POV Samatha
My wolf wakes me up. “ Our mate is downstairs. You need to go and rejected him!” She demands. All the hurt returns as I wake up. I try not to cry, and be positive. “Shut up!” I tell my wolf," You're not the boss of me! I tried to reject him, and he slapped me painfully twice. You're no help. You won’t even give me your name. So just forget about telling me what to do. You're just a voice in the background.” I hear a loud growl, and it startles me. I realize the growl came from me, from my wolf. “My name is Gabriel. I am a warrior! I bow to no alpha! He is not our destined mate. We have a second chance, mate, and we need to leave this pack and find him.” She says in my head, irritated. “I am no warrior Gabriel, I just want to be a housewife, and raise my kids.” “Then there is nothing I can do for you until you desire more than to be a slave to a man that will never love you,” after that she goes quiet. I hear my mom call me to come downstairs. I find my family all sitting at the table with Kyle. They all have disappointing looks on their faces. “Is it true Sam?” my father yells, "Did you throw yourself at the alpha, and ask to be his mistress like some slut?" “No, father!” I cry, "He is my mate. I don’t want to be anyone’s mistress." “I’m not your mate, Samatha. You threw yourself at me today and offered to be my mistress. I accept your request. My father has a mistress, and I will have a mistress as well. Pack up your things. You will move into the pack house with me. A couple of omegas will arrive shortly to pick up your stuff. You will work in the pack house as a slave. You will cook and clean with the rest of the omegas, and service me on request,” Kyle demands, then leaves. My father looks at me, disgusted. He no longer has the look on his face that I’m the apple of his eye. His favourite daughter. He doesn’t even ask about my wolf. “To say I’m disappointed in you is an understatement, Samatha. Chasing after a powerful wolf by offering yourself is not what a respected wolf does. I don’t want to look at you. Go pack up your stuff, and leave this house. You are no longer my daughter. I will not be associated with you or the shame you have brought to this family,” my father says angrily. I gasp in shock, then head up to my room to pack. I’m crying uncontrollably while packing all my favourite things. All the reminders of before today of what a wonderful life I had. I don’t understand what I did to deserve this kind of treatment from the moon goddess. My wolf still refuses to speak to me. I grab my favourite heart necklace my sister lily gave me for my 16th birthday, and put it on. Once I’m done packing my things in boxes. I pack a small bag of toiletries to take with me. I Pull myself together, and go downstairs. Keeping my head down, like the slave I now am. I walk past my family, trying not to burst into tears. I get outside and look at the beautiful house I grew up in. All the wonderful memories of my childhood pour through me. I push it all down and walk to the pack house when I run into my best friend, Melanie. “Hi Melanie,” I say, happy to have someone to talk about my wolf and everything that has gone wrong with today. However, the look on her face is angry. I can tell this is not the same person I grew up with, that I spent endless summers at the beach house. Making sand castles and drinking cherry Kool-aid. “Slut!” she says," How dare you whore yourself out to my betrothed! I thought you were my friend. You're nothing but a lying whore!" She slaps me hard on the right cheek. I should have you thrown in the dungeon for this betrayal. You're our slave now, and I shall treat you as I see fit. Expect a lot of beatings, you dumb whore!" She yells, and stomps off. I’m completely shocked. This is not what I expected. I wanted to explain myself, but she didn’t give me the chance. I lower my head and head to the pack house.POV Samatha I wake up in a daze. I wonder downstairs and make myself a cup of tea. It seems I’m the only one up. Grabbing a blanket from the hallway closet. I climb onto the porch swing, drinking my tea, watching the world go by. I hear the morning birds sing and watch the sun slowly rise. It’s beautiful and peaceful. When I go to rub my hand on the mini heart necklace, I always wear around my neck, that my sister lily gave me. It feels different; the chain is thicker and smoother and the heart feels like it opens. When I try to open it. I realize it’s a locket and the faint smell of him fills my nostrils. The smell of royalty. I can’t quite explain the smell. I always heard that until you reject your first mate. You don’t really smell your second chance, mate. Wait, this is supposed to be my sister’s necklace. Oh-no the night before suddenly hits me. The package from the king. The note, I don’t remember what it said. What did it say? I run back upstairs and search my
POV Samatha It’s a long drive to Katrina’s. We stop for gas, and Jason brings me back a Dr Pepper and Cheetos. I don’t know if Kyle told him to get it for me, or maybe he remembered from our last trip. I take it happily. No one has really said anything the entire trip. I feel like everyone can hear me snacking on my Cheetos. When we finally get to the blood moon pack, the guards greet us and let us through. We pull up to a beautiful house that reminds me a lot of the one I grew up in. An elderly lady comes to meet us. “You look like a frail bird.” She gives me a big hug and tells me. “Don’t you worry, I will nurse you back to health, young one. My name is Katrina, but you can call me kat. I used to work in the hospital as a doctor. I recently retired. Oh, and this must be Amanda” She reaches out and gives Amanda a big hug. “I know why you're here. It’s actually forbidden for alphas to have fated mates as mistresses, or to have a mistress when their wife is a fate
POV Samatha I get back into the routine of work. After work, Amanda and I hang out and let our wolves go for runs. I find out Amanda had an affair with my father, the beta. When my mom, his chosen mate, found out, she wanted her thrown out of the pack. However, she is a cousin of alpha Kyles, father. So he went easy on her. Gave her the option of being thrown out of the pack or take on the position of head of the kitchen. A pack member needs permission to take on a mistress from the pack alpha. So really, I’m the only one that gives her the time of day. We talk about forming a mistress club. It’s just nice to have a friend again. She tells me all the rumours. Apparently, kyle is refusing to sleep with Melanie. Kyle’s father is threatening to send me away, unless kyle does as he told. Which is odd, Kyle is now the alpha. He really doesn’t have to do anything, or allow his father to send me away. One night when Amanda and I were hanging out. kyle walks in. “I’m r
POV Samatha Kyle didn’t get in until 3am this morning. Just stagger in and passed out on the sofa. He won’t make any eye contact with me and when I started packing everything up to leave at 830am. He just barked at me to hurry the fuck up. When he is still lying on the sofa. When I dragged my suitcase out to the SUV. Beta Keith stops me from getting in the head SUV. “Alpha Kyle wants you to drive back with the warriors.” I put my head down, walk over to the second SUV. No one helps me put my luggage in the trunk. When we stop for gas, Jason the guard sitting beside me brings me back a power bar and water. It felt like the longest 6 hours of my life. Gabriel remains silence as well. I could feel a strong sadness stemming from her. It made me want to just fall over and cry. At one point close to the pack. All the SUVs stop at the side of the road. I see Kyle get out of the head SUV. He pulls out his suitcase from the trunk. Dramatically throws it on the ground at the side of the
POV Samatha It’s the last night of the pack meetings. We’re leaving for home in the morning. Kyle leaves every morning without a word. Then comes home in the wee hours, drunk again, and just passes out. The guards have been bringing me meals. I’ve been running every night with Gabriel to feel better. We decide not to run tonight. As it’s our last night here, Kyle might come home early. I’m watching a medical show on T.V. When I hear a knock at the door. How strange, who knocks at 8:30pm at night? I answer the door. There is a royal messenger. He hands me a royal package, then walks away. Oddly, he didn’t even ask who I was. I could have been anybody. What could it be? I put it on the bed and try to have a bath. However, my legs won’t move. “You get a surprise package from the royal messenger, you're not even going to open it?” Gabriel asks. “Curiosity kills the cat,” I tell her. “Well then, it’s a good thing we’re a wolf, and not a cat,” “ Fine!” I say. Then open the packa
POV Samatha I’m deep in a dating show. When I hear a knock at the door. I answer, and it’s one of Kyle’s guards named Peter. He tells me he’s there to take me out around the village. I grab my purse, put on my shoes, grab my jacket, and head out the door. We grab fries and a burger at Ann’s burger restaurant. Then head to the centre of the village. I buy a few simple dresses, some shoes and a beautiful emerald necklace. After dragging peter around to the shops, I offer to take him somewhere for a beer. He takes me to a fancy pub, and we relax at a booth, and sip our drinks. I pull out the emerald necklace and admire its beauty. Then decide to go to the washroom and put the necklace on. I’m so busy staring at the necklace on the way. I accidentally bump into someone and drop the necklace. When I bent down quickly to pick it up. Then stand back up. I’m looking at the most beautiful man I have ever seen. His blue eyes sparkle, and he’s smiling at me. He has wavy dark blond, al
