CHAPTER 15: I Can't Take it Anymore

The wolf in front of me shifted into his human form and I realized it was Calvin. “Hey, sorry if I frightened you. The guys sent me to see where Lexus had gone but then I saw you were here with him.”

I frowned. “You’re one of the ones making trouble for this village?” I was disappointed. 

“Not because I want to but because a pack sticks together. It was Rubens' idea and he’s the alpha’s son. It’s not like I had much I could say,” he defended himself. “Although I’m glad I got to see you.”

I couldn’t enjoy what he said because I was thinking about how upset Lexus was. “You were just following orders…” I’m not sure if that could justify his actions but I didn’t know much about werewolf packs. “You’re not going to tell anyone about me growing up in the human realm and not really being able to shift yet, right? The King and Queen don’t want anyone to know so it’s kind of a secret now.”

He smiled. “Don’t worry about it, I told you I wouldn’t say anything, and I meant it.” I had to make sure because I didn’t give very much detail to why over text. “I wouldn’t mind sharing some of my secrets with you.”

Calvin seemed a lot different than Lexus to me and maybe that’s why Lexus didn’t trust him. It’s hard to trust someone who acts so differently than what you’re used to. “Well I-“ 

He cut me off. “I have to go, they need me.” He shifted back into his wolf form and ran off. I’m not sure how he knew they needed him, but I didn’t doubt it since Lexus went after them.

Fifteen minutes later I watch a group of injured werewolves running off. I noticed Calvin was among them and felt bad. I He was making life harder on the village so I couldn’t feel that bad. Lexus walked back to me in his human form. “They’re not going to be a problem anymore.” He sat down since he was dizzy.

I noticed his wounds right away. “Lexus, I thought you just going to threaten them or something.” I looked around.

“Threatening does nothing with werewolves, you have to show dominance. Ruben isn’t going to want to put them in that situation again.” He panted.

“I’ll be right back.” I ran into the village urgently and got a first aid kit from the representative after I told her what had happened. I ran back to where Lexus was, and he was laying on the grass next to the rock. I started cleaning his wounds and patching him up. “What’s wrong with you?”

Lexus chuckled. “Nothing, it’s not that serious Aqua, I don’t need you to do any of this.”

I rolled my eyes. “I know dragon shifters heal faster than humans but some of these wounds are deep Lexus.” I continued to treat him. I could have to do this for most of my life. “You should try to think about something, so you don’t notice the pain as much.” 

“What’s it like in the human world?” He asked while looking up. “Are humans really as fragile as they say? They don’t live in kingdoms anymore, right? Have you ever met a witch?” 

I couldn’t help but laugh. “Did you hit your head so hard you have a sudden interest in humans?” I didn’t expect humans to be the topic he wanted to think about.

“No.” He looked at me. “I’ve always been interested in the human world. It’s so different from ours so it’s only natural. When I go visit it, you could show me around.” He didn’t seem like the type to be interested in something like humans, but he was. I guess the big different was enough to be interested.

I blushed. “I don’t know Lexus. The human world is a lot less free than this one. It’s mundane and the society is so strict.”

“You sound like you like it here. If a place like the human world is responsible for the person you are then it couldn’t be that bad.” It wasn’t that bad, there’s a lot I miss about the human world but the life I made there wasn’t worth staying for. “It’s going to be a minute before I can get up. I did just fight off five werewolves.” 

“Wouldn’t the alpha be upset when he finds out?” I’m not sure if I completely understood the relationship between him and the pack.

“If they told the alpha that I’m responsible for their injuries then they’d have to tell him about what they were doing here. Or I’d tell him about what they were doing here. He’d understand and they’d be punished. I have nothing to worry about.”

“Humans are fragile, they break bones commonly, they have common sicknesses, and they’re so emotional that they’re full of hate for each other. They don’t live in kingdoms but there are a few countries that are ran by monarchs. Most countries are a democracy. I’ve never knowingly met a witch.” When I was done treating his wounds, I laid down on my back next to him. “Sadia is worth all of this?”

“Do you want me to lie?” He asked again. 

I nearly said yes but I couldn’t commit to it. “No.”

“Yeah, her happiness is worth it, she deserved it.” He answered truthfully. “What would make you happy Aqua?”

I didn’t know how to answer at first, so I thought about it. “Being a part of something that’s bigger than myself.” 

“What kind of convoluted answer is that?” 

I laughed. “Well, what would your answer be Lexus?”

He turned to his side and looked at me. “Protecting the people, I care about. That includes my kingdom.” 

I sat up. “I guess that’s more straightforward. When I say being a part of something bigger than myself, I mean a family or a community. I want to be able to give myself and my love and receive that back.”

He sat up. “I understand now.” He stared at my lips. “You’ve never had that before?”

I licked my lips. “No… my adoptive family expected me to be like everyone else. They wanted me to socialize like everyone, get a job, go to college, then start a career. They wanted me to only do what was acceptable in their society. A lot of parents are like that in the human world. I gave them everything even though I was constantly falling behind. They didn’t give me anything in return. I was living for them instead of myself. I never could hold friendships so there was no community there.” I never talked to anyone in the way I talked to Lexus. I didn’t even tell my ex this stuff. I felt like my ex was just another person I had to wear a mask in front of. 

“Parents can be like that here too. Our society might not be as strict because there are a lot of acceptable directions to go in. There isn’t just one path. The only things everyone is expected to do is finish basic education and mate.” He glanced into my eyes then went back to staring at my lips. “You might not be all that better off here since you’re expected to be my adviser. You’ll be able to have a life outside of that even though Konn chooses not to. When you get more comfortable with this world and learn how to fly, you’ll be able to explore it more.”

“I think I’m going to be happy being your adviser…” He leaned closer but I stood up. “Are you able to get up now?”

He closed his eyes to collect himself. “Yeah…” he stood up and walked ahead of me to the village. He explained to the representative that she shouldn’t have any other problems with the werewolves. He flew me back to the castle and reported to Konn but left out why the werewolves were making trouble. 

Maybe the mate bond was frustrating me now.

I spent the rest of the day with Arma and Stewart. We hung out in one of the lounges when they got off work. “Do you guys like the prince and princess?” I wanted to know their opinion on Lexus, but I didn’t want to just ask about Lexus. I didn’t want to give them any ideas. “Well, I kind of know how Arma feels about Prince Lexus because of the Vella thing.”

“Yeah, that experience with him wasn’t the best. Cade is my friend you know and there still isn’t anything I can do. Prince Lexus abuses his power and doesn’t care enough about the people closest to him.” I had a completely differ perspective than Arma. “I don’t think much of him. I don’t know Princess Hannah too much outside of rumors, but I like what I know.”

“Prince Hannah I sweet, she always greets me when I’m working and she always thanks workers,” Stewart shared. “Prince Lexus on the other hand… he scares me.” He chuckled nervously. “You’re going to know him a lot better than us soon so many you could tell us what he’s really like. Cade only ever said he was cool.”

I already felt like I knew him a lot more than them.

Later that night I heard a knock on my door. I opened it to see it was Lexus. “What are you doing here?” 

He walked in and closed the door behind himself. He even locked the door then walked closer and closer to me. He had lust in his eyes.

I stumbled backwards almost knocking over the lamp on the nightstand. I was nearly forgetting how to push the right words out of my mouth. “We can’t do this… I want to be accepted here.” I mumbled because all I knew was rejection and deceit. Why would the dragon prince be any different? It wasn’t like the king and queen would let us be together. It was hard to say no when my body was aching with lust.

“Why can’t I take what I want?” He said with his hand wrapped around my throat in a way that only turned me on more. 

A shiver was sent up my spine. “Because you’re engaged…” I didn’t care about that the last time we almost sex until after, but I had to start caring. I loved my new home so I wasn’t going to risk it for a man I couldn’t have. “Because I’m supposed to be working for you and I don’t want to disappoint my family who I never knew till recently.” 

He leaned down and whispered in my ear. “Aqua you’re my mate, I know you feel what I feel. Sooner or later, I’m going to claim what’s mine. Before the full moon.” None of the reasons I listed mattered to him. All I could see was possession in his eyes. I stared at his lips as they came closer but pushed my hands against his chest to stop him when I thought about how nice Sadia was to me. He loosened the grip on my neck and pulled away. “I don’t give up easily.” He left the room, I was left with my knees weak and self-control hanging by a thread.

He was right when he said he couldn’t take the mate bond anymore and I couldn’t take it anymore either after today. I rushed to the door and opened it. “Lexus wait.” I whispered.

He turned around when he heard me and smirked.

    Lexus walked back into my room, I closed and locked the door behind him. My heart was throbbing and so what something else. I did what I thought I wouldn’t and made the first move. I grabbed his arm to pull him closer, leaned up on my tip toes and kissed him. It felt like we were kissing for the first time again. My inner dragon felt pleased. He pushed me up against the wall and his hand moved under my shirt at my waist while the other arm was against the wall. We made out for a while until he moved his mouth to my neck. I moaned and dug my nails into his back. He put his hand over my mouth so I wouldn’t make any more noises. We moved to my bed and made out with him on top of me. We stopped when his phone rang. He rolled off me and was lying beside me. He panted for a second before he answered the phone, “Yeah Sadia?” I felt a panic run through my body. “That’s fine, I’ll meet you at the pack house tomorrow after my last class, okay?” How could he talk to

    I thought a lot about how the king and queen would react with me telling them about my holder dream. They didn't expect much of me since I'm from the human world. “Why should we tell your parents?” I asked. Lexus put his blunt out and put it away. “They need to know that you are the holder, this is proof. And we’ll feel even worse if we didn’t take the very precaution in stopping this from happening. If they know then our chances of changing the possible future are higher.” “Okay. We’ll tell them after your last class.” He leaned forward to kiss me, but I moved away. “What’s wrong?” I was thinking about what the woman said about how I should stop seeing Lexus. “Last night felt amazing but what about Sadia?” I wasn’t close to Sadia, but she saw us as friends. “She won’t know, we can continue this until the full moon. We can reject each other then get rid of the X. Well stop, then I’ll mate with Sadia a month later.” I wasn’t sure if I cou

    I stood beside Lexus in front of his parents King Peter and Queen Jane with Konn behind us. “You believe you’re the holder?” “We believe she’s the holder because of the power of sight in her third eye. She also had a holder dream last night,” Lexus answered. The King looked down at me. “What have you seen with your third eye?” I thought about Cade arguing with Vella during work and Princess Hannah sneaking out to ditch class. I couldn’t say either of those because it would throw them under the bus. “I saw Konn speaking with the two of you here this morning. You two were disagreeing about something then Konn left, and Gray was waiting for him outside the door.” I looked at their desk. “There were papers on the desk, documents of the kingdom’s complaints.” I tried to remember other details that were different. I looked at the tv. “An interview was playing on the tv.” “That's enough,” The Queen stopped me. “We believe you. Now what was your d

    My eyes rolled back with pleasure and he put his hand down my pants. Like last time we were interrupted by his phone ringing. He pulled away and answered his phone. “Sadia?” Sadia called again; the universe must have hated me. “Hannah told me to call you before the guards took her back to the castle. She was in the forest about midway from the pack house and castle.” “Do you want me to head over?” “Come over around eight, I have work to do.” So, Lexus had work too. He hung up then put his phone away. “Come on let’s get this work done. My parents like to give me responsibilities, like how we helped that village. Some of it is paperwork and some of it is making calls. Cade helps with this stuff usually and he was going to today but you’re my full-time aid now so he’ll be assigned something else.” I was still sexually frustrated while he completely moved on. “Okay…” “Are you a virgin?” He asked. I wasn’t expecting

    “I’m glad you enjoyed your classes so much,” Lexus replied after I went on and on telling him about how much I loved them and everything I learned today. “You were really focused on our piano lesson.” “Yeah, I was hyper focused…” I mumbled. “It was exciting. I haven’t learned a new instrument for a while.” He looked concerned. “Hyper focused? Did you take your meds this morning?” I looked away nervously. “No… I was so excited for the day I forgot to but it’s fine. Hyper focusing isn’t the worst thing.” “It was hard to get you to want to leave, the lesson went on for another twenty minutes. You must be hungry right?” It wasn’t like he was my boyfriend so it was hard seeing him care so much when he would only be my boss or something like that. “That’s because time went too fast.” I sighed. “Yeah, I am hungry... I’ve been hungry for a while. I’m supposed to be the one looking after you, it’s my job.” Lexus rolled his eyes. “That doe

    It was almost hard to believe that it was normal here to be so close to your family when mine abandoned me. I guess we weren’t much of a family to begin with since I wasn’t Lynn’s daughter. “You should keep me updated on how things go.” “I will,” Arma agreed. Princess Hannah was walking down the hall in our direction. She had a girl with her. “Aqua, are you busy?” She stopped walking when she got to me to ask. I shook my head. “No, not at all.” “Aqua this is Lydia. Lydia, this is Aqua, our adviser’s daughter.” She introduced us. I smiled. “It’s nice to meet you, Lydia.” Lydia looked confused to why we were being introduced and so was I. “It’s nice to meet you too…” She was the shy type. She grabbed Hannah's arm and didn’t say anything else. “That’s all.” Hannah walked off with Lydia. I didn’t really know Hannah, so I assumed she some kind of ulterior motive to introducing me to her friend. I didn’t have a good feeling abo

    I wasn’t looking forward to my second class of the day since it was just Konn teaching me how to do his job. “I do a lot more than just advise. While the king and queen run the kingdom, I help them out by running the castle so that everything else is easier for them. The guards report to me if they see or deal with anything out of the ordinary. I deal with it then I report what’s important to the king and queen. I also filter a lot of their work out from most important to least important and take care of whatever other tasks they give me.” He was making their job a lot easier on them. Lexus called me this morning and made sure I took my medication, so I was able to concentrate well. The reason I wasn’t looking forward to this was because of yesterday and how I got upset about not being included in his family. “Noted.” I said without physically taking notes. “You’re not interested?” Konn asked so I guess I wasn’t doing the best job hiding my emotions. I

    I didn’t have a relationship with Konn before, so I didn’t have the same feelings as they did. “It was like a normal lesson,” I answered while staring down at the paperwork. “I think I upset him.” It was better for me to open up instead of what I was doing before. Cade was my older brother so I felt like I should get advice rom him and to do that I have to open up Cade stopped writing and looked at me. “What do you mean? He’s not very expressive of how he feels, maybe you misunderstood.” I read through the first document then spoke. “I think I’m stressing him out by being here. He said things were hard and that we all were trying to adjust.” I put my elbow on the desk and rest my head in my hand. “Things would be easier if you or Gray were the holder instead of me. Then Konn never would have had to come get me.” Cade scoffed. “You really would want that? Obviously, things are going to be difficult at first Aqua. You’ve been here for less than a month. Out of

    In the morning we got ready. “You still haven’t told me how work’s been.”Lexus chuckled. “We’re on vacation, I don’t want to talk about work.” I looked at him seriously. “Fine, work is good. I’m practically running Viv’s business myself. We’re considered partners now.”“What do you even do?” I felt weird that I didn’t know but it’s not like I didn’t try talking about it before.“She’s a noble. Her business is creating work for the people of her kingdom, selling them land, and giving them protection. She works closely with the king and queen too.” I noticed he was feeling admiration for Viv.“How do you feel about Viv?”Lexus sighed. “She’s always been a really good friend, she’s still a really good friend. I enjoy her company and I missed her but not in a sexual or romantic way.” Since we

    My mom called me over to talk about something important. “Okay so after a lot of convincing from Konain.” All I could think about was how it annoyed Cade when she called Dad that. “I decided I’m going back home.”I raise my eyebrows. “What? No, you can’t, you love it here-”“To visit, only to visit our family.”I exhaled out of relief. “Oh yeah, they think you’re dead or they did. They saw me ride off on a dragon the last time I saw them, so they probably think that you’re with me or something.”“Are… are my parents still alive?” Mom asked nervously.I nodded. “Grandpa and Grandma are still very much alive. They just sleep a lot and don’t like being bothered.”Mom laughed. “So, they’re the same. So, you were raised by my sister and her husband but no one ever talked about me? Not even your grandparents?&r

    I did a few more jobs, some required the gems, but most didn’t. At first I was doing jobs that asked for a magic user but now that people knew the current holder was taking jobs they asked for me specifically. My coven went through a lot of the jobs and sorted them for me from least difficult to most difficult. Other covens and sorceress agencies tried to recruit me, but I liked staying with the one who delivered me as a baby and that my mom was a part of. Once I was done I met Cade and Sadia at a small restaurant. “Hey.” I sat down and put my bag under the chair. Cade smiled. “I assumed you’d be late since you’ve been so busy with working.” I shrugged, “I do as much as I can since Gram warned me about how long I should be working a day. I don’t want to overwork myself again. I usually work when Lexus is working.” Sadia was staring at the menu, and she wasn’t saying anything. Cade spoke instead, “How’s he doing working with Viv?” I

Marks are really sensitive if someone else touches our marks the other will feel pain. When we touch each other's marks, we feel… pleasure. “I wish I could go with you today.”I rolled my eyes. “You have to start work don’t you?” I moaned when he kissed my mark again then pulled away and got up.“Yeah I do but I still wish I could go with you.” He got up. “If you get back before me you should start packing.”“Packi

    I took a deep breath and got ready to explain. “Fine, I went to go see a friend about a job, but you know that don’t you because you used one of the gemstones to spy on me then you sent Cade.” Aqua glared at me. “You’re avoiding the question. Yes I used one of the gems, but I didn’t send Cade. I told him who you were with and he felt the need to confront you. I told him he didn’t have to go and that I trusted you, but he went anyways.” “Viv put her hand on my shoulder and gave me quick peck on the cheek. That’s all,” I explained. ‘The conversation didn’t sound like that was all,’she thought. “You can hear what you see with your third eye?” I didn’t realize that she could hear our whole conversation, that put me in an awkward position. She sat down on the bed. “Only with the gem, you’re constantly reading my mind which I’m fine with, but I can’t read yours if we’re not together." She sighed. “This is stupid, this isn’t worth fighting over

You’re either offering me a position or you’re not.” I cared about Aqua too much to risk losing her.

    The woman Lexus was with stopped when she got to the top of the staircase. “You don’t have to walk so far behind me. You're mated aren’t you? I’ve heard rumors about it, apparently you ran off with the holder and you’re marked. You both are very controversial now.” Lexus chuckled. “Yeah I know. If you knew I might have been marked then why would you touch my shoulder and kiss me?” I didn’t feel good after hearing that someone kissed him, but I didn’t stop watching because I had faith in him. She leaned over the staircase railing. “I kissed your cheek, it’s not a big deal. I just wanted to mess with you. I think I can offer you a job since you are a childhood friend.” She gave an expression of thinking. “You’ve been taught to rule since you were like twelve so I can offer you a job to be in charge of one of our branches.” She walked down the hall. “It’s a shame you’re marked.” “Viv, I’m not here for you to realize your childhood crush.

    Mom and I were on her bed in our pajamas drinking tea, “So is Lexus always high?” Mom asked. We were on the topic of relationships, so I guess that’s why she had to throw that question in. I chuckled nervously. “Only a quarter of the time. More often now that we’re not in the castle anymore. Do you think that’s bad?” Mom shook her head. “I guess it’s fine as long as he does what he needs to do.” She took a sip of her tea then said, “It was just a little bit of a surprise seeing him like that after dinner two weeks ago.” I could understand that. “Mom… have you been keeping up with the news? Everyone’s calling me a trader.” Mom sighed. “Yeah I’ve seen it. Don’t let it get to you Aqua, you’ve been doing good.” I had told her about the little things I was doing for the village I was staying in and the neighboring villages.
