Alicia, The Dragon slayer

Betrayal

Nicklaus POV

           I always dreamed about finding my mate. I imagined her as a tall strong dragon who will stand by my side as I rule over the kingdom of darkness. I got the exact opposite of that wish though. I got a tiny little human who my family will kill before she takes her first breathe in the kingdom of darkness. Not like I'm complaining though she's beautiful. I am the first son of my father and the next ruler of the kingdom and I am also the last to find a mate. My dad has been at my neck to get one ever since he started getting a bit old. 

                    My brother already has a mate and he's even engaged to her while I was still here with nothing. My dad even pressured me to marry Silver the Elite. Silver is an elite which is one of the highest, most trained, most educated and most brutal form of dragons in the entire kingdom. In the kingdom of darkness dragons are the superior races and they are only four types.

    Royalty: They are the absolute best of the best. Superior to all beneath none (That's the dragon motto) . They are the fastest, strongest dragons in the world. They are also few of them. I belong here though with my dad and my bro.

    Elites: They are the most trained dragon force on earth. They are warriors in every way imaginable. They hate to be brought down and are often proud and love to show how superior they are to others. They are directly beneath the Royalty dragons. They are one of the most dominant group ever known.

 Middle class: This is where most dragons fall into. The middle class are dragons with no high position in the palace or anywhere in the kingdom. They are servants whose main job is to please the king. They are normally servants, pages, maids etc. They still love to show dominance though.

Lower class: They are like the omegas of the dragon lands. They are low in everything. The slaves who are normally beaten for fun. They are pushed about by everyone and they normally end their lives by themselves.

          A person is normally born into a group but they can also work their way to the top by doing good deeds or challenging a higher dragon to a fight. But its almost impossible to beat such a dragon because the higher group your in the more strength you have. Thats why literally no one has the guts to challenge a elite. 

               Silver is a beautiful woman. I always found her attractive. But I naturally don't like elites especially female elites. Female elites are the mist beautify specie of dragon and boy did they take notice of that fact. Silver wore her beauty like a mask. She was always so prod and poised. She looked down on literally anything and she will look for any opportunity to showcase her dominance of her race. I knew it wasn't all her fault though its natural for her race to be proud. But still it made me annoyed sometimes.

                 She was a great fighter and therefore a great leader. What more do I want beautiful, proper, an elite, and a strong fighter too. She was the complete package and plus if I marry her she officially becomes a royal too. That's the thing about dragon species the moment you marry your partner you become part of their group. Like if a female elite marry a male middle class. The name becomes an instant elite. Though that would never happen because elites take way too much pride in their race to marry a lower race. 

          But if a royal marries any of the group the person instantly becomes royal too. And I knew it was always silver's dream to be royal and beneath none. My dad absolutely adored silver though. So much I'm tempted to ask him to just marry her himself. He praised the ground she walked on and always talked about what a great queen she would make

            I don't know how I'm going to tell him I don't love her and I just found my human mate. Surely if he doesn't kill her Silver will. I landed gracefully on the ground as the guards bowed as I passed. I just have to keep this secret from my father and brother and most especially silver. 

      I greeted my dad with a usual bow as I found in the study with... Predictably silver.

             Ohhh Geez

    Silver walked straight up to me with her 5 inch stilettos clicking with each step. She gave her most believable bow but I could see the undoubtedly resentment in her eyes. It wasn't directed at me actually but I knew she absolutely hated bowing to anyone. It was by law to bow or curtsey to a higher race and she knew she can't do anything about it. She hated submissiveness.

          She got up quickly and gave me a passionate hug. I hugged her back of course first because I care about her and secondly because I prefer my hands still attached to their sockets.

    She tried to make our lips meet but I quickly and stylishly turned away. Before I would have let her but after finding my mate even this hug fills like cheating. I could see the brief flash of hurt in her eyes but I don't give a s**t.

         "Hello Nicklaus. How was your walk in the forest. Did you find any of those pesky pathetic humans" She asked.

     My dad immediately looked up to here my answer and my throat got stuck. I'm a royal for crying out loud lying can't be this hard.

    "Umm yes I did. But I killed the pathetic little b***h" I responded.

          Silver smirk seemed to grow even wider. So did my dads.

   "Now that's very good. Pretty soon we would get rid of those things" Silver confirmed.

   "Yes soon indeed. Our experiments are confirming the bomb would be ready soon" Dad said.

      My heart took a leap. "What bomb?"

  "Oh didn't I tell you. I'm planning to get rid of those things one and for all. We would choose a date and go to the outlands pretending we want to invite them to our land and then we would plant the bomb. Once it blows up every human on that land will be dead. And we would be fine because the bomb doesn't hurt Dragons" My dad said.

     I nearly screamed. Kill every human. Alicia is a human and my mate. I only just met her but if she dies I can't take it.

    "Why so silent love" Silver asked

  "Nothing I'm just thinking do we really need to kill them. They are already dead living in the outlands. Isn't it better to see them suffer" I asked.

        My dad eyes narrowed . "No they must die. They are getting stronger. They need to die now. Especially that Alicia the dragon slayer girl. I want to slit her throat myself" Dad yelled.

          Silver nkdded in agreement while I screamed on the inside. If our relationship was forbidden before now its down right impossible.
