The Dragon Prince's Forbidden Affair novel Chapter 33

"There was an emergency, so Calvin and Sadia had to leave. Sadia sent me a text letting me know everything is fine but I'm not sure when they're going to be headed back. They might miss the fireworks. We decided to wait for them together."

"I hope you guys are enjoying yourselves," Konn said. I was since I was here with Lexus.

Vella was with them and she looked annoyed too. "Yeah, I hope so too." She was bitter in tone. She must have still suspected something was going on.

I wished I could spend the rest of the festival with them. "Thanks, I hope you guys enjoy yourselves too." I watched Gray pull on Konn's sweater. "Dad, come on, I wanna play that game." I wish I could play with my younger brother but I couldn't

I held back a sigh and watched them go. "Are you okay?" Lexus checked up on me.

I stood up and threw my paper plate away since I was done eating. "Yeah, it just sucks that Vella can spend time with them, but I can't." I took a deep breath. "But I'm fine."

"You don't have to force yourself to be." He threw his empty plate away. "Do you want to find a spot for the fireworks? Or do you want to play games too?" He joked.

I chuckled. "We can find a spot." I walked to him. "Did Sadia say anything else?"

"Yeah, Tam was out far drunk. I guess she's going through some stuff, but they found her. I wouldn't expect them back. Packs stick together. If someone is suffering the rest won't go out." He led me to a grass area, and we put out one of the distributed blankets to sit on. We sat down and I was feeling tired. Lexus bought mixed drinks from a man pushing a cart around selling them. "Here."

I grabbed the disposable cup. "I've never drunk before... where I lived in the human realm no one can drink until they're 21." I saw Arma sitting with some of the other workers, and she looked happy. Her family was still near, but she was able to spend time with her friends like she wanted.

"Our restriction is nineteen. Dragon shifters are built to handle alcohol a lot better. Plus, it's not a strong drink so you'll be fine for your first drink." He started to drink his.

I looked up as the fireworks started and I drank my drink slowly. The fireworks were beautiful and the moment I shared watching them with Lexus felt special. "You're really hot." I said once I started feeling the alcohol. "I didn't mean to say that out loud." I chuckled nerviously

Lexus chuckled. "You're a lightweight, we're not going to stay out here for too much longer."

"Yeah, but do you think I'm hot? Honestly?" The fireworks were getting more intense.

I finished first then he pulled out and finished. We made a mistake by both falling asleep quickly after that.

"I'm sorry Konn but I'm pregnant." My mother said. I watched her but she was still blurry. "I know you have a wife, and your son is only a few months old... I'm not asking you to leave them, that would be selfish."

"Bringing a child into this situation would be selfish too." Konn said.

"I'm not going to get rid of it, I have to give birth to it." She protested. "But I can't keep it either... I already love this child, but your child would just remind me of you. I'd rather forget." Tears ran down her cheeks. "Why did you tell me you loved me?"

Konn wiped her tears "Because I do Mae and I don't think I'll ever stop. It was selfish to tell you and I shouldn't have." He sighed. "I made a commitment to Lynn and Cade so I have to stick by them. I hope you can understand. This child changes nothing." My father made no commitment to me. Even though he helped bring me into this world he threw away all responsibilities before I even had a heart.

I woke up to yelling then I realized that it was morning, and I was still in Lexus' bed.
