Chosen By The Dragon Kings novel Chapter 72

Elora’s POV

The next two weeks passed by quickly, Silas and Dakari had been busy trying to figure out what to do about the other dragon’s that had been lost to the curse upon them. Dakari seems to think that when their mates died part of them died with them and that’s how they became the monsters they turned into. Dakari also seemed to think that it wasn’t my magic at all that changed them, it was my blood which at first didn’t make sense because only one of the two dragons bit me, the other bit Aldrin which has now lead to the theory, that it is Fae royal blood that changes them. Either way Aldrin and I weren’t willing to go out and taunt them just to be bitten so, now we were trying to come up with ways to inject them without getting to close. The dragon’s can’t fly so that gives us an advantage, but the problem is one of them knows Fae blood is the cure, so Silas is now worried we may have a war on our hands soon.

Matitus and Dragus have also been busy when they aren’t seeking me out, they have been helping with repairing the city. We now had three orphanages and two homeless shelters. The city was actually starting to resemble an actual township now. The place was flourishing, and the people were happy, giving me hope that our future is bright.

Walking through the castle, I was on the hunt for Abigail. I had to tell her Victor had finally made a sleeping remedy for Claire. Claire has been suffering terrible nightmares and Dakari came to ask if there was anyway, we could help her, so I sent him to Victor. He was as close to a doctor we were going to get, although victor to had been rather busy training those who were willing to learn how to make medicine and what they were used for. He had so far 9 apprentices all eager to learn.

Walking into the kitchen I spot Abigail helping Marian sort vegetables they picked this morning.

“Hey Abbie, Victor wants you to go see him, he made something to help Claire sleep” Abigail looked up excitedly, she looked exhausted from the sleepless nights spent with her daughter. We tried to insist she take some time off, but she refused wanting to help where she can.

“Oh, thank the heavens, I hope it works. I don’t think I can go much longer without sleep” She says.

“Go home, we don’t need you here. Get some sleep and spend time with Claire” I tell her. She shakes her head.

“Go on love, you need it” Marian try’s to tell her.

“I will make Silas fire you if I have to” I warn her. She hangs her head.

“Fine, but only a day or two. Okay” I nod anything was better then nothing. I watch Abigail duck out of the kitchen going to See victor.

“How are you feeling, you don’t look any better. Still been feeling crook” Marian asks. I was also exhausted. I dreaded night. I had nowhere to hide and the lack of sleep from the past week was starting to show. Matitus and Dragus never leave me alone. Not that I am complaining but they have been insatiable.

Marian opens up the fridge, a foul odour wafting to my nose. “What is that?” I ask pinching my nose.

“What’s is what?” Marian asks, looking over her shoulder at me.

“That smell” It was making my stomach turn violently.

“I can’t smell anything” Marian says, sniffing the air. I unpeg my nose taking a whiff. The smell making me dry retch and I pinch my nose again.

Walking over to the fridge, I peer inside. All that was in there was fruits and vegetable and cheese in this one. I unpeg my nose again sniffing the fridge before grabbing some cheese off the shelf and smelling it. Worst Idea the odour was the cheese and I instantly feel bile rise. I drop it running for the sink only just making it before I empty my stomach. Marian squeals rushing over.

“Shit love, are you alright?”

“The cheese its off” I gasp, and she picks it up sniffing it, while I continue to spew.

“Smells fine to me” She says, and I look up as she breaks a piece off and pops it in her mouth. The sight of her eating the curdled cheese makes me throw up again.

“Tastes fine too, maybe your coming down with something” She says, putting the cheese in the fridge and closing the door. I wet my face and drink water straight from the tap to rinse my mouth out. I felt hot , really hot and start pulling off my coat.

“Elora its freezing in here, leave it on” Marian argues, trying to push it back up on my shoulders.

“No, I am hot, I need it off” I tell her, and she reluctantly removes it for me while I remain over the sink worried about throwing up again. When the urge left, I finally stood up.

“Maybe you should go lay down” She says worriedly touching my head.

“You do feel a little warm” Marian muses.

“I’m fine I just need some sleep, maybe a shower first”

“I will go see if I can find the kings-”

“No, no I am fine” I spit out quickly, knowing I will just end up underneath one of them and I really didn’t feel like sex right now. That was the last thing I wanted. Marian helps me to the room and I quickly race to the shower, stripping off and hopping in. The water was soothing and now I was out of the kitchen, my stomach was starting to settle.

Hopping out I wrap myself in a towel. I groan when I see Dragus and Matitus sitting in the room. I quickly shut the bathroom door locking it before one of them knocks on it.

“Go away my muffin shop is closed” I tell them. I hear them chuckle and knock again.

“You can’t hide in there forever little one” Dragus voice rings out on the other side of the door before I hear him laugh.

“I’m not coming out, I’m sore, I feel sick and-” I ran out of excuses, but they seem good enough to me.

“I can make you feel better” Matitus says. I groan they were impossible. Suddenly I feel arousal through the bond.

“What are you doing?” I ask, as another wave hits me.
