Elora’s POV
We found everyone in the dining room. They were all excitedly chatting away reminiscing old times, that Abigail and I weren’t alive for. Abigail had a huge grin on her face as she watched and listen, and I noticed no matter how many times Dakari would have his attention drawn away by Matitus or Dragus, his eyes would always go wandering back to her. Silas steps closer, his lips below my ear.
“I think something might be going on with them two”
“Dakari and Abigail?” I ask. Silas kisses my shoulder.
“Lets test that theory huh” He says making me look back at him over my shoulder, he had a silly grin on his face, and I could see he was enjoying Abigail’s and Dakari’s reaction to each other.
“Who do you think you are cupid?” I ask him. Silas laughs, shaking his head before speaking.
“Abigail” Silas says in a stern voice. Making me wonder what he was playing at. Dakari eyes go to Silas before darting to Abigail. While poor Abigail pales thinking she is in trouble. Everyone staring at Silas wondering what he is going to do, while my eyes were on Dakari who looked like he was about to jump over the table and throw himself in front of her to protect her.
“How is Claire?” Silas asks no anger in his voice turning all sweet all of a sudden. Abigail blushes before fumbling over her words.
“Right, I should get back to my daughter, if you’ll excuse me” She says about to leave the room. Dakari stands up, a panicked look on his face as she goes to leave.
“You have a daughter?” he asks curiously, and Abigail stops, turning back around to face him. I actually started to panic wondering if that would create a problem that she had a daughter.
Abigail nods. He seems to think for a second. “I can walk you home” Dakari says pushing his chair in and walking over to her. Abigail stares up at his tall frame before looking to me nervously, all while Silas thinks what is happening is hilarious and can’t seem to wipe the grin off his face.
“Wait you don’t have a husband, do you?” He asks and I could tell he just realised if she had a kid that could mean she had a husband too.
“No, he passed away” She said her eyes going to Silas making me wonder why they darted to him. I knew the dragon kings had something to do with her husband’s death, but I thought it was strange how her eyes went directly to him. Dakari loops his arm through hers like they are some married couple walking toward the door.
“Dakari are you forgetting something?” Silas asks and he turns around looking at him questionably. Silas looks down at him my eyes following Silas’s and I feel my face heat when I realised Dakari was still completely naked.
“Oh right, can I borrow some clothes?” Dakari says pulling Abigail in front of him like a shield, her face turning crimson at having a naked man’s junk pressing against her back.
“I can get you some” Abigail says looking up at him over her shoulder. He nods once before turning her with him and following her down the corridor. I shake my head.
“Give Abigail till morning before she comes back marked and mated” Silas says, and I turn to Dragus and Matitus. Now that they were gone all attention was back on me and I could feel their scrutinizing gazes on me, the earlier excitement long forgotten. I was hoping with the distraction it would have gave them plenty of time to forget my escape.
Matitus folds his arms across his chest glaring down at me. I hear Silas move behind me and panic runs through me when I watch him walk over to the double doors in the dining room, closing them and locking them. My heart rate skipping a beat as I face them.
“Do you have any idea the stupidity of what you did?” Matitus yells at me.
I flinch back at his anger. “Two people died because of you; you realise that?” Silas asks walking over to me. I suddenly felt cornered.
“You think I don’t know that? I watched them fucking die, if you three had of told me what’s out there I never would have left” I argue back.
“We agreed to let you run things then the first chance you get you ran. You want to rule means you have to think before you act Elora.”
