Rudra 9 years old
It's a stormy night. Watching the rain hitting my window so violently that could break into millions of pieces at any moment. To be honest, that how I like it. I love harsh weather, lighting, thunder, blizzards you name it. It makes me feel alive, keeps my heart pumping. I sometimes send servants outside, when the weather is like this, when they do something I don't like, disobeying my orders or just for hell of it if I get bored. I love the look on their faces when I do that. Their fearful faces, pleading look in their eyes, their pitiful existence. I love it, knowing their mercy is in my hands. I love to watch who will stand the longest and who ever the last person stands, I'll let them watch, actually scratch that, force them to make two choices. Its either they watch their colleagues and friends get killed one by one by my own hands or the survivor kill them. Personally l like them to watch me kill them so that the person know that I will always be their mercy and their life in my hands knowing that I have the power if I want them to live or die cause I don't like having weak subjects in my kingdom. I despise the weak, they are burden to my kind.
People call me sick, wicked, twisted or sociopathic. I don't give two shits what they call me cause no matter what they say, they can't do nothing about it if they value their lives. Even my own parents won't stop me doing what I want to the servant as long as it doesn't affect their lives. Don't get me wrong they try to tone down my violent activities, shall we say, and send me to witches, healers and even warriors to tame my violent side but I just killed them or mutilate them and send some of their body parts to their families or close ones and some of them were class as one of the strong ones but of course not as strong as me though cause if they were they could of make me stop. You must be wondering why I'm so strong? Well I'm a hybrid, a dragon from my mum side and a Lycan from my father side. My mother is the queen of dragons and my father is alpha king of the Lycan so you can say that I come from a powerful stock. They are fated mates. They were ment to be together. I don't believe in fate. I think it's a load of bullshit.
A knock on the door interrupted my train of thought.
"What"
"Your highness, king and queen requested your presence and wanted you to meet them in the King's office." A servant said with tremor in their voice.
Uh what they want now?
"Tell them I'll be there soon."
"Of course your highness"
I heard their leave after that. I guess I got get ready and see what they want. I did my business and left my room to meet my parent.
When I got to my dad office I just walked straight in without knocking. I don't see the point of it if they know I'll be coming anyway.
Father wasn't surprised by my action and my mother just had a looked strain on her face.
"You called father and mother "
"Son, we called you here because we have some news for you"
I just look blankly at him, waiting for to continue.
"First one is that you'll be betrothed to lady Raiden of the Blue moon pack" father said a stern voice. Mother looked closely at me to see my reaction to the news.
What the actual f**k. Are they insane?
"Why?" Clenching my teeth.
"Me and your mother agreed it would be good for our kingdom. Plus I met Lady Raiden St.Clear is a sweet girl, very pretty. I think the people would like her"
"Bullshit! What the real reason?" Feeling my anger boiling over at any moment. I know they lying, I can tell when people are lying. I can see my father jaw tick, loosing his patience as well.
"You want the truth boy, fine. The Blue Moon pack are struggling with rouge attacks and need financial aid with the aftermath of it. They were desperate and wanted our help. So we decided that with exchange with our help, they will let their only daughter to marry you." With a serious tone.
"WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU AGREED TO DO THAT" I can feel my eyes turning red.
"WATCH YOUR TONE WITH ME BOY" my father's eyes turning red as well.
"Enough you two" my mother said sternly. "Anyway, you will meet her cause St.Clears will be staying over in a few days, so it will give you a chance to get to know each other"
"I'm not marrying her or anyone and I definitely don't wants to know her. I don't care if you made a deal or not"
"Unfortunately for you, you don't have a choice in that matter. So I suggest you suck it up Rudra. We all have to make sacrifices" said my mother leaving no room for discussion.
"Well now that's sorted, another thing we want discuss with you is that we had a invitation to go to an auction and you're coming with us. We'll be leaving tomorrow" my mother giving me don't argue with me look.
"Fine, any else or can I leave now?"with a grumble.
"No that is all. You are dismissed " with my father waving one of his hands to me to leave while my mother massaging his shoulders for comfort.
I left after that and to be honest, I'm looking forward to going but I don't know why though. It just feels like I need to go. Even my dragon feel that he needed to go too. He's actually excited about it. I can feel that he actually had a smile on his face which is unlike him.
