4 ❤ 🐲
The females were dresses in rugged. 7 females were inside the cage. All of them seem to have lost the light in their eyes.
They were rescued from the stray beasts , she hears a passing male says to his curious female.
Mytha return her gaze to the crowd. She didnt care much, her eyes were just looking for a probably strong enough male for her.
Shes a dragon, the very few of her kind. And now shes here, the last of her kind. Some deity must have hated her kind to punish her like this.
And theres a strong need for her to actually mate and reproduce.
Who cares if she can only have halfbloods, as long as it have dragon blood running through their veins.
Shes a pure blood dragon, even if her blood would be passed down to generation and generations, that tiny bit of blood can still be triggered.
She eyed the strongest males in the group, the more she was met with disappointment. At this point, she would just go back to the forest and mate with those huge unintelligent lizards.
She sighed. Crossing her arms.
Then a man caught her eyes. Their eyes met among the crowd. He was rugged. And he have four marks, he had a stubble growing on his chin.
His hair was grey, if she explain it in her own way. It looks like the hair of an old man, and if she take a humans perspective. This man was godly and handsome.
His skin is tanned. He was covering his chest, where 3 fresh claw marks probably from hunting was covered by bunch of herbs.
Their eyes lost contact as soon as they met.
As he tries to subconsciously look for her in the crowd. And he never saw her again.
She was already in the cave, her consciousness was already among the crowds. Studying the man close up. Squinting her eyes.
The man had wolf ears and tail, and now that she looks closely. His leg.. Was actually a bitten, .. Causing him to limp.
She watch with boredom. Somehow, this man caught her eyes.
The man, known as xarius, look among the crowd. Smelling the familiar scent of his mate.
His mate, agda, had atleast 17 mates. And she was crossing her arms in the middle of her mates. Eyeing the crowd.
Agda had 7, 4 marked males in her mates. Already a huge success for a female.
3 of her 4 marked mates went with the warriors. Including Xarius. And 2 more 3 mark males. A total of 5 males of agda came, but only two of them returned. Xarius has been trying to make do with it, so in this mating season.
Agda would be willing to mate with him and give him a cub.
Agda watch with her head raised, looking at xarius and her other male putting down the hunt they made for her.
She didnt ask them how they were. Her eyes were directed to xarius.
".. Youre lame. "
Her voice made him froze.. As he forced a smile. ".. I.. Ill be better, the healer said so. " Xarius tried to hide his limping leg.
A scorn came out of agdas mouth. Such a pity, she likes Xarius and is even willing to give him the spot of having his cub this year.
But,.. She doesn't like useless ones.
Mytha, as a consciousness. Watch with interest., looking back and forth between the two.
So he is mated, but looks like the female is not gonna keep him for long. Mytha had her own understanding of how the females here act.
Xarius lips trembled. A bit shaken. ".. I can heal.. Soon"
Agdas face just went more sour. She wave her hand. "I dont wanna be a shelter to a useless limping male. "
Her words hurt, but it was a normal occurrence.
Like any other males who were also abandoned in the same ways and another. He could even speak when she suddenly glared at him.
She had done it many times, as she grabbed a sharp stone knife and slash the his mark on her wrist.
He instantly felt his heart dropping. As he found himself unable to breath.
His eyes went blurry, then agda left with her males. Taking away the prey.
The crowd of people watch with pity, and soon returned to normal.
Males only have one fate.. And its either to be abandoned or favoured by their females.
Mytha returned to her body,.. Thinking to herself.
Hes not that strong, but something is telling her. Hes enough,.
Mytha smiles. Lazily laying down on her fur bed. Humming to herself in joy.

Unmated males, or abandoned males go in the same caves. Abandoned males can still have a chance of being accepted by another female.
Xarius has been having a fever lately. Adding the fact that the shock of him being abandoned and his wound cause him to be delirious.
4 mark males are rare, but considering agda having 5 males left that has the same 4 mark, she will have no problem in letting go of one.
He heave a sigh, groaning in pain as he felt his wounds.
For some reason, he just find himself wanting to die. What else can he live for anyway?
And he also have a green crystal, it was a gift for agda. Supposedly, yet she didnt even give him time to take a breather and unmated him.
Of course, for his selfish reasons, he wouldn't tell her or give her the grewn crystal he fought for.
His eyes were blurry, he was alone in the cave for the moment. As he felt his consciousness failing, he can eat the crystal. But somehow he doesn't want to.
Then, as if he had seen someone. He saw a pair of legs standing in front of him.
He was so delirious that he look at the female with a not ao clear gaze. He cant see her appearance.
Only her bearing was mighty and proud as she gaze down at him. She seem to smile, "why dont u eat the crystal?"
She asks softly
Kneeling down to be on the same height as him as he lean down on the wall of the cave.
His eyesight were getting more blurry. He chuckled to himself. An unmated male can no longer leave a mating mark twice.
Thats why females rarely accept an abandoned male. Cause they wont be able to trust him enough if he cheats.
"What.. Is a female like u.. Want with me" he murmured.
She smiles. "I need a mate for the mating season.. "
He frowned. "Im not.. "
She chuckles. "Im not looking for a marking" she whispered. ".. I just need a mate to have a cub with"
He stopped breathing for a moment. "Well.. Id agree.. If only im not dying"
"So u agree? " she stoppes him.
Her eyes curving with interest. "Good"
She took the green crystal from his hand. Then she put it in his mouth, the crystal melted.
And the last thing he saw was a pair of golden eyes with slanted iris looking down at him.
