Drakn looked over the warriors training in the field; they were the best of the best, that's why they were here. Normally he would be down there with them but being King he was to rule the people not fight for them. It had only been just over a week since he last fought and he missed it already. Being King was a lot more speaking and thought then it was hands on. Drakn still waited for word from Axe on finding a Queen but so far nothing. Drakn had fed from a Chosen last night, taken blood and other things from her. She was beautiful; they all were, expertly trained in pleasing a man in everyway. Drakn went into his bedroom and paced a little, he was restless, even after feeding. A pounding on the door stopped him mid pace.

"My lord!" A guard called and Drakn growled then went to the door.

"What is it?" He asked opening the door.

"We found a few civilians in a lesser compound. One of them is alive, a female pre transition." The guard said and Drakn nodded a little.

"Show me to her, I'll see what I can find out." He said then followed the guard through the basement to the medical room. The castle healer was looking over the female. She was petite, dressed only in a ripped and dirty white slip. She was covered in bruises, cuts and dirt. Drakn winced a little thinking of the salt that could be in the dirt which would mean she would have scars. Moving closer Drakn looked at her face and froze. She was stunning even with the marks on her face. Dark reddish hair tumbled on the table, her face was perfectly formed, her lips were swollen from hits and were split and dry looking but for some reason Drakn wanted to kiss them anyways. Shaking himself Drakn watched as the healer looked over some of her wounds.

"How bad is it?" Drakn asked and the healer shook his head.

"She's pretty bad, so far it just looks like external wounds but I'll have to examine her some more. She hasn't spoken or opened her eyes since she was brought in here." The Healer said and Drakn nodded.

"I'll wait outside. I want to know the moment you're finished." He said then took the guard with him to the hallway.

"Tell the doggens I want a guest room readied and any clean clothing they can find for her." Drakn said and the guard nodded before going off. Drakn passed for a while then just leaned against the wall. He couldn't leave he needed to know how she was. Drakn sighed, what was wrong with him, he didn't even know the female and yet her well being meant everything to him. The healer came out and Drakn stood up straighter.

"Her vocal cords have been damaged, but other then that it's all external as far as I can tell. She is close to transition though, within the next full moon I would say." The healer said and Drakn nodded a little.

"I want her moved, carefully to the guest room the doggen's have prepared. Until she wakes, you are you watch over her and tend to her wounds." Drakn said, the healer nodded and Drakn went to his office. Sitting at the desk he looked up as Axe burst into the room.

"I found you a mate, my lord." He said grinning; looking up Drakn smirked a little.

"I think I may have beaten you to it." He said and Axe looked at him.
