Mated to the Dragon Twins novel Chapter 6

Dragus POV

As I watched Aria disappear into the forest my heart felt heavy. When her brother grabbed her in the cafeteria I had never felt rage like it, I wanted to tear his throat out and when she showed me those bruises on her torso, I had to use every ounce of self-control not to let my dragon Drogon out and rain down the fire on that piece of shit.

Why both Darian and myself feel drawn to her is a mystery to me. and we haven't done much to acknowledge her in school, but there was this power around her that drew both of us in, sure we were both attracted to her. I mean who wouldn't be? she’s smart sexy as fuck. I just wish she could see it all in herself.

I started making my way back through the forest towards the school as I cleared the forest into the field. I saw Darian, Silas Marco and Carlos waiting. As I got closer I could see Darian had a grim look on his face. I knew he was struggling with what happened in the cafeteria but neither of us knew why it affected us so much.

"Where is she?" Darian asked. his gaze locking onto me, I walked next to him and put my hand on his shoulder and shook my head.

"We spoke for a while. I found her in the clearing. She was hurt before this happened, he....." I let my words trail off as I saw Darian's eyes start to glow.

"He hurt her, how?" I was torn between telling him because I knew what would happen if he let Draco out.

Silas Marco and Carlos stood silently watching our exchange, I took a breath and said:

"She had bruises all down her right side, some looked old, others newer, she said he had done worse but that's all she showed me." I tightened my grip on my brother's shoulders as I could feel him shaking with pure rage.

"Why is she having this effect on us?" he asked while looking at me with his glowing golden eyes. I couldn't tell if I was talking to him or Draco.

"I don't know but we will find out," I said as I squeezed his shoulder.

"Maybe she's your mate," Silas said as he eyed us both

"How can she be both of our mates? You know that's stupid Silas, one mate, to one dragon" Darian said.

The others had no idea why that looked just as confused as we were.

"Let's go," I said to the others and we started to make our way back to the school building. As we entered, Aria's best friend Ariel came running up to us, her hair wild, her eyes searching around and she was sporting a red mark on her right cheek.

"Have you seen Aria I need to find her now Colton is looking for her" she rushed out her eyes still scanning around us looking for Aria?
