The Dragon Prince's Forbidden Affair novel Chapter 72

Gram frowned. "I'd hope so or I wouldn't be a very good witch. Why are you calling me miss it should be obvious to you who I am."

Dad chuckled nervously. "It is but I thought who I was wouldn't be obvious to you."

Gram shrugged. "I keep up with politics from the hidden world, you're a political figure as an adviser. Mae didn't have to say much for me to be able to know who you are."

"She spoke fondly of you too but the reason why I'm here is my daughter is missing. I know this is a long shot, but have you seen her?"

Gram shook her head. "No but what do you mean missing? Was she taken by someone?"

"No, she ran away."

Gram laughed. "She's an adult Konn, if she chooses to leave then you let her."

"I don't expect you to understand. I'm worried about her, if you end up knowing anything about her whereabouts please let me know."

"I might." Gram said before closing the door.

I waited until they were gone to take off the necklace. "Do you think he was really worried about me or that he was just looking for me because of an order like the first time?"

"The first time he knew where you were, he kept tags on you and checked up on you. Now he has no idea where you are. I think he is worried." She shook her head when I tried to give her the necklace. "I enchanted it for you. When I have to chant a spell to keep you hidden from Lexus I enchanted that for you the next day. You can keep it; I got the necklace from my mother, but I have tons of things of hers."

I smiled. "I don't know if I can hide forever."

"Hide for as long as you need to for comfort." She went into her room.

"Why me now? Is it because I'm the holder?"

"I made you the holder. I had the ability to choose whether the abilities were inherited by you or your brothers. I chose you because Konn had already made the decision that if Mae give him the choice to choose where you ended up that it would be in the human world. Even if he didn't send you to the human world you wouldn't have been raised in the castle. It wasn't likely at all." She started to explain.

She paused then continued, "I wanted the next holder to not be tethered to the royal family. I can't explain everything to you now. I chose you to have a mate as a reward to your family for all they've done for my species. Even though they've been tethered to the royal family they've still made me proud. Plus, it would make sure that you would at some point return to the magical world. True mates are destined to meet one way or another. My mistake was not checking who your other half would end up being. I choose my most passionate available soul, but he ended up being the prince which usually complicates things. This is all I can explain for now."

"What do I do now? What do you want me to do now? Go back?"

"I want to know if you will go back. Not to the castle but to the hidden world to live your own life as a holder. The answer is up to you. If you go back you should recover the stones, they'll help you reach your true potential as a holder. If you have them the king and queen also won't have the power to force you to do anything you don't want. I wanted the kind of holder I originally planned for and you can be the rest is up to you."

When I woke up I knew what I had to do. I had to go back.
