King Ate Pov I am on my way to receive the werewolves at the airport. Even with Mark there telling the soldiers that I gave the go-ahead, my soldiers still didn't want to let them into the island. I understand why they did it, I just need to tell them that they need to listen to Mark. My people still think that it was the werewolves that launched the attack on my father. I let them believe that. What they do not know is that it was my uncle that leads that attack. He felt that he should have been the one sitting on the throne. My father and his brother were twins. There is a rule that the oldest son gets the throne, but my grandfather told them that they need to fight it out amongst themselves. Since then I killed my uncle after I found out. Perhaps it is time for me to bury the hatchet with all the other species. If I am planning to take Samantha as my queen, I need to make sure that she is safe from attack from all sides. I walk towards the office at the back of the hangers. "
Kaleb POV King Franco and I were placed in rooms across from each other. I am currently walking up and down in my room. I don't understand how this happened? How did I not know what Samantha was? Dragons give off unique sent. They always smelt like burning rubber. They do not smell it, but we do. The door opens and King Franco walks in. "Stop beating yourself up. Even I didn't realize she was a dragon." The king went to sit on the only chair in the room. "It is different my king. I spent every day with her for a year." I look at him in desperation. There is nothing that he can say that will make me feel better about myself. I could have helped her. "She was given a specific medicine. It took away her dragon and that means that there is no way anyone could have smelled her. The medicine took away her dragon before it manifested. Now, can we please get to the work at hand? We are no use to her if we keep reliving the past. She needs us here in the present. Did you get a chance to f
King Ate The press conference is over and now we are back in my office. The whole island saw that I just renounced my mate. It left a bitter taste in my mouth. My dragon was protesting all the way through my speech and now he is silent. I have tried to speak to him, but he will not reply. "Let us just hope this is worth it. Why do you think they wanted me to make such a scene?" I look between the three people in front of me. "Does Samantha know you are her mate? Who else knows? I need precise names." Kaleb asks me and I could only muster a nod. This might be all my fault. "As of a few minutes ago, the whole island knows." Kaleb stares at me with disgust. "Leave the sarcasm at the door. I mean before this whole thing." "Jodie, Samantha's childhood friend. Mark, me, and Samantha. I didn't tell anyone else. I don't know about her, but the same day she found out I was her mate, was the same day that she disappeared. I don't think she had a chance to tell anyone." My head is hurting.
Samantha POV Looking back at what just happened, I can see that Jodie just wanted to see how I react. I gave her what she wanted. She wanted to break me and she did. First an emotional death and then a true death. I do not want to sound like a person to pity herself. I just want to know why me? I have lived a life afraid of dying. Now that I found something to live for it gets taken away from me. I need to start fighting back. This cannot be how I die. It just cannot. I need to make a plan on how to get away. I need to get something to open up the cuffs. I look around frantically. The only thing I can see is my fork. I can try, but I do not think it is going to work. I lay back on the mattress once again. I feel drained. I was woken by the door slamming against the wall. Jodie and her mother come into the room. Jodie has a smug look on her face while her mother just looks pissed. I must have drifted off somewhere during the night. my body ached more and more each day. I cannot w
King Ate POV ( One week later) It has been a week since the note was posted on my door. There have been no leads since. Kaleb and the werewolves that stayed behind have been sniffing around town as inconspicuous as possible. No one has realized that he is a werewolf so up until now there has been no problem. Moster Jackson and I have a meeting in the next few minutes. I hope he has some news otherwise we have nothing to go on. Mister Jackson came in screaming like a banshee. I don't understand half of the things he is screaming. I have to try my hardest not to laugh. As soon as he closed the door behind him, he was calm. "I hope that was believable, my king." I chuckled as he bowed down. He stood back up and went to sit down on a chair. "It was. You sounded angry all the way in here. Luckily everyone knows my office is soundproof, so we can be in a screaming match right now and they would not know. Have you found anything suspicious?" I sit forward in my chair. "I don't know i
King Ate POV Another week has passed. We have been constantly following Jodie and her parents. The only time they leave the house is when they go into town and that is never. I decided to go to their house. Jodie needs an answer on what I am going to do about the baby. I have decided on the first day that she told me what I am going to do. She will not be happy about my decision, but I will not be swayed any other way. The driver opens up the door. I get out and walk up to the front door of the Summers household. Kaleb is right behind me. I think it was the best decision to bring him with me. If there is any indication that Samantha is here he will find it. He has a nose for it. I knock on the door and Jodie opens the door. Her hair is messy and she has no make-up on. I can hardly believe it is the same person that I always so put together. "Ate, I was not expecting you." She rubs over her trousers trying to clean herself up a bit. "I know. You need an answer. May we come in?"
King Ate POV Mister Jackson has already sent me the details for tonight. The Summer’s will leave the house, just after five pm. We will wait ten minutes before we go in. We have no evidence that Samantha is in there this is why we do not want anyone around while we search. I don't want someone's good name to be tarnished. Kaleb and I are sitting in the bushes in front of the house. We are the lookouts. As soon as they leave I can call the soldiers in. I see the car being backed out of the driveway. I cannot see into the car, so I do not know who is in it. We wait until it was safe before we set out to enter the house. I walked closer to the door with Kaleb right behind me. I opened the door as slowly as possible. We split up and started looking through the house. It was completely empty. Kaleb motioned for me to come closer. "I smell Samantha's scent closes to this door here." He muttered. I look around and see that we are in the basement of the house. Could there be another r
King Ate POV I have been waiting for the past two hours. I do not think that they are coming. “Don’t lose hope. Remember her father is on your side.” Kaleb is drinking up my alcohol. This has been his third glass of whiskey in the past half hour. I wonder when he is going home. We found Samantha; he has no reason to be here anymore. "Slow down. I need you sober when the Jacksons get here." There is a knock on the door. The person on the other side doesn’t even wait for me to answer. Missus Jackson opens up the door and looks at me. She walks in and went to sit down. The hate for me is in her body language. “The only reason I am here is that my husband convinced me it was a good idea to come and listen to you. Now speak.” Missus Jackson crosses her arms over her chest."Now talk. I need to get back to my daughter." I look shocked at Mister Jackson and he just motioned for me to start talking. “The day Samantha disappeared she found out I was her mate. She came here to confront me j
