Silas POV

Waking to find her gone my heart was pounding in my chest, my eyes instantly going to my hand and

looking at the promise mark, my skin charred and black from where she broke the blood promise. I still

remember when she stepped out of the borders, the tingling sensation that moved over my palm. I

initially thought I slept on it funny and gave myself pins and needles until it started burning and I knew

she left me. Left the safety of the kingdom never have I felt fear like that. She was completely unaware

of what resided beyond those gates.

Looking at my hand though, I felt no pain. So, I knew she was in the castle somewhere or at least

within the kingdom. Matitus rolling into me, his hand searching for something as he threw it over me

before pulling me against him and realising my skin is a lot hotter than hers. Matitus sits up in one swift

motion instantly alert.

“Where is she?” He says, looking around the room.

“She is still here” I tell him. One thing Elora doesn’t realise, is she made a blood promise which won’t

go away for as long as we live, it will just inflict pain on the one they promised to, every time they break

it.

Matitus wriggles closer putting his head on my chest, Dragus snoring beside him so loudly I was almost

tempted to smother him just to shut him up. Instead, I relish my time with my mate, running my fingers

through his hair. They hardly let me touch them anymore, and I know its because of what I did, what I

put her through, so for now I would just enjoy my time with them.

“You did the right thing” Matitus tells me.

“you should have done it earlier, but you eventually did it” He says, sitting up on his elbow and looking

at me. I could see something behind his eyes as they reflected back at me. He almost looked happy for

once, instead of his mind clouded with the shadows of the past.

“You and Dragus were in a good mood last night considering everything that happened” I tell him. His

lips turn up in a smile.

“Because we are now, now that you have accepted her”

“I never didn’t accept her, she is just-” Matitus scoffs, his eyebrow raising at my words and I can’t help

the corners of my lips turning up slightly trying to repress myself from smiling.

“Stubborn like you” Matitus offers. I shake my head.

“So, are you going to tell me what got you two into such a good mood?” I ask ignoring his statement.

“You’ll find out soon enough”

“What did you do?” I ask.

“Nothing, it’s what you did, and I am not giving away anything, not until I am positive” Dragus suddenly

moves yawning and sitting up, I feel alarm hit me when he looks across at us.novelbin

“She is still here” I tell him knowing that is what he was about to ask, and he lets out a breath before

flopping back down on the bed again and chucking and arm across his face blocking out the light.

“Ah I don’t want to get up” Dragus groans. I chuckle at him.

“We have work to do, besides it’s your own fault you shouldn’t have been up all-night fornicating” I tell

him.

“Like you didn’t enjoy it” He retorts. Suddenly I get hit with Elora’s feelings, embarrassment hitting me

before I hear what sounds like someone squeal and laughter. Getting up, I walk outside the door

peering over the landing to the floor below. To see Dakari running down the corridor with Elora and

Abigail chasing after him in fits of giggles. Matitus comes over leaning over and looking too.

“What’s happening?” He asks, just as Marian comes rushing out from god knows where a tea towel in

hand chasing after them yelling profanities telling them what rotten girls are.

I laugh making Marian look up before she averts her eyes stopping. “Sorry my lords” She calls out but

Matitus chuckles. “I don’t know what you have been up to but its good to hear laughter in this dark

place” Matitus answers.

“Sorry, my lord” She answers but not looking up. Elora suddenly walks out from underneath the landing

we are on looking up at us, Abigail too before she snorts her face turning crimson. Elora elbows her.

“It’s alright Marian, I know you haven’t seen one in a while” Abigail chuckles and Marian smacks both of

them with the tea towel making them laugh. Dakari walks out and Matitus and I look at each other

trying to figure out what’s so funny.

“Free balling it now bro, watch out you will give some of these old birds a heart attack” He says before

we realise our mistake. Elora places her hand over Abigail’s eyes before we look down to realise, we

were still naked. Completely forgetting when we walked out to see what was going on.

Matitus chuckles not caring in the least instead jiggling his bits. “Oh, for Pete’s sake as everyone

around here lost their marbles” Marian says, turning and walking off. I quickly duck into the room

chucking on some shorts. Matitus walks in behind me doing the same, while Dragus remained in bed.

“Get up” I tell him, and he rolls over onto his stomach pulling the pillow over his head drowning us out.

Matitus chuckles walking over and ripping the covers off him, and he mutters some curses at him.

“Now Dragus” Matitus warns him.

“And what are you going to do spank me like Elora” He spits at him. Matitus makes a noise in the back

of his throat.

“What is it with everyone today, starting to think Elora becoming a bad influence on everyone, talking

back, People making eye contact and now even Dragus has an attitude” Matitus says shaking his

head.

“Things are definitely changing around here, and I am not sure I like it” I mutter with a smile.

Dakari suddenly walks in the room sniffing the air slightly and wrinkly his nose. “The girls want to know

if they can go to the greenhouses and help someone named Victor” Dakari announces.

“They sent you to ask permission” I ask.

“No, pretty sure they sent me as a distraction, I heard them duck out the moment I stepped foot on the

stairs”

“See bad influence” Matitus mutters.

‘So, what happened with you and Abigail?” Matitus asks wriggling his eyebrows.

“I marked her; her daughter is a little strange, cute but strange”

Elora’s POV

Abigail and I managed to escape the castle to the greenhouses, using Dakari as a distraction. One of

the cooks said that Victor needed help so we thought we would go offer a helping hand. We spent most

of the morning hanging herbs to dry out. Victor was busying compounding ingredients and bottling

them to stock the pharmacy.

I was just getting ready to pull down some dried herbs using the step ladder when I felt hands move

over my hips and under my shirt. Looking down, I see Matitus standing behind me a devilish grin on his

face.

“Are you hiding from us little one” He says.

“No, just helping Victor” I tell him grabbing down the bundle of dried plants and dropping them in the

basket on the bench.

“Victor said he doesn’t need you anymore” Matitus says, his hands sliding up higher brushing my

stomach. I look over my shoulder and Victor gives me a nod and I go to step down off the ladder only

for Matitus to pull me against him and scooping my legs out from under me.

“Put me down” I whisper yell.

“Not a chance” He says, turning on heels and carrying me from the greenhouse.

“People are staring Matitus” I argue but he ignores me instead spinning me in his arms to face him and

wrapping my legs around his waist.

“Where are you taking me?” I groan, just as I see Dakari walk out of the castle heading toward the

greenhouses where Abigail was left behind.

“Abbie out there still?”

“Yes, third greenhouse” I tell him, and he rushes off to find her.

“Can you put me down please” I ask again when I see the castle doors getting closer. Matitus doesn’t

put me down instead opening the door and walking into the library, using his foot to kick the door

closed behind him.

“What are we-” I don’t get to finish when his lips were suddenly on mine and I find myself on top of the

new desk which was still covered in plastic.

“Matitus” I screech, when his lips leave mine, going to my neck.

“Matitus someone will walk in” Geez what has got into him? I wonder, as he ignores me peeling my

coat off and pushing my pants down. His lips going to my mark as he sucks on it while undressing me

until I was only left in my bra the rest of me completely bare.

Matitus suddenly drops to his knees in front of the desk. I try to hop up, to escape when his hand

pushes me back down before I feel his breath on my core as he pulls me to the end of the desk

pushing my legs further apart before feeling his tongue flick out, licking my slit before he sucks my clit

into his mouth.

“Still want me to stop little one” He asks, as I grip his hair. I grind my hips against his face, and he

chuckles before continuing, after a few minutes I no longer care if anyone walks in because all I can

think about his where his face currently is, and the feeling building inside me.

My stomach tightening as he shoves his fingers inside me, I hiss at the burning pain. I was still sore,

very sore but the pain becoming forgotten as he sped up, and I could feel myself getting closer and

closer to the edge. My grip on his hair tightening as I move my hips against his hot mouth before

crashing over, my walls fluttering around his fingers as I ride out my orgasm, leaving me breathless and

my heart racing. Matitus stands up undoing his belt a wicked smile creeping onto his face as he leans

over the desk, kissing me. I could taste myself on his tongue as our tongues collided before he

suddenly pulled me towards him letting me stand, only to spin me around and bend me over the desk.

His hands going to my hips as he pulls me towards him before he positions himself at my entrance.

Sliding in effortlessly, from the moisture of my orgasm a few seconds ago. He buries his cock in me

before pulling out and slamming back in, my hips hitting the edge of the desk painfully as he pounds

into me when I hear the door click and try to stand. Matitus hand goes to my shoulder shoving me back

down.

“It’s only Dragus” He says before I feel fingertips under my chin, pulling my face up. I see Dragus, his

face inches from mine before he kisses me, his tongue hungrily devouring every inch of my mouth,

Matitus movements becoming jerky as he thrusts in harder making me gasp before stilling, he slaps my

ass before pulling my head back by my ponytail wrapping it around his hand, his lips below my ear.

“Dragus turn now” He says, kissing my cheek before I feel him pull out of me. Dragus undoes his belt

using it to tie my hands before securing it to the front of the desk, making me have to stretch to relieve

the pressure on my shoulders before he walks around the desk. I feel his hands trail across my back

making me shiver.

I twist, trying to look behind me when I feel warm fingers move into my bra and twist my nipple harshly

making me cry out, rolling it between their fingers only to look up and see it was Matitus who was

watching.

“Stay still” He says, and I huff turning back my hands going purple from the loss of circulation to my

hands. Dragus uses his foot tapping my feet which were barely on the ground.

“Legs apart” and I wriggle as much as I can from this position before feeling his hand come down on

my ass hard, the stinging slap making me shudder and hiss.

“God, I love the sounds she makes” Dragus murmurs, before moving between my legs and I feel the

head of his cock as he lines it up with my throbbing core before thrusting in. His hands gripping my ass

as he pulls my cheeks apart watching himself slip in and out of me, making me moan loudly from the

friction building up as he thrusts become more urgent. I feel his fingers tracing my ass crack before I

feel his thumb shove inside me, making me squirm before relaxing.

My orgasm building as he continues to hit that spot inside me making my toes curl when I feel myself

hit my brink, before exploding around his cock. My walls clenching him, and his movements become

jerky before he stills, my pussy milking his cock as it spasms around him while I ride out my own

orgasm leaving me covered in a sheen of sweat and breathless. I feel Matitus fiddling with the belt

around my wrists just as I feel Dragus pull out of me and can hear him pulling up his pants.

If I wasn’t sore before I definitely am now, my inside feeling like they have been rubbed raw. My wrists

killing as I feel my blood rush to them regaining circulation. Turning around, Dragus was picking up my

clothes before Matitus kneels in front of me helping me step into my pants.

Dragus hands me my shirt before kissing my swollen lips. I get dressed just as the door opens and

Silas pops his head in.

“Damn missed all the fun” He says sniffing the air.

“Come on, lunch is done and after we are going flying” He says.

“Flying?”

“Don’t you think it’s about time you try out those new wings?” He asks. I shake my head worried, and

not only that I didn’t know how to make them come out again or if I could.

“Stop stressing, eat first, worry later” He says, giving me a wink and reaching his hand out to me. I

place mine in his, letting him drag me out. I just wanted to go take a nap but food sounds better, I was

starving.
