Breeding for the King

The Discovery

King Draco’s POV

She stared at me in surprise as I said those words.

“But I want to sleep,” she muttered, and I smiled taking her hands in mine before saying,

“Come with me,” She grunted in protest but I wasn’t having it. The door clicked shut and she stood away from me the minute it did.

“What are you doing? And, why aren’t your guards here?” she uttered, staring at me with anxiousness in her eyes.

Ignoring her words, I moved my hands to her hair touching the silky red length. “I missed this,”

She moved away from me, clearing her voice.

“I-I have to go back,” she said, heading for her room but I held her back with a smile.

“This is an imperial order from the King, come with me,” I said, chin up and walking ahead. She sighed behind me, before walking up to me.

“Are you quite mad?” walking through the hallways, she asked. “Why show up by this time of the night knowing I have to rest?”

“You will do your desires, Frida. Not just in your quarters. You’ll be required to sleep with me, when you’re Queen. Get used to it now,” I said.

“Huh?!” she exclaimed stopping on spot and positioning herself in front of me which brought me to a halt.

“Please don’t let me sleep with you, I’ll repay your kindness with all my life,”

I arched a brow once more, wondering why she was hesitant. In my discovery of her being a loose woman, I thought she had no problem with these things. Moreover, I had no intents on actually sleeping with her. The fact that she was hesitant, made me wonder…

Did I judge her wrongly?

“Only do that when I’m Queen,” she added, taking a loose strand of her red hair and placing it behind her ears.

This made me confirm once more, that I didn’t.

“Whatever, let’s go now,” I said pulling her along as we headed to my chambers. I pushed the door open, walking in with her following me.

Since the room was still dark, I walked to turn on the lights, only to hear someone hitting the wall. I looked back with my vampire sight only to see it was her. Frida.

She had fallen to the floor, and had her hands protectively around her head as she whispered,

“Help me,”

“Someone, help me,”

“Don’t come near me…”

“Please stay far from me,”

“Frida?” I let out, wondering what was going on.

It was just like that day on the ship. I recall her saying something about not liking darkness. Was it what was affecting her?

But her room had been dark earlier. I don’t recall her reacting to it. I wondered if it had to do with it being a controlled condition.

I walked towards her, with these thoughts bending down at her in my overcoat. She had held a stuffed toy back then. But it wasn’t here, my men distributed her stuff around themselves.

This is because they were used to being thieves from our expenditures. This was my fault. I should have listened to her when she asked for the stuffed toy.

With this thought, I took her hands in mine, pressing them softly. Still thinking of what to do, I searched and wondered only to recall she said some words on the ship.

What were they? I asked myself, watching her tremble under me. Closing my eyes, I tried to make out the exact words she said to herself on the ship as I held her.

“He’s gone now.” I attempted.

“He would not come to you, ever. You won’t meet him again, just believe, Frida. It would never happen again.”

Even if I didn’t know what they meant, I repeated the words, holding her tightly. Staring at me with a childlike glance, and worry laced in her eyes she stopped trembling. Instead, she stared at me.

“I’ll go turn on the lights now,”

“No,”

“I won’t be long, I promise,”

“Please, no… don’t leave,” she said.

“I’m not leaving,” I told her adding, “I just want to turn the lights on so you feel comfortable,”

“Pinky?”

“Yes, I promise,” and it sounded like a promise to myself. I stared at her extended hands with my vampire sight, locating her pinky before connecting mine to hers. I commenced standing up, turning the lights on.

I walked back to her and just as I did, she stared at me blankly with no expression. She seemed a bit lost, which I figured was my fault.

I brought her here, to darkness, knowing I was a bigger darkness myself. And this knowledge made me know that somewhere along the line I had to let her go.

To not taint her innocence. Or lead her on. I tried communicating with her but she won’t say anything.

It seemed like she was still shocked, so, I swooped her into my arms in a bridal style, walking to the bed.

Dropping her on it, I put the cover cloth around her. About to go to sleep on the chair, she held me in place saying, “Don’t go,”

“Princess, you don’t know what I breed in me. If I were you, I would let me leave,” I muttered in truth.

Enough. I had to stop leading her on, if I knew how this was going to end. And then she trembled once more, which made me, panic.

“D-Did I do something bad? I’m sorry if I hurt you,”

I stammered, letting out. “Okay, how about this, I’ll stay until you’re fine. Will you stop crying now?”

I should be careful with her, especially after knowing she was still in trauma.

With these thoughts, I kicked off my shoes removing my overcoat placing it on the hanger. I got on the bed with her, wrapping my hands around her waist only to hear her purr in comfort.

My vampire reacted once more, almost stirring my witcher side. It made me wonder why he liked her.

In my previous discovery, there was something unique about her.

What was it?

Closing my eyes I searched, looking for hints only to discover from him that she was ours. My mate.

…

By the time morning came, I realized my bed was empty. I stood up immediately searching my bathroom and the closet but she wasn’t there.

I wore my clothes and shoes hurriedly opening my door ajar. “Y-Your Majesty!” one of my escorts, said. “Is all well?”

“There was a girl with me, where is she?”

“Oh, Lady Frida, she left hours ago for practice. Should we summon another girl, your Majesty?” he let out.

I ignored him instantly walking towards the training fields to see her. “Your Highness, wait!” my escorts let out coming after me.

I only hurried my footsteps more. The minute I got to the training grounds, I saw her holding a wooden stick. She was training with a girl and skillfully handled the stick. It made me smile, staying on spot with my chin up. A mate. The Goddess was surely tricky in her ways because I didn’t see this one coming.

Now that I knew, was it better to make things fast? Or wait till I was sure she wouldn’t only want power? Because right now, her intentions were quite straightforward.

“Your Majesty, do you want one of the girls?” my escort asked making me shake my head.

“No, I only came here to see something,” I said, knowing I had to be careful.

Making my way to the opposite direction, I looked at her then back at my escort saying,

“We can go now,”
