3; Hiding In His Wardrobe

#Mikel Diego POV;

I scented the beautiful human and I knew she had run into my bedroom, but how come? How did she escape Abigail and Nana's clutches?

I closed the door first, knowing she wouldn't be able to escape nor fly out the window, as I doubted she could fly, and I had to dismiss them to avoid raising panic around the whole Palace. 

I was the dragon king, but my mother, Queen Ama, and sister, Lucy were around, and they hadn't seen her except for my chosen mate, Zuri, who was with me when Aaron arrived with her.

Zuri's eyes had burned with disgust as the human was pretty, and worse, Aaron brought her náked without her clothes. How come?

I had felt aroused seeing how sexy and curvy her waist was. I was a dragon king and 540 years old, but since I was conceived and birthed, I hadn't seen a pretty human female like her.

We didn't grow older in our kingdom, but we abducted the human females to use them for crossbreeding so as to maintain balance in our system, as the female dragons hardly birthed many baby dragons. They were jealous and possessive of us and hated the idea of us taking the human females away from their parents' houses and using them for breeding purposes, but we had no other option.

Since I accepted Zuri as my mate, that was 300 years ago when I came of age and before I lost my father.

Zuri hadn't yet conceived for me since then and up till now, and I didn't know why.

Zuri refused to leave, and worse was she didn't support me with the idea of taking a second mate.

I knew Zuri was burning with rage seeing me staring at the pretty human with lust, as Aaron clearly triggered me on, knowing she was cute and purposely brought her without clothes.

She possessed a strong personality, and I also had a lot of questions to ask Aaron. He needed to explain to me where and how he chose to bring her unclad, having a multitude of people gathering in front of our open magnificent palace and staring at her.

I'm sure many of them would soon come to purchase her, as we sold any new human captured to become a mate to any dragon family that wanted them.

"King Mikel, we need to talk!" Zuri's loud voice echoed in the passage after I had dismissed Abigail and Nana, and I walked up to meet her so as to avoid her from stepping into my room.

"Talk about what, Zuri? I will see Aaron later and find out why he chose to bring the human without her clothes on. I'm sure it wasn't intentional," I said to Zuri calmly, but she was raging like she wanted to let out fire and burn the human female to death.

Some of the human females had been killed by some jealous female dragons, and I just hoped I could protect this pretty stubborn human female from my mother, sister, and more likely Zuri, as Aaron isn't a problem.

Aaron has his own mate, Aspen, and she had given birth to two daughters for Aaron, Lily and Lola, as they were twins, and Aspen was pregnant again, and we're hoping it to be a male dragon so that I could rest, knowing that the male child of Aaron would be my successor to the throne to continue ruling over our kingdom.

"King Mikel, I don't want that human to be kept in this castle with us. Let her be sent away to wherever she came from. I don't need her around here," Zuri complained bitterly, and I continued walking away through the passage so that Zuri wouldn't scent the delicious human scent, and we met with Aaron by the way.

Aaron indeed knew how to show up when I'm in distress, and he asked, "What's going on here? Zuri, you know our tradition, or do you want to wipe out our entire clan? You're unable to birth a son or daughter for my brother, and you're worse, sending away all the pretty females that we have brought. Are you a witch, Zuri?!"

"Enough, Aaron! Let her be," Mother interrupted as she walked up with Lucy to meet us.

"Mikel, Aaron, where's the new female that was brought? I heard she was brought into this palace without clothes on?" Mother asked, as she peered at me.

"Mom, I need to be left alone. Abigail and Nana are dressing her up and preparing her to be sold tonight." I lied, as the pretty one wasn't going anywhere.

I was the king, and whatever decision I made was final. I was soft at heart, but that didn't mean I would sit back and watch this pretty human sold to a male in my clan, when I'm still unable to have a child of my own.

It seems the gods of our lands have chosen to bless me not just with any human, but with a pretty human at that, and I smiled.

"Hmm... It's alright. Come, Zuri, let's go. Besides, you don't need to worry about the lady. She will be sold this night," Mother told Zuri as she walked up to meet Zuri and pulled Zuri by her right arm to follow her, while Lucy only stared at me and Aaron in silence, as she had her red eyes on me.

Lucy had stubbornly refused to leave the palace because she didn't want to lose her princess title. Well, luckily for her, we didn't grow old and still maintained our youthful skin even as our age kept growing up; we remained the same, year after year, except for the humans. As I heard some dragons had lost their human mates, but this pretty one wasn't going anywhere.

I made up my mind to turn her into a dragon, as only I, Aaron, and my sister had the powers to do that, being born of ancestral royal dragon blood.

Although we didn't tell the other dragons about it, so they might not be aware of the fact of turning a human into a dragon, but I was ready to try that on that pretty one. I patiently wanted to dismiss all of them away, to shut the passage door and be left alone with the human female while waiting for the night to fall, so she could be sold.

Although it wasn't auction season, but as Aaron had brought her without clothes, a lot of dragon men had seen her unclad, and how endowed she was. So, I'm sure they would be ready to drop millions of gold to have her even for a night, but I wouldn't let that happen.

"Brother... How do you see her?" Aaron turned to face me, and I breathed out in relief.

"She's beautiful. Where did you bring her from? She looks like the other princesses that have been sold," I said.

"Yes, brother. I think so, but she's strong and ruthless. She was the one who killed those two guards we sent to abduct the human females and bring them to the palace," Aaron said.

"How interesting. But I seem to like her, and that would be a bit of a problem, as she escaped from Abigail and Nana's clutches, and she's in my chamber now," I told Aaron, and his jaw dropped.

"What! That's even the best idea, because I purposely brought her for you. I could have killed her, as she disguised as a man, but when I saw her burning yellow eyes that I knew only the royal family of Sunfield had, I perceived her scent and immediately knew she was of royal blood, but I was confused, seeing her dressed as a man. She's tough, brother, though she looks small, but you have to be careful with her as she wouldn't hesitate to cut off your rod."

Aaron smirked and showed me his arm that was still healing, and I asked, "She did this?"

"Yes. She's a perfect sword-mistress, and I'm sure she would want to avenge her late family and sisters' dismissal."

"Hmm..." I hummed.
