Chosen By The Dragon Kings

Sixty Six

Elora’s POV

Aldrin takes a stance in front me, his whip in hand. I feel my magic flow, as it charges at us. But I wasn’t

even sure what I was doing and would need to rely heavily on instinct. Abigail blasts it with her magic

making it hit the ground. The half Dragon shifter gets to his feet before whipping his tail at us knocking

me off my feet before I could react. Beside the scales and tail he looked like a man.

He roars loudly before lunging, just as I lifted my sword, he lands on me, the blade slicing through his

torso, and his face twisted in pain on top of me before Aldrin kicks him off, my sword ripping from his

chest spraying the snow in blood, when we start to hear the echo of roars all around us. We were

surrounded. Worst part was we couldn’t see them. Looking down at the Dragon slumped on his side I

notice something strange my sword wasn’t enough to kill him, but he started changing, changing back

to man before more eyes. I didn’t get a chance to figure out what was going on with him before another

attacked.

Taking out Aldrin and biting into his arm. Aldrin was quick though and I could tell he was trained as he

moved his body, making me wonder what it was he did all these years in hiding. We fight them off

holding them back, but we weren’t a match for Dragon’s or even these half Dragons. I see a big ball of

red and orange heading my way and I raise my sword on instinct the blade cutting through the flames,

before purple light engulfed us. Looking up, I see that the sword acted as a shield blocking the fireball

aimed at us.

Aldrin was using his whip expertly. The whip wrapping around another beasts neck and I don’t hesitate

plunging the sword into its chest. The beast shriek falling to the ground but not before its teeth sink into

my leg. I scream out in pain when suddenly they stop advancing, and I figure this one we took down

must be the leader. The other three stop there advance staring at the Dragon fallen.

The beast screaming on the ground my legs bleeding profusely into the snow staining it red.

When something remarkable happens, it shifted back into human form, the man had skin the colour of

Mocha, pitch black curly hair and dark brown reptilian eyes as his head snapped up. His scales

disappearing and he looked normal, like any normal shifter man.

The other beasts start attacking again, and we use everything to keep them back but nothing we do

kills them, I notice the other man I stabbed in the chest was now back in human form, he had looked

familiar to me, yet I couldn’t understand why. The curly haired dark man that bit me screamed loudly

above the wind.

“Grab the Fae woman” What the hell was going on. I see a few of the humans drop when they try to

stop them turning for me. My heart clenching at the sight of my fallen people. I swing my sword at the

man who gave the order slicing him down the chest. He shrieks when the other man tackles Aldrin,

punching him in the face. I go to help him when I feel myself get yanked back by my hair.

“You’re coming with me pretty” He growls, and I throw my head back connecting with his face, just

when we hear the mightiest of roars and I see fire rain down from the sky, Silas and Matitus dragons

above us. Relief flooding me although I know I am in some deep shit when I get home. Matitus black

dragon dives down grabbing one the mutated Dragons and picking him up with his talons before flying

high and dropping him.

The ground shaking as the Dragon hits the ground. Shrieks from the other two as Silas drops in front of

us blocking them from attacking.

For the first time ever, I see human’s run behind him, shielding themselves from the dragon’s, they felt

safer with Silas the dragons they knew, then the ones trying to kill us.

A scream leaving my lips when I feel claws bite into my arm, pivoting I swing my sword. The man’s arm

slicing off at the wrist like a hot knife through butter. He screams loudly and I Duck just in time as Silas

tail whips through the air hitting him in the chest and sending him flying.

Silas growls menacingly at me and I could tell he was pissed off. Matitus lands on the other side of me

on the snow. Everyone trapped between the two dragons and their wall of scales.

Aldrin shrieks, and I jump over Matitus tail ripping the man off him who was raining blow after blow

down on him. He almost looked frenzied with the way he was punching Aldrin. We hit the snow and I

get to my feet and raise my sword about to use it when Matitus voice cuts through the air.

“Dakari?” Matitus says making me look over my shoulder and I see he had shifted back. The man I was

straddling with my sword above his head sits up, looking around my side at the name.

“Matitus is that you?” He asks in a deep voice that was hoarse like he hadn’t used it in years. I stand up

and the man sits up. It was clear they knew each other. Matitus steps forward and I feel Silas move

closer, wrapping his tail around my body like a snake and moving me underneath him between his front

legs. He looks down at me, the hot air of his breath warming me slightly under his huge, scaled head.

“Aldrin” I call to him when Silas grabs his clothes with his sharp teeth lifting him off the ground.

Aldrin’s wife screams thinking Silas was about to eat him, but he doesn’t just places him on the ground

next to her and she clutches his clothes shaking him. When his eyes flutter open, I let out the breath I

was holding. His face swollen from the relentless blows this Dakari inflicted, but otherwise he was okay.

My eyes snap to Matitus and the man who were both staring at each other like they couldn’t believe

their eyes, before Matitus grabs the man crushing him in a hug. The other man pats his back and I see

a tear slip down his face.

“Brother” He says, and I look up at Silas gold dragon confused. I didn’t know they had siblings.

Abigail climbs over Silas big tail that was still trapping me. He growls at her but doesn’t do anything

else. I assume she too, is also in trouble when he forces us home. I had no doubt he would make

everyone turn around. But after what happened It wouldn’t be smart to continue.

Matitus turns around his arm wrapped around the mans, shoulder as he squeezes it. Matitus was

completely naked standing in the snow. Abigail averts her eyes from Matitus, but I notice she openly

stares at the other man who was also regarding her, an interested look in his eye.

“Elora, this is my brother Dakari, Dakari this is my mate Elora” He introduces us.

Silas growls and Dakari looks up at him before clearing his throat and I could see the fear in his eyes

as Silas reptilian eyes watched him.

“Silas, I am sorry, but I didn’t know she was your mate” He defends himself. Silas growls his tail

wrapping around me before he places me on his back away from the man. I walk along his scales

sitting between his shoulders. I press my hands on his scales which were warm.

Matitus Shifts back and I see his brother climb up on him before he reaches a hand down to Abigail.

She shakes her head and Matitus voice flits through my head.

“He won’t hurt her, tell her to climb up”

“Won’t hurt her he just tried to kill us” I tell him. Dakari looks over at me hearing what I said.

“I’m sorry, you have no idea what it is like being stuck like that. I should say thank you, your magic

saved me I have been like that for over 70 years” He tells me, but I don’t trust him, and I am shocked at

how easily Matitus just forgave him.

“What do you mean?” I ask. I stabbed him, I would hardly call that saving him.

“Your magic when you stabbed me. I will explain when we get home. We need to leave before they

come back, they will come back Silas” He says looking at him. Silas head turning toward him, and he

growls.

Silas angry voice runs through my head. “Tell your people to climb up, we need to leave” He growls at

me. I flinch away from the anger in his words as they echo in my head.

I stand up walking along his back and down his tail.

“We are heading back, climb up on them they will take us home” I tell them. They all look uncertain but

once Abigail took Dakari’s hand and let him pull her up the rest followed. Silas flew slowly, those that

didn’t fit on them Matitus and Silas grabbed in their talons caging them in. We trekked hours to get to

where we were but were back at the castle in minutes. Silas and Matitus landed next to the green

houses letting the people stuck in their talons out before landing.

A few threw up and I felt bad, this wasn’t how I planned this to be. Matitus landing next to us and I see

Abigail talking enthusiastically with Dakari. He helped her down and remained near her. I helped Aldrin

off with his wife’s help. Silas shifting back as soon as everyone was off before grabbing me.

Everyone taking off when he growls. Aldrin looks to me panicked but I shake my head. I knew as soon

as I got back, I was going to pay for leaving them.

Silas drags me toward the castle by one arm, and I had to jog to keep up with him. When I see the

castle come into view. I watch Dragus run over, and Silas tosses me at him before stalking inside.

Marian was waiting with a pair of pants and he quickly put them on. Dragus grabs me pulling me inside

after Silas.

Dragus dumps me in the armchair in the study next to the fireplace. “Do you have any idea how fucking

stupid that was?” Dragus yells at me. Dragus never got angry at me, or hardly ever and not like this.

His arms on either side of armchair caging me in, his entire body trembling in anger.

“You could have killed everyone with you, you could have fucking died” Dragus spat at me. His anger

pissing me off.

“How the fuck was I supposed to know there were Dragons out there, none of you tell me anything” I

argue back. Silas growls behind him.

“I fucking told you it wasn’t safe, and you still went, you want to run things around here with us you

need to think things through before acting on impulse” Silas bellows at me. Suddenly the front door

opens and Dragus looks to the entry way.

“Dakari?” He says shocked as Matitus walks in with brother.

“Dragus” Dakari exclaims embracing him in a hug and patting his back in that manly way men do.

Silas leans next me his voice below my ear. “You are in so much trouble love, I am going to turn that

ass red” He growls below my ear, his hot breath on my neck making me shiver. His warm fingers

brushing the back of my neck.

“You are lucky one good thing came out of this because you risked not only your life but everyone

else’s” Silas says, before standing upright and looking towards our mates. Silas was right what I did

was reckless. His words hitting me hard.

“What? How? I don’t understand” Dragus stutters. Drawing my attention back to him. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Dakari points to me, a smile on his face. She slashed me with her sword, the magic in it turned me

back. Enzo bit her and he turned back too. Must be her Fae blood” He states, his eyes darting to my

leg which I completely forgot was injured. Looking down, I could see it bleeding onto the rug. Silas bites

his wrist offering it to me.

I push his hand away. “Do you want me to make a scene Elora” Silas says, and I roll my eyes before

grabbing his wrist and running my tongue over his bite mark.

“There happy?” I ask but he ignores me, instead peeling my pant leg up and looking at my wound

which was now healing.

“I am now, but don’t piss me off Elora. I am already in a bad enough mood. Without your attitude”

“Since when aren’t you in a bad mood?” I retort. Everyone walks down the corridor out of sight, and I

go to follow them. Standing up, Silas grabs my wrist before sitting and yanking me, so I fall over his

knees.

I try to get up, but his arm in the centre of my back holds me down.

“Silas let me up, what if someone walks in” I shriek as his hand rubs over my ass.

“I can’t believe you are actually giving me attitude when you nearly just got yourself killed, if anything

you should be thankful, we showed up, instead of acting like a brat” He says.

“I’m not, it’s your fault. If you told me there were dragons out there, I wouldn’t have left the city” I argue.

He growls lowly.

“Please Silas, don’t do this here, this is embarrassing” I tell him. He squeezes my ass hard, and I jump.

“Fine but tonight you are mine, understood” He tells me, and I nod anything to get out of this awkward

position before someone walks in. Didn’t exactly look very Queenly bent over the knee of someone with

my ass in the air.

He lets me up but pulls me toward him, forcing me to straddle him. He grips my chin forcing me to meet

his eyes.

“Why did you leave?” He asks.

“Because you didn’t want me, because you don’t want the Fae here”

“I never said I didn’t want you Elora”

“But you don’t want the Fae, it’s the same thing” I tell him trying to get up, but he doesn’t let go.

“I am sorry you felt that way, but I will always want you. Even if it means I have to put up with your

people” He tells me. Silas pulls my face closer, his lips crashing into my own and I can’t help the noise

that leaves me, loving the warmth of his tongue playing with mine. He pulls back letting me go.

“Don’t ever leave me again” He says, his intense gaze watching me, I try to look away, but he pulls my

face back.

“Elora promise me” He says when I don’t say anything.

“I promise” I tell him. He sighs before standing up.

Silas grabs my hand bringing it to his lips kissing my knuckles.

“Let go see this brother in-law of mine” He says tugging me out of the room.
