Chapter 2

### Luna Lawson

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

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

"Hmm," he hummed as he walked around me, and I didn't shake in fear, 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 him, meeting his red eyes. He stopped in front of me, and I could still see the look of disbelief in the faces of the other four dragons as they had all shapeshifted to look like us, the humans, and were surprised to hear I was a woman.

"You heard me correctly. Now strip!" he commanded again, and my blood boiled as I saw the look of rejection 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? I need to confirm if you're truly a female or a male, 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 said as he moved backward, and I mustered the courage to start stripping.

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

I saw the dragon man's eyes burn redder as he took in how large my bosom was. He approached me, but I was unshakeable. Even though I was female with natural endowments, I was still brutal and ruthless. When he attempted to touch my breast, forgetting I was still holding my sword, I sliced off his hand, causing him to scream, "How dare you?!" But he didn’t slap me nor burn me, as he waved his other hand to his four companions not to interfere.

I thought he was going to kill me as I ensured I sliced his hand off completely, but to my shock, he picked up his severed hand from the ground, reattached it to his elbow, and it magically healed.

"I see you're a princess. How interesting that the last princess of Sunfield has been disguising herself as a man all this while. 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 couldn’t speak as I was still in shock from how he knew I was a princess.

He walked faster to me and this time forcefully took my sword away. He threw me over his shoulder, not caring that I was bare and without clothes, and took me away while I struggled against his strong grip.

"Put me down!" I screamed, but he transformed, lifted me with his leg, and flew away with me and the rest of the dragons, taking me to their dragon king.

He had claimed to be the dragon king's brother, and I kept struggling to break free from his tight hold, not caring 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 a shark rather than face the dragon king.

Upon 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 buildings we hadn’t dared to approach while running away.

I was captured by night, so by the time we reached their dragon city, it was already daytime and sunny. Many of the dragons started coming out of their various houses to peer at us.

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

"Your majesty!" Aaron held a bright smile on his face while I cursed under my breath for being without any clothes.

I stared at the front of the castle, trying to use my hands to cover my breasts, but they were too large, and I became utterly embarrassed.

I saw a man step out from the towering building, his eyes locking onto me as they met mine. He gulped and gestured to a guard with gray hair. I watched as the gray-haired man snapped his fingers, and two female dragon-women walked out to meet me.

I couldn't tell if they were humans or dragons; the females looked cute with brown skin, and they thankfully brought me wrappers. However, they weren’t smiling as they dragged me away after wrapping me like a piece of bread.

I looked back at the male dragon, who dripped authority. He had golden hair, and my eyes burned with intensity as I met his sharp blue gaze while I saw Aaron walk up to him.

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

I was hoping to see my sisters, and my mind raced with various thoughts: What had they used my elder sisters for? What did they want from me, and where were they taking me?

They followed one side of the mansion and took me upstairs. I thought they were taking me to the dungeon or prison, but instead, they led me up the stairs along with them. I was confused about what they really wanted to use me for.

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

"Let me go!" I fought against the two strong females, surprising them as I stomped hard on their feet and somersaulted backward, not caring if my wrapper loosened or not. I wasn't ready to be cooked yet.

"What has come over you? Do you think you can escape from us as if we were humans?!" They cursed at me as I ran away while they chased me. I dashed through another door, not caring which side of the mansion I entered.

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

Luckily for me, there weren’t many guards in the house, and I wondered who the gray-haired man and the golden-haired man were.

Who among them was the dragon king?

All of that didn’t matter; hiding was my only priority as I planned my escape. Approaching a door, I quickly pushed it open and stepped inside, freezing in horror at the beautiful golden bedroom I had just entered.

These dragons were rich; how could this be?

I froze as I stared at the king-sized bed. It wasn’t made of wood but gold. Everywhere I looked in the mansion gleamed with gold, and I assumed this was probably the golden-haired man’s bedroom.

"Shit!" I cursed, and I immediately heard footsteps approaching from behind me. Not knowing what to do, I ran into his wardrobe, hiding in the large space and hoping the clothes would cover me. I needed an explanation for how these dragons could be so wealthy while we were poor and hiding in the shadows.

"Your majesty!" I heard the two females say as they ran up to meet the footprint sounds, recognizing their voices.

"What's going on?" he replied, but I froze as his voice made me shiver inside the wardrobe.

"Your majesty, the new female has run away, and she's hiding somewhere around here."

"Hmm," I heard him hum, followed by silence. Then I heard the door shut. I didn't know if he left or if he was still there, as I couldn't see out through the wardrobe door, but I was sweating and kept wondering what was going on between them.
