongpob's Pov-------------

The moment I stepped through the back door of the restaurant, into a beautiful cabin, made of see through glass walls. I was assaulted by the same overpowering masculine Alpha scent from the bedroom of his private jet. His smell hit me so hard that I felt my steps faltering a little, I was feeling myself getting into that immobile state again... I didn't even dared to raise my eyes up to see him but I could sense his presence closer...

"Here, take your seat... Your Highness..."

The guard said, pulling the chair out for me and I took it hurriedly before I could collapse and make a fool out of myself, infront of the Crown Prince, on our very first meeting.

"Prince... I will be waiting outside, call me, if you need any assistance..."

The guard said to the prince.

"You may leave Adrain..."

I heard the most authoritative and deep voice I have ever heard, it also held a velvety touch in it... that makes it much more captivating.

I felt him taking his seat, oposite of me and I could feel his eyes on me... Making me breathless. I don't even know why I was feeling this way... I have never been this much effected with any Alpha scent before but his presence was making me restless without any rebound. I was just loosing myself...

Maybe I am feeling like this... Because he is not any other Alpha... He is the Supreme Alpha... Strongest of them all.

There were hundreds of stories about his dominant and powerful Alpha aura... Which can make any other high rank Alpha to submit to him, on his knees infront of him.

I held the stole of my dress, tightly in my fists, to control my trembling self. I decided to wear an Indian dress today. After meeting his mother yesterday, I was missing my mom too much. My big B gifted me this dress when he visited me last time in Japan and I didn't have a chance to wear it yet. I don't know why, but I wanted to look my best today and I really feel beautiful in India dresses, so I choose this one. I hope, I was looking good to him too.

"Hi... I am Arthit... Arthit Rojnapat..."

I heard his voice again... And it was completely different from before...

I mean it's still deep and Authorative but it was softer now... Almost soothing unlike before, when he was talking to his guard.

"I am Kong... Kongpob Suthiluck..."

I replied, without looking up.

"You are looking so beautiful Kong..."

I heard his voice... Barely above a whisper but I heard it clear and my heart beats started to race all of a sudden. I looked up, not trusting my ears.

And I just inhaled a sharp breath when my eyes registered the most breathtaking face I have ever seen, infront of me... I never saw a man looking this handsome and beautiful at the same time... He was literally the most gorgeous and glorious creature of God... Without a doubt.

I have seen his face in magazines and news videos thousands of times before... But the real view of him... It was thousand times better than those pictures and videos.

I don't know why his mother even want him to marry me... I was no match for him, in any way.

He deserves the best only.

He deserves the most beautiful omega in this entire world to be his queen.

And I am certainly not the one...

But despite knowing that all... I wanted to be the one, for him, I wanted to be his... Want him to be mine too. I could feel an unexplainable attraction taking birth in me, for him. An unseen thread was pulling me towards him. People feared his dominating aura... But I was feeling safest with him, like he will never let any heartbreak or misfortune come closer to me, ever. Like he will keep me safe from all the sufferings of my past... Present and future.

I don't know if I am the one for him or not... But my heart, my soul was telling me that he was the one for me... The only one. I can't pinpoint this feeling, but it's growing inside me and taking control of all over my senses.

But, What if he called me here to reject me... ??

He didn't came to my house to meet me, with his parents yesterday... Maybe he wanted to ask me to say 'No' to the wedding proposal because he doesn't want to upset his mother by denying her, himself.

Oh My God !! Please No... I can't do that !!

Suddenly I was feeling breathless... Even with the thought of being away from him... It was like my heart will stop beating if he rejected me.

"Breathe Kong... Breathe..."

And... I took a deep breath, obeying him instantly...

I saw him smiling with a tint of mischievousness on his face. I know, he could sense his effect on me and I blushed scarlet for being too obvious.

"Please be comfortable... and stop thinking whatever you were thinking a moment ago... I just wanted to meet you to ask for your forgiveness... "

He said in his soothing voice and a soft smile.

"Forgiveness...?? "

I asked in confusion.

"For not being present with my parents yesterday... I had to attend some very important meetings. As you know it's my coronation ceremony in less than two weeks and I have so many things to look after about that. But that can't an excuse for my misbehave..."

He said, intertwining his fingers over the table.

"So... I am here to say that I am extremely sorry for my absence, yesterday... Please forgive me !! "

He said with so much sincerity in his eyes and voice that I couldn't doubt his intentions.

"It's okay..."

I mumbled slowly, twisting my fingers in my lap.

'Ohh... So he didn't call me here to reject me !!'

"And... I also wanted to tell you that the wedding proposal, was not only my mother's wish... It's mine too. I will be really honoured if you choose me as your mate. I promise to take care of you, for whole of my life... I will always respect you as my mate. I will always stay loyal to you, till my last breath. I promise you to walk beside you in every step of our life together, I will never leave you alone in any situation... Be it a happy or sad. You will always find me with you, in your every high and low... I will always cherish you as my wedded wife and honor you as my beloved queen"

He said looking straight in my eyes, his voice firm yet soft... Touching my heart strings and I could feel my eyes watering with emotions.

"Will you marry me, Kong...!!"

He asked... Tilting his head to the right, staring right into my soul.

I could only nod my head, unable to say anything or break the eye contect.

"Words... I need words, Kong"

He said with a slight smirk on his face.

"I... I will be honoured to be your mate..."

I replied in a slow voice.

"Trust me sweetheart... The pleasure will be all mine... I am the one who will be honoured... And Thank you so much for accepting me in your life..."

He said, inclining to the back of his chair.

"Should we have our lunch now...!!"

He asked suddenly and I realised that he asked me to join him for lunch.

"Yeah, sure..."

I replied.

"I hope you like Indian food, because this place is best to serve Indian dishes..."

He said while typing something on his phone.

"I love Indian food... Mom used to cook it for me and than Dad too."

I replied, remembering my parents.

"Then you will love our mom's cooking too, trust me she is the best... I always eat more than I should, when she cooks, specially Indian food."

He said smiling and I didn't miss, 'our mom'... When he was addressing his own mother. A small smile spread over my lips when I realised that I will have someone to address as 'Mom' now.

The food was served and I was again confused by the variety of food according to my choice and taste.

Was it really a coincidence ??

"Why are you not eating... Don't you like this dish ??"

He asked, while looking at me rotating the spoon in the bowl.

"No no... That's not it... I was just lost in my thoughts..."

I replied hesitantly.

"Please don't stress yourself, you can ask me anything, you want to know and I will try to answer, as truthfully as I can..."

He said while forwarding his hand towards me with a morsel of food and I opened my mouth, blushing at his boldness. It was our first meeting and he was behaving like he knows me from years.

We continued eating and he fed me several bites in between and I couldn't turn more red than I already was.

But it was the best ever meal I have had in a very long time.

After finishing the lunch he asked the server to bring gulab jamun and I couldn't stop myself from asking...

"Do you like gulab jamun yourself or you know somehow, that it's my favourite ??"

He smiled again and picked up the bowl of sweet dish, taking a bite from it, he again fed me first... than to himself.
I thought he wasn't going to answer, so I pulled the another bowl towards me silently.

"Gulab jamun is my favourite too... But I know that it's your most favourite..."

He said, offering another piece to me.

"How...?? "

I asked.

"You will know sweetheart... You will know everything with time... Just enjoy the sweetness of this moment, right now"

He answered with his beautiful dimpled smile and I felt like I could just drown in them.

Ohh Moon goddess !! Please help me to stay focused...
