I flew to the pack house. I walked to Sadia’s room in my human form and knocked on the door. “Cade? So, Lexus is canceling on me?” She sighed. “Again.” I hated lying. “He’s been getting more work than usual lately.” I walked in. “We’ve been having fun together though right?” I really felt that way. “We have.” She closed the door behind me and walked to her desk. “It sucks that I’ve been planning the premating ceremony all by myself. Well not all by myself since the queen assigned us someone to help plan but me and Lexus are supposed to be making the big decisions together.” I walked over to her and saw the wedding planner on her desk. “I can help, I know what Lexus likes.” Sadia smiled. “Thanks Cade. When me and Lexus are married and mated, I’ll start helping him with his work and we’ll spend a lot of time together again.” That is if Lexus doesn’t try to end things. I pulled up a chair and sat next to her. “Okay I want a huge flashy wedding, I’m so ha

“I was getting there Fairy,” Konn continued. “The king and queen found out I had another child, so I had to bring her back. She’s been living in the castle with us for about three weeks.”Mae glared at him. “Three weeks? My daughter has been here for three weeks and you didn’t tell me? Why would you bring her to them? I don’t want her working for them… no offense.” She mumbled the last part.Lexus leaned down to my ear and whispered. “Do you notice anything different?” I wasn’t sure what he was referring to, so I shook my head.“Who’s he?” Mae asked.Lexus walked to her. “I’m Lexus.” He put his hand out to shake but she didn’t so he put it back down.Mae frowned. “Oh, the prince, that’s… great,” she said sarcastically then walked to me and we hugged. “There so much I want to say to you… I&rsq

A middle-aged woman answered the door. “Oh. I didn’t expect any visitors. Can I help you?” “I live on the outskirts of the town. It’s the house outside of the woods but close and there aren’t any houses near it. You’re the closest thing I have to a neighbor, so I thought I’d say hello.” I smiled. “That’s nice, I’m Betty. Would you like to come in?” She stared at the feather Konn gave me since I wore it as a necklace.  I walked in. “This is a nice place.” I put my sketch book down. Betty sat down on the couch and gestured for me to sit next to her. “Where did you get that feather?” I covered it. “A friend.” She got up. “Don’t worry I’m not going to take it; I have plenty dragon feathers and scales.” She leaned over the side of the couch and pulled up a small chest and opened it. I gasped. “Wow.” I looked at my feather. I knew it had to be Konn’s dragon feather. “Why are you showing me?” “Because you have one and you

I went into my hotel room and cried. Gram held me the whole time. I decided to go out and have a good last day with Gram before she left that night.Towards the end of the day Konn messaged me to meet up but I ignored him. After a while I had to talk about it one my time to gram. “I don’t get it… we spent so much time talking before. Why wouldn’t he push having a family into the conversation?”“To leave the door open.” Betty answered. “Most men do it, but you’ll recover Mae.” She finished packing. “Do you still want to stay here?”I nodded. “I have to Gram.” This place was still everything I wanted; I wasn’t staying for Konain.She kissed my forehead. “I love you Mae, as much as the daughters I gave birth to. I hope your heart heals soon. You have so much love to give.” I nodded and watched her leave with her bags. My phone rang and I saw th

We stayed silent for a while watching the sky. “Is your father still alive?” I broke the silence.“He is but he moved out of the castle years ago. It was hard on him to be there without my grandfather. Ten years after his death he left.” It was hard for Konn to talk about. “…I was already the royal adviser for a few years before he left. I think I’m making him proud. He knew about you, actually he went with me to drop you off into the human world. He told me I was doing the right thing but if he knew you were the holder, he wouldn’t have felt the same way. He would have firmly believed in the holder being raised here. When he finds out you’re back and that you’re the holder he’ll be disappointed.
