The Destroyed Dragon King and His Mate

Chapter Five ... The Dinner Party Part One

*Drake POV*

"I am sorry, son, but it had to be kept from you until I knew you were ready. Grundox wanted to know if you had felt any sort of connection to your dragon. Only then can this ritual be done. It is the only way to open your senses to your spiritual side. You need blood from the current Dragon King, which is my Dragon. Grundox had to perform the ceremony ritual and bite you while releasing his blood and venom into your body. Once you have your mate by your side, then, of course there will have to be another ceremony, but you will have to train first," my father said as he unlocked my hands and feet.

I flinched in pain as I tried to get up, but I could see my wounds already starting to heal somewhat. How was that possible? "Why is my body healing so fast, father?" I asked curiously. My father looked down, and his eyes got wide. "Incredible! Your body is already forming a bond with my dragon and yours as well. You should try to speak to your dragon in your mind. If he accepts your bond, then he will be able to speak to you. Here. Take these clothes and put them on. We have a dinner party tonight that we were invited to, and we need to make sure we are there and show our attendance." My steps faltered when thoughts from my dreams surfaced suddenly. She was going to be there. I just knew it deeply. "What's wrong, son?" My father said cautiously.

"She's going to be at that dinner party." I whisper. My father looked at me in confusion. "Who?" he says. "My mate." I say, and my body begins trembling slightly with anticipation. "Are you sure?" My father says anxiously. "Yes, she told Grothet that she was forced to go to some dinner party by her parents and that she was going to be so alone. I must find her tonight. I can't let her out of my sight." I said sternly.

The anticipation was killing me. I couldn't wait to finally meet my mate. To meet the woman I never knew that I needed or wanted desperately. The one woman who was made just for me. I couldn't wait to see how she would feel close to me. Would she fit like a puzzle piece to me? The one woman on this earth who would help me find my dragon and form our bond to become one. I just don't know exactly how long this will take. I don't even know what to expect. Will I know her right away? I grab the clothes and run towards my little house to get ready. I had to shower and get dressed.

I have to look perfect for my mate. My woman. I liked the sound of that. My woman. It brought chills to my skin. I can't wait to hold her in my arms, kiss her deeply, hear her sigh softly and say my name from her lips. I couldn't wait to make love to her. I wouldn't f**k her just yet. All I wanted to do was make love to her soft and slow. Taking my time getting to learn her body from top to bottom, then inside and out. I can't wait to meet you, my little precious jewel. Something powerful inside knew that that nickname was the perfect name for my precious mate.

"You need to hurry your ass up and get ready. Go take a shower and use this soap. Try to use as much as you can. It will make you smell better than you usually do." My mother says with disgust as she turns her nose up in the air. I just grit my teeth, take the soap from her hands, and head to the bathroom. I turn the water on and begin scrubbing my body as best as I can so that the smell will stick to me. If my mother isn't pleased, she will make me shower over and over until it is perfect and I actually want to go and get out of this house. I feel like I am drowning here.

Once I am done, I wash my hair and then rinse it out. I turn the water off and get out to dry myself off. I grab the lotion on the counter that my mother left and rub it all over my body. Once I am done with that, I head back out to my mother. She is tapping her feet on the floor impatiently. "You took so f*****g long. Seriously, we are going to be late and it will be all your fault." she scoffed. I just held my tongue and waited for her to get me dressed.

I wasn't allowed to even help because apparently I would ruin the dress if I even tried to dress myself. I just shook my head with annoyance and let her do her thing, because there was no point in arguing. Once she finished, she made me sit down so she could put my makeup on and put my hair up to her liking. I felt like an imposter to myself. I would absolutely never wear something like this. I just wanted to wear something simple and pretty. I felt like a f*****g w***e with heels. Why was she going so overboard suddenly?

"There. Perfect. Let's see how long you can keep it that way. It would be a shame if you were to mess it up before we can even introduce you." she said as she dragged me out of the room. "Introduce me? To who mother?" I said cautiously. She just chuckled softly. "You will see when the time is right. There's no need to spoil the surprise too soon." I suddenly felt extremely tense and unsure. Now I didn't even want to go to this dinner party anymore.

"Stay right here! I will go get your father. We will be leaving in a few minutes." she said curtly and walked away. I just stood there with uncertainty and felt sick to my stomach. Just what did my parents have in store exactly? Who was I being introduced to and why was it so important to look like this?
