The Dragon Prince’s Forbidden Affair

The wolf in front of me shifted into his human form and I realized it was Calvin. “Hey, sorry if I frightened you. The guys sent me to see where Lexus had gone but then I saw you were here with him.”

I frowned. “You’re one of the ones making trouble for this village?” I was disappointed.

“Not because I want to but because a pack sticks together. It was Rubens' idea and he’s the alpha’s son. It’s not like I had much I could say,” he defended himself. “Although I’m glad I got to see you.”

I couldn’t enjoy what he said because I was thinking about how upset Lexus was. “You were just following orders…” I’m not sure if that could justify his actions but I didn’t know much about werewolf packs. “You’re not going to tell anyone about me growing up in the human realm and not really being able to shift yet, right? The King and Queen don’t want anyone to know so it’s kind of a secret now.”

He smiled. “Don’t worry about it, I told you I wouldn’t say anything, and I meant it.” I had to make sure because I didn’t give very much detail to why over text. “I wouldn’t mind sharing some of my secrets with you.”

Calvin seemed a lot different than Lexus to me and maybe that’s why Lexus didn’t trust him. It’s hard to trust someone who acts so differently than what you’re used to. “Well I-“

He cut me off. “I have to go, they need me.” He shifted back into his wolf form and ran off. I’m not sure how he knew they needed him, but I didn’t doubt it since Lexus went after them.

Fifteen minutes later I watch a group of injured werewolves running off. I noticed Calvin was among them and felt bad. I He was making life harder on the village so I couldn’t feel that bad. Lexus walked back to me in his human form. “They’re not going to be a problem anymore.” He sat down since he was dizzy.

I noticed his wounds right away. “Lexus, I thought you just going to threaten them or something.” I looked around.

“Threatening does nothing with werewolves, you have to show dominance. Ruben isn’t going to want to put them in that situation again.” He panted.

“I’ll be right back.” I ran into the village urgently and got a first aid kit from the representative after I told her what had happened. I ran back to where Lexus was, and he was laying on the grass next to the rock. I started cleaning his wounds and patching him up. “What’s wrong with you?”

Lexus chuckled. “Nothing, it’s not that serious Aqua, I don’t need you to do any of this.”

You’ll be able to have a life outside of that even though Konn chooses not to. When you get more comfortable with this world and learn how to fly, you’ll be able to explore it
