The Dragon Prince’s Forbidden Affair

Chapter CHAPTER 49.0: Return to the Human World



My mom called me over to talk about something important. “Okay so after a lot of convincing from Konain.” All I could think about
was how it annoyed Cade when she called Dad that. “I decided I’m going back home.”
I raise my eyebrows. “What? No, you can’t, you love it here-”
“To visit, only to visit our family.”
I exhaled out of relief. “Oh yeah, they think you’re dead or they did. They saw me ride off on a dragon the last time I saw them,
so they probably think that you’re with me or something.”
“Are... are my parents still alive?” Mom asked nervously.
I nodded. “Grandpa and Grandma are still very much alive. They just sleep a lot and don’t like being bothered.”
Mom laughed. “So, they’re the same. So, you were raised by my sister and her husband but no one ever talked about me? Not
even your grandparents?”
I shook my head. “Tay heard about you, but I think that's because she loves looking at old family pictures and she always asked
questions. Tay’s their daughter, my sister.” I didn’t feel comfortable calling Tay my cousin, we were raised sisters.
“Konn is going to come with us, do you think Cade will want to come too? I haven’t seen him in a little while. I think I should try to
spend as much time with him as I can, then as much time as I can with Gray too. Well, whenever I meet him.”
“I doubt he’ll want to come.”
Dad opened the front door. “When are we leaving? Is Aqua coming?” He had a packed bag with him. “Kaya and Polly aren’t
coming anymore, they’re officially staying with Stewart, him and his fiancée are adopting them.”
“That’s great Konn. Aqua’s coming, I want to invite Cade but Aqua doesn’t think he’ll want to come.”
Dad didn’t walk into the house. He just stuck his upper body in to talk to us. “Cade should come, he’s never been to the human
world on anything other than work before.”
I shook my head. “When you guys came to get me, he said it was insufferable and I quote.” I started to think more, and I wasn’t
sure if Cade was all that fond of humanity as a whole.

“I want Cade to come.” I heard a voice that sounded like Gray then Dad walked all the way in with him. Gray ran to me and
hugged me. “Are you coming too Aqua?” I made sure to visit Gray once a week for the last month so he wouldn’t miss me too
much. I loved spending time with him.
“I am.” I loved the idea of seeing Tay and my other siblings again. My mom looked really surprised to see Gray.
‘You’re going to the human world?’ Lexus asked.
‘Yeah, a few days I think.’
‘I’m coming with you. This is the perfect time for me to see the human world on vacation instead of briefly.’
“Lexus wants to come too.” I said. “We can leave when he gets here.” I already had a bag of clothes and essentials here since I
stayed here often.
Gray pulled away from me and looked around at all the magical items in the house. “Magic is so cool.”
Dad closed the door. “Gray, I told you not to run in.”
Gray walked to him. “Sorry Dad, I got excited when I saw my sister.” I looked at mom who was smiling.
Dad put his hands on Gray's shoulders. “Gray, this is Mae, she’s Aqua’s mom and a good friend of mine. Mae this is my son
Gray.”
Gray smiled. “It’s nice to meet you.”
“It’s nice to meet you too.” Mom said. “I’m glad you can come with us to the outside world.”
Gray nodded. “I had to beg my mom, then she got mad at my dad for mentioning the trip around me.” He chuckled. Dad probably
mentioned it on purpose. “She doesn’t like me going places unless she knows everyone.”
Dad patted his head. “Alright, that’s enough.”
Mom walked towards the kitchen. “I made breakfast, so we can eat while we wait.”
Dad took out his phone and made a call. “Hey Cade, we’re all going to the human world for a vacation for a few days. You want
to come with us?” “Yeah Mae and Aqua are coming.” He probably asked because of our fight. “What?” “Give me a second, I’ll
call you back.” He hung up. “Aqua can I talk to you?”

I nodded and we stepped outside the house to talk. “What did he tell you?”
“He said that you two aren’t on speaking terms and that you wouldn’t want to see him.”
I shrugged. “Yeah that’s true, I don’t want to see him.”
Dad frowned. “Did something happen? I finally convinced Lynn to let me introduce Gray to Mae. I want us to be all together as a
family Aqua.”
That’s all I ever wanted so how could I let my fight with Cade get in the way of things? “We disagreed about something.” I didn’t
want to tell him that his son didn’t like the woman he loved. “Fine he can come but I’m not speaking to him.”
Dad kissed my forehead. “Great, thanks Aqua.”
We were back in and ate while we waited. When Lexus and Cade got here they acted really friendly towards each other. Sadia
came with Cade and she was ignoring Lexus but came straight to me. “Hey Aqua.” Even though I hadn’t seen her since the
falling out with Cade we still texted. I smiled and introduced her to my Mom who was right next to me.
Cade didn’t speak to me and I didn’t speak to him. He greeted my mother, but he didn’t acknowledge her much after that.
We flew to the human world on Dad and Cade. I was with my mom and Lexus on Dad while Gray and Sadia were on Cade.
When we got there, I decided that Lexus and I would stay with Gram while the others stayed in the nearest hotel in the closest
city.
“Gram this is Lexus.” I introduced.
Gram nodded. “I met him when he was looking for you, come in.” I guess a lot of people met while looking for me.
We walked in and I was surprised to see Tay on the couch reading magic spell books. “Aqua!” She got up, rushed to me with a
hug. “It’s nice to see you again too Lexus.”
Lexus nodded. “Yeah, you too.” He walked to the back room with our stuff.
That night I went on and on to Lexus about how I didn’t want Cade around my mom. “And she actually wants to be close with
him, it’s a mess really.”

Lexus was half asleep. “Why does he need to like your mom?” He mumbled. “I understand that the last comment he made about
you defending her. That would have pissed me off too, but he doesn’t need to like her.”
We were cuddling. “He doesn’t even have many good reasons other than the affair, but even with that he forgave Dad. He
doesn’t see me and my mom in a good light so why should we have to be around him?”
Lexus brought me closer against him. “You guys love each other. You’re letting the way he feels about your mom get in the way
of your relationship with your brother. He cares about you and does see you in a good light. It’s hard for him to adjust to all the
changes, but he’s trying.”
“It’s been half a year. how much longer does he need?” Lexus didn’t reply because he fell asleep.
