Samantha POV
Only 1% of all humans have been mated to supernaturals. It is kind of sad if you think about it. I heard even before the split, that it was not that common for a human to be mated to a supernatural.We have a whole class dedicated to learning about the different species mating ritual. Just in case you are a mate of one of them.In the beginning, when all the species were created, the moon goddess has cursed all of them. They can only have children with their destined soulmates. In some cases, it is for the best, but in other cases it is horrible. This is why some species are busy going extinct.For instance the dragons. There are only 827 left. Yes, they can live for thousands of years, but there is only 1 mate that was born in the last 600 years. They need a new mate quickly. The Alpha of the dragons still hasn't found his mate, and he needs to find a mate so that his legacy can go on. I always found this interesting. How can the date of a whole species depend on one person, that is when the teacher explained that it is only that Alpha that can make babies with his mate. Other dragons can go on and have a family with anyone that they choose.Joan and I are sitting outside on one of the picnic benches. We sit here from time to time just to chat or sometimes we do our learning out here."The auction is coming up in a few days. Are you ready?" Joan asks me without even looking up from the book in her hands."I guess I am as ready I will ever be. Who do you think is going to buy you?" I replied looking up at the sky."I don't know, but I hope it is an elf. Rumor has it that they treat their pets and slaves the best. Think about it. Vampires use their pets as blood bags, even if they have blood bags roaming around them. I don't want to be sucked on for the rest of my life." I nod my head at her. I don't think anyone wants to be a blood bag."That is true. I will be happy to be bought as a slave. I know our breeder said that my illness is under control, but I am not sure if anyone will want to have a sick pet or even a slave. We will just have to wait and see. The only thing you have to worry about is how rich the person is that buys you." I feel sadness take over me. "Sam you have to give yourself credit. You are a beautiful woman. Anyone that buys you will be one lucky son of a gun. " She smiled at me and gave me a hug. I will truly miss our time spent together.The alarm on my phone goes off. I look at it and see that it is time for my medicine. I look up at Joan she knows my looks, so she stands up quietly. We make our way to the front reception desk. For some or other reason our breeder doesn't trust me to take my medicine at the right time or even the right dose.I mean if I am 5 minutes late getting to the reception desk they will call me and make sure that I am on my way. I just wish that they will tell me what is wrong with me,I sit down in the empty office and waited for the nurse to come and administer my daily injection. All I know is that it burns like hell once the liquid enter my bloodstream.The nurse comes and injects me without saying a word. Every day is exactly the same. The nurse never says a word to me.I walk back out and see Joan is still waiting for me. I walk up to her, and we both make our way to the mess hall. Tonight is pizza night and I will never miss it.Pizza is one of our favorite food that is still left in this world. I listen to older people talking. They are reminiscent of the days before all this happened. Where you could just go to a restaurant and eat whatever you wanted to. where auctions were only for houses and farm animals.I hear them talk, even if I don't want to. It makes me miss a time that I never knew.After dinner, we make our way back to the room. I did my nightly routine. Joan and I usually use this time to chat about the day and what we learned in class. Well, mostly we talked about what I missed while being stuck inside my own mind. I also copied all of her notes.I am bad at listening in class, I much prefer drawing. Learning is so dull. We have been learning the same things for the past 15 years. I just want a change in my life.Samantha POV Our last exam was yesterday. Today, we get our results. We also get the whole day to pack our belongings, then tomorrow the auction starts.I don't really have a lot of things. Mostly it is only my clothes and the few make-ups that the school gives you. Now, that is a class that I did not like. There are so many techniques to use when it comes to make-up. They taught us ten different make-up techniques. I doubt I will ever use them.I mean who wants to redraw the shape of their face with the contour.Ilove the shape of my face. If I want to change that, I can just go to a doctor and get some plastic surgery. Yes, they still exist. Some masters take their pets to get a boob job. Don't understand why they did buy them because they liked what they saw. Don't even get me started on
Samantha POV The alarm has woken us up at 5 am this morning. Which is totally fine with me, we are a lot of girls that need to get ready for the proceedings of today. 5 minutes after the alarm went off, one of the cleaners came in with a white dress that we all need to wear today. She also gave us some white sandals that compliment the dress perfectly.I am currently sitting in a chair. I finished my shower, washed my hair, and shaved everything that needs to be shaved. Joan is now busy with my make-up. We decided on a smokey-eye with a wing eyeliner. She said it will bring out the blue of my eyes. She is also going to curl my hair. I want the curls to look natural and not overdone, if you know what I mean. Once she is done, she turns me towards the mirror. The girl I see is no longer a girl. She is a full-grown woman. The dress compliments my curves. I finally look and feel pretty. For the first time in my l
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 thi
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
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
