Elora’s POV
Showering quickly, I get out and quickly chuck on a shirt and some knickers, waiting patiently for Abigail to come so I can warn her about the seer stones. So I can tell her to make sure she remains hidden on the day and to tell her family to go into hiding. I also didn’t want to stay in their room on the off chance my magic manifests tonight. I knew the chances were slim, but if they did, I was unaware of what to expect and if the change would be noticeable.
Around 7PM the door finally opened and in stepped Abigail with a tray of food. She smiled nervously at me and I jumped up, moving toward the door. I could tell she was trying to warn me as her eyes darted to mine full of alarm. After a second or two, I understood why she was so nervous when Silas walked in behind her. I mentally cursed and hoped he wouldn’t stay long. But when he went and sat at the table, I realised she had actually brought in two plates and knew he was planning on staying. Abigail didn’t speak a word, just left the plates and walked out, closing the door behind her.
Silas sat expectantly at the table, waiting for me to join him. Taking my seat at the small table, he leans back, watching me. I suddenly felt nervous under his watchful eyes and I knew he could hear my heart racing, pounding in my chest.
“You’re staying?” I ask, hoping he wouldn’t confirm my fears. He crossed his arms over his chest.
“That depends,”
“On?” I ask, fidgeting with my fingers under the table.
“How truthful you are being” My eyes dart to his and my heart rate skips a beat, and his eyes darken and I could tell he heard the change in my heart rate.
“Why are you nervous?” he asks, and I instantly stop fidgeting and go to pick up my fork, only then realising how bad my hands are trembling.
“Are you going to answer?” he says, raising an eyebrow.
“You may not like my answer”
“Doesn’t matter, I want to hear it,” he says, reaching for his fork and twirling pasta around it.
“You make me nervous,” I tell him truthfully. He nods in understanding before bringing his fork to his lips, chewing before speaking.
“Eat,” he says pointing to my plate and I quickly scoop some up, chewing slowly. We eat in silence and when he is done, he sits back watching me. I go to put my fork down when I see him shake his head.
“Eat all of it” he says, and I sigh before forcing in another mouthful.
“I have been thinking?” I fight the urge to spit out something sarcastic.
“About?”
“Why you suddenly changed this afternoon and figured, you had a reason” I shake my head even though I was actually trying to please them so I could have the freedom to sleep in my room and be away from them.
“Don’t deny it, this morning you were pissed then you seemed fine. Then When I walked in with Abigail, I could see you got nervous, your heart rate beating erratically,”
I try to come up with an excuse that he won’t question.
“I want to know what you are hiding,”
“I’m not hiding anything” I answer quickly.
“So, you won’t mind sleeping in our room then” As soon as the words left his lips, my heart rate spiked. I wouldn’t be able to slip away, they would wake to the slightest of noises.
“So, I will ask you again, what are you hiding, Elora?”

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!...
