Chosen By The Dragon Kings novel Chapter 9
I take the basket back to the cleaning closet and walk fast to the kitchen, only to notice Lilith is no longer there. Walking over to the woman with red hair and freckles I ask her.
“The little girl that was with me. Where did she go?”
“The guards came and took her; her mother has been looking for her,” she tells me. I nod, feeling a little sad, but relieved knowing she is safer out there than in here with these monsters.
I exit the kitchen and head to the small room where I slept last night. Walking in, I see a small, dark object sitting atop the bed. It is the book I was looking at earlier in the library. Matitus’s deep voice behind me makes me jump.
“If you want to read that you should also read this,” he says, holding another book out toward me as he steps in the room. I take the book from him and look at it. It’s a book on Dragons and mates. I look up at him.
“Read them. I know Fae have their own stories of the past, but what if they aren’t correct? What if your ancestors lied?” he says.
“Fae can’t lie,” I whisper, not understanding what he means.
“They can and did long ago, your kind blames the Dragons for the wars and the blood spilled, yet what they took from us far outweighs anything we could have ever done to any of you,” he tells me, and I feel anger build up at his words bursting out of me.
“What have you taken from us? You killed my kind off,” I tell him incredulously. The nerve he has saying what we did was worse, when they killed every one of my kind.
“Your kind aren’t the only ones forced into extinction, Elora; my kind is nearly extinct as well because of what they did.”
“And what is that?” I dare to ask, not liking the way he talks about Fae.
“Read the books and you will find out,” he says before walking out and shutting the door behind him.
I stare at the closed door, when I see that he isn’t going to return, I relax slightly. Picking up the book on Fae history, I sit back on the bed and start reading. I can’t remember the last time I actually read a book. Being constantly on the move meant I didn’t get much time to read and with moving, books would mean more things to carry.
After a few hours of reading, my back aches from being slumped over. The book was pretty much the same as what my grandmother had already told me. How the war started after a Dragon killed one of the royal Fae and our kind sought out revenge. If only they had known this world we currently live in would result from that war, maybe they wouldn’t have sought revenge. I noticed halfway through that there were pages torn from the middle.

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!...
