The Dragon Prince's Forbidden Affair novel Chapter 80

-

I did the only thing I could think to do next so I could show her how much I cared, I pulled out a feather. "Do you want it?"

Sadia's eyes widened. "When did you shift?" She stood up.

"I only shifted halfway when I was with my Gram. I've never given one of these to anyone... I don't even know if dragons want other dragons' feathers or scales, but this is the first one to ever fall off and it's important to me." I felt Sadia hug me and I hugged her back. "I'm so sorry."

"I missed you," she whispered. I think there was more she wanted to tell me. My intuition told me that she wanted me to know something important that affected both of us.

I think this moment was the beginning of earring Sadia's forgiveness. "I missed you too."

She pulled away. "There's something I have to tell you, but I have to tell Lexus too... unfortunately."

"Oh, okay." We walked out her room and I explained to Calvin why I couldn't join. Ruben let me know that I was always welcome in the pack house and I'd be treated like a member of the pack even if I wasn't officially one.

We walked outside and found Lexus waiting around for me. "Sadia?" He stood up. This was the first time he had seen her since she found out he was cheating.

"Yeah don't worry, I'm not going to yell or cry." She seemed nervous. "Okay so I'm going to just come out and say it real easy. I'm pregnant." The older child who was with her in the vision must have been who she was pregnant with now. "I have an appointment in the morning, and I'll find out how far along I am and that will tell me who's it is because of timing."

Lexus looked confused. "Who else's could it be..?"

"Cade's." She answered. "We're together. Don't worry I'm hoping it's his. I don't want you to be my child's father."

"Ouch, I think I'd be a pretty good father." He mumbled. "I mean I was Diana's most passionate soul available at one point," he joked.

Sadia rolled her eyes. "My soul probably just wasn't available. Otherwise, me and Aqua would be mate instead," She said to spite him, and I blushed.

Lexus shrugged. "Well, if it is mine you could..."

Lexus raised an eyebrow. "You can shift?" I nodded and made some space between us. I closed my eyes and concentrated then shifted into my dragon form for the first time fully. When I opened my eyes, it was like I was seeing the world for the first time again It felt freeing, I saw things so much different than with human eyes. I felt bigger in the world, I felt like I could actually feel a part of this world. Maybe I did belong here. "Fuck, okay yeah I can teach you, you're not a kid so it shouldn't be too difficult." He chuckled. "Shift back."

I shifted back and walked to him with a big smile on my face. "That was incredible."

Lexus leaned down and kissed me. "Come on." He started walking.

I blushed and caught up with him. "What was that for?" I noticed the sun was rising.

He shrugged. "You're cute." He looked around. "I can fly us out of the kingdom, and we can look for a place to stay from there."

"Okay but can I ask you something first?" Lexus nodded so I continued, "Should we be worried that your parents have the sixth stone? The one that could be used to transfer my abilities." I wasn't sure if they'd try to focus the transfer on me. I didn't know if we were on the run or what the king and queen were planning next. I hoped they knew that there was nothing they could do, not when I had five of the gemstones. I wasn't planning on ever complying.

"I wouldn't worry about it. You'd have to be there and we're not going back." He shifted and I got on his back. I wasn't sure where our journey together would take us next. I'd go anywhere with him and he'd do anything for me. I knew that for sure now.
