The Dragon Prince’s Forbidden Affair CHAPTER 3: The Prince

CHAPTER 3: The PrincePrince Lexus' POV
“You have to stop leaving marks all over my body,” Sadia said as she sat up in bed. “Unless you’re
going to give me the mate mark,” She joked. My parents would kill me if we mated too early. “Seriously
though Lexus you need to stop, it’s not classy.”
I looked down her naked body as the blanket fell to her lap. “Wear long sleeves and turtlenecks, you’ll
be fine. You’ll probably earn brownie points with my mom doing that shit anyways.” I used my lighter to
light my blunt.
Sadia got out of my bed and gathered her clothes. “That’s not funny because we need to be careful. I
shouldn’t have even slept over.” She’s been worried about my parents’ approval ever since we became
friends years ago. She cared about their approval more than I did, but it’s always been easy for me to
get it. After all, they didn’t really know me. They thought they did and I was fine with that because if I
wanted them to know me, I’d show my other sides. They have control over most of my life including my
education and many hobbies. You might not even be able to call them hobbies since I didn’t choose to
do them in my free time, but they require me to learn all types of non-educational activities. They didn’t
know how I actually spent my free time which reflected who I was a lot more. I did what they expected
and spent time with them with no hassle so that’s enough for their approval. “Whatever, we’ll talk about
this later when you’re not high.” Sadia and Cade might have been the only two in the castle who did
know me. They’re the only two that needed to, but my sister tried her best to tear down my walls. Sadia
didn’t live in the castle, but she spent most her time here.
I blew out smoke after I hit the blunt. “You can’t leave yet because my parents want us to meet
someone. Apparently, she’s Konn’s long lost daughter or something. Cade isn’t showing any signs of
being the holder so it might be this girl.”
Sadia frowned. “Oh, I kind of wanted it to be Cade.”“No shit, we all did.” I looked up at the ceiling. “The holder is going to be our adviser and we’d all rather
they be someone we trust.” Sadia and Cade were the only two I wanted close to me when I take over
as King.
Sadia held back a laugh as she pulled her pants on. “Could you imagine Cade telling us about his
dreams about the future? I don’t know how I’d take him seriously.” When she finished getting dressed,
she brushed her straight black hair in the mirror.
I put my blunt out in an ashtray on my nightstand. I didn’t finish it because I wanted to meet Konn’s
daughter with a somewhat clear mind. “Well, it’s probably not happening now.”
She turned around to face me. “Did you even know Konn had a daughter?”
I shook my head. “My parents didn’t even know. Konn never hid anything from us before. Makes me
think, what else is he hiding from us?”
“You’re too serious.” She walked to the door. “When are we meeting her?”
“They’re going to get her from the human world now, they have an hour.” I got up out of bed and walked
to the attached bathroom.
Sadia walked to me from behind. “The human world? Wow Konn must be out of his mind,” she joked.
“Have you talked to your father yet?” I found the human world interesting, and I’ll be able to see it for
myself one day.
novelbinI hadn’t talked to him and I wasn’t sure how I would. “No because it’s a complicated situation.”
She scoffed, then walked out of the bathroom. “Those guys are blackmailing you and it’s all my fault.” I
heard her at a distance.I looked towards the door. “It’s not a big enough deal to bring my parents into it. I’ve gotten you this far
Sadia and I’m going to keep protecting you. Let me handle it myself. If my father gets involved, then
he’ll know everything I’ve done in secret up until this point.”
It wasn’t Sadia’s fault I had a double life, it was how we met after all. “I know but their requests are
getting out of hand, and you should have cut ties with them a long time ago.” I started putting myself
together, so I’d look presentable.
I hated when she’d tell me what I should do because she had no idea how freeing it felt. Life in the
castle was amazing but boring. I wouldn’t change being the prince but meeting up with the local
werewolf pack gave me something I was missing. Some of them were friends and some were enemies.
The friends were the main reason I didn’t cut off the whole pack. Sadia was a dragon shifter like me,
but she was taken in by the werewolf pack at a young age. “It’ll be fine, trust me.” I walked out of the
bathroom and to the door. “Let’s grab something to eat before we meet Konn’s daughter.”
We walked down the hall into the great hall and sat at one of the tables. One of the workers saw us and
asked what we wanted to eat. After we told them they left to tell the chefs. “Do you know how Cade and
Vella are doing?” Sadia asked.
Hearing Vella’s name made my skin crawl. “They’re doing great,” I lied because it was better for Sadia
to think everything with them was fine. “I wouldn’t be surprised if they end up getting mated. I’d approve
of it.” Kings and queens had to approve the mates of their advisers. The mating process is intimate
since they’d share feelings and thoughts after. Their mate would have access to knowing all that the
adviser knows so they could easily betray us.
“Wow, that’s a big deal,” she said before one of the workers came back with small meals for us. “Thank
you.”I looked down at the food then we both started eating. After our meal we watched my parents walk into
the great hall. We got up and walked to them. “Hello Mother, Father.” I greeted them then so did Sadia.
I had an odd feeling, but I didn’t know what to think of it.
“It’s always a pleasure to see you Sadia.” My mother said.
I looked at the doors as Konn walked in and he greeted us. “Cade is showing my daughter her room,
but they’ll be here soon.”
“Hm.” My father seemed unsure. “It worries me that she’s from the human world. She knows nothing of
our culture or history. What kind of adviser would she make?”
“One with a new perspective.” Konn answered. “She’ll learn all she needs.”
I looked towards the doors as Cade walked in with his newly found sister. The odd feeling I felt before
was stronger. I had an intense pressure on my heart and felt static all around me.
This was the feeling described when someone found their mate. I felt lust and romantic attraction.
Being somewhat high made the feeling even more intense. I wanted to know everything about her and
never leave her side. But how could I have found my mate? No one had chosen mates anymore but all
I could think was;
Mate
