The Dragon Prince's Forbidden Affair novel Chapter 41

Mae glared at him. "Three weeks? My daughter has been here for three weeks and you didn't tell me? Why would you bring her to them? I don't want her working for them... no offense." She mumbled the last part.

Lexus leaned down to my ear and whispered. "Do you notice anything different?" I wasn't sure what he was referring to, so I shook my head.

"Who's he?" Mae asked.

Lexus walked to her. "I'm Lexus." He put his hand out to shake but she didn't so he put it back down.

Mae frowned. "Oh, the prince, that's... great," she said sarcastically then walked to me and we hugged. "There so much I want to say to you... I'm so sorry."

I didn't want to let go but I had to eventually. "You seem so different than our family already, but I guess that makes sense..."

Mae looked confused. "Why does it make sense?"

I thought the answer was obvious. "Because they're not our blood, they're human and we're not."

Mae took a few steps back and looked at Konn then at me. "Uh no they're our blood... unfortunately." She chuckled nervously. "And we're both human because I'm human... full human." That's what Lexus noticed that was different, he was able to tell she was human right away. "Your father didn't tell you? You're a hybrid."

"There's a lot I haven't been able to explain." Konn shrugged.

I wasn't sure how to react. This whole time I was embracing my dragon side but I'm human too. I thought I didn't belong in the human world for a reason, but I am human. "Come." She grabbed my hand. "We'll be right back." She led me into the room from my dream. "You can sit wherever." She let go of my hand.

I didn't like the idea of Konn and Lexus being alone together. Not with Konn having suspicions about us. "I didn't want to make being human sound bad..."

Mae put the plate down on the coffee table. She poured both if us tea and handed me my teacup then she sat down in a chair. "Oh, you're fine. I know there isn't anything wrong with humans and I used to say the same thing. It's just easy to act like they're the problem when you don't fit in with them. I mean here there are tons of humans I fit in with here and I'm sure you would too. I'm even a part of a coven, I'm a witch."

I was impressed that she managed to learn magic without learning it from a young age. "Humans live here? Where exactly are we?"

"I live in a newer kingdom than the one Konn lives in." Our kingdom was one of the oldest that are still around. "This kingdom is full of different species, hybrids and other mixed species." It sounded like a dream. "You could come live here with me."

I took a deep breath. "Wouldn't I remind you of Konn?"
