#8 of Kings Guard

This is set between the events of "Knight takes King" and "The new Kings Firm Hand" but please read them in the order of the serries for maximum heart string pulling.


Aurelia could hear Ashan's screams from outside the bag she was trapped in, renewing her struggles she thrashed around, her claws out as she tried to rip the bag. Ashan's muffled cries causing her heart to race, the darkness of the bag causing her to become disorientated as she wiggled and squirmed, trying to get free. As the guards heavy club swung down, it crashed into her skull causing her to collapse and go limp in the bag. She could feel blood filling her lungs as she struggled to breath. She never felt the second swing of the club, her mind dimming as she lost consciousness.

Aurelia could hear voices talking as she slowly stirred, she sniffed the air and could smell a combination of fresh meat and the unmistakable scent of animal fear. The room she was in was cold and she could feel the cold stone floor she was stretched out on. She slowly opened her eyes, her whole body screaming in agony as she tried to focus on the world around her. The room was dimly lit and she could see it was still nighttime out one of the windows. She stayed quiet and squinted, trying to focus her eyes on the two people who were talking loudly above her. She turned her head to look up and her felt her balance was off, one side of her head felt lighter than the other.

She couldnt comprehend what was being said, but she saw the one of the black clad men from Ashan's room, talking angrily at a short portly looking man who had an apron on. Blood stained the short mans apron and it was clear that the guard was asking something of him that he was not happy about. The voices escalated and the guard kept gesturing towards her.

She clenched her limbs to quietly try to see how injured she was, her wings felt wrong and her hips were sore, she knew that she was in no condition to fight. The conversation between the two escalated and the guard started waving his club above his head, causing the shorter man to take a few steps back. The guard reached over to a register from the counter and took a handful of money out, stuffing his pockets he shouted at the short man and gestured to Aurelia before leaving. The door slammed shut as the black clothed man left, leaving the short man and Aurelia alone in the cold room.

Aurelia looked up at the short man, blood caked to her nose and mouth. He turned to her and held her gaze, his face sad as he looked into her hurt purple eyes. He spoke softly as he came over to her and knelt down, his hands callused and rough as he stroked her face. She warbled softly as he held her head into his lap, She didn't see him draw the sharp knife until she felt it pressed against her neck. Her body too weak to resist, she looked up at him. She could see the look in his eyes and she knew that he didn't want to do this. She let out a small whine, the blood in her lungs causing it to end as a gurgle. She coughed as she tried to clear her lungs, the sharp blade still against her scales as the butcher tried to reason with himself.

She closed her eyes, waiting for the butcher to plunge in his knife and end the pain. But it never came, She heard him put the knife back into his apron and she slowly opened her eyes. He gently stroked his hands over her head and face and whispered softly to her. She didn't understand his words but he stood up and gently helped her to her feet. Her body complaining as she struggled to get to her feet, her wings drooping low onto the ground and her tail kinked un-naturally.

The butcher opened the front door to his shop and looked outside, making sure no one was watching. He propped the door open and went over to a counter, pulling out a knife he started sharpening it, keeping his back to Aurelia he heard him say "Go, Go-on. Get." Aurelia slowly stumbled on her feet as she made her way slowly to the door, Looking back at the butcher she let out a happy warble and slowly padded outside into the town.

As Aurelia looked around she tried to get her bearings, She inhaled deeply, causing her to cough violently and she spat out a large clump of blood. She caught her breath and sniffed the air, the town smelt unfamiliar to her. She could smell the strong scent of horses and spices, looking around her she took in the sights. It looked like she was in some kind of market, there was no one around as it must have been either late at night or early morning. Either way it was not the markets she was familiar with. She knew she had to leave, this was not her home and she was still very injured.

Aurelia slinked down a back ally and tried to find some high ground to work out where she was, her wings were in no condition to fly and she made her way out of the city, She could see a large dune in the distance and she made her way towards it, hoping to get above the buildings to try and find the palace. As she climbed to the dune, her feet shaky on the sand, often causing her to stumble and fall. Picking herself up she made her way to the crest and looked around. Her stomach dropped as she looked around and could see no familiar landmarks. The palace that she had grown up in was no where to be found, she sniffed the desert air and even that smelt foreign to her. She let out a desperate roar and collapsed exhausted on the crest of the dune, sand sticking to the blood that was on her body. She felt her vision darkening and she let unconsciousness take her.

Aurelia lay there, helpless and alone, for what felt like an eternity. The sun beat down on her, and the sand whipped around her body. She had no idea how long she had been lying there when she heard a faint sound in the distance. She blearily opened an eye and she could see vultures circling above her, she groaned out but her body didn't respond to her trying to get up. She closed her eyes for a while and when she opened them she could see that the carrion birds were circling lower, her eyes struggled to focus on their dark bodies against the bright sky. She could hear their heavy wings beating as they descended, She thought her mind was playing tricks on her, she felt so small with these large birds descending down on her, their bodies blocking out the sun. Only when one landed on top of her did she realize that the bird was not a vulture but a dragon. She growled softly as the large dragon stood over her, its scales a deep grey blue. Her whole body tensed as she felt vulnerable in its shadow. She could smell the dragon's scent, it was warm and dusty with a deep masculine scent. She looked up to his face and could see his eyes were soft and kind. She relaxed slightly as he ran his nose down her length, inspecting her body and taking in her injuries. She was thankful that she couldn't smell her heat any more, either it had ended or her body had sustained so much shock that it believed at some level that breeding was not appropriate.

The large drake tried to nudge her to her feet but her body was not responding, Aurelia let out a grumble as he nudged her again and again. With a huff he walked over her, her back paws grabbing her around the hips and shoulders. With a heavy beat of his wings he leapt into the air, carrying her in his clutches. Aurelia let out a whine as she watched the ground drop away from her, her wings dangling at odd angles below her. Looking up at the drake she could see the muscles under his scales bulging and rippling as he he flew with her, His wing beats heavy as he carried their combined load. Occasionally he would look back at her to make sure she was ok, She took in his looks, his scales were rougher than her smooth silver scales and she could tell that he was a lot older. Looking at the old scars that ran down his chest and sides she could tell that he had been in his fair share of fights, likely with other dragons and the fact that he was holding her with such care comforted her. She knew that if he was going to hurt her he would have done it by now.

As he looked back at her again she named him Kind-Eyes, his gaze of that of concern and worry. They flew just below the clouds and she looked around, trying to see if she could spot the palace. With no luck she saw that they were flying towards a mountain range, they slowly glid towards a cave entrance and she felt his big wings flare and slow them down with large flaps, causing dust and sand to scatter as he gently touched her down on the ground before landing beside her. Kind-Eyes let out a loud grumble and Aurelia saw multiple dragons emerge from the cave. She counted six, each one larger than the next. Her heart stopped as she saw a familiar drake emerge last, his size larger than all of them and his scales shining in the desert sun. The drake was a dark brown and had a mane of red quills from his head, roughly the height of a draft horse with a long tail and neck tripling that length. It was clear that this dragon was the alpha of this clan and he walked towards her powerfully. Aurelia looked towards Kind-Eyes but he stepped away from her to let the alpha inspect her, it was clear that although Kind-Eyes was older, the Alpha was stronger and in charge.

She painfully rolled herself over onto her belly and forced herself to stand up, her legs shaking violently as she raised her head to look at the Alpha. His size dwarfing hers and she could still see a few missing scales on his body from their fight in the new estate. He stood in front of her and lowered his large head close to hers, her whole body shivered as she could smell his powerful masculine scent, every part of him was strong and made to dominate. He sniffed her and inspected her body, taking note of her scent and injuries. The alpha let out a serries of warbles and grunts to the rest of the dragons and then returned to the cave, the other dragons came to her side and gently nudged her in the direction of the cave.

As she entered her eyes took a moment to adjust to the dim light, The cave was large enough for all the dragons to comfortably lounge, in the center of the cave was a raised platform, her nose twitched at the scent of copper coming from the raised section. She saw the alpha lay down on the raised section, it was clear that his nest was an old copper deposit, his scales were smoother and shinier than the other dragons in the clan, a clear indication that he had the best spot of the cave. The other dragons took her over to a corner where a small water spring had broken through the floor, she collapsed at the side of the spring and started drinking heavily. The taste was not as good as the water she was used to, but it helped get the taste of desert out of her mouth. As she lapped at the water, warbling her thanks the other dragons started to clean her with their tongues.

She shivered at the sensation of their strong rough tongues running over her scales, cleaning the dried blood off her hide. She groaned as one licked over one of the many bruises but didn't stop them. One she had her fill she lay down next to the spring and relaxed the other dragons still taking their time cleaning her wounds. Even with the other dragons surrounding her she still felt alone, she couldn't help but think about her Ashan. She was in no position to look for him and she tried to bury her feelings, she was in the presence of powerful dragons and she knew she was already showing so much weakness by being injured.


Days turned to weeks as Aurelia slowly recovered in the cave. She felt her body getting stronger with each day and she couldn't help but observe the behaviors of the other dragons in the cave. She had made up nick names for most of the dragons and it was clear that they all participated in activities that benefited the whole clan. Some would go out hunting for the clan, others stayed behind and cleaned each other. The dragons would take it in turns hunting and resting, Even the alpha would leave the nest to help hunt however it was clear that he always got the first picks of the kill. Aurelia could feel her scales becoming rough and dull as she rested on the dirty ground, her wings still not strong enough to fly or hunt, but she took on the role of cleaner. Often cleaning the other drakes and dragons when they came back from their hunt in exchange for food, it was clear that she was on the lower end of the hierarchy and she would often have to wait her turn when the dragons came back with their kills.

As Aurelia spent more time observing the dynamics of the flock, she began to notice a curious habit of the alpha male. Each night, he would select another dragon to share his nest with, He would walk up to the dragon he selects and give them a nip on the rump before they would both return to his nest. The nest was only slightly higher than the rest of the cave and their activities were very visible to her from where she rested, and she could see and hear everything that went on.

She watched with a mix of fascination and discomfort as the alpha male selected his partner for the night. The chosen dragon would approach the nest with a submissive posture, her body language indicating her willingness to submit to his will.

Once inside the nest , Aurelia could hear the sounds of their mating echoing through the cave. The alpha male's powerful growls and the female's submissive moans mixed together in a symphony of pleasure and desire. The scent of their passion filled the air, a musky aroma that made Aurelia's own desires flare.

Despite the discomfort of watching these intimate moments, Aurelia couldn't help but be captivated by the alpha male's power and dominance. She could see how the other dragons looked up to him, how they longed to be chosen for his bed each night. After each mating the chosen dragon was allowed to spend the night in the alphas nest, she would see them rubbing their scales against the copper and she felt her own scales start to itch. The copper deposit was a far cry from the gold threaded sheets that she was used to, but having not spent any time in contact with metals her whole body felt like it was on fire. A part of her was jealous of the dragons being chosen, she could see the relief on their faces as they slept on the copper, but at the same time the alpha was huge compared to her, the way that he took the other dragons was fierce and intimidating a far cry from the gentle tender touch of Ashan, Although she could walk, her hips were still sore and she was in no condition to mate.

The days continued to roll by and her scales tarted to itch like something fierce, she started to scratch at her scales, their rough texture irritating her. They used to be soft, smooth and shiny, their silver color had started to dull to an ash grey. Her once golden stripes were nothing more than tan streaks down her body. Her whole body was a shadow of what it once was, it was clear that the standings of the dragons in the clan was heavily determined by their hunting prowess and how the alpha treated them, As she couldn't hunt she was at the mercy of the other dragons, often Kind-Eyes would give her some of his food which she gratefully took.

Her heart raced as one night the Alpha approached her, his powerful body radiating heat and energy, she felt a jolt of fear and desire. But as he reached out to select her for the his nightly romp, Aurelia's injuries caught up with her, As he nipped her rump and she recoiled in pain, swiping at him with her talons.

The alpha male stepped back, surprised and a bit hurt by Aurelia's reaction. He looked at her for a moment, assessing her injuries. She had been in his nest for months now and he had never had his chance with her. She had grown significantly since they fought, her fierce passion and sharp claws still a firm memory in his mind. He snarled at her reaction, He had never had a dragon reject his advances and he felt like she was challenging his authority. As he snarled and got ready to nip her again on her rump, the alpha felt another dragon push against his side.

Aurelia watched as Kind-Eyes ran his body against the alpha, pushing his head up against the alphas throat and letting out a deep warble, Kind-eyes continued to rub his body against the alpha and turned him away from Aurelia. Kind-eyes pushed his rump against the shoulders of the alpha and walked towards the copper nest, his tail curling around the alpha's neck and drawing him towards the nest. With a grumble the alpha turned and followed Kind-Eyes, Aurelias heart beating rapidly.

Aurelia watched with a mix of regret and relief. She couldn't deny the intense feelings she felt towards the alpha, his body strong and powerful and the sounds that the dragons made when he took them excited her greatly, but at the same time, she knew that she wasn't ready to take part in these intimate rituals just yet.

Aurelia couldn't help but notice the way that Kind-Eyes moved, his scales shimmering in the dim light of the cave. His muscles rippled as he walked into the nest and lowered his chest to the ground submitting to the alpha male's will, his body language betraying his own desire for submission.

Aurelia was intrigued to see how things would unfold between the two males, how their passion and dominance would play out in this intimate setting. She watched as the alpha male's powerful body pressed against Kind-Eyes, his dark scales contrasting with the deep grey blue of the other dragon's body.

Aurelia couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and trepidation. She watched in awe as the alpha positioned himself behind the other dragon, his powerful front legs grasping Kind-Eye's hips as he pulled himself onto the older drake.

The alpha's shaft was large and thick, its light pink mottled color contrasting with the grey blue of the other dragon's scales. Aurelia couldn't help but feel a sense of envy and desire as she watched the alpha enter the male with a forceful thrust.

The sounds that echoed through the cave were intense and raw, the grunts and moans of the two males intermingling in a symphony of passion and dominance. The alpha male's movements were forceful and powerful, his primal instincts driving him to exert his dominance over the other male.

As Aurelia watched, she felt a sense of awe and fear at the raw power of the alpha male. She knew that he was the undisputed leader of their flock, a dragon whose power and dominance were unmatched by any other in their group

The sounds of their mating were intense and primal, the grunts of the alpha deep and rich, the cries of Kind-Eyes echoing through the cave. As the alpha male's powerful body pressed against the submissive male, Aurelia watched with a mix of curiosity and desire as Kind-Eyes's shaft began to swell and grow erect. With each thrust of the alpha, the submissive male's shaft bounced and twitched, a clear sign of his mounting arousal and submission to the alpha's dominance.

Aurelia couldn't help but intimidated at the raw power of the alpha male, his primal instincts driving him to exert his dominance over the other male. But at the same time, she couldn't deny the intense attraction she felt towards him, the desire to submit to his will and experience the raw passion that burned within the Alpha dragon.

As the Alpha continued to thrust into the submissive male, his movements became more assertive and forceful. The Alpha's primal instincts took over, driving him to exert his dominance over the other male by sinking his claws into Kind-Eyes's rump, pulling him back into his hard driving thrusts. The submissive male's cries of pleasure mingled with the alpha's growls of dominance, creating a cacophony of sound that filled the cavern.

Aurelia couldn't help but notice the pre that glistened on the Alphas shaft, allowing him to drive harder and faster into Kind-Eyes. It was a clear sign of the Alpha's mounting arousal and dominance, a physical manifestation of the power he held over the other male.

Suddenly, the alpha bit down on the submissive male's neck, eliciting a loud cry of pleasure from Kind-Eyes. With a yowl Kind-eyes climaxed, Aurelia saw the fluids that spilled from his body, his hot white seed jetting across the ground in front of him, She could see his shaft throbbing and hard, bouncing against his belly with each hard thrust from the Alpha. The scent of musk and desire filled the air, a heady aroma that was impossible to ignore.

Despite the intense sensations, the Alpha remained undeterred, his powerful body continuing to thrust into the submissive male with a relentless force, his powerful thrusts grew even harder and more frenzied, driving him to the brink of ecstasy. With a final, forceful thrust, the alpha let out a deep roar of pleasure, his body exploding with pent-up desire.

As he climaxed, Aurelia watched with a mix of fascination and awe, her eyes glued to the sight of the alpha's thick shaft hilted in the rump of Kind-eyes, filling the submissive male to the brim. She could see that the shaft of the alpha pulse and throb inside the other male as his hot seed flooded the other males insides, As the thick shaft throbbed with each pump of cum, a small trickle of seed leaked out of the tightly stretched rim of Kind-Eyes's tailhole. The scent of sex and passion filled the air, overpowering and intoxicating all at once.

With a final shudder, the alpha withdrew from the submissive male, leaving him panting and spent on the ground below. The alpha turned and lay down on the copper nest, pulling Kind-Eyes down to the ground with his strong paws, Aurelia knew that she had been witness to something truly powerful and primal, and a part of her was grateful that Kind-Eyes had taken her place.

Aurelia tried to sleep, the smells of the males still thick in the air, the sounds of their deep breathing echoing off the cave walls. She felt warm and excited inside and she dreamt of herself under the alpha, but instead it was Ashan driving into her. She wiggled in excitement and drifted off to sleep.

The sun rose over the desert, its rays shining through the cave opening, Aurelia stretched her body, feeling a newfound strength and vigor coursing through her veins. The wounds that had left her battered and almost finished healing, her wings still felt weak but she stretched them fully. She saw that the other dragons were starting to stir, Kind-Eyes and the alpha still sleeping on the copper deposit.

As she made her way over to where the other dragons were gathered, she caught a whiff of an enticing scent on the wind. It was the unmistakable aroma of a dragoness going into heat, her pheromones filling the air with a heady mix of musk and arousal. Curious and intrigued, Aurelia made her way over to where the dragoness in question was resting, her body flushed with desire. Aurelia had nicknamed her Little Green, She was still larger than Aurelia, but there was another green dragon in the clan who was larger. She remembered fondly the experiences she had with Ashan when she was on heat and knew the pain that Little Green was going through.

With a sly smile, Aurelia moved close to the dragoness's hips, She lowered her head and dipped it under the tail of the dragoness, She nuzzled the vulva of the other dragon and with her tongue, using her rough, sandpapery tongue ran it around the lips of Little Green. As she worked, Aurelia couldn't help but savor the taste of the other dragoness on her tongue, the musky flavor driving her own desires to new heights. It was a heady and intoxicating experience, one that left her feeling more alive and powerful than ever before.

Little Green let out a gasp and rolled over onto her back, Aurelia following her the whole way, her tongue delving into the wet folds of the other dragon. As Aurelia continued to help the other dragoness, admiring the tight appearance of Little Green's puffy vent, she listened carefully to the sounds that escaped the other's throat. Low, guttural growls mixed with high-pitched moans, the dragoness writhing in pleasure beneath Aurelia's skilled ministrations.

Aurelia's tongue worked deftly, flicking and lapping at the other dragoness's scales with precision. Each movement was carefully calculated to bring the other dragoness to the brink of ecstasy, her body trembling with each new wave of pleasure. The sound of scales rubbing against scales filled the air, accompanied by the wet, slurping noises of Aurelia's tongue as it worked its magic. For Aurelia, it was a heady and intoxicating experience, a rush of power and desire that left her feeling invigorated and alive. And as she worked, Aurelia knew that she was not just helping the other dragoness find release, but also forging a deep and powerful connection with Little Green.

Aurelia heard the Alpha's presence before she saw him, his deep growls rumbling through the air like the rumble of thunder. She lifted her head to face him, Little Green's fluids dripping off her chin. Aurelias dull white scales a stark contrast to the Alphas shiny brown hide. He was even more massive up close, his body rippling with muscle and his red quills bristling in anger. Aurelia could see the fire in his eyes, the raw, animalistic energy that burned within him like a living flame.

The Alpha approached her with a menacing growl, his jaws snapping shut with a sharp, angry snap. Aurelia could smell the scent of his rage, the acrid tang of it filling her nostrils and making her head spin. She knew that she had overstepped her place in the clan, A dragoness in heat belonged to the Alpha and she had accidentally challenged him by helping Little Green. In that moment, Aurelia knew that discretion was the better part of valor. She backed away slowly, lowering her head as she moved away from the Alpha, her heart pounding in her chest.

The Alpha turned his attention to the dragoness in heat who was lying on the ground, gasping for air. Her scent filled the air, and the Alpha's nostrils flared as he inhaled deeply, taking in the musky, heady aroma of her pheromones. The dragoness whimpered softly, her body trembling with anticipation as the alpha approached her. She knew what was coming next, and despite her fear, she couldn't help but feel a wave of excitement wash over her.

The Alpha growled hungrily, his eyes locked on the dragoness as he lowered his head to her, sniffing her scent and savoring the taste of her sweat on his tongue. The dragoness moaned softly, her body writhing with pleasure as he explored her with his tongue, his rough, textured scales sending shivers down her spine.

As the dragoness in heat writhed and moaned beneath him, the Alpha suddenly stepped over her, straddling her body and rubbing his massive shaft against her. He was much larger than the dragoness, and his size and power were almost overwhelming. Aurelia watched in awe as the Alpha towered over Little Green, his muscles rippling with each powerful movement. She could see the veins bulging in his shaft as he rubbed it against the dragoness, his deep growls filling the air with a primal, animalistic energy.

The dragoness beneath him moaned and gasped, her body quivering with pleasure as he continued to rub against her. As the Alpha lifted his hips, the dragoness in heat whined and moaned, her scent becoming stronger and more pungent. The alpha lined himself up, his shaft glistening with pre-cum as he positions himself at her entrance. With a powerful thrust, he entered her firmly, causing her to let out a loud, lustful cry. The Alpha's size difference over the female was significant, Aurelia noticed that even though the alpha drove in with enough force to move the female beneath him, he wasn't able to get his whole shaft into the smaller female, A few inches of his thick shaft still outside her puffy slit.

The Alpha stayed buried in the female for a while, wiggling his hips to try and get the rest of his shaft inside the smaller dragon's frame before slowly withdrawing so just his tip was inside. His shaft glistening with her fluids, with a powerful thrust of his hips he drove into Little Green causing her to cry out in pleasure.

The Alpha began to move with intense force, pounding into the dragoness with a primal ferocity. The sounds of flesh slapping against flesh fill the air as he continued to thrust into her with increasing speed and power. The dragoness in heat writhed beneath him, her claws digging into the ground as she tried to keep up with the Alpha's powerful rhythm.

With each thrust, the Alpha's shaft filled her completely, stretching her to her limits. The dragoness moaned and whimpered, her body trembling with pleasure as the Alpha dominates her with his size and strength. The air thick with the scent of sex and dragon musk, as the Alpha continues to mate with the smaller female.

The Alpha pressed down on her chest with his heavy paw, pinning her to the ground which stopped her body from rocking forwards with each thrust, allowing him to drive even harder into her. The wet sounds of their mating fill the air, accompanied by the pungent scent of their musk. Aurelia can't help but watch as the alpha thrusts in and out of the female, his shaft getting deeper with each powerful movement.

The female's juices glisten on the ground beneath them. The Alpha's breath comes in hot puffs as he continues to pound into Little Green, his shaft dripping with their combined fluids. Aurelia can feel her own body reacting to the sight before her, and she can't tear her eyes away from the spectacle.

The female dragon cries out in pleasure and pain as the alpha drives into her with powerful thrusts. The alpha takes the female with deep driving thrusts, reaching down to her, he bites down on her neck, causing her to writhe in pleasure. Her puffy vent, clinging tightly to his shaft with each forceful thrust. The Alpha dominates her completely, showing his strength and power as the leader of the clan.

The female's moans grow louder and more frequent as the alpha's thrusts become so forceful Aurelia thought Little Green would be broken. With a loud high pitched yowl, Little Green's body tensed and her toes curled as she reached her climax, causing her to arch her back and press against the Alpha's heavy thrusts. The Alpha's movements become more frenzied as he continues to pound into her, his deep growl thundering off the cave walls. With a final deep thrust the Alpha reached his climax, his shaft throbbed and pulses inside the female, pumping his hot seed deep into her. Looking closely Aurelia could see the Little Greens vulva twitching and clenching on the males shaft which was now fully hilted in her. Their deep ragged breaths dominating the sounds of the cave. The Alpha released Little greens neck and gave it a tender lick where he held her, He slowly rocked his hips against the smaller female causing her back legs to clench as he continued to unload his seed into her. Little Green's womb sloshing with the weight of the Alphas thick seed, her cervix stretched open slightly with his tip mashed against it.

With a wet slurp the Alpha pulled his softening shaft out of her, their combined fluids creating a long gooey string between them as he stood up from her. Aurelia couldn't help but be mesmerized at the sight of Little Greens gaping vent, clenching and squeezing down on nothing. With a nudge the Alpha guided Little Green onto her feet and they returned to his nest.

For the next few days, Alpha and Little Green were inseparable, the sounds of their intense mating echoing off the cave throughout the day and night as he took her again and again.


As Aurelia took to the sky she was filled with a liberating feeling, It had been months since she was taken from the palace and she still longed for Ashan. Her place in the clan was still at rock bottom with her being unable to hunt until now. Despite several advances from the Alpha she had rebuffed him each time, His size and scent radiated Alpha masculine energy she couldn't help but feel intimidated by his presence. She had observed his takings of the other dragons in the clan and he was never gentle, always exerting his dominance on the other drakes and dragonesses. The only times that she could relax completely was when another dragoness went on heat, knowing that he would not try to make a move on her while he was distracted by breeding the other dragonesses.

She flew across the desert dunes as she scanned the horizon for anything familiar to her. She was still lost in a distant territory and she was starting to loose hope of ever seeing her Ashan again. Thoughts crept into her mind about maybe letting the alpha take her, the thought of sleeping on a bed of copper pulling at her mind. Her itchy scales had become as rough as gravel. She longed for a soft bed of gold thread but was starting to forget how good it felt on her hide. She had grown significantly after her first heat, her body growing to the size of a medium horse at the shoulders and she thought that she could probably take the Alpha's shaft, although she knew it would probably hurt.

She stretched her wings out wide and rose on a thermal, looking below her purple eyes could spot a herd of goats being tended to by a shepherd. Her stomach ached, she had not had a full meal since she arrived at the cave, reduced to only getting scraps left over by the other dragons. She cropped her wings and dove down, the wind whistling past her broken horn as she reached terminal velocity. She closed her eyes and let gravity take her before snapping them open, focusing on a large goat that had straggled from the herd.

The goat never heard her coming, the shadow of her wings covering him was the last thing it saw as her sharp talons ripped through its body. She landed heavily on the goat, its body going limp under her. The shepherd cried out in alarm, raising his staff above his head. She snarled at him and leapt from the limp goat and launched herself at another, her jaws crushing its neck in an instant. As the shepherd came running towards her with his staff she grabbed the two dead goats in her rear talons and took to the sky.

Aurelia felt proud of herself as she approached the cave, the she could smell the scent of her fresh kills filling her nostrils making her lick her lips. She knew the routine of the clan and it was expected of her to bring the kills back to the clan for them to all enjoy. She touched down in the mouth of the cave and let out a happy warble, announcing her arrival. The other dragons got up as she dragged the kills into the cave, The alpha approached her and grunted with acknowledgement. He took one of the goats and gave it to the other dragons, Taking the second kill in his mouth he sat down next to Aurelia. Aurelia wasn't sure which goat she should eat, her place in the clan now not as clearly defined. She let out a warble as the Alpha continued to eat the goat, the second one being finished off by the rest of the clan. Her stomach ached and she leaned in to try and get a bit of the Alpha's goat. He let her get close and as she reached in to get a mouthful he gave her a nip on her rump. She jumped in surprise and swung a paw around at his face.

He sat patiently waiting for her, some of the goat still between his paws. She lent in again to get some food and he gave her a tender lick on her rump. She jolted back understanding, Even though she had made the kill, she was still not apart of the clan unless she let him mate her. She let out a frustrated snort, She had earned this kill and she was annoyed that he wouldn't let her have any.

Frustrated she left him and checked to see if there was any scraps from the other dragons. She sniffed where the others had eaten and noticed that there was none of the goat left. With a pained warble she looked back at the alpha, his smug expression frustrating her more and more. She felt cheated and snarled in frustration. She went over to Kind-Eyes and gave him a lick, trying to find a friend and work out where she sat in the clans pecking order. As she approached, the Alphas loud growl could be heard and Kind-Eyes retreated from Aurelia.

Aurelia tried to show affection to the other dragons, each one would get growled or snapped at by the Alpha. It was clear to him that her body was healed now that she had brought him a kill and he was determined to have her submit to him. He had waited months for this moment and he used his dominance amongst the clan to teach her that if she were to stay, she had to be one of the clan.

Aurelia was angry, frustrated and hungry. Having flown most of the day hunting and had brought back two kills for the clan her eyes were slits as she growled at the alpha. He calmly walked over to her and guided her out of the cave. The sun beat down on her as he sat at the mouth of the cave and looked at her intently,

She got the message loud and clear. Either fuck, or fuck off.

With a huff and a snap of her jaws she took to the sky, The Alpha's attitude was a fair cry from Ashan's gentle touch and she knew that if she stayed she would just be submitted to his desires. She decided she would take her chances with the desert, now that she could fly and hunt she took off in search of the herd of goats. Hoping that the shepherd's guard would be down.

She continued to fly in the direction she hunted earlier, the sun was starting to get low on the horizon and she knew she would have to land before it got dark, there was still no sight of the shepherd and his herd but she continued undeterred. A large ridgeline was on the horizon and she figured it was probably a safe place to nest for the night if she didn't find anything better.

With an angry roar she gave up on looking for the herd, wherever they had gotten to was a mystery to her. Her stomach ached and her scales itched like something chronic. Maybe sharing the nest with the Alpha wasn't as bad she thought to herself. Going back though would mean taking a hit to her pride, something she did not want to do right now, Maybe tomorrow she thought. She flapped her wings to gain height on the ridge line and she flared her wings, landing at the crest of the ridge. The sun was now dipping below the horizon and she looked back to where she had come from. She couldn't even make out the mountain with the Alpha's cave. Turning around she scanned the horizon, her eyes going wide and her heart stopped. Her knees felt weak and her whole body felt heavy as she saw in the distance a sprawling desert city, in the center standing like a jewel was her Palace.

With a happy trill she leapt into the sky, thrusting her wings out wide she raced down the ridgeline, the updraft of the wind allowing her to pitch down and build up speed rapidly. She couldn't believe what she was seeing, her palace, her home. She pumped her wings like mad as she raced over the desert. She let out a happy roar as she flew over the roof tops of the houses. Citizens returning to their homes after a long days work ducking for cover as the white and tan dragon skimmed the rooftops of the buildings.

Tears ran down her cheeks as she took in the scents and sights of her home, the palace getting larger and larger as she raced towards it. She could hardly remember what Ashan smelt like, she could remember his soft touch and clean shaven face. All thoughts of the Alpha and his bed of copper disappearing at the thought of finally rolling around on gold sheets.

As she approached the Palace she let out a happy warble, She spotted the guards of the palace seeing her and they started to run around, their cries echoing in the night. She knew she needed a bath, the filth and dirt of the alphas cave clung to her but she didn't care, she knew her Ashan wouldn't care either. She made an adjusted to her course and aimed for the wing that Ashan's bedroom was in.

As she flew over the palace walls she spotted something that made her heart stop. Below her were figures with weapons next to one of the palaces large wooden contraptions, She saw the giant net launch from one of them and reach out to grab her , she tried to get out the way but her speed to great to perform any major turns. She roared as felt the weights of the net immediately wrap around her neck and wings. She was pulled by out of the sky by the net and came crashing down onto the pavers of the palaces entrance. Her mind went back to being stuffed into the dark sack and beaten with clubs. Her claws came out and she tried to get to her feet, the net restricting her movement. Guards swarmed her, grabbing the ropes of the net and pulling her around. Her heart beat rapidly and she let out a roar, snarling she tried to lash out at the guards. How dare they keep her from her Ashan. She felt her body starting to get tired as she thrased and twisted in the net. The guards pulled tightly on the ropes causing her to fall to her chest, the hard pavers knocking the wind out of her. Her thoughts went back to Ashan, She was so close to running her face against his clean shaven skin, she remembered how soft his hands were against her smooth scales. She let out a pained whine at the guards, she knew she couldn't get out, but wanted to hurt them as much as possible for trapping her, the thoughts of a club coming down on her again causing her body to shake and her scales crawl.

She could barely move as the net went tighter, she saw someone approach, His dark black hair neatly combed back, his black beard trimmed nicely as he calmly approached her with his hand out. He was clearly the alpha of the guards and she knew she had to dominate him in order to get the other guards to let her go. As he reached his hand forward she took in his scent and tried to snap at his hands. As she did part of her brain remembered the scent, She took another sniff at his hand and stopped her thrashing. She looked up at the bearded mans face, his eyes sparkling as he looked down at her in her dull purple eyes. Her whole body went limp as she processed the scent, His face was different with the beard but his scent was the same. She wiggled furiously as she tried to push her head into Ashan's hands. His laugh was the same as he scratched her rough scales.

As the net came off her, she knew that she was finally safe.
