Samantha POV It has been a week since I stayed at the castle. Ate has been acting so weird. I havent seen or talked to him since that night. Mark hasnt even picked up any of my calls. This morning when I opened up my windows I saw a van outside my house. It is starting to get on my nerves, so I did the only thing I could think of. I snuck out the back of the house and made my way to the castle. I need to know what is going on. I get to the gates and it looks like every guard in the kingdom is stationed around the wall. "Hi, may I please enter? The king is expecting me." I talk to the first guard I see. "I am sorry mam. No one is allowed to enter the castle without a formal invitation." I look at him in disbelief. "Do you know who I am? I am the king's mate. Let me enter." The guard starts laughing. I feel the anger rising. How does he not know who I am? Did Ate not tell them who I am to him. "What is the commotion all about?" I hear the familiar voice of Mark booming out. "I am
King Ate POV A week has passed since I saw Samantha. There have been instances that I almost went to her. My heart has been aching without her by my side. It wasn't that bad when I didn't know what we had. I asked some soldiers to keep an eye on her. My first worry is Jodie. I need to find her as soon as I possibly can, however, there has been no trace of her. I have received no more notes either. I did tell Samantha's parents what was going on. I just wanted someone close to her to also keep her safe. The phone rings and I pick it up. "Ate this is Samantha's father. I do not know what is going on but Samantha is not at home. I spoke to the soldiers outside and they also have not seen Samantha leave the house. I do not know where she is." I feel my heart stop. This is not happening. Did Jodie get to her? I took all the precautions I possible could. "What do you mean she is missing? I have not been informed that she left the house." "I don't know what to tell you, My king." "Ju
Samantha Pov Things between me and Ate have been stiff and awkward since I moved into the castle. He has been avoiding me like the plague. When I do catch him, it looks like he is running away from me. Today I have a coffee date with my mother. I promised Mark that I will not leave the castle ground. This is perhaps the only place that they can keep me safe. I constantly see guards lurking around every corner. They even installed more cameras all over the castle. I asked the maids to set up a table in the garden where Ate and I had our date. It has been sunny the past few days. I do not want to spend another day in the gloomy castle. I think it is time for a total makeover of the castle. There is a knock on my door. One of the maids comes in. "I am sorry to bother you, my Queen. Missus Jackson has arrived to see you." Clare states, bowing her head towards me. I sigh hearing her call me Queen. I wish they will realise that I am just a normal girl and will forever be just a normal

Samantha POV It is just past three in the afternoon when my mom left. My heart felt lighter. I shared all the sorrow in my heart with my mother. I decided that I need to speak with Ate. There has to be a reason that he is ignoring me. I walk into the kitchen looking for one of the staff members. I was so hungry. All mom and I did the whole day were drink tea. We completely forgot to eat something. The kitchen is empty. No staff members are in-sight. I walk to the cupboards to see if there was something for me to eat. That is one thing that I can thank the slave school for. They taught me how to cook. I made myself a grilled sandwich. I guess the kitchen staff still needs to buy the groceries since there is not much in the cupboards. Mark came into the kitchen. He looked around while I took a bite of my food. "Where is everyone?" He asks while taking the other half of my sandwich. "You could have asked me then I could have made you your own sandwich. As for your question, I hon
Samantha POV We finally separated after our kiss. We were both breathless and holding onto each other for dear life. "I guess we should make our way back to our party." Ate whispers into my ear. I feel the blush creeping onto my face. There is no way that I actually did that. We actually had a make-up session with Ate and on the other side of the door, there is a room full of people. We took a moment to recollect ourselves. I reapplied my lipstick which was hard without a mirror. I look up to tell Ate that I am ready. I saw the lipstick stains on his lips and I could help but giggle. I quickly clean his lips with a wipe that I found in my purse. Together we made our way back to the party. I finally feel happy. I just know that we can get through this storm together. We made our way through the crowd. Ate introduced me to so many people that my head is spinning. There is no way that I am going to remember even half of the people tomorrow. The party has finally ended and I am dead
Samantha Pov I woke up bright and early. I made sure to get dressed in something flexible. I walk back out of the bathroom and nearly had a heart attack. I see something move on the couch. I look that way and I see Ate sitting there with papers scattered all around him. First I want to ignore him but decide that I need to speak to him. I walk closer. "Ate can I please speak to you about last night?" I picked up the pages next to him and sat down. "If we are going to fight again, I don't want to speak to you." He says looking at me. "I don't want to fight. I just want to talk." "Look, I know where you are coming from. I spend most of last night in a discussion with my wolf. I just want you to know where I am coming from. I lost my mother and father because of a war. I do not want to lose you too." I can see the desperation on his face. When I decided on the training, I did not think about how his past will affect everything. "I am sorry. I did not think about that. Just think a
Ate POV The kingdom has been training for the past two months now. I made sure to have guards stationed at every lookout point that is scattered over the kingdom. There have been no words or even sight of Jodie and her lackeys. What worries me is that I do not know how many people she has on her side. I do not know if I have to call any of the other species to help. I have been laying awake night after night worrying and it has been taking its toll on me. "Ate what is the matter?" Samatha comes walking in. She must have finished her dinner for the night. "Nothing is the matter. I am just trying to catch up on the paperwork." I smile at her in hopes that it looks reassuring. "Ate do not lie to me. You haven't slept in almost a week. You also have not been eating. I know what has been going on around me. I am not that dumb." She looks at me frowning. It makes me feel like a toddler hat is being scolded by his mother. "It is nothing for you to worry about, my love." Samantha rol
