A Pet for the Dragons

98.

ARIKA

I was shaking with anger, need and frustration as Radrox shoved his cock back into his pants and walked out of the room without sparing me another glance. It was as if I meant nothing to him, and it hurt me a fucking lot. Even though I knew that I pretty much deserved this because of all the things I'd done to him and the others, still, it hurt pretty darn much.

But it was more humiliating than ever. I couldn't believe I was so desperate at that moment that I stooped so low. I'd begged him and let him use my mouth... and I'd enjoyed it more than I should've. I could still feel the lasting effect of his cock in my throat. I'd almost choked on his girth and enjoyed that so much that I was dripping wet.

I'd craved for his taste so fucking much... yet, he didn't give it to me. He spilt his seed on the floor as if I wasn't even worthy of that. It was humiliating and hurtful. I didn't want to feel so intensely for something so minor, but my heart was hung on it.

I was more angry at myself than the dragons. I was angry at myself for getting myself in a situation like this but it was too late to think about such things.

"Fuck him and everyone," I hissed. "I'm so fucking done,"

I stormed to the bathroom to clean myself off and wash Radrox's taste off my mouth. Meanwhile, I tried my best not to burst into flames. I was so close to just storming out of the room and finding that damn red dragon and settling the scores with him. But I had already embarrassed myself enough for today. I decided not to push too hard, or else I'd do something much more stupid.

But that didn't mean I'd leave Radrox and his brother alone. I'd make them pay for what they did to me today. Though, I decided that today was not the day for it. I was tired and... too emotional to deal with these things tactfully.

I needed to clear up my mind and think straight for a moment. I reminded myself that the bigger issue wasn't that the brothers were treating me like shit. We were in a dangerous place, and we needed to get out of it as soon as possible.

Still... I was pissed.

After Radrox left, I cleaned myself and decided to go to sleep. I didn't know what time it was, but I felt tired of all the bullshit from the brothers I had to endure today. On top of that, I met that golden prince who said pretty fucked up things to me. I also needed to think about those things and figure out what exactly he was referring to.

However, as soon as I lay on the bed, I didn't get a second of sleep. I couldn't rest because my mind was still racing, and I was still seething with anger. My body still felt hot, aching for the touch of one of those dragons, but I decided that I'd die before I'd ask either of them to touch me.

I was simply done with their bullshit now. They didn't care about making me feel comfortable in this entirely new place. Why should I give a damn about them?

However, no matter how much I tried, I kept tossing and turning in my bed, thinking about my dragons and where they might be. I couldn't help but worry about what they were doing and who they were out with. It annoyed me more than the brothers playing me like an instrument, only to abandon me.

After all, they did tell me that this place was dangerous. I shuddered, remembering the Empress and the gold that seemed to cover every part of her being. And then there was her son, the golden prince, Yvune.

He told me that my daughter belonged to him and his brothers. If I ever had a daughter, I'd die before letting them get their hands on her.

The more I replayed everything that happened that day, the sooner I wanted to leave this place. It felt like hell, and this was just my first day here. Who knew how long we were going to be here?

I was deep in my thoughts, still tossing and turning around in my bed, when the door to my room opened. I jerked up, ready to throw my hands at whoever it was.

"Were you asleep?" It happened to be none other than Ivret. The annoyance and frustration I'd been feeling earlier was back as soon as I saw him.

"Why are you here?" I couldn't help but hiss at him in anger. He looked taken aback at my blunt hostility.

"I was worried about you," He said, sounding genuinely worried for me. It tugged at my heart for a bit, but I shielded myself from his bullshit. I had enough of it today.

"Oh yeah? Nothing screams that you were worried for me more than abandoning me the moment we arrived. Why don't you return to whoever you were with all this time? It was the Empress, wasn't it?" I couldn't help but a tinge of jealousy imagining him being with the Empress. It was followed by an immense hurt feeling when I realised I couldn't do much, even if he was with her. After all, I was a nobody in this place.

"No," Ivret cleared instantly. "Why would I be with her? I went to meet some old friends to gather information," He said, sounding somewhat tired and overwhelmed. His answer relieved me a bit, but I was still pissed at him for leaving after we met with the Empress.

"Then go back to them. You don't have to worry about me," I hissed at him. "Just leave me alone. I've already had enough shit for today,"

"What happened?" He dared to ask.

"Seriously? You wish to me recall everything shitty that happened with me today?" He couldn't be serious, and I would give him hell if he were. "First, we arrive here, and I'm absolutely clueless about everything, but then we meet the Empress. After that, you all leave me alone without explaining anything and then one of the Empress' spawn sneaks in and—"

"Wait, what?" He straightened up. I narrowed my eyes at him. I was so close to bursting into flames.

"I'm done and going to sleep now," I said, giving him my back instead.

"No, wait," Ivret rounded the bed to get to my side, "Did you say that you met one of the princes?" He asked. "When did that happen? Where did you meet them? Please tell me. I'm trying to figure out things here,"

"I'm done for today. Don't bother me again," I told him sharply.

"Was it the Gold Prince?" Ivret continued pressing. "Wasn't it? You must tell me what happened, Arika. Did he hurt you? We can't take this lightly, especially the Gold Prince. He's... dangerous,"

I didn't miss the terror in his voice as he talked about that child dragon. I shuddered, thinking about him. His presence was bothersome. I could still feel it in the room. I wondered if he was hiding somewhere.

Ivret sounded somewhat terrified of that kid, and I didn't miss how Radrox was eyeing that kid as if it was about to explode like a volcano. Radrox hadn't given me much information, but I was determined to learn everything from Ivret.

How do you not know your daughter? Yvune's words rang in my ears as I asked Ivret, "Do you know who Yko is?"
