Chosen By The Dragon Kings

Eighty Six

We waited, I told Aldrin what he looked like, which was easy because King Darshan and his son looked

exactly alike, his father though was a little more brooding not that it mattered with the amount of people

in this cave, it was literally a sea of men and we couldn’t exactly go wandering to find them. I could feel

my magic getting stronger, Aldrin was right the sun was recharging us even Aldrin didn’t look so deathly

pale. His skin regaining colour as we both tried not to move, letting the sun beam down on our legs, the

warmth of it creating a warmth inside us both.

Jed had busily still been taking blood but he was becoming frustrated, because our magic dwindling

through out the night the process had slowed dramatically almost to a standstill, it wasn’t until Malika

screeched that they realised the curse was coming back which made me wonder how Pluto was fairing

back at the castle, if he to was reverting back to the way he was.

Jed however didn’t realise the scales returning on his back though we could clearly see them as they

started to return, and it wasn’t until Malika pointed them out when Jed raced to his side. He screech as

his tail returned that when they realised the curse wasn’t broken. That our blood wasn’t working the

way it should.

His anger was like a red hot poker as he stalked toward us, he grips my shoulders shaking me.

“What did you do?” I shake my head, nothing I say will make him believe me, he will just assume it was

the Fae doing like for the last hundred years they blamed us, blamed us for their own sins.

“Fix it” He screams before sinking his teeth into my shoulder, my magic faltering for a second. He drops

me to the ground and I don’t move thankful to be under the sun again, this time completely though. I

was bleeding profusely from my shoulder as my blood coated my skin. Aldrin tries stemming the

bleeding as my life’s blood leaves me. Jed gasps as my magic runs through him, the scales

disappearing as he looks up at the sun.

“Malika drink from her, we need to keep them alive if it is to remain” He says just as Malika storms over

to me his teeth sinking into the same spot making me scream as his teeth slice through my skin. Aldrin

pulling on me trying to get me out of his grasp as he drinks deeply, so much I felt the blood leaving my

body as I became crumpling heap on the floor as he drops me. Aldrin pulls me to a sitting position his

arms holding me up as I leaned on him.

More men stepping forward in panic reaching for me, reaching for Aldrin as they try to get our blood.

“It’s the curse, it isn’t broken, we can’t break the curse only King Darshan can” Aldrin yells at them. Jed

freezes looking around before his eyes go to us.

“What do you mean?” He demands as the dragons suddenly step aside letting him walk back through

to us.

“The curse was caused because of the dragons, you cursed yourselves only his sacrifice will end it”

Aldrin tells him, I could barely sit up my body going limp from the blood loss.

“You’re lying the curse was caused by that Fae bitch Blaire, everyone knows that” Jed says punching

him and knocking him to the ground. My head smacks the rock on which we lay,

“Give her blood we need her, we can’t let her die” Jed says and Malika shoves past the three dragons

that were about to attack us. He bites his wrist before grabbing my hair forcing my head back, his blood

filling my mouth healing the wound, when I grab his wrist, he seems amused for a second. Little does

he know his blood was strengthening me, giving me power the more I drink from him.

“Dragon whores” Malika says.

“She is pregnant you fool, your slowly killing her and their baby” Aldrin says getting on his hands and Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

knees. Jed stops sniffing the air and so does Malika.

He storms back over ripping me to my feet before tugging up my lose shirt which belonged to one of

my mates. He gasps before dropping me.

“You’re pregnant?” He says before pacing back and forth.

“They are going to kill us, how did you not know she was carrying their young” Malika says but he still

hadn’t moved his wrist away instead he bit his other wrist as his fear took over. He hands it to me and I

lock eyes with Aldrin who nods looking to his wrist. I grab it biting down and Malika groans, I could taste

his fear in his blood, it was disgusting, and I wanted to pull my lips away, my gag reflex kicking in from

the now foul taste of his fear. I pull away knowing if I don’t I will bring it back up.

“We leave on dusk we will have to sneak her out, they have been circling for hours already trying to find

a way in, but this makes sense now, why they haven’t entered they probably worried we are going to

kill her if they burst in” Jed says looking to the sky.

Malika nods leaving me on the ground at his feet, when I see the Dragon chained to wall watching me,

curiously. His eyes inquisitive.

“We will take her through the back of the cave as soon as the sun goes down” Jed says looking behind

us and I see a crack through the wall.

“We will need a distraction though” He says looking back around the castle at all the men. Malika and

Jed walking off when the dragons come closer again. I scream pushing back forgetting the dragon

chained to wall and so does Aldrin, I scream when one reaches for me.

The dragon against the wall lunges to attack us only he doesn’t instead his talon piercing through the

chest of the man that reached for me ripping him closer before he bites into him, half his arm being

ripped off, the noise was sickening, his blood spraying everywhere while he screamed the other men

jump back and Jed rushes forward just in time to see the Dragon eat him in another bite before I feel

heat rush past me, the dragon throwing fire toward those that approached us, his tail wrapping around

Aldrin and I pulling us back and out of the way of the flames.

Jed looks to us in panic as the Dragon shields us from him and by the look on his face, he looked like

he thought the Dragon was going to kill us too.

“Don’t move” He says his eyes darting to us. The Dragon roars loudly the noise reverberating of the

cave walls. Before a roar from outside answers, it making everyone look up, Aldrin and I look to each

other.

“Is that your kings?” Aldrin whispers before I hear a voice flit through my head.

“My son is coming for you” I look to the dragon he looked exhausted as his head slumps, Aldrin

presses his hand on the dragon trying to get up and away from him, while Jed and Malika and the rest

all start rushing around panicked, Malika shifting his eyes going to the cave entrance.

I stare at Aldrin and see a grin split onto his face, while I look at his hands covered in soot.

“Aldrin” I call just as I look down and notice the smallest fleck of gold on the dragons scales. I wipe my

hands over his scales the soot coming off revealing his scales weren’t black but gold, gold Silas, gold

of the king.

The frail man who asked about Pluto hisses at us trying to get our attention. The Dragon looks up

growling at him, but he puts up his hands in surrender.

“I mean her no harm crazy one” He says, and I realise none them knew who he was, no one had

recognised the dragon chained to the wall much to weak to do anything,

“I help you; can you take me to my brother?” He asks. I nod but he was already turning back, scales

appearing on his face.

“Quick come, come, there is a back entrance” He says waving us forward. Aldrin gets up trusting him,

like what choice did we have but to follow. When suddenly all hell breaks loose, the entire mountain

shaking rocks and dust falling from the roof covering everyone and everything as it shook violently.

Aldrin grabs my arm and we both make a run for it when the kings tail wraps around me pulling me

back to his side.

“Go Aldrin, run” He hesitates when the dragon throws fire at him, giving him no choice.

The dragon lifts his head pressing it to my stomach and his eyes looked sad.

“You’re king Darshan, my father-in-law, aren’t you?” He nods his big dragon head. Looking to the exit

when I see Jed rushing toward us while the other dragons start shifting, fighting the kings that were

ripping them out of the cave, and I see Dragus run through the entrance, his eyes instantly finding

mine. I feel my magic surge as Jed growls intending to retrieve me before I feel the cold smooth handle

of my sword slip through my fingers, my magic coming back to life. Darshan lets me go just in time for

me to Pivot my sword cutting straight down his chest making him jump back, rage consuming him as

he jumps back, before I see him suck in a breath, my eyes going to Dragus and Silas as they hear the

screech from the dragon behind me as he rips himself from his chains. Red hot heat surging towards

me before it is suddenly blocked by scales.

King Darshan blocking the flames as they hurdled towards me, a roar leaving him as he spins around

chomping Jed in half before eating him.

Everything happening so quickly, and I see what’s left of the Dragons make a run for it. He was huge,

curled up on the ground he looked like the rest until he stood taking up half the cave, but I could feel he

was weak, feel his aura dim he should have been gold like Silas, but his aura was grey, the grey of

death.

Dragons start attacking him, while I see Matitus and Silas trying to get to us and I could feel Silas

excitement through the bond recognising his father instantly. His tail swinging and I duck out the way

before climbing up on the rock we were perched on letting my wings free. My magic fizzling slightly

before surging like it was trying to build itself up. I look to the ceiling wondering if I would make it when

a fireball erupts the deafening noise of Dragons screaming as Silas breathes hell fire through the cave,

his father blocking it from touching me. The cave goes silent beside the moaning and groaning of the

beasts burning on the ground.

“Father” Silas calls out to him, the dragons head whips in his direction and he whimpers before turning

to me, his eyes going to the blade in my hand, I step back.

“No” I gasp knowing what he wants me to do.

“Please it’s the only way, I need to pay for my sins little Aziza, I won’t have my grandchild pay them for

me” His voice flicking in my head like a whisper as his power starts to fizzle.

I feel tears slip down my face a tortured look in his eyes as they flicker losing their light.

“Please” he gasps out in my head, I could hear them getting closer running toward us, feel Silas relief

at seeing I am fine and excitement at finding his father.

I raise my sword. Silas scream breaking my heart as he screams “Elora no” I plunge my sword into his

chest, he grunts before a sigh leaves him, his body transforming to man as he stumbles into me so

quickly, I almost lose my footing as he leans his weight onto me. His arms draped over my shoulders

heavily.

“Thank you” He gasps before I watch his Aura go white, his life leaving this world and going to the next.

I feel silas’s pain smash into me, hitting me like a wave of pure anguish as he roars. My legs giving out

from under me at his fathers weight, just as Silas reached us ripping his father off the blade. My sword

retracting as my magic fizzles out having used it to kill his father.

Silas clutches his fathers frail dead body before his eyes snap to me. Burning hatred shining back at

me, he growls dropping his father before stalking towards me as I scramble backwards on my hands

and knees, I see Matitus rushing over.

“Did you know who he was?” Silas asks and I feel tears brim, I look to King Darshan tears welling in my

eyes. “He told”- My words get cut off as he grabs me, his entire body trembling, his fist raising when

suddenly Matitus and Dragus grab him ripping him away.

“She fucking knew” He screams fighting against them.

“Silas she is our mate” Matitus tell him.

“I don’t fucking care, I have lost everything because her, fucking everything, I gave up everything and

she fucking killed him” he bellows tossing them off like they are nothing.

I scream trying to get up and make a run for it when he rips me back by my hair. I clutch his hand trying

to free myself as I feel my hair being ripped from my scalp.

“Silas she is pregnant” Dragus screams, his fear hitting me. When Silas lets go, his rage burning hotter

than anything I have ever felt before, his hatred seeping into me so cold it chilled my bones.

He steps forward, his hand grabbing my throat.

“After our child is born, you leave and I never want to see you again”

“Silas!” I cry

“No, you have taken everything from me. You leave Elora, but you won’t be leaving with my child” He

says before turning on his heel and walking out of the cave.
