The Dragon Prince’s Forbidden Affair

Aqua’s POV

The full moon ball was tomorrow so Stewart asked me to help them with last minute tasks for the ball. The organizers were working hard making sure everything was perfect.

I didn’t see Lexus at all yesterday and I hoped I wouldn’t see him today either. “I think Prince Lexus was coming on to me.” One of the organizers said.

“When?” Stewart asked.

“Like a month and a half ago when we first started organizing the ball.” So, before I came here. “He’d stare at me and wave whenever we passed each other. Other workers say he doesn’t even acknowledge them. He even stopped me in the hall once to have a conversation. He said, ‘Maybe I can get some advice from you about how to properly plan a party.’ That was definitely him coming onto me.”

Stewart rolled his eyes. “You’re a party planner and he has a wedding coming up.”

She smirked. “But then he said, ‘in private.’ I tried to take him up on his offer, but Vella obviously did before me and now he’s not interested at all.” She was so opening admitting that she would have let him cheat with her but who am I to judge? “Plus, why would he want advice on how to plan his wedding? We plan events for him for the most part. If he really cared about planning parties, he would have asked again but when he got what he wanted from Vella, he didn’t need it from me.”

“I hear my name I’m not stupid.” Vella said from halfway across the ballroom. There was a slight eco. Vella had dark circles under her eyes and her hair was messy. I’m not sure if she was really taking care of herself.

Stewart, I expect you to be ready to shift if something happened.” I couldn’t shift in case of an emergency so I’m not sure why Stewart would want me to go with him.
