When the gates come into view, I stop and so does Silas before looking down at me.
“Keep going Elora, don’t make me hurt you. I don’t want to hurt you” he says, and I could see the calmness leaving him, his normal angry demeanour slipping back into place.
“Not until you promise not to hurt Abigail and her family,” I tell him. He growls and I see Dragus and Matitus stop, looking back at us nervously.
“They knew the consequences of helping you, Elora,” Silas says, letting go of my hand and gripping my arm just above my elbow.
“You heard me this morning, didn’t you?” I asked, looking at Matitus.
“You told him and that’s why you let me out, isn’t it?” Matitus silence confirming my assumption. Looking up, the sky was completely grey with clouds and the snow forming on the ground was becoming thicker. I could see my breath making clouds in the air as the temperature dropped. I felt tears brimming, knowing the sacrifice I was about to make in order to fix my mistake of letting Abigail help me. Silas tugs on my arm harshly, his nails digging into my arm through the layers of clothes. I swallow the lump that formed in my throat, that was restricting my airways before clearing my throat. Looking at Matitus, I glare at him and he actually looks like he regrets his actions.
“Lora... I” Matitus says, making Silas glare at him.
“I know Matitus, they’re your mate’s and I am just a tool to be used for your benefit,” I tell him.
“That’s not it, please just listen” I put my hand up, and he goes quiet before I look at Silas. His eyes scrutinised my face and for a second I actually thought he cared, that he was capable of feeling something for me.
“Leave Abigail and her family alone and I will let you mark me” My voice coming out sounded emotionless and dead. It was inevitable they would do it with or without my permission anyway, I might as well try to help Abigail.
Silas tugs on my arm, making me look at him. “No!”
“No?” I ask confused, this is what he wanted so why would he say no?
“You want Abigail and her family to live, I want something else with marking you” I shook my head. I had nothing else to offer, what else could he possibly want.
“I will let them live, if you let Dragus and I mark you and you stop fighting the mate bond,”
“What?”
“You heard me, Elora. Now choose or I will make you watch as I kill them” I look to Matitus and Dragus, but they look away. They know I don’t want any of this, anything to do with them. Who in their right mind would after the horrible things they have all done?
“Fine, but on one condition”

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!...
