The Dragon Lord's Spoils

987 Views · Ongoing · Marianna
Natalie Vane once trained at Osland’s Military Academy. Then her father was hanged for “treason,” her mother died, and she was sent to a border camp to serve. For three years she lived by one rule: obey and survive. When the camp falls, a black dragon, Tempest, lowers its head to her. Silas Cross, the Dragon Lord of Obsidian Keep, sees it and takes her.

Inside his cold fortress, Natalie gets a number, a clean room, and eyes on her at all times. Greta smiles while giving rules. Kain gives orders without anger. Silas says little and tests everything. He wants to know why his dragon wants her. He demands order, silence, and control.

Natalie keeps her head down, hides her fear, and uses the one skill she still has—reading ground, routes, and men. To live, she must bend without breaking.

Will she be Silas’s weapon, his weakness, or the spark that changes them both?

Content note: light BDSM (power imbalance, control, orders, restraint).

He didn’t want a wife; he wanted a pet.
Sick and twisted.
I just had to play along until I had a chance to get away from him, and I would get that chance, no matter how long it took.


Long ago when the world was new and all creatures were created, a great war broke out between the four most powerful factions, The Dragons, The Griffins, Vampires and The Pegasus tribe. Many died in those early years, though not a single soul can remember how it began, the hatred blossoming through generation after generation. The continent was in ruins, and many lived in fear of the next attack, on all sides. The Werewolves and humans fled, wanting no part in any of it, the same goes for The Witches. No one could see an end to the terror and devastation, not even those who ruled.
That was, until my great, great Grandfather decided that enough was enough, he wanted to end the war so that future generations could live in peace, therefore the firstborn treaty was created. The treaty dictated that the firstborn, be it a girl or boy, will go and live with one of the other factions, learning their ways and customs, becoming a part of their culture.
Like many before me, I ventured out into an unknown world...

I don’t believe for a second that Roman’s so-called “protection” is really for my sake. He keeps warning me about danger and enemies, trying to scare me off, but I refuse to back down. The pull between us is undeniable—intense, electric. I’d rather walk into the fire than let him go. Still, jealousy twists inside me whenever I think about Regina. I can’t help but wonder if Roman truly cares for me, or if I’m just another casualty in his chaotic world. The harder he pushes me away, the more determined I am to stay. Even if I’m scared, I have to take the risk—to see if I really matter to him.


"I'm sorry, for everything." His voice was sincere and his intoxicating breath brushed against my face and I staggered back a step. "I know I hurt you, though, that certainly wasn't my intention but I'm trying to protect you."
"Protect me from what?" I hissed.
"Me." He said coldly. He glared back. Finally provoked.
Are you kidding me? This was his excuse? Really? I rolled my eyes and stood up, my jaw clenched tight. "Can you at least try to be original?"
"Nuru, I can't be with you, not only is it not safe for you because in my job I piss a lot of people off," he insisted, speaking slowly. He sounded annoyed."...a third of those people want me dead, half of those would do anything to get to me — even go as far as hurt the people I care about." He shook his head with a grimace.
I wondered if I shouldn't be scared that people would want to hurt me if I continued to be in Roman's presence; instead I felt uncomfortable, the thought of staying away from him would hurt me more. The idea of abandoning Roman for a lifetime without him was repulsive to me. It made me sick. There was a connection between us I was sure only came once in a lifetime. I wouldn't leave him for anything. So why should this be any different? And a smile curved my lips. He'd admitted he cared about me — not in so many words, but still I felt a surge of pleasure.
"You had no problem with being with that stupid girl, Regina," I mumbled, wondering how much of my anxiety he could read. How much of my jealousy.
His face turned cold, expressionless. "You can't seriously compare this, us... to what I shared with"

"Is this really about science, Annabeth?" he asked, and his voice had dropped lower, rougher.
I walked closer, unable to stop myself even though I knew this was a bad idea. My hand lifted almost on its own, reaching toward his chest, and I placed my palm flat against his skin.
"Shit," he muttered, his voice rough. "Don't do that."
"Why not?"
"Because you don't know what you do to me when you touch me like that." His hands closed into fists at his sides, trembling with the effort of keeping them there. "My control is already shit when you're around."

In the heart of a realm where fire and ice intertwined, Razel soared through the molten skies, his scales glistening like jewels under the sun. He was a fierce dragon, proud and untamed, guarding his territory against those who dared encroach upon it. But when a formidable warrior princess named Zariah entered his domain, the world shifted.

Zariah was a vision of strength and beauty, her raven hair cascading like a waterfall of darkness. With a sword that shimmered with magic and a heart emboldened by her relentless spirit, she stood fearless before Razel, ready to confront the ancient threat that loomed over them both.
As they faced each other, the air thickened with tension, crackling with the promise of destiny. “You think you can intimidate me, dragon?” Zariah challenged, a playful glint in her emerald-green eyes. “I have faced monsters before, and you are no exception.”

“Is that so, warrior princess?” Razel’s deep voice rumbled like thunder, a teasing growl escaping his lips. “Perhaps you would like to find out how warm my flames can get.”

Zariah’s breath hitched at the sultry tones of his words, her pulse racing with both fear and exhilaration. “I’m not afraid of a little heat,” she replied, stepping closer, her body taut with anticipation.

After devoting seven years of my life to loving a man, I ended up receiving a painful breakup on my birthday. This shattered my reasoning, and in a haste to escape reality, I ventured into a town rumored to be the lair of the Devil, but little did I know that it was actually the lair of Dracula.

"Excuse me, my beautiful lady," he said. “Can I sit beside you?” He asked politely.

I was too flustered to reply, and my heart raced when he smiled at me. I felt a flush of embarrassment tingling my cheeks as he called me a beautiful lady, a phrase I hadn't heard in ages. Unsure of how to respond, I awkwardly shrugged my shoulders, gesturing towards the empty chair beside me.

“Thank you," he said appreciatively and sat down. “I believe we'll discover a lot of things together,” he murmured under his breath.
