I couldn’t stop Sadia from hearing what Cade said next. “So, you had sex with my girlfriend and was so regretful you started sleeping with my sister? I kept trying to convince myself that you weren’t a shit person for what you were doing to Sadia but it’s clear to me you are because how you treat the two people you call your best friends. You’re really one of the best liars and manipulates I know Lexus. You acted so concerned when me and Vella broke up.” He looked at Arma. “I guess you’re happy now, you were right, and I was wrong.” Arma looked down and frowned. “I didn’t want to be right.” She muttered. Konn walked up behind Cade. “Cade-“ Cade cut him off. “No. There’s nothing you or he can say. I quit; I’m not working anywhere near him. Tell the King and Queen that I’m sorry for not giving any notice.” He looked at me one last time. “I defended you.” He chuckled out of frustration. “You know I felt guilt just from the fact that I started to like Sadia even

When I got back from the human world, I looked in a few other places. I called her over and over again all throughout the day. I got back to the village and reporters were there. It had got out that I was staying in the elf village. The innkeeper's daughter was right about the neighboring villages. I was prepared to leave so I was fine with it. They asked me all kinds of questions, but I ignored them all. They wanted to know if I were exiled or disowned. They asked if I were romantically involved with the current holder and if I still planned on ruling. The inn keeper made sure they didn’t get inside.  “I told you they’d find you.” The girl walked to me. “You don’t have to leave; they’ll get them to leave.” I walked to my room. “I have to leave. I don’t want my parents knowing where I am.”  “Why?” “They’ve known my whole life.” This was my chance to breathe and let them know we’re either in each other's lives completely or not at all. I’m no

Cade had insight on my relationship that I didn't. “He once told me that he assumed you didn’t expect him to be monogamous before marriage. He made it seem like he only hiding it out of courtesy. I still think it’s bullshit Sadia. He would have told you if you asked but he knew you wouldn’t ask. He could have told you himself that he was still seeing other women.” “Maybe…” It made me think that communication could have saved my engagement. If I knew from the beginning that he’d see other women and would stop once we were married, I probably would have been fine with that. Only because it’s not like we were together before. It’s better I wasn’t with Lexus otherwise I wouldn’t have just had sex with someone who cares about me. “Anyways I had sex with you because…” “It’s okay, you don’t need to have a reason or need to tell me it if you do.” But I did have a reason that I didn’t mind sharing, I liked Cade, but it felt too soon to be with him.  I turned over

The rest of the week I tried talking to Aqua more, but she was trying to talk to me less. She stopped hanging out with Arma and Stewart all together. I walked to my door when I heard a knock. “Do you need something?” I asked my father. “Yeah, can I come in?” “Sure.” I stepped aside so he could come in then I closed the door behind him.  “Your mother told me you were upset with me and not speaking to me because of my affair. You know it had nothing to do with you, don’t you?”  I looked away from him. “How could it not? It affects the whole family, not just you and mom. I tried to ignore it but when I found out Vella cheated on me with Lexus I couldn’t anymore. Now I sort of know how mom felt.” I looked at him. “How could you risk losing us when I was so young?” I could see the guilt in his eyes and I’m sure he saw the disappointment in mine. “I don’t have an answer that will satisfy you Cade. I didn’t think I’d lose you, maybe Lynn bu

Arma brought in a new tv, she set it up for me then they left. I laid in my bed then got up when I heard a knock. I answered the door and saw Gray and Cade. They wanted to spend time with me, so we watched a movie. I’m sure Gray was the one who wanted to spend time and dragged Cade along, so it was a little awkward but nice. The next week I tried to get over everything that happened but there were reminders everywhere. I was able to see into the pack house and central city from here in the castle. I was using my abilities so much that they were getting better, but I was feeling sick. I constantly had headaches and the corner of my eyes bled a few times. The castle wasn’t the safe haven from the human world that it used to be for me. “Aqua.” Arma stopped me in the hall. She frowned when she noticed dried blood in the corner of my eye and wiped it. “Are you okay?”I shook my head. “You have to promise not to te
