Chapter 3: Dismissed My Family

Mikel Diego:

I scented the beautiful human, and I knew she had run into my bedroom. But how come, how did she escape Abigail and Nana's clutch?

I closed the door shut first, knowing she wouldn't be able to escape or fly out the window, as I doubt she could fly. I had to dismiss them to avoid causing panic around the whole palace. I was the dragon king, but my mother, the queen, and my sister were around, and they hadn't seen her except for my chosen mate, Zuri, who was with me when Aaron arrived with her.

Zuri's eyes burned with disgust as the human was pretty and worse Aaron brought her bare without her clothes. How come?

I had felt hard on seeing how sexy and curvy her waist was. I was a dragon king and 540 years old. But since I was conceived and birthed, I hadn't seen a pretty human female like her.

We didn't grow older in our kingdom; instead, we abducted human females to use for crossbreeding to maintain balance in our system. The female dragons hardly birthed many baby dragons. They were jealous and possessive of us and hated the idea of us taking human females away from their parent's house to use them for breeding purposes. But we had no other option.

Since I accepted Zuri as my mate 300 years ago when I came of age and before I lost my father, Zuri hadn't yet conceived for me, and up till now, I didn't know why.

Zuri refused to leave, and worst was she didn't support me with the idea of taking a second mate.

I knew she was burning with rage, seeing me staring at the pretty human with lust as Aaron clearly triggered me on, knowing she was cute and purposely brought her without clothes.

She possessed a strong personality, and I also had a lot of questions to ask Aaron. He needed to explain to me where and how he chose to bring her bare, with a multitude of people gathering in front of our open magnificent palace and staring at her.

I'm sure a lot of them would soon come to purchase her, as we sold any new human captured to become a mate to any dragon family that wanted them.

"King Mikel, we need to talk!" Zuri's loud voice echoed in the passage after I had dismissed Abigail and Nana. I walked up to meet her to avoid her from stepping into my room.

"Talk about what, Zuri? I will see Aaron later and find out why he chose to bring the human without her clothes on. I'm sure it was not intentional," I said to Zuri calmly, but Zuri was raging like she wanted to let out fire and burn the human female to death.

Some of the human females had been killed by some jealous female dragons, and I just hoped I can protect this pretty stubborn human female from my mother, sister, and more likely Zuri, as Aaron isn't a problem.

Aaron has his own mate, Aspen, and she had given birth to two daughters for Aaron, Lily and Lola, twins. Aspen was pregnant again, and we were hoping for a male dragon so that I could rest assured that the male child of Aaron would be my successor to the throne to continue ruling our kingdom.

"King Mikel, I don't want that human to be kept in this castle with us. Let her be sent away to wherever she came from; I don't need her around here," Zuri complained bitterly. I continued walking through the passage so that Zuri wouldn't scent the delicious human scent, and we met with Aaron on the way.

Aaron indeed knew how to show up when I'm in distress, and he asked, "What's going on? Zuri, you know our tradition, or do you want to wipe out our entire clans away. You're unable to birth a son or daughter for my brother, and you’re worst sending away all the pretty females that we had brought. Are you a witch, Zuri?"

"Enough, Aaron! Let her be," Mother interrupted as she walked up with Lucy to meet us.

"Mikel, Aaron, where's the new female that was brought? I heard she was brought into this palace without clothes on," asked mother as she peered at me.

"Mom, I need to be left alone. Abigail and Nana are dressing her up and preparing her to be sold tonight," I lied as the pretty girl wasn't going anywhere.

I was the king and whatever decision I made was final. I was soft at heart, but that didn't mean I would sit back and watch this pretty human being sold to a male in my clan when I'm still unable to have a child of my own.

It seems the gods of our lands have chosen to bless me not just with any human, but with a pretty one at that, and I smiled.

"Hmm... It's alright. Come, Zuri, let's go. Besides, you don't need to worry about the lady. She will be sold tonight," Mother told Zuri as she walked up to meet Zuri and pulled her by her arms to follow her, while Lucy only stared at me and Aaron in silence, her red eyes on me.

Lucy had stubbornly refused to leave the palace as she didn't want to lose her princess title. Luckily for her, we didn't grow old and still maintained our youthful skin. Even as we aged, we remained the same. Years passed, but we stayed the same, except for the humans. I heard some dragons had lost their human mate, but this pretty one wasn't going anywhere.

I made up my mind to turn her into a dragon, as only I, Aaron, and my sister had the powers to do that, being born of ancestral royal dragon blood.

Although we didn't tell the other dragons about it, so they might not be aware of the fact of turning a human into a dragon, but I was ready to try that with that pretty woman. I patiently wanted to dismiss all of them to shut the passage door and be left alone with the human female while waiting for nightfall so she could be sold.

Although it wasn't the auction season, because Aaron had brought her without clothes, many dragon males had seen her and how endowed she was. I'm sure they would be ready to drop millions of gold to have her, even for a night, but I wouldn't let that happen.

"Brother, how do you see her?" Aaron turned to face me, and I breathed out in relief.

"She's beautiful. Where did you bring her from? She looks like the other princesses we've sold," I said.

"Yes, brother. I think so, but she's strong and ruthless. She was the one who killed those two guards we sent to abduct the human females and bring them to the palace," Aaron said.

"How interesting. But I seem to like her, and that might be a bit of a problem, as she escaped from Abigail and Nana's clutch, and she's in my chamber now," I told Aaron, and his jaw dropped.

"What! That's even the best idea, as I purposely brought her for you. I could have killed her, as she disguised as a male, but when I felt her burning yellow eyes, that I knew only the royal family of Sunfield had such yellow eyes, I perceived her scent and immediately knew she was of royal blood, but I was confused, seeing her dressed as a male. She's tough, brother. Though she looks small, you have to be careful with her, as she wouldn't hesitate to cut off your rod," Aaron smirked and showed me his arms that were still healing.

"She did this?" I asked.

"Yes. She's a perfect sword mistress, and I'm sure she would want to avenge her late family and sisters' absence," Aaron replied.

"Hmm..." I hummed.
