It's After Dark.

A little snippet.

Luna gaped and blinked looking around like a fool. Waiting for someone to say something to Kerkklai but no one did. In fact they looked anticipated... And that sight scared Luna. Who clenched her jaws and met Kerkklai's gaze again.

"I just want our child to be safe..." Luna started crying. "Why don't you understand?"

"He is the safest when he is away from you and this house..." Kerkklai hissed, regretting the day he marked this wretched witch. And he loved her so much that he failed being a father.

Luna gaped again... Her tears didn't work anymore and she looked pleadingly to her son... And to her horror Dean looked away with disgust in his eyes. Making Luna feel suffocated that her clutches remained no more... And she glared at a trembling Kong. Who was instantly shielded by Lisa.

"You see that Mishtu... Your mother is a coward... You don't have to be afraid of her doing anything." Kerkklai hissed. "And about ruining our names in society... You do that everyday... With whatever you do to take out your frustration. Of being a failure."

Luna kept trembling with fury and glaring at where Kong was hidden.

"Omega Luna Sutthiluk..." Kerkklai never used his dominance. Never. But now. It was necessary. "As your alpha I command you. You will keep your distance from my child from this day forth. And never use your sick tricks to manipulate him again... You will not interrupt his healing process. And stay as far as it can be from him. Or..."

Luna dropped on her knees... Knowing what that or meant... And she felt humiliated... Swearing that she will let Kong be... But when he will finally feel free and think that he won... She will take away all his happiness. Watching with resentment when Kerkklai walked away and Dean scooped Kong up following right after...

Kong had a bad feeling... But for the first time his father and brother chose him over everything else. And he feels horrible... But he really wants to breathe even if it's for one last time... He wants to live just once... Only this time...

Motherly warmth and affection is not something Kong ever experienced... He only faced his mother's wrath and scrutiny... No love only extreme control even after he did everything that can make her happy... So no matter how selfish... No matter for how long... He will  try to take whatever his father meant by healing one last time... He didn't know what was happening... But he didn't question...

He expected a lot of things... But a smiling Mayur opening the door of his lavish apartment was not one of them... He gaped at everyone with tired, beady eyes as he was made to sit on a sofa in the spacious, bright living room.

"You will stay with Mayur from now..." Kerkklai caressed Kong's head lovingly. Staring at his gobsmacked face. "Live anyway you want to... Enjoy living... Do what you want... Wear what you wish... Eat well drink well... But just keep living... And I promise... No one will stop you from living this time..."

Kong felt his throat tighten as he stared at his heart-broken father with confusion. Wondering what had happened.

"Will you promise Baba that you will live?" Kerkklai cried, hugging Kong tight. "Will you give your Baba another chance?"

Kong muffled his soft cries against Kerkklai's chest and no matter how much he tried ignoring his pain with his father's hold... It was still there... And he passed out again. This time it wasn't a daydream or a nightmare... Because when he woke up next... Mayur was sleeping right beside him holding him tenderly to himself.

That's how his life actually began... And he spent four years of his life... Living like he promised to. With his father's and brother's care... And no matter how selfish he might sound, he didn't miss his mother even once. His life changed in so many senses. He is still a shy introverted person but he did find his solace...
