Strange

Cassius’s POV

I am not sure what possessed me, but I opened the door for Avery and let her pass without admonishing her. Normally, I might have shoved her behind me or smacked her for running into me. But instead, I held the door open like a fucking gentleman. I am not a gentleman. I have been groomed to be, not just the Alpha of Naga, but also the ruler of dragons. I will not be trusting to any outsiders as my parents were. They took in everyone and that is why we live among humans like Avery. I can't be weak or else my species may become extinct. 

On my way to the cafeteria to grab some breakfast, I passed by Avery’s locker just as she was splattered by red paint. I wanted to laugh at her as the other students were, but I grew agitated instead. Asher began to pace in my mind. Does he care? He can't, because I don't. 

I am sitting with my brothers eating, as Jessica comes up behind me. She wraps her arms around my shoulders, leaning down to tell me,“Now that dirty slut will know her place.”

Asher breathes fire as a puff of smoke comes out of my nose. I hate when he does that without warning, because it makes me have to bite the inside of my cheek to prevent me from breathing fire.  “What did you do?”

“I just put a label on her. She should not even be here. Human sluts don't satisfy a dragon,” Jessica snickers in my ear. I hope she isn't my mate, because if she is, I will have to educate her on how a noble, especially a queen, is to behave.

Yes, humans and dragons shouldn't mingle, as nothing good ever comes from it, but Avery is not a slut. I have never seen her around any boy except for me and my brothers. Granted, she resembles the undead, at least, in appearance. The only thing separating her from a zombie is rot. I furrow my brow as I look at my brothers and the women hanging off us. At this moment, I am thankful that they aren't our mates. I do wish there was someone I could ask about what the bond is really like. They teach us the basics, but I want to feel it. In a little over a week from now, I will. 

“Maybe she did need to be shown her place, but there are other ways to do it. What if she can prove that you did it?”

Jessica places herself on my lap and wraps her arms around my neck, “She won’t say or do anything. I think that she likes the abuse. Besides, it is practice for when I become queen.”

I hear Asher growl. Apparently, he doesn't want her to be anyone’s queen, especially mine. Then I remember Conner describing the claw marks on Avery’s back. What if a dragon did mark her? If he comes for her, he can have her. She's not worth a war. She's no Helen of Troy. Besides, by then, I will be balls deep in my mate, making an heir. 

Jessica’s POV

When I told Cassius what I did, I thought that he would be as elated as I was. Has he let her suck his cock? No, she is human. Plus, he better not have, because he and his crown are mine. Each of us girls picked a brother and he was mine. Granted, I would fuck any of them, but dragons don't share. So my friends and I each picked a brother to focus on. Cassius is the most likely to be crowned king. 

“I have an idea. After practice, let's all go out to dinner.”

Cassius looks at his brothers who both respond with a shrug. “I guess we could eat.”

That wasn't the enthusiastic response that I was hoping for. Nevertheless, I will blow his mind when we jump straight to dessert later. Come to think of it, Cassius has been acting strangely since I blew him under the bleachers. He didn't smell or taste any different so I know he's not fucked another dragon, but what if he's thinking of another girl? If he is, I will find her, and make her disappear. I will be the Queen of Dragons, not some pathetic bitch!

The day goes by quickly and I know just the place to go for dinner. Blackout is a completely dark restaurant that has private rooms and most importantly it is next door to a BDSM club. We can give our guys a taste and get them so hot and bothered that they drag us by our hair to the club and fuck us like the beasts that they are. 

End Jessica’s POV

I checked on my clothes after I retrieved my lunch from the kitchen. I might have even saved them too. I hope so, because I don't want to waste money on clothes since I won't take many of them with me when I leave this place. I am only planning on taking a small backpack. I will start my life from scratch with nothing that reminds me of any dragons! Once I am gone, I don't ever want to see a dragon again. 

I worked on some of my schoolwork. I love that teachers give us very detailed syllabi. It readies us for what human college is like. I can't wait to go to college. Dragons don't venture far from their lands and they don't have colleges. In the dragon world, your future is based on the family that you were born into. Does that have any appeal? No, not really. What if your family were healers and blood made you faint? I laugh at how silly it would be to watch someone so big and strong like Cassius faint at the sight of blood. 

Fuck! Why did I just include him in my thoughts? It must be because I was working on our chemistry project that we will be doing Friday. I put the lab project aside and picked up my book. I grab a blanket and throw it over me as I lay atop my comforter. Reading, reading will help me purge my mind. I sip my tea as I begin to read. 

I find myself surrounded by darkness again. I must be dreaming because I hear whispers and feel tongues roam my body. It feels so good. Then forked tongues join the soft wet human ones. It feels alien, yet I don't recoil. Instead, I lean into it. But I can't move my arms, they must be tied. Part of me wishes to see myself like this, but the other part of me fears that the forked tongues belong to dragons. Another forked tongue joins the other three. As it delves inside of my pussy, I bolt awake. What the fuck was that!
