The Dragon Prince’s Forbidden Affair

I wanted to run to him so badly. “I’m going to head to my room,” Cade said. “I’ll see you in the morning okay?”

I nodded and walked in the direction of Lexus’ room. From a distance I saw the door open, and he was there. He looked at me and I held back the urge to run. When I got to his door he pulled me in. He closed and locked the door. “Lex-“ He kissed me before I could get a word out. I pushed away from him. “I didn’t come for that.” I wish I had but I was still upset with him. “You ditched me, you didn’t speak to me for a month, and I went through hell here.”

Lexus stared down at me. “I know. I heard it from your mom and the old human woman you stayed with. Do you know how hard it was for me to leave the castle without taking you with me?” He ran a hand through his hair. “I’m sorry. I’m not going to let anyone separate us. We’re back to our last plan. We won’t get married, but we’ll still be together, just in secret. Everyone else will just think you’re my adviser.”

I shook my head. “No I can’t do that. I can’t work here at all.”

“It’ll be fine Aqua. I won’t overwork you the way my parents did. While you’re working for them I won’t let them over work you either.”

I explained to him my dream with Diana and what Ruben and Calvin told me about the truth about holders. “That’s why I can’t stay. I came back with Cade so I could see my family and you.”

“You’ve been hanging around Ruben and Calvin the last few days?”

I rolled my eyes. “Yes but it wasn’t like that. It was just for protection and planning.”

“I could protect you all by myself Aqua.”

“You didn’t talk to me for a month! What was I supposed to think Lexus? You said we shouldn’t be in contact, so we weren’t.” I sighed. “Seriously, I want to be the kind of holder that holders were meant to be not the puppet to the royal family. I’m leaving in a few days or maybe even tomorrow.”
