Chosen By The Dragon Kings novel Chapter 95

Matitus POV

I was a little startled to wake up and find Silas in bed with us and Elora. Hopping up, I notice Dragus was already awake and had gone somewhere. Looking over at Silas he was already awake, just not willing to move to wake her as she slept half across him, I chuckle when I notice she was also drooling on him she was that deeply asleep.

“Might have to get a tarp for the bed” I tell him as he wipes the drool off his chest with his hand.

“She is asleep, I sure as hell ain’t waking her, besides I don’t mind least she is letting me near her” Silas whispers back. I nod, for once she is getting decent sleep. Hopping up I chuck a shirt on, Silas watching me as I walk back out of the walk in.

“What time is it?” I ask him and he turns the alarm clock on the bedside table around. 6:30AM.

“What time did Dragus leave?”

“About an hour ago, went to the caves to check on the Dragons, they refuse to leave them”

“Probably best that way, some aren’t to stable” I tell him and he nods in agreeance.

“Are you right with her?”

“Dragus won’t like you leaving me with her” He says,

“Yeah but I am sick of being stuck in the castle” I tell him tired of this entire situation. I know Elora is scared of him, but he can’t earn that trust back if she isn’t around him.

“You alright with her or not?” I ask.

“Yes of course, but she probably won’t like it, how long will you be gone?” He asks.

“Two days, we were planning on doing this after she is has the baby, but I would rather do it before hand” He nods.

“You sure that wise, she hasn’t got long left” He says brushing her hair off her face. I know he loves her but he needs to get his temper in check, unfortunately Elora is just as strong headed as he is making them clash constantly, though I don’t blame her, it’s still no excuse for the things he has done.

“I am going to go before she brings on the waterworks and guilts me into staying” I tell him grabbing my shoes.

“What do I tell her?” he asks, and I could feel his worry about her reaction to him being left with her.

“Tell her we went to the caves and will be back when we can, if you need us send Dakari” I tell him and he nods.

Grabbing a bag, I chuck a change of clothes in it before walking over and bending down kissing her head. She shifts and I hold my breath hoping she doesn’t wake before I leave. When she doesn’t, I kiss Silas goodbye, leaving him with our mate. God, I hope I am not making a bad decision with trusting him with her, but to gain trust you need to give a little. His actions over the last month show he is trying, and something has changed in the last few days, something was different with him.

Like he was battling his own demons that torment him, he still hates Fae, but yesterday I noticed something scared him and I have this nagging feeling it has something to do with Elora, he is scared for her. I tried to pry into his head but whatever it is, he doesn’t want us to know because he has kept his walls up tighter than before.

Walking outside, I run into my brother walking out of the stables as I go past heading to the greenhouses so I can shift.

“Where are you coming back from?” I ask him.

“Them damn bloody rocks Silas had moved here from the ruins, heavy bloody things. He has done alright with them though, Aldrin was excited when he saw them yesterday”

“Why he move them again?” I ask.

“They are nearly done, he wants to replace the fountain out the front, you will be shocked when you see what he did with them, I am little shocked myself considering how much he hates everyone” Dakari says and I nod.

“Where are you off to?”

“Caves, hey do me a favour and keep an eye on Silas, I won’t be back for a couple days”

“What about Dragus?”

“He is already over there”

“You sure that is wise, leaving her with him I mean”

“He won’t hurt her, at least not intentionally”

“Yeah, intentional, or not probably best he doesn’t hurt her, especially given she can give birth any day now”

“Are you going to do it or just give me a lecture”

“Both, I will keep an eye on her, but he touches her you will be coming home to one mate not two” He warns me. I nod, I knew I could trust him with Elora and Silas and one plus side was out of everyone, Dakari doesn’t fear him so wouldn’t hesitate to step in if needed.

“Thanks,”

“Enjoy, try get some sleep there baby bro, you look like shit” He says patting me on the back.

“Yeah impossible to sleep with her, seriously who has anxiety while asleep” I ask shaking my head, her nightmares and panic even while sleeping made it near impossible to get unbroken sleep.

“Come get us if she needs anything, or anything happens”

“You know I will” Dakari says walking toward the front of the castle while I walk toward the greenhouses out back in the far paddocks. Now to find Dragus and hope he doesn’t kill me for leaving her with him.
