Chosen By The Dragon Kings

Chapter 29

“Shit,” I hear Dragus murmur, and I can hear him moving around. “I need to call Silas down here,” he

says, and I know he was going to do their weird mind talking.

“No, not Silas,” I gasp between trying to breathe through the pain. My entire body spasming as heat

rushes through my veins and the familiar burning starts consuming me. It was the sort of pain you

could never forget, and I felt like I was boiling, I could almost feel my blood bubbling in my veins,

making me scream as wave after wave washed over me.

“I have to, he has the key,” Dragus says, and I can hear the worry in his voice as he watches me writhe

in pain on the floor.

“No, no,” I scream breathlessly as I feel it rolling from my toes, wildfire consuming every inch of me. I

claw at my skin, trying to stop it.

“Stop Lora, Matitus is on his way. You’re making yourself bleed,” Dragus’s voice sounds strangled but I

am in too much pain to care as I crawl toward where I think the pile of snow is, reaching out my

fingertips brushing the snow. I force myself to move before slumping on top of the pile like a lizard

sunbathing on a rock. The snow melts almost instantly when I scream as searing pain consumes me. I

can hear the blood in my body pumping through me, pulsating as I try to find relief. The pain becomes

too much and all I can focus on. Bright light suddenly comes on and I squint, trying to adjust to the

light's brightness when I see Matitus run down the stairs, keys clutched in his hand.

Silas walking down the stairs behind him, a worried look on his face. Matitus fiddles with the keys with

shaky hands, trying and fumbling to get them in the lock. Silas takes the keys from him opening the

door and Matitus rushes in while Silas unlocks Dragus’s cell door. I fight against Matitus when he picks

me up. The heat from his body makes it worse, I was thrashing so much he dropped me with a thud.

“Just grab her, Matitus,” Silas growled.

“She won’t stop thrashing; I will hurt her” he spits back at him. But I am too far gone, the pain all

consuming, and it would have been nicer to just kill me, at least the pain would be gone. Never in my

life have I prayed for death to come as much as I did now.

I hear Silas growl before walking in and grabbing me. I scream as his heat seeps into me, and I am

sure I was going to combust. Air rushes around me before a rapid temperature change and I can tell I

am outside.

“Break the ice” Silas yells and I hear the sound of ice cracking before I feel icy water around me, easing

some pain but not enough for me to stop screaming.

“Let me mark you” I shake my head, words failing me besides the agonised screams escaping my lips.

Silas growls.

“Hold your breath then” I don’t even know how to do that, my brain refusing to function even for the

most basic survival instincts when I am suddenly under water. My temperature drops and I gasp before

choking on water. Silas pulls me back above the water surface and I choke, coughing on the water that

rushed into my mouth.

The heat easing before slumping against him, my head on his shoulder and I open my eyes and see

we are in the frozen lake that runs behind the castle. I try to catch my breath before I feel the heat start

growing hotter and I try to slip back under the water.

“Let me mark you, it will stop. Lora”

“No, kill me. Just kill me please” I beg before screaming after another wave washes over me making

my entire body tense.

“If one of us marks you, it will ease and the third wave won’t be as bad” he says, but I shake my head.

Marking me would mean I am stuck with them forever, and I didn’t want to be stuck with Silas forever.

“Let Matitus then” he says. Matitus walks into the icy water towards me before stopping next to me, a

worried look on his face. Shaking my head I try to get away from them, but Silas holds me tighter

before he moves my wet hair, revealing my shoulder and neck.

“No” I gasp, thrashing, I would rather die.

“If you won’t let me mark you, one of them has to” he says. I hear Matitus groan as Silas grabs his shirt

pulling him over and I find myself trapped between them. Silas hands moving to my ass as he hoists

me up higher and I wrap my legs around his waist, not wanting to be pulled even slightly from the icy

water and the relief it offers.

“I won’t let you kill her Matitus,” he says, grabbing his face before kissing his lips. The sight of them

makes arousal flood me, but not long enough as heat wraps itself around me and I scream in agony

again. Matitus kisses my shoulder before I feel his teeth bite deeply into my shoulder near my neck and

I feel his tongue lapping at my blood. The pain leaves as another feeling rushes over me and I can feel

foreign emotions rush into me. The heat leaving, being replaced with intense pleasure making me

moan loudly. My legs around Silas waist tightening and pleasure makes my core pulsate and my toes

curl.

I can’t help but rub myself against Silas, making him groan, his hands on my ass tightening.

I feel his teeth get ripped from my neck painfully and I whimper. Before missing the feeling of his bite.

Opening my eyes. I see Dragus has Matitus by his shoulders and Silas’s hand on his chest. Looking at

Matitus, his eyes are pitch black orbs and I can see the hunger in his eyes.

Feel it in my bones and I suddenly realise what the feeling I felt coming from him was hunger and lust.

His emotions running through me and igniting my own as arousal coils within my stomach and I feel my

walls clench making me moan breathlessly. Matitus moves away from me when I see Dragus tug on his

shoulders and I can see that he is fighting with himself, trying not to attack me.

Once out of the water, he takes off with Dragus fast on his heels, leaving me in the water with Silas. I

rest against Silas, the heat dissipating and I shiver at the icy water. My temperature plummeted and I

suddenly felt cold.

“The heat won’t come back now?” I ask, resting my head on his shoulder.

“It will until we all mark you but it won’t kill you now,” he says, kissing the side of my face. I am too

exhausted to care about his closeness.

“You said it would stop?” I murmur into his neck.

“It will once we all mark you, then the second heat starts.”

“Second heat?”

“Yeah, the mating heat. It will make you want to mate with us.”

“What?” My voice came out in a squeak, horrified by his words. Silas chuckles. “Let’s just get through

the first heat, then you can worry about the mating heat. It isn’t painful like the dragon heat” he tells me

before gripping me tighter and walking out of the water.

I cling to him as he walks inside, my body turning cold as he walks up the stairs towards their bedroom. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

He places me on the edge of the bath before peeling my wet clothes off that are sticking to me like a

second skin.

When I feel him try to unclasp my bra, I smack his hands away. He raises an eyebrow at my actions

before unclipping it.

“Don’t be shy Lora, I have seen you naked before and you have nothing to be ashamed about,” he

says, pulling my hands away from my breasts. My nipples rock hard from the cold and I hear Silas’s

breath hitch before I feel the pad of his thumb rub over it. Pushing his hand away, I try to stand, my

muscles all locked and aching from the cold. Silas turns the shower on and helps me stand before

placing me under the water. My body slowly relaxes under its warmth as my body thaws out.
