Chapter 5

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.
