The Dragon Prince’s Forbidden Affair Chapter CHAPTER 43.0: Who He is

Konn’s POV

Once I let Aqua and the others leave with the five gemstones I had explaining to do to the king and
queen. “I don’t get it Konn, what happened?” The king asked me.

I explained everything to them about Aqua’s holder dream and the truth about what Diana intended for
holders. “So, you let Aqua leave with the stones?” The Queen asked. “We can’t just forgive that. This
offense could lead to your arrest for treachery.”

Did they hear anything I had said? “Did you know?”

“No Konn but no other holders have made these claims before. We’re doing great things for the
kingdom. How could the holder do more anywhere else?” King Peter might have not been my best
friend anymore, but he once was. I know when he’s not telling the whole truth.

“Did you know?” I asked again.

Peter sighed. “Yes. When I became King, my father explained it to me. It’s altered history that
werewolves teach.”

“It’s not altered. Aqua spoke with the moon goddess who confirmed this. The moon goddess didn’t
speak to any of the past holders because they were groomed into loyalty. You didn’t care about my
daughter's well-being and you were ready to manipulate my son into being the holder you wanted. I
stood up. “I quit, so future generations of my family won’t be used. Call for my arrest in the name of
treachery, I don’t care.”

Peter stood up. “We were raised together Konn, call it manipulation or grooming but we were raised
like brothers. You would walk away from that?” No other adviser or holder could walk away from it.
They made sure that we felt a deep bond with the royal family so leaving would feel wrong.



I didn’t say anything, instead I walked out. He stopped being my brother a long time ago. I went back to
my room and only took what I could hold in my pockets. I helped Gray pack. “Why are we leaving?”

“We don’t belong here Gray. We’ve been lied to and cheated.” I left the room carrying his bag with me.

Cade was outside the door. “You really quit?”

“I’m surprised you’re not already gone but yes I did really quit.”

“I’m going to go stay with mom and her parents.” Cade said. “I can’t be here for any longer either.” It
was good for him to be with Lynn.

On our way-out Kaya and Polly ran to us. “What’s going on??” Kaya asked. “Everyone’s leaving, you're
leaving too??”

“You can’t leave…” Polly pouted. Gray looked up at me with the saddest look he could give.

I kneeled. “Do you two want to come with us? Gray and I can’t stay here.”

Polly and Kaya looked at each other than nodded. Just like that I had three kids to look after. I was
practically raising the two girls already with the help of Stewart and a few others.

We left for the nearest hotel and things were good for a couple weeks. I heard from Aqua and Cade so
I worried less about them.

I walked down to the lobby to take the kids to the park that was across from our hotel. Someone who
looked like Mae had just walked in the front door. It took me a few seconds to realize it was her. I felt
panicked but didn’t show it. The kids were playing on one of the arcade styled games in the lobby.

I walked to Mae as soon as she noticed me. “This isn’t a coincidence is it?”



Mae shook her head. “Aqua told me you were here… she also told me you were rejected. I came to
check on you.” I wasn’t planning on seeing Mae yet. Especially not with the kids around. “Why didn’t
you tell me?”

“I couldn’t start a relationship with the woman I had an affair with right after being rejected. How would I
explain that to Gray and how would I not feel guilt from Lynn knowing about it? Gray probably hasn’t
even thought about the possibility of me being with someone else. It’s really soon Mae.”

Mae frowned. “I’m not just the woman you had an affair with. I’m the mother of your daughter and the
woman you’ve loved for twenty years. Konn you could have at least told me. Is there ever going to be a
good time for us?”

“Mae, I've always expected us to be together at some point. I didn’t think that would be until Gray was
an adult.”

“You weren’t going to tell me? I didn’t think we’d ever be together.”

“I didn’t want you waiting,” I said.

Mae scoffed. “I’ve always been waiting.”

I gave her the key to my room. “I’ll be up in fifteen minutes.”

Mae blushed. “Okay…” She left towards the elevator.

I walked to the kids. “We’re going to have to hold off on the park. You guys are going to spend a little
time in the children’s daycare center they have here.”

They didn’t seem upset by the change in plans. I took them to the daycare then met Mae in the room.
She was sitting on my bed with a sad expression. “I can’t have sex with you if we’re not together



Konain, I can’t do it anymore. It hurts…”

I walked to her and kissed her. It was the first time I was able to kiss her free of guilt. I took her shirt off
and slowly got on top of her. I wiped her tears away as I kissed her chest. I kissed her up her neck to
right under her ear. “I love you Mae.” I whispered.

“Konain…” Mae felt cold, but her love was warm.

After we had sex we stared at each other for a while as we laid next to each other. “Um…” Mae broke
the silence. “Did that mean what I thought it meant?”

I kissed her forehead. “Yes.” I answered. “We won’t be able to mark each other for a while and I don’t
want you to officially meet Gray yet.”

Mae cuddled into my chest. “I’m okay with that… I’ve wanted to be with you for so long.” Family has
always been the most important thing to me, but it was equal to my work without me realizing it. Now
my family is most important.
