The Dragon Prince’s Forbidden Affair

CHAPTER 40.0: Calvin’s Help

Aqua’s POV

I stared up at the ceiling trying to convince myself to make my next move. “Aqua, how long are you going to be here?” Mom asked.

I had been staying with my mom for a few days ever since I left Gram’s. “I don’t know.”

She sat across from me on the other couch. “Konain and Lexus were already here looking for you, they might come back.”

“What did Lexus say?” I didn’t know how he felt about me anymore.

“He promised me that if he found you he wouldn’t let you go back to the castle. I kinda made him promise but he seemed like he didn’t want you going back himself after I told him what condition you were in.”

“Maybe I should find him… ugh.” I sat up. “I should have let him find me…”

“Don’t have regrets baby. But seriously you need to leave, or all Gram did for you would have been for nothing. “

I got up, grabbed my bag and Dad’s portal splicer. “Okay, okay.” I hugged her before I left. I took my phone out and made a call. “Hey, you answered so you don’t completely hate me right now… I need to see you, it’s important.” All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

He was the only person I could think of who could be willing to help me. “I heard you were missing. Why should I listen or believe you? Why would you want to see me? What about Lexus?”

I sighed. “This is bigger than any drama we have going on, Calvin. It’s about the holder stones and Diana. I need help but no one can know I’m back, not yet.” Not even Lexus could know.

“Fine I’ll meet you in the forest near the pack house.” He hung up.

I put on my necklace enchanted by Gram so no one would see, hear, sense, or smell me. I used the portal splicer and walked through the portal into the forest by the pack house. Once I saw Calvin I took my necklace off. “So, what’s this about Aqua?”

I explained my holder dream about Diana to him in detail but left out the part about me and Lexus being mates. “You know a lot about Diana so do you want to help me figure out what I’m supposed to do next?”

“It seems like she wants you to steal back the gemstones. I’m not sure how you’re going to accomplish that, but I’ll help.”

“Actually, I know how. During my first holder dream I heard the code to the safe where they keep the stones. If they haven’t changed the code all we have to do is get in there and take it,” I suggested.

“Fuck.” He turned around.

“What?” I asked.

“The alpha, Luna and the next alpha can communicate with the rest of the pack telepathically. It’s how we know when someone needs us or if something is happening. The guards of the castle are attacking. They’re after the sixth stone.” I didn’t even know there was a sixth stone.

I put my necklace on and Calvin shifted and ran towards the pack house. I followed him and watched as wolves fought off the guards, but the dragons were stronger. While guards in the dragon forms fought outside the house guards in their human form slipped in. I closed my eyes so I could see into the pack house with my third eye. It was too late. They had already taken the stone and now the guards were retreating.

It was a hard lost. I went walked in the forest for a while because it seemed like Calvin needed to be with his pack. Then I got a text from him: Come in and show yourself to the other pack members. There’s no way we can retrieve all six stones from the castle without them. We need to do this as a team effort. Trust me no one’s going to want to turn you over.

I replied: What about Sadia?

He replied: I already told her, she understands.

I took a deep breath and took my necklace off and walked into the pack house. Everyone was staring at me. Sadia wasn’t around. Calvin walked to me and explained my dream to the rest of the pack. Ruben and Calvin were the main ones coming up with a plan. “This is what Diana wants, she wants the new holder to be as they were always meant to be.”

I didn’t quite understand. “What do you mean?” Diana vaguely implied something like that too, but I still didn’t get it. “The holder has always worked alongside the king and queen.”

Calvin scoffed. “Who told you that? When Diana gifted the holder, she told them her intent was for them to help the people of new kingdom among the people. That’s what they did, they connected with the people while protecting them. They didn’t stay in a castle all day doing the work of the queen and king. We keep detailed records. One holder became close friends with the queen, and they decided to work alongside her. The holder family line has lived in the castle since. Now they raise you guys to do the work of the royal family while teaching you loyalty and obedience, it’s disgusting. You were lucky enough not to be raised like that.”

“Aqua what’s the code?” Ruben asked.

“Um…” All I could do was think about my dream, about being responsible for losing the stones. Why was I still in the castle? It didn’t make sense. “33…”

“Write it down.” Calvin suggested. He handed me a notebook and pen. And I wrote it down: 336543.

The next few days we planned. I was staying in the pack house to have their protection. I was in one of the lounges late at night with Calvin. “So, what do the stones do?”

He looked at me like I was crazy. “You don’t know? Wow okay there are six. One helps increase your third eye while the second helps have more clear holder dreams and the third helps your intuition. The fourth and fifth give you knew abilities. The fourth stone gives you the ability to have visions of specific events while awake. You can even share those visions with others. The fifth one gives you the ability to see the aura of others.”

“And the sixth stone?”
