The Dragon Prince

Alyssa

(3 Weeks Later)

My bond with Vincent grows, and my powers increase as the days pass. I was picking up fast on all of my studies, slowly gaining more and more control over my shift. I even had a class made for dragons who found their mates, as many teachers say that the mate bond is the most sacred blessing that all magical beings are blessed with.

I woke up early to eat breakfast with Annabeth and Izzy before school started.

"So, how are things with Vincent?" Izzy asked me.

"Amazing, he showed me some of his abilities as a dragon that only White Dragons have. He refused to show me what Heart-Ripping is and said it's dark magic."

"He told you about Heart-Ripping!" Annabeth gasped. "Alyssa, that ability is why White Dragons were almost driven to extinction. The High Elves hunted them out of fear and said they weren't the true children of the goddess and were heretics. To explain Heart-Ripping as best as possible, it's magically ripping out someone's heart. By normal biological means, tearing one's heart out means instant death. But the heart can be continued to be connected to the body by magic," Annabeth explained.

"So that's why he refused to show me how it works; I'm guessing his mother forbid him from using it?" I asked.

"Yes, and he knows better," Annabeth nodded. "Now, did you finally have sex with Vincent yet?"

"Annabeth!" Izzy shouted.

"What? Are you the only one to ask these kind of questions? It's bound to happen sooner or later," Annabeth snickered.

"Your questions are only about sex and breeding cycles," Izzy said.

"Are you telling me that you don't like sex?" Anna crossed her arms and looked annoyed. "Because I could tell you last night when I ate you're-"

"Alright, girls, enough!" I covered my ears. "I don't want to hear any more of that. No, Vincent and I haven't had sex with Vincent. We've been together for about a month, and I'm not sure if I'm ready,"

"If you're worried about messing things up with Vincent, I guarantee it's impossible," Annabeth smiled.

We laughed together, and I returned to my room and got dressed. I put on a red hoodie and black jeans. We arrived at the school, and I immediately looked around for Vincent. I walked to him and kissed his cheek when I found him.

"Vincent, have you seen Audrey?" Izzy asked.

"Audrey had to take care of something important. She said she be here before class started." Vincent explained.

Soon, Timothy walked up to us and waved. "Hey, Alyssa, everybody."

"Hey Tim," Izzy smiled.

"Hey," Vincent said with a straight face.

"How are you, Tim?" I said, turning to face Tim after glaring at Vincent. Although I had explained to Vincent that Timothy and I were just friends, he would still get a strange look in his eyes every time Tim talked to me.

"Fine, and you?" Tim smiled.

"Good, I'm starting to like this school," I smiled widely.

I peeked at Vincent's facial expression, and he kept sneering at Tim. I've had enough. "Excuse me for a second, guys." I grabbed Vincent's arm, dragged him away, and took him to the bathroom.

"I hope you realize this is the girl's bathroom," Vincent laughed.

"Right now, I don't give a shit! What is your problem?" I yelled.
