The Dragon Prince’s Forbidden Affair

Cade’s POV

Dad stared at Lexus. “You’re what? Is this a joke? No one have been true mates in centuries.”

Lexus looked at me. “Tell him.”

There wasn’t much I could say because there was no way for me to confirm it. “Aqua thinks they are too, she said it feels obvious. They were planning on rejecting each other under the full moon during the ball but… yeah.”

Dad sighed. “No one can know you’re helping us and when we find her you can’t stick around.”

“I know.” Lexus shrugged. I wasn’t sure if he’d be able to, but he was able to stay away from her for this long.

After what he did I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to trust him. “She’s not with Mae and she’s not with her mother’s family.” I looked down at my phone and Sadia was calling me. She had been calling me all day, but I haven’t got the chance to answer. I sent her to voicemail again and I got a text from her: It’s an emergency, I have to tell you something. Meet me at the pack house as soon as possible.

“I tried looking in the human world, but the problem is it’s hard for me to cover a lot of ground quickly while having to keep hidden.” He explained.

low energy, and a broken heart. She was depressed and physically weak. She was healthy when she left because I cared for her. She tried telling your king and queen, but they didn’t care. They just wanted to exploit her.” Mae said a similar thing about being overworked. Aqua looked terrible but I assumed it was because she missed Lexus and wasn’t taking care of herself. In reality it was because of her workload. “I don’t want her being worked to death and neither does her mother.” She looked at Dad and Lexus. “You both shouldn’t
