I wait for Abigail to drop the clothes off before having a shower. Using the wooden chair, I brace it under the door handle. I definitely don’t want a repeat of yesterday with them invading my personal space. Showering quickly, I dress in the sweater dress Abigail gave me. It was black and warm, but I didn’t like that it showed off so much of my legs.
Opening the door, I find Matitus waiting in the corridor.
“Block the door again, I will make you shower with me understood?” he says, not even trying to hide his anger. But why would he? He was one of the feared Dragon Kings and used to getting his way. Not wanting to anger him further, I nod before looking away. Matitus grips my chin, forcing me to look up into his snake-like eyes.
“I said understood?”
I nod my head feverishly.
“Words Elora.”
“Yes, understood,” I whisper, fighting the urge to roll my eyes at him and his tone of voice. I felt like I was being scolded by a teacher, not that I went to school. My grandmother schooled me and taught me the basics, like reading and writing and basic math.
He let go before gripping my elbow and pulling me to the kitchen where Abigail was waiting. Abigail looked up before turning her attention elsewhere. Matitus walks out, and I wait for Abigail to finally look up. She lets out a breath, looking relieved that Matitus was gone.
“Thank the heavens” she whispers when he could no longer hear. “You need to watch yourself around them, Elora. They may not be that bad now, but once Silas comes back they won’t be as gentle.”
“Gentle, that’s them being gentle?” I ask incredulously.
She nods before chewing the end of nail nervously.
“We need to get to work, Silas likes everything a particular way and the last girl I worked with got killed because she forgot to take a bin out” Abigail says, concern spreading all over her face.
I couldn’t believe they would kill someone over something so ridiculous. On the plus side, Abigail is talking more and looks a little more relaxed while no one other than me is around. Looking around the kitchen, no one was here. Which I thought was odd. Abigail must have noticed me looking around because she answered my thoughts.
“They left to get supplies. Once Silas comes back, no one may leave the castle until he goes again. Last time he stayed a month. I didn’t get to see my daughter for an entire month,” she says sadly. I put a consoling hand on her shoulder.
“Where does he go?” I inquire.
“To find his mate, or the chosen one as they call her,” Abigail mumbles.
“The chosen one?” I ask, wondering if it is the same chosen one my grandmother used to tell stories about.
“Yes, the one that can carry their children,” she whispers before shutting her mouth when she hears something fall over in the corridor. We both straighten up as a young boy, who looked to be about twelve, walks in carrying a bucket and broom.
“Peter, geez you nearly gave me a heart attack,” she says, and I could hear her heart pounding in her chest before settling, my hearing was heightened significantly more than a human’s which came in handy but also annoying at times.
“Sorry Abbie,” he says before his gaze turns to me, his brown hair falling over his brown eyes before he sweeps it aside.
“You’re Fae” he says, eyeing me with a matter-of-fact expression.

Loved loved loved this book. Thank you x...
Personally love the story/book. Loved reading it online and would love to purchase the book. Is it a little darker than I would like? Yes; however, it doesn’t mean I wouldn’t reread it. I also think that there is a lot more story to be told but I understand this being in the genre of “erotic fantasy” and trying not to stay too far from that. Would love to read a mythical fantasy/action version though. Would love to get closure of Aldin and how he feels about his families past, or if he even knew. Or diving deeper into Silas past as to why he is as angry as he is. Surely there were other events leading up to Blaire’s appearance in his life that had made him the villain he is. I would love more explanation as to how Taylor came back into the picture after betraying the kings. Just so many unanswered questions but also a really captivating read ♥️ thanks Jessica 🙏🏼...
😐 story was ok but I’m iffy about the romanticizing of the amount of abuse in this book and how forced the bond is. She doesn’t want them. they and the bond are forcing her to accept it. Also she keeps sacrificing herself for Abigail fine whatever but agrees to be mates with the 3 monsters? Like c’mon now wtf happened to all her fight? Can’t she be a bit more selfish? I’m just saying I knew this would happen eventually but the way it happened and when it did felt hella forced disappointing and a huge let down for me. By rating for this book dropped down to 0 instantly. Couldn’t the marking session happen when she was on better terms with them? Finding out Matt betrayed her trust and Silas threatening to kill her friends just to 3 seconds later get all horny with them felt kinda sick and out of place. Like did the mating have to happen instantly couldnt they give her some time to cool off first? Or even apologize? This book brushes off stuff way too easily and it truly bothers me. Feels like I’m wasting my time investing into the arguments and taking sides only for it to be resolved without so much as an apology they just move on and pretend it didn’t happen. It pisses me off reading their arguments knowing it won’t go anywhere and no development cause they don’t discuss any fucking thing. Makes me wonder why everyone is praising this author so god damn much. There’s a lot wrong with this story and it starts with the letter S. I’m disappointed adult women are the ones writing awful stories like this one. Comments and reviews justifying the abuse makes me wonder how they find entertainment in such violence to say it’s the best book they’ve ever read. That’s disturbing to think about...
Perfect!...
