Chapter Six: Mika
"Why does she have to be so fucking stubborn?"
Kandra sighs. "She's not stubborn, she just loyal and honorable."
"Well I wish she wasn't so loyal and honorable," I mutter.
She frowns at me. "You know those are supposed to be admirable traits—"
"Not if they're going to get her killed," I growl.
She sighs again. "She's a lot stronger than you give her credit for. There is a really good chance she will be able to survive without a mate."
"It is extremely rare for a dragon to live longer than a century without a mate and it is unheard of for a dragon to survive longer than a few decades after losing one."
"It hasn't happened before but that doesn't mean it can't ever happen."
I let out a heavy breath. "I'm just worried, she's not exactly off to a strong start. She sat in a silent vigil for her mate and daughter for three days until she finally passed out and her sons brought her to her room, and she hasn't left the palace sin

"Ow—fuck that hurt," I growl, rubbing the inside of my arm. The skin stings and is slowly turning bright red."That's why most archers wear guards on their arms. It's not just for decoration.""Well can I get one of those guards then?""No.""Why not?""Because I know you're tougher than that."I scowl a little and notch another arrow. It takes quite a bit of effort to pull back the drawstring and I only have a few seconds to aim before my fingers slip.I purse my lips in annoyance as the arrow goes completely past the wooden target. The inside of my arm throbs."Well you were still closer than last time," Queen Zari mutters."Yeah archery isn't really my thing, I can use a sword though—actually no I'm way better with the two short swords—what are those called?" I ask.She frowns. "I don't remember the name. That's an unusual weapon choice though, more common for girls it seems."My eyebro

"Gods do you all have an entire library in your minds?"Kyla giggles. "It's not difficult. It merely requires practice.""Yeah I don't think I could ever remember all of that stuff even with decades of practice.""The rune helps. Queen Syrra and I come from the same clan where knowledge is valued above everything so we both have the rune for knowledge," she tells me.I frown. "I thought only clan leaders get the tattoo?""I was the clan leader for more than a year while Queen Syrra was building her throne."My eyes go wide. "Aren't you only eleven?"She nods. "Twelve in a few weeks," she replies."Okay so who's the leader now?""My brother. He took over so I could train under Jalen.""Hey what's going on in here?"My gaze snaps to my mate in the doorway. Her eyebrow is raised and there is an amused smile on her lips."I'm learning tons of new things, like how Kyla apparently took over as clan leader
Mate to the King Chapter Nine: Jaxon
"Oh gods fuck yes. Shit. Fuck. Fuck me!"My eyes widen at the noises coming from the bathroom. "Ash what the hell are you doing in there?""I'm playing leave me alone."My eyes widen as I walk into the bathroom. Then I shake my head. Ash sits on the floor, staring at the old video game in his hands. I raise an eyebrow at him. "Having fun there?""Not anymore," he frowns, roughly setting it down.I chuckle. "Ash it's just a video game. They're hard to win," I say as I pick it up. "Where did you get this anyway?""Your mom gave it to me, she said I needed to modernize a little," he shrugs.I glance down at it and my heart drops. Only one person in our house liked retro video games like this.It was Maia's,Azazel murmurs.Yeah.I carefully place it on my dresser then clear my throat. "Did my mom give you anything else?" I ask."No but we got to talking—we have a lot in common&mdas
Mate to the King Chapter Ten: Fara
I let the waves of heat roll over me, sighing at the energy that seeps into my aching muscles. It's quiet, so quiet I can hear my own heartbeat.After a few minutes of staring into the flames I find myself humming. I haven't heard the song in years, and I don't remember the words but the tune is permanently etched in my mind.The fire seems to almost dance to it.Footsteps snap me out of my trance, and I sit up, my heart pounding. My eyebrows furrow at the dark shadow of the dragon king—only recognizable by his golden hair, gleaming in the light of the volcano."I'm sorry I didn't think anyone was going to be up here," he murmurs."What are you doing here?" I ask.He shrugs. "I couldn't sleep," he says."Where's your mate?""He's helping his mother."I frown. "It's the middle of the night.""Yeah well she's still struggling, and some days are worse than others," he mutters."Right," I mumble, scooting
Mate to the King Chapter Eleven: Kaine
This should not be this difficult.It's not difficult at all, you just suck at magic,Lucifer snorts.I can control fire better than Jaxon!Maybe when you were ten. He's been way better than you for years now,he scoffs."Everything okay?" Syrra asks.I glance up. "Yeah. Lucifer's just an asshole."Hey!he growls.Oh don't even try to deny it.Fine I'm an asshole and you're stupid,he snarks.Good luck doing fire magic without my help.I roll my eyes and sigh heavily. "Gods he's such a big baby," I mutter.Syrra laughs. "You're both babies sometimes," she remarks."I'm not a baby!""Kaine you practically threw a tantrum when Jalen said you're not allowed to train for another two weeks.""I did not throw a tantrum," I growl."Well you tried to punch him and then threw a spell book at his head
Mate to the King Chapter Twelve: Ash
"Gods they're so loud," I mutter.Jax chuckles, turning over in my lap to look at me. "Do you want me to close the doors?" he asks."No," I sigh. "It's nice with them open I just wish they would all go to sleep already.""It's their break, they're not going to go to sleep for another week at least," he says.I make a face, my shoulders slumping a little. "Could we send the guards out? Make them at least stay far away from the palace so we can't hear them?""I suppose, though there's a chance they consider this payback for all the noise we make," he smirks.I feel heat rush to my cheeks. "Right, they probably don't appreciate that at all," I mumble sheepishly.He grins up at me. "If they have a problem with it, they're welcome to complain to me."I roll my eyes. "Yeah like they're actually dumb enough to tell the dragon king to keep it down.""True. Well they're starting to get on my nerves too so I'm going to try to send
Mate to the King Chapter Thirteen: Angel
"What part of 'no' do you not understand?" I growl."Please Angel I can't do this―""And what the fuck makes you think I can?" I snarl, struggling to maintain control of my wolf as I stalk closer.Her eyes fly wide and she takes a few steps back. "Look I'm sorry! I didn't want to do this to you but Lyza made the wrong choice! I don't have alpha blood and I have no idea what I'm doing! I'm begging you―please!" she whimpers, tears running down her face."I said no," I growl before turning away. I hear her shift and take off into the forest only seconds later."Well that was brutal," Zella murmurs."Telling her nicely didn't seem to get the point across the first three times so I decided to change tactics," I snap, storming through the trees.My mate follows close behind, letting out a heavy sigh. "She's just a kid Angel, you can't seriously expect her to be able to handle this?""Well what the hell do you want me to do?""
Mate to the King Chapter Fourteen: Lyzaria
"Go away.""I want to talk to you—""I said go away.""Please—""Gods just leave me alone!"I breathe a sigh of annoyance. "Fara just listen to what he has to say, we'll be leaving soon anyway," I tell her.She growls under her breath but says nothing more as she follows the boy into the hallway. I turn back to my son, currently splayed out on the floor."Are you okay?""No."I frown a little when he continues staring at the ceiling. "Are you going to tell me why?"He lets out a heavy breath then starts chewing on his lip. "I miss home," he finally admits, glancing over at me. "This place is like a war zone when the monsters come, and I feel like the village idiot all the time."The pain on his face makes my dragon growl. "This place is very different from dragon or wolf territory. The culture and environment here are the most diverse of all the territories and it's what makes them so powerful.
