Chosen By The Dragon Kings novel Chapter 79

Elora’s POV

Dragus moves helping him stand, he looks around frantically as Dragus grabs his arm holding him steady. Silas growls when the man reaches for me, scared out of his mind by them. He starts hyperventilating and I grasp his face between my hands. Silas rips my hands away from him and was starting to anger me with his possessiveness.

“Dragus is just going to take you, to get some clothes and something to eat maybe a shower too” I tell him looking to Dragus who nods. I could feel through the bond he held no ill will towards him though Silas was a different story.

He wanted to kill him for some unknown reason. The man looks between Dragus and I before nodding and dropping his head.

“I will come see you in the morning and we will talk, I want to know about the others out there”

“Yes, my Queen” He says.

“You can call me Elora, no need for titles” I tell him.

“No, he can’t. He will address you properly” Silas snaps at me. I glare at him before nodding to Dragus to take him because I knew things were about to turn ugly between Silas and myself.

I watch as Dragus leaves, he stops at the stable door looking back at me worriedly, like he didn’t want to leave me with Silas, when Matitus suddenly barges through the door in panic, having woken up. Great now I had to deal with his wrath too. I pinch the bridge of my nose already exhausted, and we hadn’t even argued yet, but I knew it was coming because Silas anger was festering and building into a storm within him, so hot I was surprised he didn’t combust and having steam blowing out his ears.

Matitus was no better as he stalked towards me before pouncing on me, grabbing my arm, and ripping me toward him.

“What the fuck Elora, I told you not to come down here and you fucking disobeyed me” Matitus yells in my face, his grip burning into my skin as the room heats. What is it with them and grabbing me, for weeks we have been good and now they think they can lay their hands on me in anger? My own rage building at the way they were scolding me, and I let my magic loose, letting the current run over my skin. Matitus shrieking as its zaps him forcing him to let go.

“You don’t get to touch me like that, not anymore. I am not some thing to be handled by you” I snap, stepping forward and pointing my finger in his face, he grabs my hand.

“Fucking try it Matitus, I fucking dare you” I tell him, warning him. His eyes flickering as his dragon wanted to take control. He growls the temperature rising as he takes a step forward.

“Enough Elora, you don’t speak to us like that” Silas snaps at me. I scoff at his words.

“But it’s okay for you to talk to me like that?” I ask, folding my arms across my chest.

“I just got burned because of you, how else am I supposed to react, you put our child at risk coming here, put yourself at fucking risk”

“Exactly how were you planning on changing him if I am not allowed near him?” I demand.

“With Aldrin, now I need to catch another one” Silas snaps at me before stepping forward.

“You are not catching anymore of them, he was petrified of you, what the fuck did you do to him that had him that scared. They aren’t monsters Silas, they are dragons like you, real people under all that, whatever it is” I yell at him.

“He fucking bit me, so I tore what was left of his wings off” He says, and my mouth falls open at his barbaric torture to get the man to comply.

“Don’t look at me like that, they will grow back after few years, fucker shouldn’t have bit me when I grabbed him”

“That’s fucking disgusting you can’t do that”-

“We are running out of time, they will come for you and Aldrin, in that state they don’t think, their dragon does, they aren’t even remotely human in that state Elora and you need to start doing as your told, I am sick of you defying us, sick of you choosing everyone else over us” Silas screams the logs in the firepit catching alight from rise in temperature.

“You don’t get to decide what I do, not anymore, not now. Why can’t you see that?” I tell him.

“Do it, go on Silas, do it and I will gladly show you, where your place is” I tell him my gaze unwavering. He growls next to my ear, his nose running along my jaw.

“Silas, she is pregnant” Matitus tells him. He doesn’t let go instead stepping closer pressing his body against mine.

“Silas” Matitus growls my eyes darting to him behind Silas as he steps forward. Silas runs his nose down the side of my neck before kissing my mark. A deep throaty noise rumbling from chest before he lets go, stepping back. Yet I could feel through the bond he was still raging. He was angry but didn’t want to hurt me but at the same time that’s all he knew how to do, to get his way.

He walks out the stable doors, not looking back heading toward the castle. I see burns covering his entire back slowly healing but still visible.

“You need to get inside before you get sick” Matitus says with a sigh running his hand through his hair. He offers me his hand, but I ignore it and walk outside heading for the castle, the snow making my toes numb as I trudge through it. The snow so much thicker and higher, as it continued to fall some part up to my knees and my bones were starting to ache and my muscles lock up. Matitus watching me struggle, walks over grabbing me, pulling me against his hot chest. I press my fingers against him, and he flinches from how cold they are.

“You are freezing” He says kissing my cheek before wrapping my legs around him and pulling me against him, lending me his body heat. I place my chest against his and my face trying to warm myself. Now that my own anger had diffused, I felt like a bitch, especially seeing Matitus trying to keep me warm even after I yelled at him.

He walks upstairs to our room before walking into the bathroom where I could here, the shower running already. Silas was standing under the water, his back to us before turning around. My teeth were chattering my feet had no feeling and I wouldn’t be surprised if they changed colour. Matitus places me on my feet, and I strip my clothes off when Silas reaches out the door grabbing me, pulling me under the water.

The rapid temperature change burning my skin making me cry out, he adjusts the temperature letting the water cool slightly, before wrapping his arms around me, his hands rubbing up down my sides warming my skin. Matitus slowly adjusting the water temp till it was eventually hot and I could stand the heat. My body feeling like it was thawing out. Silas kisses my temple before kissing the side of my mouth.

“I’m sorry,” He whispers against my lips.

“I’m sorry too” I tell him kissing him and wrapping my arms around his neck.
