The Dragon Prince’s Forbidden Affair

Last night Cade took my phone so it could have service here. I just finished getting ready for my tour of the kingdom. This morning he sent me a text saying they’d be waiting out front for me. When I found them, I noticed Stewart was with them. It was nice to see a second familiar face. With them were another girl I never met. “Stewart said you met last night, and this is Arma,” Cade introduced us.

Arma shook my hand. “I work in the garden.”

“That seems fun.” I was trying not to make it too obvious that I was nervous. All the friends I had back home made it difficult to socialize with.

“We’re going into the city by flight, do you know how to fly?” Arma asked.

Cade answered for me. “Don’t tell any of the other workers but her shifting abilities are sealed for now. She can ride on my back. I’m serious about secrecy.” He looked at me. “Everyone here is obsessed with gossiping, try to keep a low profile,” he warned me.

“You don’t have to tell me twice,” Stewart reassured us.

Arma joked, “You keep secrets up the ass, but you also gossip like the rest of them.” I’m sure Arma was included in that too.

the castle doors weren’t as big. “The first king and queen who designed the castle didn’t think we should enter in our dragon forms. That’s why the buildings are so wildly different. There was a time when our dragon form was seen as informal.” Cade answered my unasked question. “That’s what most outsiders wonder when they see the
