CHAPTER 22.5 Adopted but Family
Last Updated:
2021-05-16 06:19:44I stared at the picture as Tay continued to talk about it. “There aren’t very many pictures of her, and I’ve never met her but Mom has talked about her. Apparently, she disappeared like twenty years ago. A lot of people thought she was crazy. She’d draw… dragons a lot.”
“Lexus my mother’s name is Mae. Are there any other pictures of her Tay?” I asked.
Tay rolled her eyes. “I’m obviously emotional, you can’t tell me you’re a mythical creature, show me proof and then ask me for pictures. God where is your human decency? Oh you’re not human, that explains it.” She rambled as she walked to the bookshelf and grabbed a scrapbook. She opened it and showed me a page with pictures of her mom and Mae.
“Wow.” My dreams of the future were blurry, but this was definitely how she looked. “I think that’s her; I think that’s my mother.” I looked at Lexus. “Now that I know her name and how she looks I can find her.” I took a picture out of the scrapbook. The one I took

Cade’s POV I had completed a request by Princess Hannah, and I answered my phone on the way to finish something my Dad assigned me. “Cade get over here.” Lexus said over the phone. “I need you.” I stopped walking since I didn’t want to get further from his room if he was requesting my presents. “I’m still working unless this is work related.” I was helping out around the castle doing whatever I could. Since I officially wasn’t an aid for Lexus anymore, I didn’t have an exact position here. I was able to choose just about any I wanted but I didn’t feel passionate about any of the jobs here. Lexus scoffed. “Call it work related if you want just meet me in my room.” I thought about being a guard, but my Mom wouldn’t be happy about that. Her worry isn’t unjustified. There weren’t many attacks or threats around but when there is guards always get injured. Plus, she’s been tense ever sense Aqua arrived. I hated that she felt threatened with my sister around, but I

I flew to the pack house. I walked to Sadia’s room in my human form and knocked on the door. “Cade? So, Lexus is canceling on me?” She sighed. “Again.” I hated lying. “He’s been getting more work than usual lately.” I walked in. “We’ve been having fun together though right?” I really felt that way. “We have.” She closed the door behind me and walked to her desk. “It sucks that I’ve been planning the premating ceremony all by myself. Well not all by myself since the queen assigned us someone to help plan but me and Lexus are supposed to be making the big decisions together.” I walked over to her and saw the wedding planner on her desk. “I can help, I know what Lexus likes.” Sadia smiled. “Thanks Cade. When me and Lexus are married and mated, I’ll start helping him with his work and we’ll spend a lot of time together again.” That is if Lexus doesn’t try to end things. I pulled up a chair and sat next to her. “Okay I want a huge flashy wedding, I’m so ha

Aqua’s POV I was in the great hall sitting across from Konn. “Okay now what was so important Aqua?” I pulled out the photograph. “Don’t get mad at me, okay?” I didn’t want this to seem like an interrogation for Konn. I was worried about my mother’s disappearance. The dream didn’t exactly let me know if she was safe prior to the dream’s conversation. She could be in danger. I pushed the photo to him on the table. “Does she look familiar?” Konn raised his eyebrows. “Where’d you get that from?” Things were looking good judging by his reaction to the photo. “Is this my mother Mae?” “Answer my question first.” It was clear to me that it had to be. “I went back to the human world to visit my younger siblings.” I was afraid of how he was going to react to that. “I saw this in my adoptive parents photo scrapbook. She looks just like me. You sent me to live with my mother’s adoptive family.” It would have been best for Konn

“I was getting there Fairy,” Konn continued. “The king and queen found out I had another child, so I had to bring her back. She’s been living in the castle with us for about three weeks.”Mae glared at him. “Three weeks? My daughter has been here for three weeks and you didn’t tell me? Why would you bring her to them? I don’t want her working for them… no offense.” She mumbled the last part.Lexus leaned down to my ear and whispered. “Do you notice anything different?” I wasn’t sure what he was referring to, so I shook my head.“Who’s he?” Mae asked.Lexus walked to her. “I’m Lexus.” He put his hand out to shake but she didn’t so he put it back down.Mae frowned. “Oh, the prince, that’s… great,” she said sarcastically then walked to me and we hugged. “There so much I want to say to you… I&rsq

Mae’s POVWhen I was nine, I didn’t have many friends. I spent my time running through the woods when my parents thought I was with friends or at the park. I’d make up adventures and create a whole new world in my head.One afternoon I went a little too far, I didn’t want to admit I was lost to myself at the time, but I was. “Why are we here grandpa?” A boy my age asked.“Son, your grandfather's intuition is telling him that one of the lost gemstones is in the human world. It’s our job to investigate. You’re the one who insisted on coming along with us on our assignments.” His father seemed excited. “You’ll see how important the last lost gemstone is.”I hid behind a tree and watched. The three seemed strange. They called this the human world which only piqued my interest more. “There’s a human close.” The Grandfather said. “They’re harmless,

A middle-aged woman answered the door. “Oh. I didn’t expect any visitors. Can I help you?” “I live on the outskirts of the town. It’s the house outside of the woods but close and there aren’t any houses near it. You’re the closest thing I have to a neighbor, so I thought I’d say hello.” I smiled. “That’s nice, I’m Betty. Would you like to come in?” She stared at the feather Konn gave me since I wore it as a necklace. I walked in. “This is a nice place.” I put my sketch book down. Betty sat down on the couch and gestured for me to sit next to her. “Where did you get that feather?” I covered it. “A friend.” She got up. “Don’t worry I’m not going to take it; I have plenty dragon feathers and scales.” She leaned over the side of the couch and pulled up a small chest and opened it. I gasped. “Wow.” I looked at my feather. I knew it had to be Konn’s dragon feather. “Why are you showing me?” “Because you have one and you

Konn was free to hangout two days later and we decided to meet up in the kingdom I was staying in. We went to a local cafe. “Did you fly all the way here?” I asked after sitting down at a small table.Konn sat down across from me. “Yeah, it probably wasn’t as far a flight as you think. Plus, it’s nice to visit the neighboring kingdoms.”I was so nervous. “Being here is a dream come true for a human witch. My mentor Betty would tell me all about this place. We planned this trip a year ago, but we’ve talked about it for years. Is it weird that I went looking for you even after ten years?” I blushed.Konn chuckled. “I guess it was unexpected, you weren’t exactly a witch when we met.”“Yeah, I didn’t start learning spells or anything about magic until I was fifteen… If you knew our chances of meeting again were slim because I’m human, why did you say you’d c

I went into my hotel room and cried. Gram held me the whole time. I decided to go out and have a good last day with Gram before she left that night.Towards the end of the day Konn messaged me to meet up but I ignored him. After a while I had to talk about it one my time to gram. “I don’t get it… we spent so much time talking before. Why wouldn’t he push having a family into the conversation?”“To leave the door open.” Betty answered. “Most men do it, but you’ll recover Mae.” She finished packing. “Do you still want to stay here?”I nodded. “I have to Gram.” This place was still everything I wanted; I wasn’t staying for Konain.She kissed my forehead. “I love you Mae, as much as the daughters I gave birth to. I hope your heart heals soon. You have so much love to give.”I nodded and watched her leave with her bags. My phone rang and I saw th

Quinn’s POVOne of the other kids pushed Zaya down so I tackled him. “Hey stop!” Zaya yelled as we started to fight then jumped in so now we we’re both fighting this kid.The boy shifted into his dragon, so we’d get off him then he shifted back. “Whatever, I don’t want to fight either one of you. If I did I’d hurt Quinn cause she’s part human and sick because of it. Plus, her mom is always watching.”I glared at him and stood up. “I’m not sick because I’m part human.”My sickness was common among both humans and dragon shifters.Zaya spit at him. “She could take you and her mom isn’t always watching, you’re just scared of her mom.” She grabbed my hand and walked towards the pack house. “Sorry the kids here aren’t like the kids in the village you live in.” In the village there were hybrids and other mixtures species kids

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
The Dragon Prince's Forbidden Affair CHAPTER 48.5: Future Visions
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
The Dragon Prince's Forbidden Affair CHAPTER 48.0: Future Visions
Aqua’s POVLexus shook me awake. “Babe, you told me to wake you up whenever you overslept.”I opened my eyes. “It’s hard not to sleep in sometimes.” I sat up. “You were really rough last night.” I blushed. “It makes me want to sleep longer.” I yawned. “And I hate going anywhere with visible hickeys.”I got out of bed naked, but he pulled me back and kissed my mark. 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

Lexus’ POVWe walked into Viv’s office. “True mates?? You're Kidding.” She threw her hands up. “I might have a mage employed who’s strong enough to prevent even a true mate from being able to know.”I sat down in a chair in Viv’s office. “I’m not cheating on my mate Viv. You’re either offering me a position or you’re not.” I cared about Aqua too much to risk losing her. Aqua is all I want, and I finally have her.She frowned and sat at her desk. “Fine but I’m not going to stop trying. I only just took over business for my parents so I probably need you at a high position, that would take a lot of pressure off of m-” She stopped when she saw a portal opened outside.I stood up and walked to the window. “Cade? He can’t be here for me since he hates me. Did you guys plan something?”Viv shook her head. “I haven’t se

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. I’m here to find w
The Dragon Prince's Forbidden Affair CHAPTER 46.0: Trust
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. I think you should start doing bigger things you know. Magic users and spell casters usually take jobs posted online
