Alpha Dragon Chapter 32
RoxanneI had everything planned perfectly. Climbing the village tower was easy. Listening to my parents calling out for me-gut-wrenching. I hardened my heart against their pleas because I knew I had to fulfill my destiny.I hid beneath the shadowed eaves of the tower and watched as the brides lined up to await their fate. They couldn't help themselves. All the diatribe fed to us from birth made them think they played a special role in village life. They could not see the larger picture. Their life mattered for something bigger than a sacrifice they have no control over. I alone was not blind to the injustice of it all. I would sacrifice my life for theirs by killing the dragon.I saw him approach and gave pause at his regal beauty. My mother had told me of their allure, so I thought I was immune to what came toward us. I was wrong, and for just a moment, I wondered if I could do it. My entire body shook with apprehension and I gripped the blade tighter. I would never back away from m
Alpha Dragon Chapter 33
Laryn"Foolish woman," I mutter as I fly up to the perch that overlooks the inside of my tower. New brides always make things difficult. This one believes she is some type of warrior woman with her acrobatic moves. My inner eyelid barely closed before her foot connected. Not that her puny blow would cause harm.Hmm. At least she's entertaining and not wailing at the top of her lungs like most brides.She doesn't actually stink. I said that so maybe she'll relax in a bath and accept her fate. I know the first mating for a bride is difficult. I shake my great head in annoyance as I remember Maleah's gentle reprimand. Maleah, my last bride, hated me for years for what I did to her on the day of her claiming. She made me promise I would woo my future bride first. Just the thought of Maleah made my heart ache. I suddenly closed down the part of me that remembered her. Wooing is not something a magnificent creature like me will ever do. It's best to get the deed over with and get on with th

LarynAshrac almost changes my mind. And, "Give her time," are the nearly forgotten whispered words from my last bride. "She will love you sooner and you will have more years to enjoy one another."I shake my head, which sends water flying from my freshly washed hair. The dragon who held and loved sweet and innocent Maleah no longer exists. Twenty-five years of loneliness have hardened all feelings of love. If I don't love my new bride, it will hurt less when she dies. I have a plan to keep love from happening. Sarn is a fool and his grief for his deceased bride, Calista, a waste of his time. I vow to hold my emotions back and take from my bride only what I need to stay sexually satisfied. Nothing more. She will learn quickly and bow to my iron will before the sun goes down this day.I've set up the tower room to hold her. It will keep her away from the inner castle and from my sight as much as possible. I will take her out into the sunlight occasionally for her health. That is all. M
Alpha Dragon Chapter 35
Roxanne"And he fought my father, and they fell from the sky, and they made the ground thunder, and they...""That's enough, Ashrac," Acasia ruffles his hair and gives his shoulder a squeeze. "Roxanne doesn't know our ways and you frighten her with talk of fighting."Frighten? Who me? The last thing I'm afraid of is two warring dragons. If I'm lucky, neither will walk away unscathed. Acasia and Ashrac glance my way and I'm not sure of the response I should give. No response gets me past the awkwardness of the moment. Acasia is now in human form and I have so many questions."We must return her, Mother. Uncle Laryn says he will not scare her again. She is his bride and he is quite angry that she left him."Wow. Dragon children are very forgetful. "May we keep her, Mother? May we please? She is the finest treasure," were his exact words."I will not return to that bully," I utter with angry conviction."Ash, go find your father so Roxanne and I may speak privately." She pats his bottom
Alpha Dragon Chapter 36
RoxanneI'm standing in front of the mirror, washing my face, and fuming. He actually said fucking! I don't care that his blue eyes are incredible. Or give me a mallet and I can play a tune on the muscles of his belly. The girth of his biceps is larger than my waist. And his face is more than pleasing. I may need to kill him just because he is too good and it's hard to tear my eyes away from him.Fucking, really?!I broke a chair over his head and I'm the one with the wound. It's because there is nothing inside his skull but rocks. No, that's an insult to rocks. Worms, that's better. They've eaten through the brains he might have been born with and passed them through their system as compost. Mushy... smelly... compost.I'm beyond furious. My virginity is a very sore subject. If we are the dragon's chosen bride and it's discovered we are not a virgin, the lives of our entire family are forfeited. Along with the lives of the man who took a bride's virginity and his family too. No villa
Alpha Dragon Chapter 37
RoxanneIt surprises me when he laughs. He walks to the table and uses a cloth from his meal to clean himself. His gaze remains steady on mine the entire time. He hasn't said a word for a few minutes and I'm suddenly beyond nervous. He picks up the remaining chair and I close my eyes expecting it to land on my head. I hear the legs of the chair settle against the floor and dare to peek. I watch him sit down on the mattress."Come here and sit in the chair."It's a command. Everything in me rebels at the dictate but what choice do I truly have? I drag my feet closer. He tips his head to the chair when I take too long. I sit.His voice is soft, entirely too soft, and it makes his words more ominous. "You should not have struck me.""I'm sorry?" I squeak. I really expected instant retaliation and his delayed response has my nerves completely unraveling. He should just have hit me over the head with the chair. I've struck him twice now and he's yet to punish me... or kill me. Acasia told
Alpha Dragon Chapter 38
LarynShe's priceless.I should be angry that she thinks she will dictate about fucking, but I'm not. There is nothing better than a good game of shark and little fish. I know she's a virgin. All the brides are virgins. She's also afraid. Unlike my former brides, she hides it behind bravado. I like that. I like her.I've seduced brides many times. Once they settle, their frightened mouse persona fades and their true female nature shows. They become cross at some small transgression and I seduce them from their sour mood. I enjoy that game and I always win.It only makes it more thrilling this time because my new bride is different. She doesn't wail and beg. She doesn't use tears to dissuade me from my course. She uses a chair and even her small fist. She's a warrior and this should be fun.What isn't fun is the stiff burden of my cock. I head to my chambers and mentally send a message to my manservant. "Deliver a tray of fruit and cheese to my bride. Take care that she doesn't kill yo
Alpha Dragon Chapter 39
RoxanneHis manservant doesn't take me to the weapons chamber, the dragon does. First though, the dragon delivers clothing. He tells me to put them on and be ready in an hour. It gives my food time to settle and I also have an opportunity to bathe.The clothes are a problem. They're made of beautiful, brown pliable leather. Soft fur lines the outer seams. The entire outfit, though incredible, is obscene. There's nothing to it. I'm accustomed to heavy skirts that I had to loop through my belt so they remained out of my way while I hunted and trained. Nothing on this outfit will be in the way. More skin shows than even the bride gown displayed.I dress in the clothes out of curiosity. Nothing so fine had ever touched me. The garment has a wrap-around flap in the front and the back buckles at my hips. My legs have the freedom to move in all directions. It barely covers my upper thighs and my bottom. When I move, the material separates and my hips show through the slits. The top piece cov
