I feel Matitus drape his arm over my shoulders, tugging me toward him as we follow Silas outside. We walk around to the doors and as soon as the doors open up, it blasts us with cold air. The harsh frosty air makes me shiver before I feel something heavy draped over my shoulders, making me look over my shoulder. I see Silas had draped a fur cloak over my shoulders. I grip it, tugging it closer. It was warm and thick. Silas then moved in front of me and tied a belt around my waist, holding the cloak closed. He then steps aside and motions for me to step out. I did. The wind hitting my face harshly and I feel a hood be placed over my head, not realising the cloak had one. They walked me around the castle grounds. Snow had blown in overnight leaving a dusting of snow on everything making it colder today.
Looking at the three of them I noticed none of them had coats on, Dragus was walking around in just a singlet.
“Aren’t you cold?” I asked, making them stop.
“We don’t get cold, we breathe fire” Dragus answered laughing. Duh Elora realising how stupid my question was. As we continue walking around the castle grounds, I notice the ridiculous amounts of guards watching us, well me. Their red eyes glistened brightly watching my every move. I step closer to whoever is beside me bumping into them, trying to get away from the man standing on the brick wall, his eyes glued to me. I feel an arm go around my shoulder and look up and see that it is Silas’s
“They won’t hurt you, and I would kill them if they tried” he said before glaring at the man making him look away.
I see the snow get thicker as we come to the lawns out the front. I bend down and scoop some up, resisting the urge to drop it as my hands ache from the coldness as I roll it into a ball. Silas looks down at me and raises an eyebrow. Matitus and Dragus both had their backs to us as they walked ahead.
Silas bends down doing the same and I see his lips turn up in a smile before I lift my hand and lob the snowball at Dragus. It hits him in the back, making him freeze. As he turns around Silas lobs his one hitting Matitus in the face.
“Oh, someone wants to play,” says Matitus, a devious smile lighting up his face. He bends down, scooping up some snow, and I dart behind Silas just in time for it to miss me.
“Missed” I said before sticking my head around Silas and sticking my tongue out at them. They grin, and I heard Silas laugh at them. Bending down, using Silas as a dragon shield. I scooped up more snow before backing away quickly. This time I lobbed my snowball at Silas. He froze before turning around and Matitus and Dragus were in fits of laughter.
“I thought we were on the same side” he called, bending down and scooping up some snow. I squealed before taking off. He missed, and I laughed running around the side of the castle scooping up snow as I ran and moulding it into the perfect ball. Just as I went to turn around the next corner, I stopped and realised no one was behind me. I peeked around the corner, no one there either. I heard someone whistle, and I looked around before suddenly they pelted me with multiple snowballs. I squealed at the coldness making me shiver.
Looking up, I notice all three of them standing on the roof.
“That’s cheating,” I screamed up to them. Dragus dropped off the roof with a soft thud in front of me.
“Show off,” I muttered as he landed effortlessly. I still had the snowball, and I looked down at it in my hands.
“Don’t you dare, I came down didn’t I,” he said as I raised the ball before lobbing it straight at his face. He tried to block it, but it just smashed all over him.
“That's it, you’re gonna get it now,” he said, and I took off running. The cloak becoming damp, making it heavy and my pace not fast. Not that they couldn’t easily outrun me.
Silas drops off the roof in front of me and I dart off in another direction, only to run into Matitus, I run past him and grab the back of his shirt hiding from Dragus and Silas using him as a shield.

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!...
