The Dragon Prince's Forbidden Affair novel Chapter 71

I wish she would have taken me, but not really because I love my adoptive siblings. I would have loved to be able to come here and stay with her a few days whenever I wanted. I looked around. "Are you going to tell my mother I'm here?"

Betty laid down on one of the couches. "Not if you don't want me to. You're in a lot of distress aren't you?"

I sighed. "Yeah..." I closed my eyes and thought of my sister Tay. I saw her in our home. I opened my eyes and wiped the blood from the corners. "It's hard to use my abilities without pain lately."

"I can fix that." She got up. "Your heart is broken too?"

I chuckled sadly. "Yeah... we can't be together and there's nothing we can do about it."

"He's not married is he?" She joked.

"He was supposed to be... His wedding would have been in half a month, but he called it off for me. A lot of stuff came to light and we were separated."

"Oh." She frowned. "How about I teach you some magic? Learning something new always helped your mother cope with a broken heart." I never thought about learning magic, especially because I was born with abilities.

During the next week Betty made sure I didn't use my abilities at all. She gave me all kinds of magic infused soups and baths to help heal me inside and out. I learned a lot about the history of witches and their involvement in both the outside and hidden world. Witches and hybrids were the bridge between both worlds and helped keep peace between them. We were the representatives of the outside world to the hidden one. I'd beg her to tell me stories of my mother. "She would sneak the pixies into her room because she wanted to keep them. She even thought one of them could help her find your father since they could fly fast to the barrier or sense nearby portals."

I invited Tay over a few times. I had been in connect with her for the past three weeks before coming back here with Betty. Dad was able to get my phone magically adjusted so it could receive and send texts to the outside world. Tay was impressed by magic and even wanted to learn a little herself.

Betty had us go on hikes and meditate for so much longer than I would back at the castle. I finally tried my first spell which was a levitation spell. Betty smiled. "See, I knew you could get it. Sometimes you have to just for it even if it seems impossible." That stuck with me.

She stopped when I said he was gone. "The spell made it so he couldn't hear, smell, sense, or see you." She started walking. "No one will be able to find you Aqua. There's a protection spell on my house, no spell will be able to track you and I'll do whatever else I need to for you to be safe."

Another week passed. The holder nightmares had stopped. "You can use your abilities now but don't overdo it. Let's see if you have any side effects this time."

I closed my eyes and looked around the forest. There was no blood or pain. "There's guards from the castle here Gram. Fuck my father and brother are with them. They're coming this way." I freaked out.

Gram walked to her chest where she keeps her most valuable enchanted items. She put a necklace around my neck. "Stay put." She walked to the door when there was a knock and answered it.

My father was at the door by himself. "Hello, miss, I sense a strong magical aura coming from your home."
