Samantha POV
I walk up to the beautiful stranger. His piercing eyes are the first thing that I notice about him. His eyes are a combination of yellow and brown. He had the kind of eyes that can look straight into your soul without trying too hard.He takes my arm and starts pulling me towards the door. I try to resist, but soon realize that it is of no use. He is a lot stronger than I am.He takes me towards a waiting car. The motor is already running when we stop next to it."My suitcases are still in the bus," I comment while looking at my shoes."No, they are already in the car. I made sure to send someone to fetch your luggage. I also send someone to pay. Now, can you please get into the car? We have a long way to go.""Okay," I said. I am not sure that he actually heard me. I climb into the car and place my hands on my legs.The rest of the ride was done in silence. Partly because I do not know what to say to this man, partly because I am nervous. I do not know what this guy wants from me. I do not know what my role is going to be. I guess I will soon find out enough.We stop in front of the hotel. The stranger helped me out of the car. I don't really understand what is going on. I kind of figured that he wanted to go home straight away. I guess I was wrong.He leads me up to the top floor of the hotel. I remembered that they call it the penthouse suite. My mouth drops once we walk through the door.I can see 3 doors leading out of the main room. The main room was decorated in black and silver. It was what some people would describe as modern."Please, sit down. I would like us to get to know each other a bit better." The stranger said while he sat down. I went to sit down on the couch in front of him."Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?" He asked me."Not at all," I said, more confident than I feel."What is your name?" I look at him, a little confused."You know my name. Why are you asking me that?""I want you to feel at ease when you are around me. Yes, I know your name, but I want you to tell me," I nod and took a breath to calm my nerves."My name is Samantha.""And your surname?""I am an orphan. My master found me on the side of the road. He doesn't know who my parents were, so I never had a surname," I replied, I look once again at my hands."First off, he is no longer your master. I am, but I do not want you to call me master. My name is Kaleb Reid. Do you understand?""Yes, I understand.""Now, I am going to tell you more about me. Like I said my name is Kaleb Reid. I am a werewolf and one of the top soldiers in the King's guard. I bought you not only to clean up after me but also to be a companion to me. I will not sleep with you if that is what you must be thinking, I am one of the few werewolves that will wait for their mates. All I need from you is to be there when I come home. Do you get me?" He asks with the sincerest look in his eyes. That is when I realize that I believe him."Yes, I get you. Is there anything else you want from me?" I ask looking him straight in the eyes."Homemade food will be nice." He looks at me and he gives me a grin. The grin just makes him look more handsome." Look I want us to be friends. Is that too much to ask?""I guess it is not. Guess what Kaleb, you just found yourself a new friend. I will make sure that you have a homemade meal, whenever you are done, with whatever you during the day. I will make sure that your house is clean, and that all your clothes are mended. All I ask is that I can continue my art.""Thank you, Samantha. I saw in your bio that you love to draw. Are you any good?""If I weren't any good I would not have asked to continue. I love drawing. It is the only talent I have. It helps me relax when I have a busy day. I know I have no right to ask, but can you do me a favor?" Kaleb starts laughing."I think we established that we are friends. You can ask me anything.""Will it be possible to find out who bought my friend? She is the only family I have. We were raised by the same breeder. I would love to keep in touch with her.""I can try to find out. I can't make any promises. I think it is time for some food. Do you have any preferences?""I would love to have some pizza.""Coming right up."Kaleb showed me my room and the bathroom. I decided to take a shower while we wait for the food to arrive. I decide on plain pajama pants with a t-shirt that goes with the pants.Kaleb called me to the table when the food arrived. I went to sit with him. We spend the rest of the time just chatting and getting to know each other. The time flew by. We went to bed just before 12.Kaleb told me that we are going to the Grey Guardian island by boat. He doesn't want to risk flying into a dragon while we are up there. It actually makes sense.Now, I am laying in bed trying to wrap my head around everything that went on today. I can just thank my lucky stars that I found such a kind master.Samantha POV Kaleb woke me up just after 7 am. We made sure we have breakfast together before starting to get ready. I have barely an hour to get ready before we have to leave for the harbor. Luckily I showered last night so it will shorten my time to get ready. I decided not to put on some make-up. I mean I am going to be stranded on a boat for a long time. I don't know how long the journey is going to take from Stratboro Island to Grey Guardian island. "Samantha. Let's go. We are going to be late. Remember we have a schedule to uphold." I placed my toothbrush back in my luggage. and made my way out of the room I stayed in. "What no make-up today?"Kaleb asks with a smile. "There is something you need to know. I may be a woman, but I hate make-up. I will only wear make-up if I have a party to attend with you. I will not wear make-up at home and I certainly won't wear it while stuck on a boat. That my dear friend is not practical.
Samantha POV We finally arrived at werewolf Island. It is called The Grey Guardians. I have never in my life seen anything more beautiful in my life. The Grey Guardian Island is more like an open field. There are flowers of all shapes and sizes littered all over the land. It is the first time that I have seen a place so open. On the human island, there are only buildings. There was no place to even go and play as a child. Kaleb helped me get off the boat and onto the dock. My first reaction was to run through the field and that is exactly what I did. I let go of Kaleb's hand and just started running. There was so much screaming behind me but I just had one goal in my head. For the first time in my life, I felt completely free. I stopped in the centre of the flower field and started twirling. A giggle burst forth from my chest. I felt like a little kid. I fell down and continued my laughter as I lay there.
Samantha POV We are currently sitting in front of the television. Kaleb opened up something that he calls N*****x. I didn't know what N*****x was until he explained to me that it is an app that you can watch movies on. It is a foreign concept to me. I cannot remember if I have ever even watched television. I remember seeing one in the masters home but it was never on. "So what do you want to watch? Do you want to watch a movie or a series?" Kaleb was slowly flipping through what he called the start-up page looking for something to watch. "I don't know. We didn't have screen time at school, so I don't know what kind of movies there are. I think this is the first time I watched something on the television." I look down at my hands. I feel so uncultured. Kaleb slowly turned towards me with a scowl on his face. He has a look between disappointment and anger on his face. He sighs and takes my hand. "There is so much that I to te
Samantha POVI woke up to the smell of freshly brewed coffee. I sat up on the couch and I realized that I have some aches and pains everywhere in my body. Well, what do you expect when you fall asleep on the couch?I rub my neck to relieve some tension."I see you are finally awake." I look up and see Kaleb with a smile on his face. He hands me a cup of coffee. My first sip was almost like manna from the heavens. I have never tasted anything more delicious in my life."I have some meetings that I have to attend today. Will you be okay here by yourself?" Kaleb has a worried look on his face."You don't have to worry about me. I will be fine. This will give me time to familiarize myself with the house. I can also make a list that we can go and get at the grocery store." I smile at him."By now everyone knows that we have arrived at the island, so you can expect some slaves to come and visit. Maybe more like check you out. You do not have to co
Samantha POV The girls and I continued with our life stories. It was weird to know how many of us were abandoned by our parents as soon as we went to school. I guess if you were born a girl you don't mean anything to the human community until you retire and can actually have kids of your own. "O, dear. Will you look at the time? We have to get going. We still need to get ready for the BBQ. We also need to go help with the setup." Carra gave me a kind smile. Carra and the other stood up to leave. "Thank you so much for stopping by. I am happy to learn that not everything I was taught in school has been the truth." I smile at Carra. She is the first woman in my life with whom I can feel a bond. She is almost like a mother figure in my life. I am happy here. "What do you mean dear?" Carra looks confused. "They taught us that you have to look out for yourself. Those other slaves will backstab you as soon you let your guard down
Samantha POV It has been two hours, and we are still busy with introductions. I absolutely hate it. If I have to smile for much longer my face is going to stay in this position. When I said that it is almost like Kaleb is introducing his girlfriend to his family, I was joking. Now it does not feel like joking anymore. There is no way in hell that I am going to remember all these people's names. The first couple I met was the Alpha and Luna of this pack. I must have sounded so stupid when I told them that I thought they were ruled by a King. Kaleb patiently explained to me that there are too many werewolves to only be governed by a king. There are a couple of packs scattered all over the island. Once a month all the Alphas get together and give the King a rapport of what is going on in their territory. What kind of trouble there is and what can be done to help each other. When I heard of the love there is in the
King Ate POV These incompetent fools. I have told them time and time again not to fall in love. Love is weakness. Women make you weak. Just look at my father. He found his mate and died trying to save her. I do realize that she was my mother, however, the love he had for her made him weak. He would still be alive if he didn't lose his head and jumped in front of a bullet. I have heard the rumours flying around the caves. I know my people want me to find my mate and have babies. This is never going to happen. Not even to mention that there hasn't been a female dragon mate born in almost two hundred years. Samantha POV I walked into the kitchen and made us some coffee. Kaleb already went to his office and told me to come to him once I was done. I made my way into the office. Kaleb was busy typing away at his computer. I placed his cup next to him and went to sit on the chair in front of the desk. Ka
Samantha POV Kaleb and I walked out of the house together. The same car that bought me here the first day was back in the driveway. A guy I never met before climbed out of the driver's side and gave Kaleb the keys. Without a word he just turned around and left. "Well, that was weird. Who is he?" I asked Kaleb. "That is one of the soldiers. He doesn't talk much. Not even to his parents, so don't take it too personally." Kaleb and I got into the car. He asked me to fasten my seat belt. Kaleb pulled away and onto the road. It took us only ten minutes to stop in town. I have never seen so many shops in one place. Kaleb stopped in front of what my first master described as a supermarket. "Did you remember to bring the shopping list?" Kaleb asks while getting out of the car. "No, I didn't, but I do remember what we need." Kaleb locked the car and together we walked into the shop. We walked fast through the shop. Kaleb was pushing the cart while I dropped things in it. From the look K
