The Mc was born a Mate to every dragon. They fight for their mates and when they meet them they feel emotions. They then begin a claiming process and marking territory. This chapter was trying to explain that... it's a bit clearer in novel.
** spoiler alert for some more context.**
The family was killed in order to get to the MC. If i remember correctly.
But if MC isn’t ML's mate then his real mate exists and that has to be the most unlucky person ever. MC and ML already have a real connection and they will for sure become real lovers. Imagine being fated to be the third wheel, that’s another kind of unlucky.
