Natsu P.O.V.

I felt my heart die in that moment. She called me annoying. Laxus smirked. She was definitely like Laxus. She looked so sweet and innocent, but she's cruel and mean. "I-I'm sorry."

I sulked to the bar, ordering a smoothie from Mira. I handed her the money and sipped sadly while watching Lucy entertain the Thunder God Tribe with stories of her and Laxus' adventures as kids. I didn't really care to listen. It's great to know Laxus isn't a Dragon-Slayer, though. Dragons mate for life. So if they do ever split. I could make her mine. I took a quick glance at Lucy again. "Huh?" I noticed a circle on the back of her neck. I peered closer and there was a dragon inside the circle with a lightning bolt in it as well.

"Who does she belong to?" I mumbled. I stood up. Laxus smiled at her, and she leaned on him. I walked over to her and stuck my nose in her blonde hair. "This doesn't make sense!" I yelled in frustration.

"Why are you smelling me?" She asked dangerously.

"The mark on the back of your neck. Where did you get it?" I questioned.

She looked at Laxus. He sighed. "It's the mark of our promise. What's it to you?"

"No, that's not right. You're not a Dragon-Slayer. You've been chosen to be a Lightning Dragon's mate." I stated bluntly.

She blushed madly, Laxus took her into his chest.

"What does that have to do with you smelling Miss Lucy?" Freed said. He's been calling her that out of respect of her magic skills all morning.

"She should have her mate's scent on her but all she smells like is strawberries and a thunderstorm."

Laxus visibly tightened his hold on Lucy. His eyes darted down at her, mumbling, "Mine."
