The Dragon Prince's Forbidden Affair novel Chapter 59

I didn't get along with Vella very much. "Figure it out."

Vella glared at me. "You're the prince so you can just talk to me however, right?" I ignored her. "I don't trust you Prince Lexus. I overheard what you said to one of the full moon ball organizers." We always went back and forth like this.

She heard me hitting on the other girl. I never asked Sadia if she was okay with me getting other women out of my system before we got married. To me it wasn't like we were actually together yet. "That's nice Vella, let me know what the reporters say." I said sarcastically.

Vella continued to follow me. "I can't believe Cade is friends with someone like you."

I stopped at my room. "Are you done?"

But she just stood there. "You really don't know where Sadia is?"

"She's not coming over today, she's announcing our engagement to the pack. She said she didn't need me there." I explained. "Do you want to smoke?" I asked because she still didn't leave.

"Sure, at least you're good for something." She walked in and we smoked two blunts. "Wow." She laid on the ground. "I'm so tired, I can't move."

"Already? Vella you're going to need to get off my floor and get out. Cade isn't exactly going to be thrilled with my smoking out his girlfriend to this point."

Vella stood up. "I'm fine. I'm just tired." She got into my bed. I sighed and stayed at my desk working until she woke up an hour later. "That was a fun nap." She yawned. "It's night already?"

"Vella why are you really here?" I wasn't going to act like I wasn't attracted to Vella. She had a nice body and face.

Vella sighed. "It's obvious..." She stood up and walked to me. "What do you have to say now?" She whispered seductively.

I didn't say anything, but I didn't stop her from leaning in and kissing me. we started to make out and soon after we had sex. I thought a lot about Cade afterwards. I didn't realize what I was risking until after I risked it. "Get out Vella. Now."

She got out of my bed and started putting her clothes on. "Fine, don't act like I'm the problem."

"If Cade or Sadia find out I'm going to do more than just have you fired. Your family will have to plan your funeral. This isn't happening again."

She didn't say anything before she left.

"I don't think we should get married anymore."

"What..?" She hugged herself. "Why? What's changed?"

I reached my arm out to comfort her, but she moved. "If I get married, I think I want to get married for myself. It's not fair to you to marry someone who doesn't have feelings for you. Look at you, this is the proof. If we were marked, you'd know I wasn't feeling romantic love for you. This whole time I thought you felt the way I did. I thought this was only about getting you out of the pack house. I didn't think you had any feelings for me. I thought we'd eventually both get there after being married for a while." I could have fell for my best friend but not now, not with Aqua around. "You already being there and me not is just hurting you. I thought you were more interested in being queen and living in the castle."

Sadia wiped the few tears rolling down her cheeks. "I was just being delusional, Cade was right." I guess Cade was telling us both what we didn't want to hear. "I should have never told you I loved you."

I hated seeing her so upset. "This would have been inevitable, Sadia. It's better we end it now." She turned her back to me and walked towards the pack house. "Sadia," I called out then followed her.

"Just leave Lexus. I'll come over later to get my fucking stuff." I really did ruin my friendship with her. "I'll just go back to living in a place I can't escape."

I walked to the door and stopped because a wolf was growling at me. It wasn't Calvin or Tam. It was another member, and they were being protective of Sadia. They shifted into their human form and ran after Sadia. I had seen her around a few times, she was a little younger.

I flew back home, and I saw Aqua talking to Arma in the Garden while they worked. She always took on extra shifts to help her friends with their work. I walked and sat at one of the benches that they were near. "Don't forget to pull up the weeds." I teased.
