Samantha POV A doctor I have never seen before came in this morning to do a cheek swab for the DNA test. He said that it will not take more than a few days. The king expedited the process. The door opened and King Ate walk in. He had on a more casual attire than he had on before. " Hello, Samantha. How are you feeling?" King Ate came and sit on the chair that he occupied before. "I am feeling much better. The pain is completely gone." I lean over and took the water cup." Can I ask you a question?" "Yes, you can." "Why do you think that I am this Mister and Missus Jackson's daughter?" I took a sip of the water. "Mister and Missus Jackson's daughter went missing, on the human island, eighteen years ago. Now nineteen years. I did the math you and the girl that went missing will be the same age. My father and I spent a lot of time searching for that little girl. I have soldiers that have been living undercover on that island looking for that girl. We never found her. I have been ove
Samantha POV I look around the room that the king brought me to. There is a big bed in the middle of the room. The carpet is brown and fluffy. I take off my shoes and dug my feet into the carpet. It is so soft underneath my feet. I walk closer to the bed and sat down. In all my years on the earth, I have never seen a nicer room. I lay down on the bed and look up at the ceiling. I was woken up by a knock on the door. I must have fallen asleep. I don't blame myself since the bed is comfy. I open the door. There was a woman on the opposite side with a rack full of clothes. "Hi, my name is Jodie. I am king Ate's personal shopper." She pushes past me into the room. "Hi Jodie, my name is Samantha." I close the door behind me. "O, I know who you are. I think the whole island knows about it now. The old people love to gossip. But that is not why I am here. King Ate send me here to get you some clothes. What do you need?" Jodie starts flipping through the clothes on the rack. "Will i
King Ate It took me a while to comprehend what has happened. There is no way that she just walked out on me. I am the king. I stood up to follow her. I look around to see if I can spot her. There is no sign of her anywhere. There is also no sign of any of my workers. As I walk back into the dining room, my phone rings. I look at the called ID and see that it is one of the soldiers that patrol the grounds. "Talk." I really have to work on my temper, but not today. Samantha pissed me off. "I see a young lady walking around outside. I just want to know what I should do with her? I have never seen her here before, my king." I smirk to myself. She cannot run from me forever. "Leave her be. I know her. I brought her here." "Yes, my king." I pushed the red button on my phone. I sat down and ate my dinner like normal. "Maybe it is a good thing that the moon goddess gave me a mate that can stand her own. She will make a nice queen" Muzzor my dragon interjects. Yes, just like werewolves
Samantha POV I guess I should go on and apologize. King Ate didn't do anything wrong, except to go digging into my past. That is not okay, but I guess he should find out want happened. I have been walking around outside for quite some time. There are no trees or flowers like on the werewolf island. This is more rock than anything else. I kid you not. I always thought that the human island was depressing, but I was mistaken. There was at least a little grass. One of the soldiers has kept an eye on me since I came outside. It is both reassuring and creepy at the same time. I don't think that I will have any alone time if I stay here. All I ever wanted was to be free. Not even after I found out I was a dragon have I been free. "Miss the king wants me to escort you to his office." I fold my hands over my chest. "Hello. my name is Samantha. All of you dragons need to learn manners." He just shakes his head and starts walking. I sigh and follow him. I guess no one has manners. The s
Samantha POV "Why don't you go and get your things then we can go home." I look around in alarm. I do not have anything. "You go to your parents I will ship it out to the house. Don't worry." King Ate made it seems so easy. I think he forgot that I have no clothes. My parents led me towards the door and out into the night. I cannot believe that the sun has already set. It didn't take us long to actually stop in front of a small home. We had to drive through several mountains to reach it. The house had this homey feel to it. This is the only time that I have seen grass anywhere on this island. There is a child's playset in the front yard. My mother led me towards the house. Once she opened the door, my nose was in heaven. There are so many smells. One that stood out to me was the smell of fresh-baked bread. Nothing can beat it. My family and I spend the night just getting to know each other. I went from thinking my parents have abandoned me to find, that they never stopped looki
Samantha POV The next morning I was woken to the smell of bacon and eggs. After the pain that I has last night, there were no more incidents. I look up at the clock and see that is just past ten in the morning. I jump up off the bed and start cleaning up. I have never slept this long in my life. My mother came into the living room. "Ahh. You are up. Honey, what are you doing?" My mother leans on the doorframe. She has a spatula in her hand. "I am cleaning." "Don't worry I will do that. Why don't you come and eat? That is an order by the way." She turns around leaving me just to look after her in astonishment. "I would listen to her if I was you." My father piped in while walking by the room. I put down the pillows and follow my nose to the kitchen. My father is already at the table eating when I came in. I went to sit at the table. My mother placed a plate and a cup in front of me. My mother grabbed her plate and came to sit next to me. "King Ate still hasn't delivered your c
King Ate She is gone, finally. I can finally breathe freely. I open the drawer and took out Samantha's file. The file went back to the first time that she was picked up. There is nothing before that. I go to papers with the information about her master. He was a first-class asshole if I saw one. Samantha was only a payday for him. Before he found Samantha he lost his job and his wife in all one week. He lost everything. Then along came Samantha. He saw an opportunity to make some cash, even if it would take a long time. He told Samantha that he looked for her family. I have papers and pictures to prove otherwise. He went out and sat in a bar and left a small child to fend for herself at night. She got sick and he started to panic. He took her to a doctor and that is where he learned the truth. He and the doctor worked together to keep Samantha a secret. We found the money trail. Once Samantha was sold off, the doctor received fifty per cent. I feel the anger bubbling up inside
Samantha POV Jodie came waltzing in while I was still getting dressed. "O my goodness, you have a fine body. No, I am not checking you out, I promise. I am straight as can be." She laughed as I turn around, completely forgetting about the bruise on my stomach." What the hell happened to your stomach? That bruise wasn't there when I measured you." I look down. "My mother said that my mate cheated on me." I raise my shoulders at her. "You met him already? Who is it? Wait, I don't understand. That asshole cheated on you?" Jodie went from happy to murder in five seconds. "Jeez, relax. I guess, I did meet him. I have no idea who it is. My mother says that my dragon will tell me. She just hasn't spoken to me yet." I place my hands on her shoulders and pushed her out the door. "It kind of makes sense why your dragon hasn't spoken to you. We get our dragons young, so they learn and grow with us. At this stage, your dragon is still a baby. I think she still has to learn to talk I guess."
Wedding in Ate POVI don't know why, but I feel nervous, so nervous that it feels like I need to throw up. The wedding march has begone and I see Samantha and her father walking hand in hand.The sight of Samantha made my heart soar. The dress looks like it was made for her.I was so mesmerized that I only felt it when Mister Jackson placed Samantha's hand in mine."Do you willingly give your daughter to this man?" The elder asked her father and he replied with a yes. Samantha and I turned towards the elder.The elder kept drowning on about the love that Samantha and I have. I wished he would just finish up. I have plans for me and Samantha.Mark came forward and placed the rings in my hand. He gave me a wink and went to sit back down."Samantha. I knew you were special since the moment I laid my eyes on you. My dragon and I couldn't understand what was going on. It sounds weird, but I am glad that Mark bought you because if he didn't we wouldn't have found each other. I vow to love y
Samantha POVIt has been a week since I found out that I am pregnant. I have had to struggle with the decision of how to tell Ate that I am pregnant.I left hints all over and have talked to him about kids. His exact words were that he has never thought about kids. He did tell me that he would love to have kids with me and that is where I was starting to feel guilty. Here I was not knowing what we are going to do and he is so sure of himself. This is the most basic need of a woman. Why am I not even excited? Perhaps it is because I knew that it would only happen way out in the future.I made my way to my mother where she is setting up for our daily lunch break. I made a point to include Joan. She has never felt a mother's love and now she can get all the love that she deserves.Ate went to her old master and made him an offer that he just couldn't refuse, now she is an honorary member of our family.Ate insisted that I take time to relax between my busy schedule. He didn't want me to
A few months later.Samantha POVI woke up this morning with a major headache. It was not unusual since I have been under a lot of stress. I have been helping out a lot at the new orphanage.You only see the glamorized side of things, but never truly see the soul-crushing side of being a queen.My mom and dad did eventually move in with us. My mother took over the castle duties. She is now the head of the house. My dad still goes to work.I walk to the dining room where everyone is already waiting for me.I opened up the door and was met by the heavenly smell of eggs and bacon. It was my go-to breakfast food in the morning. I rarely eat anything in the afternoon so I try to eat as much as I can in the morning.I kissed everyone good morning and went to sit on the right of Ate. I took my first bite savouring the taste when it bubbled back up.I ran as fast as I could to the bathroom and just in time I kneeled over the toilet.Food has never made me sick. My mother came rushing in after
Samantha POVI gasped as we made our way into the ballroom for the first time. My mom made sure to keep everything a secret. The only thing I had the opportunity to be a part of was the colour scheme. The rest was all my mother and some of the employees. I didn't even have the chance to pick the food.There were white centre pieces with splashes of red and black all around. When you look up to the ceiling there are glass bottles filled with tea lights. The plates were red and black. The centrepieces had white, black and red flowers. The candles give a soft glow to the room. On each table, there are two lanterns which only brighten up the place even more.Ate and I made our way to the bride's table. The plates here have a gold rim around them. There are also three flower centrepieces, with the lanterns placed between them.The bride's table was placed in such a way that we were facing the guests.We sat down and waited for the rest of the wedding guests to be seated. There were not a
Samantha POV With the wedding over and done with, it is now time for my initiation ceremony. My mom pulled me into a room. I walk closer to the mirror. True to my mother's words, there are no black tear streaks on my face. I did not need to touch up my make-up. This will save me a few minutes in the long run. My mom helped me take off my shoes and veil. I still don't know why I have to do the initiation ceremony barefoot. We only have a few minutes before I need to get back out there. My mom propped a plate full of food into my hands and told me to eat. "Mom, why are you so adamant that I eat? I am not even hungry." I say taking a bite from one of the crackers. I know there is no use in arguing with her. "I know you are not hungry. I want you to eat because I wished someone did that for me when I got married. When your father and I got married, I was so stressed and busy that I forgot to eat. Halfway through the ceremony, I passed out. It was so embarrassing that I promised mysel
Samantha POV The day of our wedding has arrived. My parents insisted that I needed to sleep at their house since the groom was not allowed to see me the night before the wedding. I did not sleep a wink last night. I kept rolling around wondering what Ate was up to. We tried to sneak in some facetime but my mother took my phone. I am currently waiting on the glam squad as my mother dubbed them. They are a part of the castle employees that will help me get ready in the future for all the events that I need to go to. I finished up my breakfast that my mother insisted on when the doorbell rings. I stand up to open it p but my mother has beaten me to it. The glam squad has arrived and it was time for me to get ready. It took June and Avery four hours to do my make-up and hair. It was the worst experience of my life. Next time I will get ready by myself. I hate people dotting on me. My mom helped me get into my dress after June and Avery left. "Mom will you please stop. You are goin
Samantha Pov Things have barely slowed down after Ate asked to marry me. I nearly had a heart attack when I heard what his timeline is. We decided to hold our wedding and my initiation ceremony on the same day, that way we can have more time to plan the other ceremony. First, I thought that it would be easy since both ceremonies would be held on the same day, but boy was I wrong. There is so much planning that needs to be done. I am thankful that my parents are helping me. same with the castle staff. One thing that I did plan was that I am going to wear the same dress at both ceremonies. It will save us time and money. That is what I am currently doing. I am in search of the perfect wedding dress. My mom and dad came with me, but I can feel the void in my heart. I wish Joan was here. This is something that we planned on doing together. we always knew that we wanted each as our made of honour. we were even planning to wait until the others aged out of the slave market before we
Samantha POV I woke up to the click of the door closing. I wonder who was just in my room. If I find the creep who stared at me, I will kill him. This is the privacy of my room. I stand up in anger to run after the creep when my eye caught something on the table in front of my bed. It was a box wrapped in gold gift paper. There was also a blue ribbon wrapped around it. I made my way towards the gift. On top, there was an envelope and I knew at that moment exactly who the creep was. The only person that will leave me a gift is Ate. I opened up the envelope and it was just a piece of paper. The previous present was accompanied by an invitation. This is so much more personal. I wonder what Ate has in store for this evening. I start reading the letter as soon as I opened it up. Samantha, my love. I know this is no invite, but I want to ask you if you would like to join me in the garden at five? I have a surprise for you. I love you. Ate. I don't know why, but every time he tells
Ate Samantha finally left after telling me about her meeting at the orphanage. I could see that she knew something was off with me, but all things considered, I think I kept my composure. I feel so guilty for keeping secrets from her, but it is for the best. This is one secret I am willing to keep for as long as I possibly can. The look in Samantha's eyes when she told me that she didn't need Mark to babysit her was priceless. I knew she didn't need someone to look after her. Mark only went along to keep her away from the castle for as long as he could. I make my way towards the kitchen where all the preparation is being made. The head chef saw me and made his way toward me. "How can I help you, my king?" He asks bowing in front of me. "I was checking in? How far along are you?" I start walking around looking at all the food that was prepared. "We are just putting the finishing touches on everything. The queen will love everything that was prepared. The table outside in the gar
