The Dragon Prince's Forbidden Affair novel Chapter 76

We sat in silence for a while before I broke it. "I'm really sorry about what happened between us."

Calvin shrugged. "I would have chosen a Prince over a future Beta too," he joked.

"I didn't tell you all of my dream... me and Lexus are mates. In the dream she explained why she chose us to be. I needed a mate to ensure that I'd come back and not stay in the human world."

"What? I guess that's possible, Diana has the power." He turned around. "Wait, someone's up. Sadia?" My heart skipped a beat.

Sadia walked from around the corner into sight. "I was coming to let someone in..." This was the first time I saw her since I had been here. "Are you and Lexus really mates? Or is that just another lie?"

I didn't know what else to say. "We are..."

She stared at me for a while. "I gotta go let them in..." She turned around.

"Wait who?" Calvin asked.

"Cade."

"You can't let him in Sadia." He turned to me. "You have your necklace don't you?" I nodded and pulled it out of my pocket. I wanted to see my brother, but it wasn't the best idea.

"Are you serious? Cade's been worried sick about Aqua." I wasn't sure if Cade would care at all after how terrible of a disappointment as a sister he said I was. "Everyone in the castle already knows she's here."

I frowned. "How?"

"They have an oracle who they had a vision. I just found out now. Cade isn't going to drag you back." She walked out of the longue and down the hall to the entrance.

I put my necklace back in my pocket and took a deep breath. I stood up when Cade walked into the longue and the first thing he did was hug me. "I'm sorry about what I said."

"It's okay... I'm sorry I wasn't there for you." It felt like we hadn't seen each other in so long but it was only a few weeks. "I'm better now, I promise I won't push you away." I wanted to be a good sister.

Cade pulled away. "The king and queen want you come back but I'm not going to force you."

"No way." Calvin said. "That's not what our goddess wants."

"If you come back you can be with Lexus. They know your mates now. They're fine with you being together just not in the public's eye. They're giving you two options. That or using the sixth stone we can transfer your holder abilities from you to someone else. They won't bother you anymore and you can be with Lexus. Either way you can be with Lexus, if you don't take either offer they won't stop trying."

I didn't love either of those options. I loved my abilities, and the moon goddess chose me to have them for a reason. "Aqua, we already have a plan, you don't have to go along with this," Calvin reminded me.
