Chosen By The Dragon Kings novel Chapter 55
Elora’s POV
Silas and I waited in silence, he didn’t utter a word, yet I could feel him watching me. Dragus obviously realising something was up when I never returned walked in, stopping and leaning on the doorframe.
“Why are you holding her here?” he asked Silas. Silas looked up at him, his eyes scanning over Dragus. “You know why?” he simply says. So Dragus knew and never warned me.
“Come Elora,” Dragus said, making Silas growl and stand up. Dragus ignored him, holding out his hand. I looked at Silas, but he didn’t say anything when I stood and walked over to him, grabbing his hand. Silas was angry about me keeping it from him, yet I could feel something else, uncertainty.
“Bring her back when Matitus returns” Silas said, running a hand through his hair. Dragus nodded to him, pulling me from the room.
Dragus took me to the dining room and Abigail was sitting there with Lilith completely unaware of what Silas had planned. She looked up and smiled at me as I walked in and I went to go to her when Dragus pulled me against him.
“Have some faith in Silas, he may be a monster but that’s because you refuse to see him as anything else” Dragus whispered. Looking at him Dragus gripped my hand tightly refusing to let me go to Abigail. Abigail was going to be angry if I didn't warn her as it is. I didn’t have to wait long, after about twenty minutes I heard the phone ring. I looked over toward the door when Marian walked in holding it with a worried look on her face.
“Abigail, it is your mother,” she says her hands trembling and I know what is about to happen. Hopping up, I get ready for Abigail’s wrath. Abigail answers the call and I watch as all the blood drains from her face, the phone dropping from her hand before she spins around and glares at Dragus and I.
“Where is my daughter?” she spits at him. Dragus holds up his hand telling her to wait.
“Silas has been scouring that library all night and there is no other way to break the curse, Abigail,” Dragus says, and Abigail takes off running toward the library and I chase after her.
“Abbie wait,” I called out to her, knowing if she ticks off Silas, she will feel his wrath. Abigail runs to the front door before stopping and stepping back as she turns to face the library. Matitus walks toward her and Dragus never said anything to me about Matitus returning. Abigail shoves past him into the room and I run toward her, freezing next to her as I walk into the Library.
Claire looked up when we entered, she was sitting on the floor with Silas in front of the fireplace. Silas had my grandmothers’ book in his lap. Abigail’s voice stuttered as she called for Claire.
“Claire, come here.” Claire looks up unaware of what is going on. Claire goes to get up off the floor when Silas grabs her tiny hand and I see Abigail take a step forward, her hands glowing green.
“Sit Claire” Silas says to her but there was no anger in voice, he spoke softly looking up at her. Claire smiled before flopping back down on the rug.
Moving into the room, I step next to Silas, Abigail following me. Lilith walks in and see Claire waving to her. Silas looks up when Claire waves back to her.
“Claire, go play with Lilith so I can speak to your mother” Claire nods before hopping up off the floor and running towards Lilith and they both run off and I notice Dragus follow after them to keep an eye on them.
“How dare you take my daughter” Abigail spits, her anger making her hands glow brighter.
“I mean your daughter no harm, Abigail. I am just pissed off you both lied to me” Silas said standing before leaning against his desk. He had my grandmother’s book in his hand scrolling through the pages not even fazed by Abigail’s magic. He flicks to a page before turning the book around holding it toward us. I step forward taking it from him. Abigail looks down at the page, worry crossing her features before she turns her glare back to Silas. He folds his arms across his chest. Waiting for us to say something.
“I will not sacrifice my daughter for a curse” Abigail says, her hands glowing brighter.
“Read it again” Silas says, and she looks at the page and so do I. Silas steps forward stopping in front of us pointing to the page.
“It says you need the blood sacrifice of the Oracle. I won’t let you kill my daughter, Silas.”
Silas shakes his head before taking the book from my hands and closing it.

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!...
