Eloraâs POV I woke to Matitus picking me up. âGo back to sleep love I got youâ He says but I sit up wide awake from being woken. I looked frantically around for my son only to see Silas getting up off the floor with him cradle in his arms still asleep.
I slump back against Matitus watching Silas follow us upstairs when I hear the castle door open, Abbie walking in with the documents she said she would bring. Matitus sets me down on the ground and Silas continues upstairs.
âI have some things to do but Dragus is in the room waiting for youâ Matitus says pecking my lips and leaving. Abbie follows me upstairs, Silas leaving the room as I step inside. I grab his arm stopping him.
âWhere are you going?â I ask.
âTo help Matitus with something. I will be back soonâ He says kissing me before walking down the stairs. Dragus sitting on the bed, smiling as he watches us. Our son tucked in his arms. I walk inside sitting on the bed. Abbigail also doing the same before holding her arms out for my son. âCome to auntyâ She says excitedly stealing him from Dragus. I chuckle and Dragus moves closer to look at the forms Abigail passed me.
âYou finally have a nameâ He asks, and I nod wondering if they will like it or hate it.
Dragus hands me a pen before looking over my shoulder as I lean on a book filling it out when I realise, I actually never knew Matitus or Dragus last names. I stop looking up at him. âDraquinâ Dragus says pointing to both him and Matitus names.
âYouâre all married?â I ask and he nods.
âYep, we just donât like wearing rings, irritating for Matitus and Silas with shifting and they irritate my fingersâ He says before sitting behind me. I nod filling out the form when it asks for Babyâs last name making me pause again. I was the last of my blood line, if I write Draquin my family name will be gone for good.
âAziza Draquin has a ring to it, they wonât mind you keeping your name on the forms Elora, you can probably keep it when you marry us if you wantâ Dragus says making me look up at him.
âWhat?â He asks and I shake my head.
âYou will be marrying us Eloraâ Dragus says with a chuckle before kissing the side of my face.
âWhat if I say noâ I tell him my lips tugging up.
âAs if you would turn me down, you donât need to marry them, but you are definitely marrying me, no choice I will just pester you till you say yesâ He says wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me onto his lap. I chuckle and so does Abigail who was watching us. Dragus points to the form wanting to see the name I chose. I fill the form out handing it to Dragus who reads it.
âI like itâ He says before taking the form from me and signing his part.
âYou need to get Matitus to sign it and Silas, then Silas needs to approve itâ
âYou think he will say no?â I ask and he shakes his head, yet I could feel he was a little uneasy about it.
Matitus comes in at lunchtime. I was still in the room, I hardly left the room. This was our little bubble, though Abigail left hours ago, I always found it easier to remain in the room. When Baby started crying, I tried to get him to latch but once again he wouldnât when Silas walks in with Matitus.
âWhat do you want to do?â Silas asks. Matitus and Dragus also nodding looking at me struggling to feed him.
âYou want the pump?â Dragus asks and I shake my head, tears springing in my eyes at my complete failure to breastfeed, guilt hitting me.
âHave we got formula?â I ask and Silas nods.
âYou want to use formula, itâs completely up to you, itâs your body. If you want to keep trying, we will try and help but if you want to stop you canâ Matitus says. I nod looking down at my hungry baby.
âWe will try the formulaâ I tell them stroking his cheek. Silas nods walking out to go get some.
âI hand Matitus the form beside me. He looks at it before smiling and signing it and tucking it back in the envelope. He kisses my forehead before holding out his arms for our son.
âWhat did you do today?â I ask him just as Silas returns with the bottle handing it to Matitus.
âNothing much organising a feast for the kingdom?â
âA feast?â I ask having been the first time I have heard of it. Silas nods.
âI have been working on something for awhile and thought it would be good to invite everyoneâ He tells me.
âWhen?â
âTomorrow at one oâclockâ He says.
âMy pack is currently building a Ferris wheel out in paddocks next to the greenhouses, everyone is preparing as we speak, so donât worry you donât have to anythingâ
âThe orphanage kids will love thatâ I tell them, and he nods.
âIt looks a lot like an amusement park out there, there are rides and everything Pluto is even getting some of the horses ready for pony rides, cotton candy. Should be goodâ Matitus says.
âWait did you say your pack?â I ask looking to Dragus and he nods.
âWe are letting them back in the city, things have changedâ Dragus says, and I nod.
âSounds excitingâ I tell them. It would be the first since I was alive that anything like this has happened.
âYou think people will come?â I ask looking to Silas.
âYes, they will for you, Peter has spread word around and so far, everyone intends to come, have a heap of volunteers to from the vamps and humans. They are setting things up as we speakâ Silas says just as I hear Dakari call out to him from downstairs.
âIâll be backâ He says walking out.
âSo, when are you going to show Silas the name you chose?â Dragus asks.
âIâm worried it will anger himâ I tell him honestly.
âHe is in the office with Dakari, if you want to go down and see him, Dakari is about to leaveâ Matitus says, and I could tell he was listening in on whatever they were talking about downstairs.
âWill one of you come with me?â I ask a little worried.
âNo, you have nothing to worry about Eloraâ Dragus says looking at my hand where Silas promised mark is. I sigh getting up and grabbing the envelope.
âWhatâs that?â
âNothing a surprise, you will see it tomorrowâ He says a smile on his lips. I could feel his excitement about tomorrow bleeding into me and I was worried about ruining it. Chickening out I go to leave.
âElora hand me the forms, the name canât be that bad surelyâ He says, and I look down at the envelope in my hand. I walk over and hand it to him before sitting on the desk between his legs as he watches me.
âI love itâ He says pressing his entire body against mine on the desk.
âYouâre happy with it?â I ask and he nods. CoÕ¸tent оf DraмaÕ¸ovеls.cом âVery happy, thank youâ he says kissing me, his tongue running a cross my bottom lip wanting access. I part my lips deepening the kiss and I wrap my legs around his waist pulling him closer, his hands going underneath my shirt as he cups my breast.
âSo whatâs the name?â Says Dakari behind me. Silas groans.
âReally you had to choose this moment to come back inâ Silas says shaking his head and making me laugh at his frustration.
âSo what is it, whatâs my nephews nameâ He asks a smile on his lips.
âDarshan Aziza Draquinâ Silas says looking down at me before kissing my forehead.
âGood name, Strong like his namesakeâ Dakari says.
