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
Samantha POV I wake up in an open field. There are trees and flowers surrounding me. A figure in white is walking closer to me. Once the figure comes closer I can see that it is a woman. "Hello, my child. I am so happy you are here." She smiles at me lovingly. "I am sorry, I do not want to sound rude but who are you? Where am I?" I start looking around franticly "I am the moon goddess, my dear. You are currently in my world. We call it the in-between. You are between the living and the dead world. I snatched your soul before it went to the dead world." "Why would you do that?" I ask feeling confused Have I not suffered enough? "It was not your time yet. You still have lots of change to do in this world." She walks closer to me and touches my head. I feel my eyes getting heavy. Darkness is taking over. I open up my eyes. The bright light assaults my eyes. I close it once again. This time I open them up more slowly. Once my eyes adjusted to the light, I could look around more fr
Samantha POV I spent the whole night thinking about what I am going to do. There are so many things that do not make sense. I sent one of the nurses to summon the mighty King Ate. I just hope that he will come soon. It is already past noon when the door to my room finally opens up. “You sent for me?”I look at his face. He has bags under his eyes. “Yes, please sit down. I need to talk to you.” He walked towards the chair on my right side. He sat down and looked at the floor. “I need you to tell me everything.” “After you left my house, I went back to my usual day. I found out that day that someone in the dragon community was responsible for your kidnapping all those years ago. Your family came and we discussed who it may be. Your father came in the next day stating that you were missing. We started looking for you. I decided it was best to call in the werewolves since they can’t track your scent. After a while, I received a message that if I renounce you as my mate that perhaps yo
Samantha POV I have been out of the hospital for about a month now. I haven't seen Ate since the day I asked him to leave. My dragon has been going crazy inside my head. She has been trying to convince me every day to make the effort and go to Ate. I understand what she has been going through, but she needs to realize that I first have other things to work through. How can I be the queen he needs me to be if I do not even know what the right protocols are. This is why I have been locking myself up in my room trying to learn everything about being a dragon queen. My mom has been helping me with the change from a human to a dragon. I can now change flawlessly between my dragon and my human. The first few times have been gruesome. The pain was just so unbearable that I stopped midway through the change and just chang back. Mark has been coming here a lot. He also gave me some very useful information on being part of the pack. I asked him nicely not to tell Ate that he is helping me o
King Ate POV Samantha has been discharged from the hospital. My dragon has been on my ass for not going to her. Today is the day. I honestly can not take my dragon's constant whining in my head. I make my way over to Samantha's house. I have never been this nervous in my life. I knock on the door. There is no answer. Just as I was about to leave the door opens. "Hello, king Ate is there something I can help you with?" she lays against the door frame. She looks cute in her shorts. I guess I need to answer her before she thinks I am a creep. "Is it possible for me to talk to you?" She smiles at me and motioned for me to come in. She closes the door and I follow her into what looks like the living room. "Do you want anything to drink?" She asks. I contemplate while I chose the couch furthest from the door. "Not anything for me right now. Thank you." I look down at my hands. Why do I sound so pathetic speaking to her right now? "What do you want to talk about?" She sat down in fron
