The Dragon Prince’s Forbidden Affair

My instinct was to climb onto the larger one despite it being difficult to. I did it because I had a dream like this before. Did I think I was dreaming now? No, it was too real but the memory of a dream like this was comforting. My adoptive parents stared in horror as we took off. I wanted to leap off and try flying myself, but I couldn’t convince myself this was a dream. In the dream I would leap off and shift into a dragon.

I felt a final gust of wind as we landed. Cade helped me down and Konn shifted back into his human form. “So?” I started, “let me hear it, why’d you leave me and when are you going to unseal my shifting ability.” I was straightforward with everyone except men who I liked.

They only manifest in one person every few generations,” he explained. “You’ll meet the king, queen, princess and prince in half an hour. It’s important that you make a good impression on the prince because he’ll be king soon and you’ll likely serve him most your life, If not all.” This didn’t sound as good anymore, but it doesn’t matter if I had nothing to lose. “Cade’s going to show you where
