Kaleb POV I watch as Samantha left the room. I did not know she was abandoned when she was small. When she talks about her master, I just thought she was like so many girls out there. Some parents ask a master to take over looking after a girl, so they don't have the job to tell them why they are being sold. This is why I wish I could help humans more than I do now. I cannot imagine selling my child just so that I can have some food on the table. It is horrible. There has to be a way to help them. Why can't we just hire people as we did with Carra and her husband? I have a meeting with the Alpha in the morning. Maybe I can talk to him and come up with ways to help the humans. I walk into my room and look around once again. I think I have an idea. Samantha did a great job cleaning up my room. I didn't realize how messy it was until she cleaned it from top to bottom. There is this fresh smell in my room. I don't know where it is coming from, but to be honest, it helps me sleep. I hav
Samantha POV It has been more than two months that I have been on the werewolf island. Since the day that I snapped at Kaleb, he has tone things down. He is no longer over-friendly with me and it is better this way. Our relationship went from being friends to being employer and employee. It has become less awkward between us. Tomorrow is Christmas. A holiday I have never actually celebrated before. My master never had the finances to buy us anything like presents. Joan and I heard the other girls talk. They always had to brag about the presents their parents have brought them over the Christmas holiday. We were always so jealous. we never had that. This year it will be different hopefully. Kaleb helped me with the decorations for the house. It almost looks like a fairytale. The lights in the evening are truly breathtaking. Not even to mention the tree. I know Kaleb said that it is tradition to get a big tree on Christmas, but I feel more like he did it for my benefit. There are so
Samantha POV Dinner with Kaleb's parents was a blast. Looking at them you can see why Kaleb is such a nice person. Maybe I was too hard on him. Perhaps he truly only wanted to be my friend. Kaleb's father told me the whole story about how he found out that Mary was his mate. His parents pushed him to find him a slave. They didn't want their baby boy to do any of the demeaning housework. So he went to the human island and felt a pull towards Mary, and he bought her. At that moment, he did not understand the mate pull yet. After a while, he became protective of her. He didn't allow anyone to say bad things about her. Neither he nor his wolf understood what is going on. Once they were both of age, then and only then, did the pieces finally fall together. His wolf wanted to claim her then and there. He didn't want to because he knew what trouble it would bring into the family. Mary and Kaleb senior had a long talk about what they were going to do. Kaleb senior's parents started settin
Samantha POV I was awoken by the blaring of an alarm. I look up at the clock and see that it is just past 6. Carra will be in an hour to pick me up for our shopping spree. I try to stand up but my muscles do not want to work with me. It feels like a ten-ton truck ran over me. I finally got my legs over to the side of the bed. All I need is a hot shower. This is just another lesson for me to drink my pills the way I should. I made my way into the bathroom with lots of moaning and groaning from my side. I think I am going to need a pain pill after I am done. As the warm water flows over me, I can feel my muscles start to relax. I guess I would not need that pain pill after all. Carra came by shortly after I finished up in the shower. I left my hair down just to save some time. I took too long in the shower in the first place and if I have to do my hair it will be another hour before we leave the house. Carra was waiting for me in the kitchen. I walked past Kaleb barely acknowledgin
Samantha POV Carra and I made our way to a burger place just around the corner. Carra raved all the way there. She said that they made the best burgers on the whole island. We were seated by a young boy. He could barely be ten years old. He took our orders on a small piece of paper. "Why isn't he in school?" I whisper to Carra once the boy left. "School isn't the same here as it is on the human island. Here they get holidays to sit and relax. Some choose to help their parents in their shop others just want to stay at home and sleep." I nod my head as I understood, but in all honesty, I don't understand. Who wishes to just waste their time doing nothing? We were taught efficiency. There was no time to just sit and relax in school. The boy came back and place our orders in front of us. I asked for the chicken burger and a diet coke. The smell already made my mouth drool."Can I ask you a question?" I ask Carra looking down at my hands."Yes, you can. You don't always have to ask me
Samantha POV I walked back into the house after my day out with Carra. I hung my dress in my room and went in search of Kaleb. Carra was right. I need to speak to Kaleb about what happened last night. I cannot just ignore it. I need to let him know what needs to happen just in case it happens again. Not that I am planning to let it happen ever again. I call his name, but there was no answer in the house. I don't think anyone is home. There is dead silence in the house. I start cleaning up just to pass the time. I didn't have time this morning since I was basically running out of the house. There was not much to do, so once I was done I made my way back to my room and started packing. I took out the clothes that I bought after we went to the salon. One thing that was made perfectly clear was that working with long nails was a horrible job. I was struggling with the most mundane things. I even had trouble with folding the clo
Samantha POV I get up early to make sure everything is packed and ready. Kaleb told me yesterday that the driver would drop off the car at around eight. He told me that he likes to drive long drives on his own. That he does not like to take one of the drivers away from their family. I wiped down the counters just to make sure that it is clean even if I did it the night before. I look around to see that my job here is done. The house is clean and the suitcases are at the door ready to be loaded in the car. I walk into the living room and sit down on the couch. I pick up my book and start reading where I left it last. I am currently reading one of William Shakespeare's books called Hamlet. Kaleb said that they read it in school and I was wondering what the whole thing was about. It is about the death of a king and his ghost tells his son to avenge him. It has pulled me in since the first pages. I can now understand why they like
Samantha POV The ball starts at four in the afternoon which gives me just enough time to get ready. Kaleb and I spent the morning touring the castle and surrounding and surrounding woods. The castle had more than 800 rooms so we did not get to see all of them. The ground was another story. There was a flower garden that the king has planted for his wife when they just met. It is so sweet and romantic. Once you go through the flower garden you walk into the maze. That is where we got lost. Kaleb had to call someone to come and get us. I thought it was funny, but Kaleb was not amused. He has been in a mood since we got back. I jump into the shower. I do the whole nine yards. This is the problem with beauty standards in this day and age. Men expect us to look our absolute best, but they do not understand the work that goes into it. We have to wash and do our hair. We need to shave almost every inch of our bodies. And that isn't even the worst part. We need to use our faces as colorin
