Chosen By The Dragon Kings novel Chapter 68

Elora POV

I remained in the room; I didn’t want to argue, hadn’t this day been bad enough without us at each other’s throat trying to shift the blame. I couldn’t face them, not if I were just going to be ridiculed over one mistake. They made their fair share of mistakes and yet I make one and they give up on me. I wasn’t sure how long I was in the room, but I eventually fell asleep everything becoming to much. I was mentally drained, I had enough. It was late in the night when I woke to the door creaking open. Light from outside creeping into the room making my eyes flutter open before feeling the bed dip beside me.

Warmth enveloping me as his arms wrapped around me pulling me flush against him. Hearing him sigh before pressing his face into my shoulder. “I know you’re awake” His voice rough next to my ear.

“Yeah, because you woke me” I mumble.

“Why are you hiding in here away from us” Silas questioned. I didn’t bother answering. He knew exactly why I was in here.

“Where is Matitus?” I ask.

“Talking to his brother, trying to figure out a plan”

“Plan?”

“Yes Elora, figure out how to bring them back, we always thought they were dead, that their human counterpart was gone once they become what they are”

“How come they are like that?” I ask curious as to why they were different, how they managed to keep themselves from turning out the way the rest did.

“Because we didn’t lose our mates, Dakari lost his first mate and left, we never saw him again after that. Slowly one by one we lost all of them, well we thought we did”

“Have you got any siblings?”

“No, Elora. I was an only child” Silas answers.

“Well that explains a lot then” I tell him. Silas huffs.

“Explains what?” He asks.

“Why you don’t play well with others. Why you don’t like to share”

“I share you and you are an only child too, Elora”

“Different upbringing Silas, when you have nothing, you expect nothing, therefore can give everything because you realise you don’t need anything”

“So, you think I am selfish?” He asks, but I could hear the smile in his voice.

“No, I am just saying you have a sense of entitlement. Ownership if you will”

“Hmm, you have an interesting mind, but your wrong I would give up everything in a heartbeat to have you”

“Except your kingdom, you said it yourself I am just a bed toy” I tell him, his words coming back to me, and the way he said it.

Silas rolls me with one hand to face him but instead, I sit up leaning against the headboard and flicking on the lamp. He runs his hand down his face.
