Chosen By The Dragon Kings

Eighty Nine

Silas POV

I tried to sleep, but without them the bed felt empty cold, I could feel the anger radiating off Dragus in

waves making me uncomfortable. I had no doubt he would choose her, they both would. I always knew

that but hearing them say that was something else entirely. Giving up on sleep I walk into the bathroom

deciding to shower, but even the water was not enough to wash away the guilt I felt.

I broke her, broke us all because I flew to close. I never intended to hurt her, only grab her but she

moved at the wrong second, pivoted in the air. I never intended to break her wing, only to stop her from

leaving, I should have known better then to allow mine to get that close to hers, I would never

intentionally hurt her like that, yet I did. I only meant to cage her when I spun, I never could have

predicted she would choose that moment to try to duck under me. The moment I clipped her I knew I

fucked up, by the energy that zapped me making my heart jolt, then she was falling, falling toward the

trees, I panicked grabbing her only causing more damage.

Hopping out I retrieve some clothes, their scents were strong in here, from it being closed. My heart

squeezing painfully with longing. Yet how could I face her after what I did, how could I face her and not

hate her for killing him? Walking downstairs, I walk toward her room. I could hear they were awake

now, hear the shower running when suddenly the door opens Matitus walking directly into me.

He doesn’t say anything just pulls the door closed behind him and shoving past me, heading upstairs to

our room. I follow after him wanting to know if she was alright. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

“Just go Silas, you have done enough” He says not stopping as he climbed the stairs ignoring my

presence behind him.

“Is she alright?” I ask following after him.

“Don’t pretend to care Silas, I can feel how much you hate her”

“Just because I hate her doesn’t mean I don’t love her or still care for her” I tell him as he walks into the

walk in.

“Yeah, but your hate always wins Silas” He says looking around for something. He grabs clothes for

him and Dragus before rummaging through the drawers.

I reach up grabbing her fluffy cloak Marian made her, knowing that was what he was looking for, I hand

it to him, and he snatches it off me before shoving past me and going back to her.

“Stop following me Silas you aren’t seeing her” He says walking down the corridor back to her.

Dragus walks out of the room, grabbing his clothes from Matitus as Matitus goes into her.

“Leave” He says pulling his shirt on just as I see Abigail walking towards us. She slips past Dragus and

goes into the room and I hear her lock it.

“So Abigail has more right to see her than I do?” I ask pissed off that he let her walk in there to see her

but was refusing to move for me to check on her.

“Abigail didn’t hurt her, you did” He says barging past me and walking toward the palace doors. He

pops his head into the kitchen speaking to one of the chefs.

“I will send Peter down with breakfast soon” I hear one of them reply to Dragus. He nods before

continuing toward the doors.

“Where are you going?” I ask following after him.

“To help organise funeral arrangements” He says making me stop.

“Stay with her I can organise some of the humans to do it Dragus” I tell him.

“No Elora asked me to do it she doesn’t want humans or the Fae going to retrieve your father” He says,

slipping his boots on.

“My father?” I ask him.

“Yes, because even after everything you have done, she still loves you enough to give your father a

proper burial” He says walking out and slamming the door behind him leaving me standing there.

I go to help, seeing as he is my father. Opening the door though Dragus was no where to be seen,

Dakari walks towards the castle with Pluto and another man I had never seen before. Pluto looks up

and Dakari stops a piece of paper in his hand. I walk toward them wondering who the stranger is, I

could smell he was Dragon yet I had never seen him before.

“Silas this Ares my brother” Pluto says the man holds his hand out, but I ignore it and he drops it

looking nervously to his brother. “What’s that?” I ask turning to Dakari who was reading the piece of

paper in his hand.

“to do list for the orphanage, Elora asked me to get it the other day but seeing as she can no longer do

it because my brother won’t let her out of his sight, Abbie asked me to take care of it” He says before

turning toward Pluto and Ares.

“Can you grab the shovels from the stables” Pluto nods before walking off, his brother chasing after

him. Dakari walks around the castle and I keep in step with him before grabbing the note from his hand

and reading it. The orphanage needed lots of work, a few of the heaters weren’t working, only one hot

water system that was to small for the amount of people staying there, the backyard needing tidying up,

the roof needed mending. I sigh seeing how long the list is. Then was a list of stuff they needed mainly

blankets and clothes for the children and a few medicinal products.

Dakari and I walk to the greenhouses where we are greeted by one of the medical apprentices, he had

a box in his arms. He looks at me nervously though smiles when Dakari holds his arms out before

taking the box from him. The kids wasn’t that old maybe Elora’s age, with his brown hair hanging to his

shoulders, his eyes not leaving Dakari and I could smell his fear of me being this close to him.

“That’s all we have left in stock, can you get Abbie to come up later to see if she can help us grow

some of the herbs the stocks need replenishing” He asks Dakari.

“I will ask her, but she can’t keep using her magic, it has been draining her. I will ask Jackie her mother

if she can come up and help” The kid nods before walking inside.

“How have they run out of stock already?” I ask before Dakari points to the far greenhouse that I now

realise was burnt down from the attack.

“Fuck sake” I groan before whistling to the Vampires standing guard around the tree line and waving

one forward.

“What’s wrong my lord” He asks approaching.

“Organise some of your men to clean that and start rebuilding” He nods before calling some of them

over.

“Right away my king” He says bowing his head slightly, turning around I find Dakari walking off back

towards the castle. I jog over to catch up with him.

“Silas, I know your mates aren’t talking to you right now, but I don’t need a shadow” He says as I see

Pluto and Ares walk out with wheelbarrows carry gardening tools.

“I’m not, I coming to help” I tell Dakari who stops for a second before nodding.

I follow them toward the orphanage people cleaning up the carnage that was left, nearly the entire main

street was burnt down, people cleaning up the debris even the vampires were helping without having

been asked, I was surprised how many people were out trying to restore the city.

“Did you organise this?” I ask Dakari. He shakes his head.

“No, but everyone has been banding together trying to restore everything, things have changed Silas

the entire city has been working since the attack, now that the vampires have seen that the humans

have been helping them, they are returning the favour, its not just your city anymore, it belongs to the

people. Relationships have been growing now that the city for once has had some peace, kind of

reminds me of when your father was still king” Dakari says.

He was right even with the destruction this is first time decades I have seen humans and supernatural’s

working together so closing, Elora really had been turning everything around, trust amongst the people

has been steadily growing and I may have just ruined it all.

“What is in the box?” I ask as we near the orphanage.

“Antibiotics and vitamins” He answers as we walk up the steps. I could see why the roof needed fixing;

half the roof torn off in the attack.

I follow Pluto out the back to help them, needing the distraction this place was offering, needing to do

something other than feed my own guilt.
