Chosen By The Dragon Kings novel Chapter 102

Elora POV

For the first time since he was born, Darshan slept through the night, so waking up the next morning I felt wide awake for the first time in ages. Getting dressed after hopping out of the shower I find him gone from his cradle. My heart skipping a beat as I race downstairs finding no sign of him or my mates. Running into Pluto who was leaving the castle carrying a huge box of coloured lights I stop him.

“Do you know where everyone went?”

“Greenhouses my Queen” He answers, and I nod following after him. Opening the castle door and walking out, I find the entire court lined with around ten huge tables running down toward the gates and one sitting across the front. The tables all decorated in white linen and rose vases in the middle. People setting up a stage next to the water fountain that was covered in a huge sheet making me furrow my brows as I walked over to it, the shape was wrong, and it was bigger. I go tug the sheet when a hand grabs my extended one making me jump. I turn to see Silas and he kisses my hand.

“Not yet, it’s a surprise”

“The water fountain?” He nods tugging me away from it.

“You like it?” He says pointing to the tables and decorations, fairy lights attached to the huge gazebos shielding everything from the sun.

“Yes, it looks lovely” I tell him just as I notice Matitus walk around the side of the castle, Darshan in his arms as he talks softly to him. My face lighting up at seeing my son. Silas lets me go and I go over but Matitus doesn’t hand him to me instead pulling away.

“Go see the greenhouses first then you can have him” He says kissing my head and walking back into the castle. Turning around I am suddenly chucked over Silas’s shoulder leaving me dangling upside down before I feel him bite my ass through my tights. I slap his in return making him laugh.

“Put me down caveman” I tell him, instead he starts jogging making me bounce up and down, my stomach churning at the motion.

“You’re going to make me sick” I tell him, and he slows before placing me on my feet. Turning around I see the greenhouses making me gasp at what they had done. Not to the greenhouses but the spare paddock beside it, it was lined with all different rides and games. People were buzzing as they set everything up and I was shocked to see how many people were coming and approaching Silas and Dragus as he walked over to us, like they were ordinary people not the feared Dragon Kings. People laughing and mucking around. Children looking around amazed at everything. My heart swelled with happiness at seeing our people so excited finding joy in today.

I watch as Silas and Dragus help set things up while I walk amongst everyone watching. My entire body buzzing with my magic under the sun and energy of the people when I get an intense urge to fly, to see everything from above. I hadn’t even checked my wings since they broke but I felt good, felt whole for once and completely at ease. But most of all, I felt strong, Aldrin seeing me walks over a huge grin on his face.

“Amazing isn’t it?”

“It is” I tell him as he falls in step with me.

“What’s up?” He asks as I look up.

“Nothing, I wanted to see it from up above but not sure if I can fly again”

“Have you tried?” He asks and I shake my head.

“I think you would be surprised, your aura is buzzing, even I can sense your magic” He says and I nod but not wanting to embarrass myself I wait for him to wander off before walking toward the farthest corner away from everyone. I strip my jumper and shirt off leaving me only in my bra and tights.

“Are you planning on doing a nude run?” Silas says and I hadn’t realised he was coming up behind me. I turn around to face him.

“No actually I was going to see if I could fly” I tell him, and he puts his head down.

“I’m sorry Elora, I truly didn’t mean to hurt you like that I only meant to grab you” He says stepping forward. I move closer putting my head on his chest, as he wraps his arms around me.

“Aldrin thinks they might have healed”

“Really?”

“Yes, he said he can sense my magic, I feel stronger” I tell him just as Dragus walks over stripping his clothes off.

“Ah what are you doing?” I ask looking around Silas.

“What? everyone’s getting naked thought I would join the party” He says.

“Go on then, I bet you won’t run all the way back to the castle naked” Silas dares him.
