The Dragon Prince’s Forbidden Affair

CHAPTER 16.0: The Dream

Lexus walked back into my room, I closed and locked the door behind him. My heart was throbbing and so what something else. I did what I thought I wouldn’t and made the first move. I grabbed his arm to pull him closer, leaned up on my tip toes and kissed him. It felt like we were kissing for the first time again. My inner dragon felt pleased.

He pushed me up against the wall and his hand moved under my shirt at my waist while the other arm was against the wall. We made out for a while until he moved his mouth to my neck. I moaned and dug my nails into his back. He put his hand over my mouth so I wouldn’t make any more noises.

We moved to my bed and made out with him on top of me. We stopped when his phone rang. He rolled off me and was lying beside me. He panted for a second before he answered the phone, “Yeah Sadia?” I felt a panic run through my body. “That’s fine, I’ll meet you at the pack house tomorrow after my last class, okay?” How could he talk to her so normally? “Don’t worry about it, you don’t have to worry about my parents seeing you sleep over so that’s a plus. I’ll talk to you later, okay? Bye.” He hung up.

“What was that about?” I held back tears because I was reminded that he wasn’t mine. It was so easy to forget that in the middle of making out.

“Sadia usually sleeps over on Monday’s, but she can’t tonight.”

“Your parents don’t approve?” I asked.

He shook his head. “Not before mating. We’ll be mates in a month and a half on our wedding day.” I hated hearing that. “Do you want to keep doing this?”

I turned my head to hide a tear that ran down the side of my cheek. “Sure…”

Lexus got up. “Are you going to be okay?”

“Yeah, I’ll be okay enough. I’ll see you in the morning.” I felt like he wasn’t hiding himself from me as much anymore, but we were still so far apart that it didn’t matter. I watched him leave then fell asleep.

“Trust me Aqua, you don’t want to be in that position.” A woman said but everything was blurry. “I don’t regret any of it, but I don’t want you to do through the same thing. I still want to save you the heartache. Stop seeing Lexus.” She looked at me, but I was looking at myself as if I was in third person and even though I couldn’t see her clearly, I could tell that she had tears in her eyes. I saw myself shaking my head and speaking but I couldn’t hear myself speak.

Everything shifted into another time and place. “Open the safe! 336543 is the passcode!” A guard yelled. “The gemstones are gone!” The guard panicked. “Someone alert the Queen and King!”

I was there again but I still couldn’t hear what I was saying. All I knew was that I was panicking. “It’s okay Aqua, we’ll figure it out, you don’t have to worry. I’m going to protect you,” a blurry figure who looked and sounded like Lexus said.

I felt dread the entire time until I woke up. I was woken up by an alarm. I got dressed and thought a lot about my dream. I didn’t forget a single detail of it. It wasn’t like my typical dreams, but it felt like the time I dreamt about flying on a dragon out of the human world. When I left my room, Lexus was standing right outside my room. “Oh, I didn’t think you’d be here.”

Lexus shrugged. “I didn’t smoke this morning, so I got ready earlier.” He walked into my room. “We have two hours until my first class. You want to smoke with me?” He asked.

I chuckled nervously. “Uh no…”

He pulled out his lighter. “Why not?”

“I have a mental disability that makes it hard to remember things and keep attention. I’ve heard weed would just make it worse,” I explained.

I was afraid about how he’d react. “ADHD?”

I rubbed the back of my head nervously. “Yeah, I wasn’t sure if you guys had a name for it here.”

“We were all in the same world once living together, we have a lot of the same terminology and language which is why we can even communicate in the first place.” He had a point. “Were you going to say anything about it?” I shrugged. “Or were you just going to struggle when you ran out of medication?” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“It wasn’t the best plan, but I was going to cross that bridge when I got there.” I walked to the nightstand and grabbed my medication to take it. “That reminds me… I almost forgot to take it.”

Lexus watched me. “You did forget.” He lit his blunt. “How’d you sleep?”

“I don’t know.” I took my medication. “I feel rested, but my dreams were weird. It was blurry but vivid. The actual dream was blurry, and I could see myself in third person, but I couldn’t hear myself.” I sat next to him.

He looked surprised. “That sounds like a holder dream. What exactly did you see?” He hit his blunt.

I wondered if it really was a dream of the future, it wasn’t of the past. I described my dream to him in detail. “I think it was my fault the stones went missing.”

“Who was the woman and why did she know what we were doing? You haven’t told anyone right?” He was more concerned with that than the stones.

“Of course, I haven’t told anyone. I think she might have been my mother, but it wasn’t made clear in the dream. My intuition is telling me she was my mother. I still don’t know what stones went missing, it just seemed important in the dream.”

Lexus lit his blunt again and blew out smoke. “They’re five gemstones that have always belonged to the royal family. They’re supposed to be used by holders to increase their abilities in different ways. Right now, the werewolves want it in their possession.” He put his hand on my thigh.

I blushed. “Oh… well we can prevent it right? It seemed like it was my fault, so I just won’t take any risks.”

Lexus took another hit of his blunt and blew the smoke out. “We’re going to have to tell my parents about the gemstones.” Would the king and Queen even believe me?
