Sammy has been feeling a bit left behind in life so her wish is granted when she is discovered to be a faerie princess and she has a long lost lover
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
But it's not like a dre...
The air was alive with the buzz of animated conversations and the melodious strains of traditional fairy and fae dances that swept everyone into its enchanting rhythm. A small group of musicians played a vibrant tune in a corner, their instruments combining perfectly to create a festive environment. The lead violinist led the orchestra with zeal, their song filling the room and encouraging the dancers to swirl and whirl with ecstasy.
A servant showed us to our seat next to the queen. From here we could see everything and I was envious that I could not join.
" How have you been Adeline? " she asked
"I've been well Your Highness" I bowed respectfully from my seat. She huffed in response
"Most people of status try to stay out of trouble but my oh my you are not like that. From being kidnapped to becoming married to another man. At this point is there anything else that you could surprise me with?" she asked rhetorical
"well we would like to have a formal wedding if that's not too much of a bother" spoke Darius. I was surprised but I didn't comment
"a bother?! No, it would be my pleasure to host your wedding in my home" she said while calling a servant by snapping her fingers to come serve her some food.
" Where is my brother?"
"oh him, he could not make it but don't mind him. We have much to discuss regarding you..."

I was mingling with other nobles, exchanging pleasantries. I wasn't exactly paying attention but how could I after seeing Darius?
He was as handsome as ever and he looked more alive from the state I left him in. While I was admiring from afar, I accidentally met his gaze
We locked eyes and he smiled at me, relaxing his posture. I could see in his eyes that he wanted to come down and be with me but of course, that was not possible.
Just one kiss from him will send us spiraling and back to square one. He needed to do this and I was only a distraction for him. I began to feel so overwhelmed by our reunion that I excused myself and went off to find a private room. I didn't find a room rather I found an open balcony, which works too I guess.
I started to feel the tears rolling down my cheeks. I just kept fanning myself and covering my mouth to muffle my cries.
"tissue?" a voice spoke from behind interrupting me. I turned around to find that it was a guard.
I didn't speak to him but I did accept the tissue and I wiped my face. After I finally calmed down I thanked him for the tissue
"Guess it's not your night as well is it?"
"is that why you are also out here?"
"yep, I needed a moment to get away from my troubles" he answered
" are your problems a person? " He laughed at the question
"How did you guess?"
" I'm going through the same thing" I smiled
Alderic POV
I had found an ethereal beauty, alone and in tears. She had made for great company as we started to talk about life. She made me forget the reason why I had come to this balcony
Oddly enough I felt as though I knew her. Her smile and beauty felt familiar. This feeling of familiarity wasn't easy to brush off. I tried going through all the people that I knew of but she didn't fit any of their descriptions. I settled for maybe she looks similar to someone I know of but when we were interrupted I knew that that wasn't the case.
"There you are! I have been looking all over for you. You honestly don't care that your aunt will have my head if you go missing! " spoke the lady
"Sorry Wilhelmina, I just needed some fresh air" she answered
The lady gave me a suspicious look "Yes I can see that... I'll be waiting for you over there " She left us to be alone once again
" So I guess that you have to go " I spoke first
"Yeah, sorry but it was nice. talking to you Alderic" She smiled. Oh, how beautiful was that smile of hers? It warmed me. I had to see her again or this moment will most probably haunt
" When will I get to see you again?" I asked
"I'm staying for 2 more days at the queen's guest house before going home. You could meet me there in the afternoon, tomorrow?"
I couldn't hide my excitement I smiled with all my teeth out. We shook hands and waved goodbyes.
My good mood died when she left. I was about to leave but then I felt a strong itch on my arm. I removed part of my amour to get to it only to find out that it was my mark that was glowing.
I died a little on the inside. Adeline was truly not my soulmate. Oh, how had she managed to convince me that? My soulmate was the woman who I had just met and walked away.
