Mated to the Dragon King

Chapter 2

Lou

I found my mate. I couldn't f*****g believe she had been kidnapped months ago by a group of hunters. She was not a dragon like myself but a fairy. We were planning our wedding and arranging the guest list when she ventured off into human territory to hand out invitations to the wolf packs that watched over our gates, but never returned.

My kingdom was heartbroken when they found out their future queen had gone missing. It wasn't until I got word that a band of hunters managed to slip through the guards and snatch my Fae out of the open like she was some sort of wild game.

When we managed to pick up the trail of these hunters I planned on doing everything I could to make their lives miserable before feeding them to the hatchlings.

I cried when I found my baby girl chained up in that rotting cell, but I had to keep my composure. Deep down inside I wanted to tear that ship and everyone aboard it into pieces. Fae's skin was pale and full of gashes, bruises, old cuts and new wounds. Even her eyes were swollen shut and her hair was disheveled.

"Let's get you out of here." I whispered down to her and shifted into my dragon form. Deep blue scales covered my body and six large wings sprouted from my back. I shook my black feathered headdress and hissed as my large paws gently closed around her to protect her from the elements as I took off into the sky.

From dusk until dawn I flew since my territory was on the other side of the world compared to where I found her.

We will murder that piece of meat for what he did to mate. Tan, my Dragon spirit roared in our heads.

Indeed we will, but first we must tend to her. She doesn't recognize us. I replied.

She will remember once she gets better. My Fae will remember me.

I know buddy, I know.

Hours later I descended from the clouds to the main gate of our territory. The pack of wolves that were supposed to be guarding it were nowhere to be found. I huffed, shook my head and made my way to the portal to my world.

I was immediately greeted by my third in charge Reggie. "My king, did you find her? Is she with you?" He asked in a loud tone.

Raising a brow at him I glanced down at my still closed paw and then back at him. "What do you think?"

He grinned from ear to ear and bowed his head. "I'll make the announcement that the future queen is back!"

I snapped my jaw at him. "Quiet down. She has no memory of what's happened over the last couple of months and she's gravely injured. Get the royal doctor and make sure he's got a room ready for her."

My mother's figure appeared in the distance, she held her gown as she rushed across the field toward me. Panic painted over her features.

I slowly made my way toward her since I was using three legs rather than all four, and laid my paw down in front of her once we had closed the distance. "Do not move fast and do not raise your voice." I told her.

My mother gave me a nod in understanding before I opened my paw, revealing Fae's disturbing appearance to her.

She gasped, bringing her hands to her mouth and chest. "Oh my goddess what did they do?" She whispered.

"I don't know but she needs to be taken to the infirmary. Her wounds haven't healed and she doesn't remember anything." I replied, holding in my anger.

My mother scooped Fae out of my paw and opened her iridescent fairy wings and took off toward the hospital without hesitation.

I took off toward the main palace to grab a change of clothes before heading back to my love.

On my way across the field, I saw my brother David dragging the group of hunters toward the dungeons and had to hold Tan back from ripping them apart right then and there.

Calm down buddy, we will get the chance to murder them after we give them back what they did to our mate.

We will give them back everything… tenfold. He roared.

I couldn't help but nod my head in agreement. "Yeah, that sounds about right."

Once I reached the hospital, the nurse at the front desk just pointed down the hallway. I huffed at her and turned the corner only to hear low whimpering and cries. I ran into the room and pushed the door right open without knocking. I was immediately hit with sadness as I watched Fae shake in the hospital bed.

My mother turned to me and shook her head as she exited the room. The doctor pointed to the seat beside the bed and I planted my ass right into it and gently grabbed my mate's hand.

"My lord, I can't even begin to tell you…"

"Then answer me this. Will she be okay? Will her healing abilities kick in and fix this?"

"They should, but I'm not one hundred percent certain. She's lost a lot of blood and she doesn't even remember who I am."

"What have you found out so far about the extent of her injuries?"

"I don't know exactly what they hit her with to cause the majority of her wounds, but the internal injuries and the blunt force trauma to her body were definitely done by hand. Whoever did this hit her with punches and kicks. She does have scarring around her inner thighs and even damage to her reproductive system."

"Are you telling me… they…" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "They… f*****g raped… my mate?" I clenched my fist and looked up at the doctor.

He swallowed hard. "My lord. Please understand this is just my initial exam. I did not go any further than–"

I pushed myself out of the chair and grabbed him by his white coat. "You're telling me these bastards violated my mate. She was a f*****g virgin for f**k's sake."

He remained cool and calm when he addressed me. "My lord, I'm sorry but that's what happened. You know I wouldn't keep any of that information from you. The more you know means the more you're able to do back to them as they did her. Do what you will with this information, but I cannot be certain that she will be able to bear you any hatchlings in the future."

I released the doctor's coat and plopped back onto the chair. "We will worry about that when the time comes. But you bet your ass I will get revenge."

"For now, I've given her some pain medication and something to help her sleep. You need to focus on keeping her stress down or she will have issues recovering. And as for you, no mating for a month or even until she's ready. After what she's been through, I doubt she's willing to do anything. She should be good to go to the palace in a few days."

I scoffed and glanced back down at Fae's sleeping form. She was at peace. "A few days gives me enough time to issue some f*****g beat downs."

"Don't forget, she's gonna need you once she wakes up."

"I f*****g won't. She's never leaving my f*****g side again."

I rose from the chair and stormed out of the hospital room and straight for the dungeons in seething anger.

I stepped outside and let out a low growl after sensing the presence of another. "Who's here?" I called out.

What seemed to be just a plot of grass in front of me slowly uncloaked itself with a few shakes. The feathers on this dragon's headdress shook and its yellow eyes snapped open.

I sighed and placed my hands on my hips. "Father. I'm going to assume you heard the news?"

He raised his head as his obsidian scales uncloaked. "What happened to my daughter-in-law?" He growled.

I jutted my head in the direction of the dungeons. "Would you like to join me while I… ask?" I replied, cracking my knuckles.

My father's pupils turned into slits. "What? They're here?" He growled.

I wiggled my eyebrows and shot him an evil grin. "You think I'd let them die easily? f**k that. They raped my mate. So… what do you say? Care to… even out the playing field?"

My father's dragon let out a low guttural growl in agreement. "Lets."

My father and I made our way to the dungeon. He shifted back to his human form and didn't have a care in the world that he was strutting alongside me in his birthday suit.

"How bad was the damage, Lou?"

I stopped at the entrance to the dungeon and turned to face him. My father and I could pass as twins at this point, but his salt and pepper hair, and the thicker facial hair.

"Gavin… you don't understand how badly I would like to rip that man's head off of his shoulders and feed it to the wolves. I won't be able to have an heir." I lowered my gaze as sorrow pushed its way into my chest. "Let's go show them what dragons are made of."

Gavin, my father, clasped my shoulder and rolled his tongue on the inside of his cheek. "Let's show them who's superior." He replied and headed into the dungeons.

I followed close behind.

The screams of the hostages echoed down the corridor and David's voice could be heard as he questioned them.

"What the f**k did you think was going to happen when you kidnapped this woman? This one in particular?" He shouted.

"We didn't know who she was! We were given instructions and a picture…" a voice replied.

I furrowed my brow and picked up the pace and my father took off into another room.

"David, what did that piece of s**t say?" I roared when I entered the room.

"That he was given instructions. Now my next question… were you supposed to put your hands on her and rough her up or was that something you lousy excuse for men decided to do?"

Just by the smirk on his face, this piece of s**t gave me told me that what they did was intentional.

I shot my glare toward David and rolled my tongue against my bottom lip. "Since you can't tell your head from your ass… I'll be the one to show you."

Between David, my men, my father, and myself, we tortured these hostages even after they begged us for death. Between the punching bag punishments to extreme sodomy with various items. I kept the captain and two others alive but the rest of them met their fates when I released the older hatchlings who had a taste for blood.

I licked the blood off of my lips and turned to the captain whose lifeless body hung against his restraints. But I did leave a surprise for him. It was up his ass. He doesn't have much time before it goes off. "You have until my mate wakes up to give me a name. If not, you're going to wish you were never born." I chuckled before I turned and walked out of the dungeons.
