The Dragon Prince’s Forbidden Affair

Chapter 84: EPILOGUE

Quinn’s POV

One of the other kids pushed Zaya down so I tackled him. “Hey stop!” Zaya yelled as we started to fight then jumped in so now we we’re both fighting this kid.

The boy shifted into his dragon, so we’d get off him then he shifted back. “Whatever, I don’t want to fight either one of you. If I did I’d hurt Quinn cause she’s part human and sick because of it. Plus, her mom is always watching.”

I glared at him and stood up. “I’m not sick because I’m part human.” My sickness was common among both humans and dragon shifters.

Zaya spit at him. “She could take you and her mom isn’t always watching, you’re just scared of her mom.” She grabbed my hand and walked towards the pack house. “Sorry the kids here aren’t like the kids in the village you live in.” In the village there were hybrids and other mixtures species kids everywhere so none of us made fun of each other for it. “He’s one of those kids who always come to mess with our pack.” I always felt a part of my cousin’s pack, she made sure of it.

I coughed. “It’s fine, you didn’t have to spit at him though.” I laughed.

We walked into the pack house and my uncle Cade scolded us. “You two are always getting in fights with other kids at ten and twelve years old?” He said as Aunt Sadia cleaned and put bandages on our cuts. “I’m going to call Quinn’s parents to pick her up.”

I frowned. “Uncle Cade, it’s not our fault, those kids always mess with us.”

“Cade, you’re overreacting they’re fine.” She looked at us. “How about you guys go over Quinn’s house for a few days?”

So, they dropped us off in the village and we walked into my home. “Mom, Aunt Sadia dropped off me and Zaya!” I yelled.

“Okay!” Mom yelled back from the kitchen. I walked to the kitchen and noticed Grandma and Grandpa were there. I walked to them and hugged them and so did Zaya.

“Maeve tell them the good news.” Grandpa said.

Grandma frowned. “Konain, you’ve been calling me that for fifteen years.”

Grandpa chuckled. “You were calling me by my full name for twenty years before I even knew you had a fuller name.”

“That’s why you didn’t know.” She looked at us. “We’re all going to the full moon ball tonight.”

I gasped. “We’re all going??” My parents have gone a few times, but they said kids weren’t invited so me and my younger brother never did. “I thought we couldn’t.”

“This is a more family themed full moon ball.” My Dad said.

“You’re so lucky Quinn, you get to go to all sorts of things because your Dad is a Noble, your mom is the holder, and your Aunt is a Queen.”

I rolled my eyes. “I take you to stuff when I can, my parents are your aunt and uncle, so you still get stuff.” I coughed.

“Your mom, dad and brother are going to the ball too Zaya.” Dad Said.

When we got to the ball everything was as magical as the last ball we went to but even more so. “Zaya, Quinn.” My mom called us over. “These are your great grandparents.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Great grandpa gave mom a bag. “All the journals are in there, I’m sorry it took me so long. I’ve seen all the good you’ve done…”

“He approves.” Great grandma said. “And he apologies, he thinks his father would be proud of the holder you’ve become.” I started felling nauseous and dizzy but I was having so much fun with Zaya.

Later we were sitting at a table and Aunt Hannah and Aunt Lydia sat down. “We haven’t been ruling for long, but it’s been hard.” She pulled out a box and put it on the table. “I have access to the sixth gem now that I’m Queen. It’s yours.” She looked at my Dad. “Don’t tell mom and dad. It was already hard enough to get them to approve of me marrying Lydia. They got softer after you left but not soft enough to let this go. I think they always viewed it as hope that one day the holder could be brought back to serve us.”

Mom smiled. “Thanks Hannah, we appreciate this.”

I had so much fun all night until I collapsed and all I heard was Zaya yelling my name. I woke up in the hospital. “We’ve tried everything, magic hasn’t worked yet, why would it work now?” They didn’t have a cure for my condition and doctors are surprised I’ve lived this long. Magic was able to prolong the fatality of my condition but so far it hasn’t been able to provide a permanent fix. Mom saw a lot of things coming but not this.

“Because I’m stronger now and I’ve learned more about magic. I just needed one thing. I need Bee’s scale. No one has thought of using a hybrid elf/dragon shifter scale before, plus it’s not like many people have one. If you’re fine with me draining it if his magic then it could save her.”

“Of course, I’m fine with it Aqua, she’s my daughter too. Do whatever you have to do to save her.” My parent’s love for me and each other kept me fighting. “I think she’s awake.” The next day Mom was able to save me with the scale and I felt better than ever. The doctors say my condition seems to be cured.

Sometimes I felt so small being in this family. My mother was a human/dragon shifter hybrid witch with holder abilities who came from the human world. She saves people on a day-to-day basis. My father was born a prince but left for love and became a Nobel using all he learned previously. My Aunt Hannah was the Queen. My Aunt Sadia and Uncle Cade were part of one of the strongest werewolf packs after all the help of my mother. Aunt Sadia was one of the strongest members while Cade was one of the most resourceful. Uncle Gray was a magic user, there weren’t many dragon shifters who learned spell work, but he was only of the talented ones. Uncle Gray looked up to my mom so much that he was inspired to learn it. I guess that made up for him not being the chosen holder. Everyone had accomplished so much and made names for themselves in the hidden world. What was I going to accomplish?
