Chosen By The Dragon Kings novel Chapter 31

Elora POV

Waking, I rolled over; I had the strangest dream. I know it had to be a dream because no way in hell would I let them touch me like that. Dragus once again plays with my emotions and senses. You know those dreams where they feel so real when you wake you still feel like you are trapped in the dream still. Right now, I was getting that weird sense of Deja vu. Stretching, I notice everything feels different to when I went to sleep. Rolling over, I come face to face with Silas. He moves, throwing his arm over me before nestling into my chest. Wait chest, I rhetorically question. Where the fuck is my shirt. I shove him off, yanking the blanket, trying to cover my exposed breasts. The breeze that comes with the blanket moving, my ass catches a draft I know I wouldn’t have felt if I had panties on. Looking under the blanket, I see I am completely bare. Making me gasp. It was a dream, a dream. I was so sure it was a dream. Matitus groans before yanking the blanket back. I squeal when he pulls the blanket down slightly. His eyes flutter open, and he smiles up at me.

His eyes duck down to my hands, which are covering my breasts, a smirk creeping onto his face. “Good morning, Elora,” he says before tugging me closer, making me squirm under the blanket when I feel his cock brush my leg. I spring up on the bed, ripping the blanket completely off them and wrapping it around myself. Matitus seems alarmed. Silas and Dragus both roll onto their backs before looking up at me groaning from me waking them. Silas tries to tug the blanket back, but I grip it tightly.

“Why am I naked?” I demand. Please still be dreaming, I would rather this be a nightmare than reality.

“You don’t remember?” Silas says cocking an eyebrow at me before rolling on his side and trying to tug me back down onto the bed. I pull away from him.

“No, I was asleep and You” I yelled pointing to Dragus “were meddling in my dreams again” Dragus chuckles, a grin on his face. “It wasn’t a dream. It may have started out that way, but you weren’t dreaming, quite willing in fact” he says. I feel the blood drain from my face before my eyes snap to Matitus, who is also wearing the same triumphant grin.

“You.. you were” I stuttered looking at him horrified at what I apparently allowed him to do.

“I what, Elora?” he asked with an amused tone of voice. My face heated up remembering where he had his face, I felt like I was about to die from embarrassment. I wouldn’t have minded if a hole opened up in the ground right now and swallowed me whole. Matitus moved, making me step toward Silas as he playfully tried to tug the blanket off me.

“Want me to remind you, I enjoy hearing you moan out my name” he purred before licking his lips. Silas grabs my ass through the blanket, and I jump falling over the top of him onto the floor with a thump. A squeal leaving my lips at the feeling of falling as I clutch the blanket to me spilling onto the floor in a not so ladylike manner. Silas leans over the bed, looking down at me.

“Have a pleasant trip?” he says before laughing at my blushing face. “Argh you said you wouldn’t touch me” I scream in anger.

“Hey, you started it when you were dry humping my leg,” Matitus says sitting up and looking over Silas shoulder at me. My face felt like it was on fire and I knew I was red, I could practically feel the colour staining my cheeks.

Standing up, I walk toward the bathroom. “Don’t be like that Lora you enjoyed it” Dragus calls, reaching out to me when I walk past his side of the bed. Slamming the door, I dump the blanket on the floor before looking in the mirror, my body covered in hickies and bruises. How did I not realise it wasn’t a dream? Turning the shower on, I try to wash off the evidence of what I stupidly allowed them to do. Scrubbing at my skin, hoping to erase the dream from my mind. It didn’t work and I could still hear them laughing to themselves before one of them opened the door. I didn’t bother locking, seeing as they can just bust it down. Dragus comes in before stripping his pants off, my eyes roaming his body and taking in his muscular form. He steps in and I move to the other side. Dragus follows, trapping me against the shower wall as Silas wanders in naked and hops in behind him and turns the other shower head on.

“Stay on your side, Dragus,” I tell him, pushing on his chest. He chuckles before leaning his face closer, a seductive smile on his lips and my breath hitches before he drops his face in my neck inhaling my scent. His hand trailing up the outside of my thigh to my hip. “Dragus stop, you have humiliated me enough” I snap at him, trying to shove him away.

“You have three dragons as your mates Elora, I don’t know what you’re so upset about. We will have to mate with you eventually and if this is how embarrassed you get over us touching you, I would hate to see how embarrassed you will get when we fuck you,” Silas says making my face flush again a lovely shade of crimson.

“I am not mating with you, any of you,” I tell him, trying to shove Dragus away.

“Are you sure about that?” Dragus whispers below my ear before sucking on the mark Matitus left on my neck. Tingles spread all over my body, heading south, my eyes closing as pleasure rolled over me, a moan escaping my lips as he sucked on my sensitive skin. The noise leaving my lips startled me, and Dragus pulled his face away, chuckling to himself.

“It’s the mark, the stupid bond” I stutter in embarrassment at my body’s reaction to him. Silas smirked at my excuse, a knowing look on his face. Maybe I was kidding myself, I thought. But that doesn’t change the fact that they are monsters.

“You’re monsters,” Matitus says walking in. I could have sworn I didn’t say that out loud.

“You didn’t, I have marked you therefore can now read your thoughts” Matitus answers the question I just asked myself. Matitus steps in before reaching for the soap next to me and sending me a wink. Great, now not only do I have to keep them away, but I also have to keep them away from my own thoughts.

‘How the fuck was I going to retrieve the necklace now’

Matitus looks at me and panic runs through me, shit. I think about Alphabet reciting it over and over. Matitus shakes his head and I know he is listening. “The Alphabet, really?” he asks.

“Stay out of my head” I snap, shoving past them and hopping out. Going into the bedroom, I rummage through the walk in before finding a pair of jeans and a sweater. Putting them on, I then look for some socks when I hear Matitus come in behind me, watching me with a towel wrapped around his waist.

“What do you want to do today?” he asks.

“You’re actually asking? Like I have a choice,” I tell him.

“Well, what did you usually do before all this,” I chuckle to myself, shaking my head.

“I don’t know, I did what everyone else that is forced to live in this city has to do, barter, find firewood, hide from the Dragon Kings. You know the shit you never have to worry about,” I tell him. I hear him growl before reaching for me and tugging me against him.

“I was just asking, no need to be a bitch about it” he says, before letting me go. Matitus opens the draw next to him before passing me some socks. I eye them before taking them from him.

“Sorry, I miss home,” I tell him. I do miss being on the run constantly, anything was better than being stuck here, I never thought I would miss living like that. When living it, I wished for better. Wished for boiling water or medicine for my grandmother. We were lucky to have electricity in part of the house; most didn’t even have that. But most of all, I missed my grandmother.

Matitus watched me for a few seconds but said nothing until I went to walk out.

“I will speak to Silas; I know Abigail wants to visit her daughter. I will see if he will let you go with her” I nodded eagerly, anything to get out of this castle and the memories of what Silas did the other day to those poor girls.

“Ask me what?” Silas says.

“She wants to leave the castle and go with Abigail for a few hours,”

“No, not happening,”

“We can send a guard with her” Matitus says, looking at Silas. I stare between them for a few seconds as they eye each other. My brows furrow, wondering what they are talking about. “Fine, but you run, and I will tear apart this city looking for you understood, and you stay with the guard,” Silas tells me.

I nod my head, excited I was going to get out of here, even if it was only for a few hours.

“Go tell Abigail” Silas says, his eyes going to Matitus. Why do I have a strange feeling it was a little too easy to convince him to let me go? Rushing downstairs, I find Abigail in the kitchen. She looks up when I come in before dropping her head to go over some list she was reading.

“I have some good news,” I tell her.

“What, you found out how to break the curse and free every one of the Dragon Kings?” I shake my head disappointed for a second, if only that were true.

“No, they are letting you visit your daughter, and I am coming with you, I have to take a guard though,” I tell her, and her eyes light up.

“I can see my baby?” she asks, tears brimming in her eyes. I nod and she hugs me, shocked I take a few seconds to react before hugging her back.

“Wait, when can we go?”

“I’m not sure, I can ask,”

“You leave in fifteen minutes” Silas says walking into the kitchen. “Eat first though and don’t forget a jacket. Meet Taylor at the front door when you’re done” I nod. I do not know who this Taylor person is, but I was excited to leave the castle grounds and also meet Abigail’s daughter. Silas leaves and Abigail walks over, making sure he is gone before pulling me over to the tap and turning it on full blast.

“You can escape if you give Taylor the slip,” she whispers to me and I look at her. “How?” I whisper back.

“Take the tunnels,” she says before we hear footsteps, and she straightens up and turns the tap off. It was just one of the cooks. The cook eyes us suspiciously and I grab an apple from the bowl along with Abigail. Walking down the corridor toward the front door, Dragus is waiting with a jacket and cloak. He helps me put them on and I sit down placing a pair of boots on that he brought down. Dragus then goes to a cupboard and grabs another pair when he sees Abigail only has her flats. He hands them to her, and she looks a little shocked before sitting next to me and putting them on.

“Stay with Taylor, please don’t wander off. I don’t want you getting in trouble off Silas Okay” I nod, and he kisses my head before walking off.
