Chapter 5

GIDEON MAVROS's POV.

" Are they dragons on set?"

I queried my people, stepping on the center top of my castle. The festival was mandatory for all the slaves who were brought into the kingdom, especially from Wars.

Alpha Diego was a coward to give his woman to me. He thought that he could trap me in his trick but I was the master of this play. Being accepted by my dragons was the first step here. Many women tried to be mine but all of them got killed. It was all because a dragon could sense someone's instinct. My dragons wouldn't kill anyone unless it found him or her disloyal.

But truth to be told, I found a new interest in this slave of mine. Even though I was forcing my dick on her mouth, her saliva was making it hard for me to not rip her mouth apart. I felt a strange pull towards her as soon as she took me in her mouth. Like Fuck!! I wanted to fuck her brains out there.

Elnora Caldwell....!

She was a called low classed omega in her pack. Even though she deserved a much higher position, Diego never appreciated her presence in his life. That's why, he gave up on her so easily. I couldn't understand him. How could he look at another woman when his mate was this beautiful?

Elnora was nothing less than a goddess. Her light red hair, her messy curls, and those fiery brown eyes were enough to make a man go crazy in lust. I wouldn't say that I fell in love with her at first sight. She was a temptation, a perfect distraction but not my lover. Probably my dragon would stop lusting for her after I fucked her on my bed if she stayed alive.

Tearing my eyes off from the dark forest, I turned to order the guards who were ready for my order,

" Set the dragons free except the black one."

The guards gave me a strange look but didn't dare to question my decision. I couldn't understand my intentions clearly at that time. The black dragon of mine was the most cruel one. It was impossible to capture his mind. But I didn't want that little girl to die so fast.

ELNORA CALDWELL's POV.

" Where...where are you taking me? Ah..It hurts.."

I cried out in fear as the maids dragged me outside of the castle. They let me wear revealed clothes, that barely covered my body and ass. One of them said that they were taking me to the dragons.

Strange Kingdom & their strange rituals!

The maids didn't stop me until I was taken into the dark forest. They told me to stay there and wait for the dragons. I tried to call them back, crying in fear,

" Why..why are you leaving me here?"

One maid replied with a wicked smile, turning her head back a little,

" Do you think that it's easy to be our king's slave? You have to pass the tests, woman. I can guarantee that you will die tonight."

Fear shuddered through my body as their backs disappeared, leaving me in the dark forest all alone. The place looked like a dark cave, a monster's den. I had never dealt with dragons. They were like a myth to me until I saw them with my own eyes recently.

Was I going to be dead tonight? What are the dragons planning to do with me?

My thoughts were interrupted as soon as the snarling of the dragon broke through the sky. Jolting, I looked up in the sky to see three dragons there, circling the trees. Instinctively, I wanted to run away but remembered one piece of advice given by the former Beta's mother,

" If you meet a dragon one day, keep calm and face the dragon through your sharp eyes. A dragon only submits when your aura is more powerful than the dragon."

I stayed in the same place, clenching my fists together, waiting for the dragons to punch at me. I didn't want to die anymore. Since I left the pack and was abandoned by my mate, what worse could happen to me?

Biting my lips together, I heard the wings flapping together and finally a brown dragon landed with a thud. The dragon was pretty big, had long tails, and seemed like a mother dragon. It was making protective growls, watching me like a prey.

My wolf wanted to rise and shout back at the dragon but I reminded her that it wasn't our place to fight against these creatures. They were innocent and as a part of their kingdom, we had to go through the rituals.

The dragon let out a low snarl, sniffed my body first, and started examining me. I could feel my heart beating wild but I didn't show it on my face. I wanted to show my mate that I wasn't the weak Luna that he thought. The other two dragons stayed in the sky, possibly waiting for their mother's command.

The brown dragon around me sniffed me repeatedly until it was satisfied and finally let out a loud growl. I gasped hard in shock but didn't run away. Lifting one of my hands, I reached out to touch its big head, speaking softly with a smile,

" There.. there...You are such a good pet, aren't you?"

To my surprise, the dragon didn't hate my touch. His momentum changed into a softer one. The dragon rubbed his head against my hands, growling happily like an obedient child. I felt a new excitement, running through my veins. I never knew that petting a dragon could be so satisfying.

The dragon played with my hand, rubbed its head against my body, and finally crunched down. I was stupified for a moment to understand its hints. He was showing his back, asking me to get on it so that he could fly away. I was hesitant to get on it as I had no idea if I was allowed to leave the castle or not. At the same time, I couldn't stop the thrill of riding a dragon alone.

Leaving my hesitations behind, I hopped on the dragon with a big grin, swaying my legs on both sides. Once I was on it and seated properly, the dragon snapped up to fly high in the air.

A big smile appeared on my lips without my knowledge. For the first time, I felt like a free bird, with no pack or duties. It was a feeling like I was living my own life finally. A few moments had passed since I got on its back. The air passed throw my face, messing with my hair.

However, my happiness didn't last long. Not long after I was in the sky, another snarl came from our back. As I turned around to see, I gasped hard in fear to meet a pair of firing eyes. It wasn't the two dragons that I had seen in the sky. The dragon looked killing and different, emitting an aura of murderous intent. Once it came under the moonlight, I finally saw the color.

A Black Dragon? The warrior one of the King? Did the dragon king want me to kill in the sky?
