The Dragon Prince’s Forbidden Affair

Lexus’ POV

We walked into Viv’s office. “True mates?? You're Kidding.” She threw her hands up. “I might have a mage employed who’s strong enough to prevent even a true mate from being able to know.”

I sat down in a chair in Viv’s office. “I’m not cheating on my mate Viv. You’re either offering me a position or you’re not.” I cared about Aqua too much to risk losing her. Aqua is all I want, and I finally have her.

She frowned and sat at her desk. “Fine but I’m not going to stop trying. I only just took over business for my parents so I probably need you at a high position, that would take a lot of pressure off of m-” She stopped when she saw a portal opened outside.

I stood up and walked to the window. “Cade? He can’t be here for me since he hates me. Did you guys plan something?”

Viv shook her head. “I haven’t seen Cade since the full moon ball. One of my employees will probably let him in.” One of them did and they led him up here. “Can I help you with something?”

Cade looked at me. “I’m here to talk to Lexus.”

I got up. “I’ll be back Viv.” I left with Cade into the hallway. “How’d you know I was here?”

I asked but Aqua didn’t answer. ‘Aqua, you said you would tell me when you were going to use your third eye to watch me. You don’t trust me do you?’ Why did I expect her to trust me? I turned off her availability to feel my emotions because I didn’t want her to know I felt guilty. I didn’t
