The Dragon Prince's Forbidden Affair novel Chapter 93

"What do you need my help with?" I asked.

"This town has a gang problem, mages to be more specific. We don't need you to fight them, we have that covered but we need to know their next moves and what to watch out for. This is serious. Someone died because of them last week. I told the town that I could get this information for them. Is the reward I offered enough?" I felt weird accepting money for this at all. At first I refused it, but they never let me.

"Of course."

We sat down at her dinner table and she started explaining any information I'd need. I sat down and pulled out two gemstones. One I used to have specific visions to see when they'd next attack. The only thing I didn't like about this job was how many visions I had involved seeing murders. Seeing them was worth preventing them, and this was something I couldn't do at the castle. The king and queen had me using my abilities for politics and protecting the castle, sometimes the big cities. "How's Cade doing?"

I wasn't sure what to say so I put off answering the question until after I was done writing down the dates of the attacks and a few details. "He's good."

"Good how? Like is he with someone? Is he still at the castle? I know you, Lexus, and Konn aren't but the news doesn't really care about the adviser's son."

I put the vision gem away and pulled out the one that increased my intuition. "Do you really want to know any of this?" I closed my eyes and focused on the gem and what I wanted to know. I started writing down exactly what my intuition told me they could do to stop the gang.

Vella took a deep breath. "Yeah Aqua, I do want to know and I'm sorry about how I reacted the last time I saw you." She looked like she actually felt bad about what she did. "I was jealous and wanted everyone to suffer the way I was."

I put the intuition gem away and pulled out the gem to see auras. I closed my eyes, focused, then opened them. Her aura wasn't perfect, but I could tell it was improving. "Cade's with Sadia now, they're having a baby. He moved out of the castle and joined Sadia's pack. He lives at the pack house."

"...they're having a baby." She closed her eyes tightly then opened them. "I'm happy for Cade." She sighed. "He deserves someone like Sadia."

I pushed the notes towards her. "You can send payment straight to the coven, the same way you sent the down payment." I got up.

"Aqua wait." She stood up. "I'm really sorry if you see Cade and Sadia can you tell them that? Can you tell Lexus too?"

I shrugged. "Maybe."

"Aqua." She looked away. "I don't remember much about the end of the ball, but I know you were nice to me despite how I was acting. I don't know if I would have got home safely without the guard. You're the only person I know who would have sent one to make sure I got home safety. I didn't remember that stuff until after I told everyone you were sleeping with Lexus. I'm sorry and thank you."

I frowned. "You're welcome Vella." I sighed and left. I didn't hate Vella, nor did I think she was a bad person. I just hoped she learned something from what happened. I know I did.
