Chapter 2 - Taken Away

LUNA:

I stood my ground, not shaking, as the dragon man walked up to me and stopped in front of me.

I could see my people visibly shaking, afraid of what this dark man wanted to do to me.

"Hmm," he hummed as he walked around me, and I did not shake, afraid, waiting for him to open his mouth and burn me to ashes, as he was a dragon.

"Strip!" he commanded, and I froze.

"What?" I asked, meeting his red eyes. He stopped in front of me, and I could still see the surprised looks of disbelief on the faces of his other four dragons, who had all shapeshifted to look like us humans and were surprised to hear I was a woman.

"You heard me correctly. Now strip!" he commanded again, and my blood boiled with rage as I saw the looks of refusal etched on my people's faces.

"Don't think I have time to waste here with you. You actually sliced the throat of a royal dragon guard. How powerful are you? So I need to confirm if you are truly woman or man, so I can decide your punishment here and now before taking you to our king."

"Hmm," I hummed.

"Okay," I agreed, and the dragon man smiled as I saw his red eyes light up like coals.

"Go on," he ordered as he stepped back, and I took up the courage to start stripping.

Taking off my shield first and my warrior garment next, I saw their eyes almost pop out of their sockets as they all became surprised that I was truly a woman—a pretty, hot woman at that.

I saw the dragon man's eyes burn redder, and he licked his hot lips, seeing how huge my boobs was. He approached me, but I was unshakeable. Even as a woman with natural endowments, I was still brutal and ruthless.

When he attempted to touch my bréasts, forgetting I was still holding my sword, I sliced off his hand, making him scream, "How dare you?!" But he did not slap me or burn me; he waved his other hand at his four men, telling them not to interfere.

I thought he would kill me, as I had sliced his hand off completely, but to my shock, he picked up his right hand from the ground—from the elbow length—and fixed it back onto his arm, where it magically healed.

"I see you are a princess. How interesting that the last princess of Sunfield has been disguising herself as a man all this time. You cannot kill me, princess. I am the king's brother and of royal dragon blood—Aaron Diego!" He smirked, and I felt dread run down my spine, but I could not speak as I was still in shock at how he knew I was a princess.

He walked quickly to me, took my golden sword forcefully, carried me up—not minding I was bare and without clothes—and took me away while I struggled on his strong shoulder to get off.

"Put me down!" I screamed as I finally fell to the soil, but he transformed, picked me up with his leg, and flew away with me, the rest of the dragons following to take me to their dragon king.

The man said he was the dragon king's brother, and I kept struggling to break free from his tight hold, not minding if I fell into the river. I saw the large ocean beneath us as he flew past, and I would have preferred to be eaten by sharks rather than a dragon king.

Arriving at their dragon kingdom, I was amazed that they had houses like us humans—beautiful houses, not huts or tents like the few we had created for shelter, but towering houses, while we were running away.

I had been captured at night, so before we got to their dragon city, it was already day and sunny, and many of those dragons started coming out of their houses to peer at us.

Aaron flew faster than the other four, and arriving at a towering building, he landed on his feet. I became ashamed as I saw the eyes of all the people gathered and staring at me—I was bare.

"Your majesty!" Aaron said with a bright smile on his face as I cursed under my breath, without any clothes.

I stared at the frontage of the castle, trying to use my hands to cover my bréasts, but they were too big, and I became utterly embarrassed.

I saw a tall man step out from the towering building, and his eyes fixed on me as our eyes met. He gulped and looked at a guard with gray hair. I saw the gray-haired man snap his fingers, and two dragon women walked out to meet me.

I could not tell if they were humans or dragons, as the women looked cute with brown skin, but they thankfully brought me wrappers. They were not smiling as they dragged me away after wrapping me like bread.

I stared back at the tall dragon man who dripped with authority—he had long golden hair—and my golden eyes narrowed at him with anger, meeting his sharp blue eyes again as I saw Aaron walk up to meet him.

"Face where you are going!" the two strong-armed women commanded as they dragged me roughly, and I knew escaping from them would not be easy.

I hoped to see my sisters, and my mind ran through various thoughts. What had they done with my elder sisters?

What did they want from me, and where were they taking me?

They followed another side of the mansion and took me upstairs. I thought they were taking me to the dungeon or prison, but instead they took me upstairs with them as we climbed the flight of stairs, and my mind grew confused about what they really wanted to use me for.

Did they want to cook me? "No!" I screamed.

"Let me go!" I fought the two strong women, surprising them as I stepped hard on their feet and somersaulted backward, not minding if my wrapper loosened. I was not ready to be cooked yet.

"What has come over you? Do you think you can escape from us, or that we are humans?!" They cursed after me as I ran away, and they chased me. I ran through another door, not minding which side of the mansion I had gone into.

I needed to hide from them; and escaping from the towering building was my only solution.

Luckily, there were not many guards in the house, and I wondered who the gray-haired man and the golden-haired man were.

Which of them was the dragon king?

None of that mattered; hiding was the only thing I needed to do to plan my escape. As I approached a tall door, I quickly pushed it open and went in, staring in horror at the beautiful golden bedroom I had just stepped into.

These dragons were rich. How?

I froze as I stared at the king-sized bed—it was not wood but gold. Everywhere in the mansion exuded of gold, and I assumed it was probably the golden-haired man's bedroom that I had stepped into.

"Damn it!" I cursed, and I immediately heard footsteps behind me. Not knowing what to do, I ran into his wardrobe and hid in the large wardrobe, ensuring the clothes would cover me.

I needed an explanation for how these dragons were rich and had so much wealth while we were poor and hiding in shadows.

"Your majesty!" I heard the two women run up to the footsteps that stopped, recognizing their voices.

"What's it?" The man replied to them, but I froze as his cold voice made me shiver inside the wardrobe.

"Your majesty, the new woman has run away, and she is hiding somewhere around here."

"Hmm," I heard the man hum, and then silence. Later, I heard the room door shut closed.

I did not know if the man had left or was still around, as I could not see out through the wardrobe door. But I was sweating, and I kept wondering what was going on between them.
