Chapter 2

Krylox

I hate breeders.

My mother was a breeder, a weak woman who could not handle giving birth to a child like me. Although I was of mixed blood, I took more after my father, and she ended up dying giving birth to me. He blamed me for it even though he didn't love her, we just can't reproduce because our species only creates men. It's very rare to get a woman of our kind but if we do, she's immediately taken away to the royal family because they deem themselves the better ones to get the fresh pick.

I have kept myself away from the breeding ships because I had no reason to reproduce. I might be a skilled warrior and my genes would be perfect to pass on, I don't have the heart to do that to another frail woman who can't take us. Some of the breeders end up dying due to the fact that they can't handle our cocks. My race is big, there's nothing that can be done about it, but there are some who don't care that they are too big. They do everything in their power to make sure that the woman hurts, and they don't allow her to rest at all. Sometimes their breeding sessions can go on for hours, maybe even a few days.

Let's just say the woman doesn't make it out of it alive.

But something this time is drawing me to the ship. I don't know what it is, feeling a bit annoyed because I'm thinking it is just my curiosity. It has been a long while since a breeding ship came around and I know a lot of the warriors are eager to obtain one. But when I see her being guided out of the ship, everything falls into place.

I don't even have to touch her to know that she is mine. My mate. It doesn't happen very often but sometimes our kind meet someone that they are destined to be with. Their perfect match. That hasn't happened in nearly thirty years and most of the warriors don't believe in it anymore. I march in that direction, everyone moving out of my way because they know that they shouldn't try to mess with me unless they want to die. I know that they find it odd that I'm going towards that direction because they know that I don't join in these games, but they are going to be sorely mistaken when they realize the truth about what I'm going to do next.

The woman looked away, and I think she thought I was going towards someone else. I hate to break it to her but that's far from the case, planting myself right in front of her. Her beautiful blue eyes turn to look at me, slightly widening as I take her in.

She's everything that I should hate but I can't bring myself to do so. She's just so beautiful even with her long, wavy brown hair that looks like it needs a good brushing. She has fair, delicate features, and the outfit she wears barely conceals anything. I want to be pissed because I don't like the idea of someone else seeing what mine is but there's nothing that she could do about it.

"You're mine." Suddenly passes through my lips before I even realize what is happening.

Her eyes widen momentarily as she looks at me with confusion, "what?"

I look towards the seller, knowing that I'm going to have to pay, "how much?"

He looks confused himself because he knows that I do not participate. He glances around, seeing if anyone is going to object but no one dares to. They don't want to piss me off honestly. I'd love to see them try to fight me for her though because they know I am just not one to fuck with and they know that I have no qualms with putting someone in their place. I even did it to the Royal family and that's when everyone learned to shut the fuck up and leave me alone because I have no problem dealing with assholes who want to continue to mess things up for me.

It has become more and more obvious with passing days that somethings just were being weird and not going the way that I needed it to and so many people told me that I needed to find me a mate or something. That ended up confusing me a lot because why did I need to look for a mate? I have done so much in my life that didn't require for me to go down that road and I have been okay with it because it's just how things were. Of course, I could definitely understand if I just kept doing things the wrong way, but I know that I haven't.

I know for a fact that I've been doing this the way that I need to, and he ends up nodding his head to me. He gives me the price, making me grit my teeth because my mate is worth so much more than that but I'm not going to allow anyone to touch her. Before she can even think to fight me off, I'm already pulling her into my arms and carrying her off, ignoring the stares of those watching and just knowing that I'm going to be the one to keep her safe.

I'm sure it's not going to be easy for her to trust me considering everything that has already happened, but I can assure her right here and now that I'm not going to allow anyone to hurt her. Over my dead body will that happen. She peers up at me and I see the slight fear in her eyes but also the confusion, probably wondering what I'm going to do about this. I can't be a hundred percent certain about what I want to see happen, but I do know that I can't allow anyone or anything to stand in my way anymore.

I just have to protect her and that's my main goal.

First, I need to earn her trust.
