The Dragon Prince’s Forbidden Affair CHAPTER 33.0: The Breaking Point

CHAPTER 33.0: The Breaking PointI asked Sadia to meet me in the woods near the pack house. We walked to a field. “Being engaged to
someone you didn’t date has been kind of weird right?” I started.
Sadia chuckled. “We were best friends before, and I told you I always liked you. It’s not so weird.”
I sighed. ”It’s been weird for me Sadia, it’s been confusing.”
novelbinSadia walked around a tree while staring at me. “Well, you like me now don’t you? We’ve been going
on dates and having sex. We didn’t do those things before we were engaged.”
“I know Sadia.”
She stopped walking and stood in front of me. “Do you like me Lexus?”
“Why do you expect me to Sadia? I didn’t ask you to marry me because I liked you. I asked you to
marry me, so you’d be happy. You were miserable with the idea that you had to stay in the pack
house.”
A tear rolled down her cheek. “I thought you cared about me so much because you liked me. I always
knew we weren’t marrying for love, but I thought we were falling in love…” Her voice cracked.
“I don’t think we should get married anymore.”
“What..?” She hugged herself. “Why? What’s changed?”
I reached my arm out to comfort her, but she moved. “If I get married, I think I want to get married for
myself. It’s not fair to you to marry someone who doesn’t have feelings for you. Look at you, this is the
proof. If we were marked, you’d know I wasn’t feeling romantic love for you. This whole time I thought
you felt the way I did. I thought this was only about getting you out of the pack house. I didn’t think you
had any feelings for me. I thought we’d eventually both get there after being married for a while.” Icould have fell for my best friend but not now, not with Aqua around. “You already being there and me
not is just hurting you. I thought you were more interested in being queen and living in the castle.”
Sadia wiped the few tears rolling down her cheeks. “I was just being delusional, Cade was right.” I
guess Cade was telling us both what we didn’t want to hear. “I should have never told you I loved you.”
I hated seeing her so upset. “This would have been inevitable, Sadia. It’s better we end it now.” She
turned her back to me and walked towards the pack house. “Sadia,” I called out then followed her.
“Just leave Lexus. I’ll come over later to get my fucking stuff.” I really did ruin my friendship with her. “I’ll
just go back to living in a place I can’t escape.”
I walked to the door and stopped because a wolf was growling at me. It wasn’t Calvin or Tam. It was
another member, and they were being protective of Sadia. They shifted into their human form and ran
after Sadia. I had seen her around a few times, she was a little younger.
I flew back home, and I saw Aqua talking to Arma in the Garden while they worked. She always took on
extra shifts to help her friends with their work. I walked and sat at one of the benches that they were
near. “Don’t forget to pull up the weeds.” I teased.
Aqua held back a smile and Arma rolled her eyes. “What are you doing here?” Aqua asked. “Do you
need me? I might not be the most help right not I’m feeling nauseous.
I shook my head. “I’m just bored.” I noticed Stewart and Vella were working too. Vella was working in
the garden while Stewart was leaning the benches. I guess the garden was a nice spot for a lot of
people to work and hangout today. Even Cade was hanging out in the garden with Gray and Konn.
Gray was sleep on Konn’s lap. The Guards all looked pretty cheerful. There were other workers spread
out in different sections gardening. It was a nice day, but it was hard to enjoy after what I did to Sadia.
Arma was concerned. “Aqua if you’re not feeling well you don’t have to help.”Aqua shook her head. “It’s a weird feeling, I think it’s a holder thing. I just feel like something really bad
is going to happen, but I don’t know what.” I was worried about her but if I showed too much concern
it’d be suspicious. I trusted Arma to comfort her for me.
I looked down at my phone to see that Sadia sent a message that she was on her way to get her
things. I got up. “Now I’m not bored.” I needed to get all her things together, so we didn’t have to see
each other for long.
“Where are you going?” Vella asked. “Your girlfriend is right there.” She looked like she hadn’t got much
sleep last night. I looked over to Aqua who was kneeling over now and Arma was rubbing her back.
Konn gave Gray who was still asleep to a Guard and walked over to Aqua.
“What are you talking about Vella? I don’t have time for a story.” I walked past her.
She grabbed my arm and I stopped. “I’m talking about Aqua. You ghosted me to sleep with her
instead?” She whispered. That really wasn’t the case because I regretted sleeping with Vella
immediately after. It was just poor timing.
I sighed. “No Vella, I ghosted you because you were with my best friend. Nothing is going on with
Aqua.” I said at a low volume so no one would hear but Arma was staring at us.
Vella scoffed. “I saw you both by the hiking trail last night. I couldn’t really hear you, but I could see you
two clearly making out.” She wasn’t whispering anymore. “You and Aqua.” She turned to Aqua. “You
think you’re lucky because you’re sleeping with him? It’s not going to last, someone else will come
along.”
She wanted to expose us, she said it loud enough for everyone in the garden to hear. Cade walked to
us. “Vella, this has nothing to do with you.”Vella glared at Cade. “No, it does. It’s his fault we’re not together anymore.”
“What? Lexus had nothing to do with our breaking up.”
I glared at Vella. “You’re making yourself look crazy Vella, do you really want to lose your job over this?
I looked down at my phone to see a message from Sadia that she was here.
Vella chuckled bitterly. “He ruined our relationship because we slept together, Cade. I was so guilty
about it that it ruined our relationship. It’s not fair that he did the same thing as I did, and you guys still
act like best fucking friends.”
At first, I thought anger was running up my spine, but it was fear. Cade looked at me in a way I never
expected him to. “What? You slept with my girlfriend? And when I confronted you about it after Arma
told me you lied.”
I couldn’t lie anymore. “It was only once, and it was a mistake Cade.”
I noticed Sadia walk out of one of the back doors of the castle from the corner of my eye. She was
looking for me to get her things.
