The Dragon Prince’s Forbidden Affair CHAPTER 42.5: Breaking Out

CHAPTER 42.5: Breaking OutI 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...”
Sadia glared at him. “That’s not something I’m considering, well not anymore. Even if it’s yours I’m
having it.” Now Lexus seemed worried. “I’ll let you know who’s it is tomorrow.” She walked off.
I wasn’t sure what to say but Lexus did. “Do you know?”
I shook my head. “My intuition isn’t telling me anything and I don’t know which gem would help me with
that.” We started walking. “So where are we going?”
Lexus grabbed my bag so I wouldn’t have to carry anything. “Anywhere you want. I’d rather get out of
the kingdom all together.”
“I’m supposed to be using my abilities to help and protect the people of the kingdom.”
Lexus shrugged. “Does Diana really care what kingdom? I get that this was the first new kingdom of the
hidden world and it needed the most protection, but it’s pretty developed now. As long as you’re helping
people of her species I don’t think it matters where anymore.”
Maybe it didn’t matter. “Okay… Maybe but wouldn’t you want to stay here if Sadia is pregnant with your
child?”Lexus held my hand. “I don’t really want to think about that right now. Honestly, I don’t think they’ll need
me around since Cade will just raise it.” I didn’t think that was a good enough excuse. “Where do you
want to go?” He changed the subject.
I don’t know how I’d feel if Sadia was having my mate’s child. It would make things complicated, even
more than they already were. “We should just travel until we want to settle down. There’s so much of
the hidden world I haven’t seen yet.” I gasped. “When can you teach me how to fly?”
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.”
novelbinI 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.
