I'm not going to lie, but being the guy who is born in the family of dragons, has it's perks. Apart from the hot looks and my bank account that could attract any banker; I enjoy torturing souls for a living. Especially, when one crosses me the wrong way. Now, just because I'm a dragon, doesn't mean I'll burn the f^cker alive.
No. I only use my fire power when they've truly p*ssed me off.
Unfortunately, due to a bad battle with a warlock two hundred years ago, my inner dragon is currently asleep. Hence my 'flame thrower' is currently out of service. It only works when he's awake.
Since my inner beast hasn't woken up, I get in a rather p!ssy mood. Why? Because every two years a major tournament is held in a secret location where all the high and powerful dragons from across the world gather. It's known as the Arena. This is were determine who is ranked the strongest. I was currently ranked at number 18 out of 350 dragons, two hundred years ago, but someone else has taken my spot.
Before you go guessing it's Roman or my best friend adoptive brother since the third grade Jason. It's not. In fact it's none of the Verrono clan house. Mother used to be fan of the tournament when dearest father was number one, but now she just frowns whenever she hears about it.
Mother has tried to steer clear of the dragon world now that she runs an Rose Moon Empire along side with me, Roman and our sister in training Petra.
I'm still puzzled as to why she's taken in a 'lamb' out of the blue?
She wasn't the type to feed of humans. She relied more on blood banks.
The club doors opened up, and I vanquished my thoughts about the human girl that came into mind. My attention was now focused on a guy wearing his out walked a guy with two girls under his arm.
Ah, here's the traitor my brother made a mistake in hiring. I watched him cross my path, wearing his white dress shirt, followed by some black pants and dark alligator boots. I smoked off of my cig, before flicking it away.
"Sean Deluca." I called out his name, with a puff of smoke.
The foolish one then froze by the sound of my voice, and ceased his laughter with the horny wasted club girls, that thought he was going to have fun with tonight.
Sean nervously gulped and pushed the girls towards me as a diversion.
This pr!ck.
The girls yelped and I quickly cast them to the side and invoked my telekinesis powers. Other perks of being a dragon, I posses inhumane powers.
I gripped Sean by the neck and bashed him up against the nearby building wall. Sean groaned out in pain hitting the floor as the girls witnessed my sudden supernatural powers.
An alarming scream escaped from their mouths.
Luckily for me they were human.
As tempting as they looked. I didn't come here for a snack.
I came here because this @sswipe f^cked up.
I glowed my eyes silver at them easily getting them in a trance. Instantly they ceased their wild startled cries, and fell silent.
"Girls, forget what I just did, and forget about this no good looser. Head back in the club and have another round of drinks, and party till the sun comes up. You will not remember me or him, tonight."
I un-glowed my eyes and the girls turned away like zombies in confusion. They went back inside the club immdiately forgetting about my stupid mule they walked out with. I looked back at the traitor, and grinned knowing I was going to have fun torturing him.
Of course, I was going to kill him.
But first, I needed to know what this @sswipe knew.
I walked over to the traitor, and gingerly, kicked him by his torso. Sean let out a painful groan, that would take him weeks to heal.
"I-I can explain Henry!"
He stood up weakly on his knees.
"Yeah? Go ahead." I said waiting patiently, holding back to really beat him up to a pulp.
"It was Lucian! H-He compelled me to do it!"
I scoffed.
"Sean, you're a gamma ranking dragon. Compulsion doesn't work on dragons. Now, you and I are going back to the territory."
What's a gamma ranking dragon? Well Sean here used to be a human. He was more of a junkie and a low key beggar at forty something years old. One night Roman got drunk and Sean came up to him, begging him for a dollar in his desperate junkie state. However my intoxicated wild, hungry stupid brother gave him a bite instead.
You see, sometimes we tend to feed on humans, their blood fuels us more than the occasional farm or woodland animals we mostly feed off of. Of course we're not monsters like cannibals or leaches, otherwise known as Vampires. We take the amount we need from the humans, brainwash them like nothing happened and let them be on their way.
Sean got a new life from Roman, and he also ended up becoming his slave. But Sean here, f^cked up and now I'm more p!ssed of at him since he just confessed with liaising with my business rival Lucian Northman.
Sean turned on his heel and went to run. I shoved him on the ground almost making it crack. Sean groaned out in pain.
"No!!! Henry please, please I swear it was a mistake! Lucian was offering me more money for the Moon Pills. I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking, when I accepted his offer!"
That's rich coming from an ex-drug dealer.
I gripped his collar back and smashed his face angrily against the wall, letting out a low feral growl, chilling him to his bones.
Lucian that annoying Alpha ranking dragon prick was out to get me. Especially when I slept with one of his 'business deals' that was meant to go to him. Luckily for me, I turned it around.
"Well, Sean you really should have thought about that. Now that you're caught, you're going to pay for your sins."
I picked him up effortlessly from the ground with one hand, and got ready to smash his bleeding face down again.
Masochist, much? Yeah, I am and I love it.
"Please Henry!" Traitor, begged going on grovelling mode upon his knees. It annoyed me when he cried, because he knew he was f^cked, and I wasn't going to let it slide, nor giving him a third chance. No, you don't lie and steal from the Verrono clan, and get away it. Scratch free? Oh, please. Not on my watch.
"Where's my supply Sean?!"
"I-I...I sold it." His heart skip beats meaning he was lying. This sly dragon.
"You @$$wipe. You dare lie to your King!"
"No!!! King Henry please I swear I'll g—"
I placed my sudden iron hot hand on his shoulder making him scream out painfully, before I turned him around and sucker punched. Knocking his lights out.
We both knew, he was never going to get the hidden stash.
I looked at him dead in the eye, and it pissed me off that I couldn't read anything. His mind was clouded like a thick blanket. That prick, he's clearly got a spell over his head and it's not going to be easy to break it.
Knowing Sean, and how I was determined to end his life, we both knew he was going to run again.
Now he can run all he likes, so long as he's running for his life. Killing him when he least expects will be more fun, once I find out where he's hidden our stash. He'll be good as dead.

The next day.
I arrived back at the Verrono estate in the late hours of the night.
I saw my wild card brother coming out of his mansion opposite to mine.
"Evening brother." Roman greeted me as I stepped out of the car, cracking my neck muscles.
Glancing towards some guards nearby they soon came by. I pressed a button on my car key which automatically opened the booth.
Sean had been knocked out by a special serum that I jabbed making him go to sleep. I did so, so that he wouldn't try and wake up and break out of the booth.
The guards dressed in dark green uniforms then pulled his body out of the trunk.
"Get this traitor down by the dungeons, and park the car." I chucked my Ferrari keys at one of them.
"Yes Master Henry." They said then came by and went on their way, taking care of my vehicle and the traitor all at once.
"Did he give up the location?" asked Roman.
"No. But somehow Lucian has done something to his head."
"What? How is that possible?"
"It doesn't matter. Once I invoke my sandolorez I'll be able to see everything."
But in order to that, I needed to fuel up and eat. Which meant that I needed to go on my much needed hunt.
"Careful brother, your inner beast is still in a coma and you don't want to over exert yourself." Roman reminded.
"I'll be fine once I have my hunt. Want to join me?"
"No, can do. I have a hot date waiting for me back at the castle."
I smirked.
Roman had a thing for our priestess.
"Don't keep her waiting or her heat will never calm down."
"Oh, it's not a she-dragon whim I'm pleasing tonight."
Roman held a smug face and carried on before I rolled my eyes and went on my way.
Before I reached my personal mansion. My girlfriend Sasha came, in her short silky robe red lingerie. She was a supermodel with legs to kill.
She smiled seeing me and embraced me in her arms. She pecked my lips and looked at me in her usual lusty way.
"Oh, I've missed you, and I can't wait to have you all to myself tonight." She let out a sexy purr making me grin.
"As much as I'd like to please you, I'm tired and I need to hunt."
"But it's so late?" She whined, trying to entice me by rubbing her busty chest sexily upon me.
As hot as she was, I found her annoying whenever I turned her down, especially when I was hungry, and low key still moody about unable to read Sean's mind. I needed to know where that f^cker was hiding out stash. The Moon Pills were important to the clan. It helped prevent our inner beasts from getting out of control during the full moon nights.
We were hot, horny and hungry beasts on the full moon nights, and we tend to behave rather wildly.
Sasha grabbed my @ss trying to entice me.
My stomach was on the verge of grumbling and right now, I could only think of food.
A hunt would calm me down.
"Sasha behave." I smirked, knowing how much she liked me.
"Oh, ok." She pecked my lips and turned away. I spanked her @$$ in return making her chuckle.
If Ares hadn't been struck down by the warlock named Damon, or the fact that we didn't loose our true mate over two hundred years ago.
He'd be awake.
It hurt me that he was still sleeping inside of me and hadn't awoken in all this centuries.
If he didn't awaken in the next two months.
My title as the Alpha Dragon would be passed down to Roman.
Roman being my Co-Alpha Dragon refused to accept that title.
He was extremely loyal to me and tried to find a away to help me awaken Ares. He'd brought over many witches and warlocks from across the globe, but non of their spells worked. Even our priestess couldn't see a way of waking Ares up.
He wasn't dead. If he was, I wouldn't be able to use of my current powers.
But tonight.
My luck was about to change.
I hunted with my supernatural abilities to run fast and take down a wandering deer nearby.
I pulled out my claws and broke it's neck.
Whilst I was eating my raw kill with great delight. I soon sniffed the most alluring scent in the air.
I felt strange. I could feel my sleeping beast suddenly stirring inside of me.
{A} Where is it coming from?
I froze in my spot, and stepped away from my bloody kill. My eyes almost watered in excitement and relief. I could feel my other self strongly starting to wake up.
Clutching my palm upon my chest I spoke to my inner beast in over two hundred years.
{H} Ares?
{A} Yes, it's me. Quickly follow that scent!
My inner beast ordered making me remove my hand from my heart area.
He'd awaken, all due to this sweet delicious scent in the air?! I was thrilled and happy that he hadn't completely gone away.
I quickly followed the scent and soon hid behind a tree when I got closer, to that amazing alluring sweet scent.
{A} Look! It's coming from her!
I darted my eyes over towards the pleasant smell.
Pulling of her hood 'red riding hood' revealed herself.
{H} That's mother's lamb?
Ares grew silent as we took in her incredible scent in the air thanks to the gentle night wind. It was absolutely delightfully and calming from where 'we' stood.
{A} What is she wearing?
Ares had been knocked out inside of my soul for more than two hundred years. It was natural for him to find the twenty-first century clothes weird and unusual.
I made a mental note to get him updated with the new century style later.
Kiana on the other hand seemed to be in her casual lounge red sheep printed pyjamas topped with a light parka dark blue raining coat.
{A} Cute.
I could practically feel my inner beast smirking and waging his dragon tail inside my soul in delight.
He wasn't wrong, she was rather cute. I watched her in absolute secracy and discretion. She observed her surroundings and I quickly ducked my head amogst the bushes as she bruefly lookedto where I was secretly hiding from her view.
I almost smiled finding that amusing.
Soon I saw her crouching down, on the ground. Curiously watching her actions. I wondered what she was upto.
{H} She's hiding something?
{A} No. She's just clearing the fallen leaves on the ground, and she's not digging.
{H} What is she doing?
Suddenly Kiana fanned her palms out on the ground and spoke to herself.
"Let's see, shall I grow out a strawberry bush? No. Oh, Maybe a blueberry bush? Yes, that's easy!"
{H} What did she say?
{A} How can you grow something out without planting the seed or digging a hole sweetheart?
Suddenly the secret dragon behind the tree watched as she removed her palm.
Plants spurt out from the ground and grew out an an extraordinary rate.
"Oh, c'mon!!! Bluebells?! That sucks!" She sighed out annoyed.
I on the other hand looked shocked, including my inner beast who'd witnessed everything she did.
{H} What the hell?!?
{A} Is she?!
They'd never seen a witch do that before. Strangely enough, the girl didn't even reek like a witch.
I stepped closer unconsciously, and stepped on a sudden twig.
//SNAP//
Kiana gasped and turned around quickly grabbing a nearby log.
"H-hello?" She called out with a nervous stutter, as she darted her beautiful midnight eyes back and forth.
{A} Hello *sexy growls*
{H} Now, now Ares, let's behave ourselves.
I couldn't help but smirk as I'd quickly hid behind a tree again. I could hear her startled heartbeats from where I stood.
{A} Henry I wish to get closer to her.
{H} No. She'll see us.
{A} She won't if you turn invincible.
Now, there's a thought.
I shook my head, I really, really shouldn't.
{H} You know that's forbidden Ares, and we only use that power when we are fighting our enemies. She's not our enemy.
{A} I know she's not. But Henry If I don't scent her, I won't calm down!
Ares my beastly side argued and I cursed at myself. If only I had a Moon Pill on me.
At the same time. I didn't wish for his inner beast to go to sleep when he'd just awoken.
This was bad, if I didn't calm my beastly anxious side down, he'd no doubt take over me and I have a bad feeling he'd frighten the poor girl if he truly took over.
I closed my eyes invoking my special ability and just as the curious girl drew closer to where I was I quickly turned myself invincible.
