Chosen By The Dragon Kings

Sixty Seven

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.”

“I know that Matitus geez”

“You knew that? Okay then, where were you going?” This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I…I don’t know exactly, the caves under the mountains” I force out before sighing even my answer

sounded ridiculous. We didn’t have plan only to get away from the dragon kings, and those frightened

jumped at the idea.

Dragus scoffs making me look at him.

“The mountains really, you would have been walking straight into their den. I can’t believe you did this.

And what about us? Were you just going to leave and never return?” Dragus asks.

“I didn’t want to make you choose” I yell at him.

“Choose what? you belong here with us” Dragus retorts. My eyes dart to Silas before going to the roof.

“You thought we wouldn’t choose you?” Matitus asks.

“No, I just didn’t want to put you in a position to choose”

“We wouldn’t have had to because you wouldn’t have been allowed to leave” Matitus yells, his eyes

flickering dangerously. I could feel his rage through the bond. Matitus was never angry like this, not at

me. I could feel his hurt like I betrayed him by leaving, and Dragus was the same. The one that seemed

almost calm was Silas. Probably because he had already scolded me.

“Argh” Matitus screams his fist clenching like he wants to punch something.

“Get her out of my sight I can’t fucking deal with her right now”

“You can’t deal with me?” I scoff.

“No Elora, because I now have to notify the fucking families of the people you just got killed” He

bellows. I didn’t see why he was acting like this when they have killed hundreds of people before.

“Your pissed off because two people died by my hands, yet how many have died by yours?” I ask.

“You wanted us to fix the city, wanted us to change things and we did. No one has died since your

manifestation. No one, that didn’t deserve it. You are in charge for not even twenty-four hours, and you

kill two people, you broke your own fucking rule” Dragus says.

I was done arguing, we were never getting anywhere. I fucked up, but how many times have they

fucked up and I was the one that copped the consequences then forgave them?”

“So, it’s okay for you to fuck up, but not me huh” I ask. Matitus growls but I don’t wait to hear their

answers instead, walking to the door. I pull on the handle but its locked remembering that Silas locked

it.

“Don’t walk away Elora” Silas says, but I was done listening to them.

“Elora” Silas warns when I don’t turn around to face him, two seconds ago Matitus wants me gone, now

I try to leave, I being told to stay. Enraged, I smacked the door with my palms in frustration not

expecting to blow the door to smithereens. The wood splintering off as they ripped off the hinges.

“Elora” Silas bellows.

“Woops” I mutter ignoring them and walking out of the room. I hear things being broken behind me but

don’t even bother looking back instead heading for our room. Walking up the stairs I walk in and shut

the door. Now I was doubting everything including myself. I knew I fucked up, knew the moment I first

laid eyes on the broken one which turned out to be Matitus brother.

But I couldn’t help but feel we learnt a lot by my mistake, that without me messing up, we wouldn’t have

known the Broken ones could actually be fixed, that they actually aren’t broken that beneath the beast

is still a man or woman trapped in the confines of themselves, just a little warped and twisted, but not

truly broken.
