Chapter 3

Author: Hundred Years
A chill crept over my scalp. Good Lord, where exactly had I gone wrong to make it think something like that?

I explained as patiently as I could.

"Onyx, I'm your master. A master is a master, not a mate."

He stared at me. To my surprise, I caught a flicker of anger in its eyes. Its head crept closer and closer, and it looked distinctly displeased.

"You've always slept with me, and you even give me baths. Now you're saying I'm not your mate just like that?"

It kept edging toward my ear until all I could do was lean back.

"Master, you're not trying to avoid taking responsibility for me, are you?"

For some reason, although Onyx had always seemed gentle and adorable, I now sensed something in him that left no room for argument. Then I suddenly remembered what he had said earlier about being an emerald dragon.

I turned my head, met his gaze, and looked it over carefully from head to tail.

An emerald dragon. It looked exactly like the emerald dragons described in storybooks, and I never noticed the whole time.

I froze, and then it hit me. No wonder that old man said any babies it sired would sell for a fortune.

Everything I thought I knew about the world seemed to fall apart. Fortunately, I had always been good at adapting. I accepted the new reality surprisingly quickly. Even so, he was still a dragon. What was I supposed to do with that? Whoever heard of a beast taking a human as its mate?

I quickly explained.

"That's only because you're still little. Besides, how old are you, anyway? You're not even half the size of the dragons I've seen in books. You're still a kid, so forget all this mate nonsense."

Onyx looked displeased.

"I just turned 1,000 today. I'm already an adult."

I nearly fell off the bed when I heard that.

It went on. "Besides, breeding is very hard for us dragons. So if you want children someday, we'll need to prepare for a very long time. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."

I felt more dead than alive.

I had no desire to keep arguing. All I knew was that Onyx was no ordinary pet, he could not make me rich, and he was already an adult. There was no reason for me to keep him around anymore.

"Since you're a dragon and you can't make me rich, you should just leave," I said. "As for the money I spent on you, I'll consider it a lesson learned. I won't ask you to pay me back."

He looked confused.

"What do you mean?" he demanded. "You don't want me anymore?"

I let out a sigh and tried to explain.

"I only bought you to keep as a pet for breeding. Now I'm not asking for my money back, and I'm setting you free. Isn't that a good thing?

"Besides, you're a noble dragon straight out of legend. What's the point of staying here as my pet?"

He stared at me in silence. A dark look settled over his face, and I could almost feel his anger simmering beneath the surface.

Then he repeated his earlier question.

"So you're planning to dump me after having your way with me?"

I waved my hands right away.

"Don't talk nonsense! Nothing has ever happened between us. When did I ever have my way with you?"

It gave a soft scoff.

"But you have your way with me every day when you give me a bath."

    I grabbed the throw pillow next to me and threw it at him."Get out! Get out right now! Tomorrow I'm having Sprout sleep with me, so you can go sleep in the living room!"Apparently, that struck a nerve, because he stormed out in a fury.The next morning, I woke up feeling well rested. When I walked into the living room, though, Sprout was nowhere to be seen.I found Onyx in the kitchen, busy making breakfast."Where's Sprout?" I asked.Onyx still seemed to be in the same good mood as the day before, but his words told a completely different story."I threw it out," he said calmly.My eyes widened."Threw it out where?" I asked at once. "Do you have any idea how much I paid for it?"Onyx glanced up from what he was doing."You care about it that much?"I was momentarily speechless at his possessiveness."I paid a fortune for it," I said. "Besides, I've had it for quite a while now."Suddenly, Onyx rinsed his hands and set one damp hand beside my ear, his lips catching my

    He paused, and his eyes lit up, but the moment he heard what I said next, the light in them dimmed."You'll have to change back into your original form, though."He frowned again."Why? The two forms make no difference to me at all."I did not understand what he meant by that, but I chose not to ask. I had a feeling that if I asked even one more question, I would lose my nerve.He continued."Then which form should I take to mate with you? Or rather, which version of me do you like more?"Once again, I was left speechless. Why on earth was this dragon obsessed with that topic? I had no intention of answering, and I certainly did not want to encourage him.Before long, Onyx tossed Sprout out of the bedroom, claiming he did not like having other species in there. Heaven knew I felt exactly the same way.I remembered agreeing with him that we would sleep in separate rooms. Somehow, though, he seemed to forget that arrangement every single day and ended up crawling under my covers

    With that, he found a chair, sat down, and looked at me."Why are you still here? Planning to stick around and take care of me in my old age?"I looked at him, wanting to ask how he had found Onyx in the first place. Yet when I turned around again, the old man had vanished without a trace. The sheer strangeness of it made me jump.Onyx explained it to me."He's the spirit of the mountain behind us. Years ago, he saw how bored I was on my own, so he tricked me into leaving and sold me to you."I stared at him in shock."A mountain spirit? A shameless old crook? A guy who tricks kids? Those are all the same person?"Onyx's lips suddenly curved into a smile at my reaction."I spent years carefully choosing you. It wasn't really a trick. If anything, I should thank him."I was speechless. For the first time, I genuinely felt as though I was living in a fantasy world. The revelation was so absurd that I did not spend much time thinking about anything else he had said.Under the ch

    After we got away from the crowd, I led Sprout and Onyx toward the woods nearby. All the trimmed branches in the park had already been cleared away, so the woods were the only place left to find whole ones.The woods were not very deep, but I had heard they connected to a stretch of remote mountains on the other side. No one ever ventured into those mountains.That reminded me of something, and I glanced at Onyx."Is your home around here?"Onyx did not understand why I was asking, so I explained."After all, dragons live either in the water or up in the mountains."Onyx answered firmly."I might have been born here, but my home isn't here."I grew curious. "Then where's your home?"He suddenly raised a hand and pointed at me."Wherever you are, that's my home."I froze. I knew all too well that Onyx was a dragon who never lied, and for some reason, I felt a little warmth spread through my chest.I did not ask any more questions after that. As we reached the edge of the woo

    I spent quite a while trying to figure out why the little green snake had rammed itself into the cage earlier. In truth, my thoughts kept drifting back to what had happened before, and I could not understand why Onyx's personality had changed so drastically all of a sudden.Did dragons go through some kind of complete personality shift once they reached adulthood?At that moment, I genuinely wanted to demand answers from the heavens and ask for my sweet, adorable Onyx back. Lost in thought, I crouched in front of the sealed cage for so long that I must have looked completely helpless.Then Onyx's voice came from behind me. For some reason, his silky voice seemed to carry a clingy, honeyed note."This kind of snake can't be kept in a sealed box this small. You need a larger enclosure with branches for it to coil around."Only after hearing that did I remember reading about the care requirements for this type of snake.Onyx stood behind me, eyeing Sprout as he spoke irritably."It

    I had to admit, Onyx in human form was far too striking. How many people in this world could see such good looks and stay unmoved? I certainly could not. Yet what he said was so blatant that it was hard to ignore.I tried to push Onyx away, but he would not budge. In the end, I could only let out a sigh."Onyx, turning into a human doesn't make you human. You're still a dragon, and I'm still a human. We're completely different.""Besides, it took you a thousand years just to reach adulthood, while my entire life will only last a few decades. We're not right for each other."Even after I explained it, Onyx acted as though he had not heard a word. He continued holding on and refused to let go."It's time for you to give me my bath."I was furious when I realized this dragon had not been listening to a single word I said. After all that talking, none of it had gotten through to him. I squirmed in his arms, trying to break free, but he was far too strong. No matter how hard I struggl
