"Wake up!", A stun voice yells waking me from my sleep,a woman I've never seen in a maid's uniform ,staring down at me with a girl my age next to her,her hair is tried in a tight crisp bun and she looks at me like I owe her money,I look around and notice I'm in some type of dormitory with a dozen beds with trunks in front of them.
"Where am I?, where is my father?".
"From today onwards you belong to the Alpha, you'll have to work to pay the money your father owes, get up and follow me! ",She says walking away, I get up to follow behind her and the girl. After walking for some time and making a couple of turns we finally reach the bathrooms. There are rolls of tubs and showers in an area with blow dryers and hair straighteners.
There are three more maids waiting there, one with a bucket and the other with a hose. The lady nods at the one with nothing and she begins stripping me down.I try to struggle but I'm unmatched for this woman's strength. What is an Amazonian? after stripping me naked she shoves me into one of the shower stalls and I'm being sprayed with a great force of water ,the water hitting me painfully to the ground and I'm screaming for them to stop,and all I hear are their giggles of delight ,it felt like I was drowning she didn't even give me time to catch my breath, after what felt like an hour if torment. She stops and I cough up some of the water,the other with a bucket dumps the soapy water on me and gets a loader which she uses to srab me raw.I try getting her off me but these ladies really have exceptional strength and the hose water hits me again.
After the torment stops the lady that brought me here walks in front of me "what is your name?",she asks but I just ignore her and another spray of water this time so power he snaps my head back "speak when spoken to!",
"Eden Blake",I choke out.
"Alright Eden, I'm one of the head servants here,You will refer to me as Ms Astrid ,Jill here will show you around",she says and walks off,with the women that gave me a bath from hell.
The girl Jill smiles at me and hands me a light purple dress with a white apron,black shoes and socks. Just like the ones she's wearing.
"Get up and follow me ",she says leading me to the area with the mirrors and blow dryers, I look at myself in the mirror and my face is red from all the water hitting it , the place my father kicked me last night is a little bit purple and aches, my hair has shrunk too, who never told these people you don't wet a black woman's hair.
"You really have a nice curvy body,just be careful not to grab the attention of the males ,they can claim whomever they want".
claim whomever they want is this some sex trade place or something ?
"Hurry up and get dressed, this place is not that bad just follow the rules and keep your head down and you'll be okay, whatever life you had forget it, whatever dreams and hopes forget them all , you now belong to the Alpha",she says as she blow drys my hair and I apply the lotion on my body.
Alpha? Is it the name of the guy that runs this place? What kind of stupid name is that?.
"Avoid those that wear a different uniform from ours in short those like the head servant,they do not take lightly of our kind",
" What do you mean our kind?"
" Humans are like,how can I say it? rodents to them,so just keep your head low no matter what",
She keeps confusing me even more " what do you mean human Ms aren't we all?".
" No, the servants that wear black and white are werewolves and we humans wear purple"
" Are you sh*ting me right now",I laugh but she looks at me dead in the eyes "what are you going to tell me Vampires are real?"
She looks at me and nods yes " girl if you don't get the f**k out of here with that nonsense",I laugh.
" Believe it or not but just listen to me",she says and combs my hair into a slick back ponytail," we have to do something about your curls otherwise it might bring trouble, trust me the she wolves can get really jealous", and tucks my hair into a bun.
I go by the sink and brush my teeth then we head back to the dormitory.
"This is the key to your trunk , you'll find some clothes, pajamas,another uniform in it and other necessities in it ,you bed is bed number 12 , it's the same number on your keychain and mine is bed number 11 which is next to yours", after that she hands me a bagel " here ,if you miss meals you don't get to eat so make sure to have food at meal time,we eat after the all of them have eaten,you and I have the same work assigned so just follow me".
" What is this a Nazi concerntration camp?"I ask, this places has so many rules.i look around the room and the windows are not only tiney buy are placed really high,you can't even step on the bed to reach them because the beds are really low to the ground,an dthe trucks are so heavy a hand can't carry them.
I quickly ate the bagel because I've been hungry since yesterday. We walked down some corridors, with me struggling to pull the dress that keeps rising down.
"I'll get you another one",Jill says as we reach the bustling kitchen. I follow Jill to the sink and begin washing the vegetables.I can't believe they all think I'll be fine with this.I have to take a look around and figure out a way to escape. I'm not paying for money I did not borrow.
After standing there and washing, it was finally time for lunch Jill told me the man called Alpha isn't around at times so only the other males are.
"Jill and the new girl, we're short of hands",a black woman says,I don't know why I feel relieved but I thought I was the only female of color in this place,but even though she was the same ethnicity as me I just didn't feel comfortable there was just something off about these servants,they looked like humans but just carried a different air around them , maybe it's because of the series of events I went through from last night when I was kidnapped up until now, I was starting to think the nonsense Jill was saying is true.
She holds my hand to reassure me ,we push the carts behind Ms Astrid and four other servants into a large dinning hall,Jill and I are in charge of the beverages,our cart even has wine what kind of phycos have wine with their breakfast,the dining hall has men and women as well, judging from the way the women are dressed I'm convinced this place is a high end brothel and I have to get the hell out of here.
Ms Astrid clears her throat, snapping me out of my thoughts. I grab the jar with orange juice and fill the glass of one of the women.
The man next to her slapped my ass and laughed "she must be new",he said looking at me with lust.
M*theref**ker! How dare he ,I grab the utensil closest to me which is a fork and stab him in the arm with all my strength and.
"B*tch!",he yells, grabbing me by the neck and raising me above the ground.
"Kevin put her down,if you still want to keep your head attached to your neck", another man yells. I'm scratching at his arm for him to let me go despite the burning in my chest.He finally let's go of me throwing me to the floor.
"Are you okay?"Jill rushes to my side.
"Touch me again and I'll end you asshole!"I spit, I'll never let a man take advantage of me again.
"Shut up!", Ms Astrid yells and grabs me by the hair slapping me across the face. This b*tch,my vision almost blackens as I see reality split in four ,my cheek stings so bad I think it split in half.
"Enough!The Alpha wishes to speak to her" another man says.
Jill helps me up and helps me walk to follow behind the man ,we took some stairs and finally stood in front of large double doors.
"Syrus!"The man calls and a voice tells us to come in.
"Are we going to see the Man called Alpha",I whisper to Jill ignoring the metallic taste of blood in my mouth.
"No his name is not Alpha, he is the Alpha,the one that runs everything around here ,the man that owns you"
" You mean like Alpha of a wolf pack?", I ask and Jill nods her head
The man cleared his voice and I realized we were already inside the study filled with the scent from last night. I can't help but take a deep breath.
"Leave us !",the husky voice says,they both walk out leaving me there standing,I raise my eyes and take a look at him,this is the man that told them to take me. When I lay my eyes on him I can't help but gasp.Lustrous dark brown hair, his eyebrows sloped downwards into a serious expression, his lips drawn into a hard line across his face, a prominent jaw curved gracefully and the strength of his neck showed in the twining cords of muscle that shaped his abdomen, strong arms and a firm chest. An Adonis among the other men I've seen so far in this place that pale in comparison.The tapping of his lean slender fingers on the table drew me back to his face,he had the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen, golden like honey with gray flecks,the intensity of his eyes almost made my knees give out.I'm not one to swoon over a handsome man and I'm usually indifferent but I know the blush that accompanied my face was a dead giveaway about how flustered I was in his presence."Had enough?",he say
I wake up in a cold sweat on a hospital bed,the hand that almost got ripped to shreds bandaged . "It's good to see that you're awake",a voice says." You must be Eden, I'm glad to see you're awake you lost a lot of blood,how do you feel?",he warmly asks." Tired and my arm hurts like a m*therf**ker ",I whisper." It's normal,she got her claws in really deep but somehow managed to miss your artery not causing you to bleed to death,you took the dose of wolfsbane pretty well,it usually knocks humans out for three to four days but you were only out for one",he says." Look at my bad manners I'm Doctor Finlay but you can just call me Mark", he says taking my IV out. I don't know what it is about him , maybe it's the warmth in his eyes and all his bright smile but he reminded me so much of Tyrone.He prescribed me a small dose of wolfsbane to help with the pain only to take at night and told me how to take care of the wound and also some antibiotics for the wound inside my cheek from the sla
Syrus' POVI listened to Collin's report on what the head servant did to Eden.I know I said I don't care about her but recalling how she looked in that tight fitted uniform had me barely keeping myself together,I wanted to claim her right there and then on my table.I'm losing it,not only is she a human but her father threatens the existence of my species.The goddess must be f**king with me for giving me a human as a mate."You know you can't keep ignoring her right?", Collin says." Shut up, I'm not in the mood, it's normal to be sexually attracted to my fated mate , after all it helps with the conceiving of an heir, but a human? is the goddess f**king with me ?, I can never be with a lesser being much less the cause of all my problems"" I just hope you know what you're doing"," I'm the greatest Alpha there has ever been,of course I know what I'm doing",I say and take a drink from my whiskey, that's right it's just the pheromones."Has he said anything?", I ask, changing the topic
After dinner Jill and I waited for the wolves to finish their baths so we could have ours. "Do you think of ever leaving this place?" I ask as we sweep the kitchen." Why would I want to leave,I have everything I need here ,out there I have nothing"." Me too but we can be each other",I don't know why I said that, that's what Tyrone used to tell me always."It's useless the Alpha will find us anyway and there will be horrible consequences,they might even feed you to the rogues in the dungeons".Rogues?like the ones my dad spoke of in the stories? I wonder how he's doing right now, where they are holding him. I don't want to care but I just can't help it."Dungeons? there are dungeons here that have rogues in them?"." Yes the servants used to take me there to scare me into obedience, they'd lock me up for days next to a cell of a rogue that wanted nothing but to break through to get to me and eat me",she says, she says it as if it is a normal thing and just continued on with her work.
The whole room becomes quiet, nobody speaks and they seem to be too shocked to speak."F**k!", Syrus cusses .And Yedira begins laughing "wait until father hears this ,your mate is the daughter of the man that made the formula for the drug that is turning wolves rogue, that turned your love into one as well,now this is what I call entertainment",she says downing the her glass ,Syrus walks up from his sit and grabs the bottle from her and drinks everything to the last drop."What's going on, what do you mean I'm his mate,mate like soulmates?",I ask." Yes, something like that",Mark says,and I can't explain the joy I feel.I look towards Syrus looking for something,joy , reassurance, anything at all, but all he does is glare at me,I see anger and disappointment.What do they mean about drugs , whose love has gone rogue that she spoke of. I have all these questions that need answers."You can't possibly be thinking of Deborah? You know that she has a mate ,she left you for him . what ? No
I Ielt fear ,an uncomfortable fear like I was in so much trouble. "You , what's your name?",Sarai asks while wiping her hand.I couldn't find my voice and before I realized it I was shivering."Speak!",the lady that opened the door says she must be Tatiana."Eden, Eden Blake Ms..""You're the one that has been causing a lot of trouble,you got Astrid fired", Tatiana says calmly." You smell like Syrus!Tell me why you smell like him!",Sarai yells ,she must be impulsive but people like her are better than the calm Tatiana who's stare penetrated into my soul."You little b*tch!"Sarai lunged at me. I could see her claws aiming at my face but the door suddenly burst open and in a blink of an eye she was pinned at the wall by Syrus.His power hand wrapped around her delicate neck it looked like he was going to snap her neck,but Tatiana managed to pull him from her , convincing him to let her go.Jill pulled me from where I was kneeling and we got out of the room,my knees kept shaking all the
"Happy birthday!"Jill yells, waking me from my sleep. She had a cup with a candle lit on top of it. "Happy 18th birthday","Thank you,you didn't have to",I say, blowing out the candle. I've finally turned eighteen,this is what I wanted more than anything so I could get away from my father and start a new life. It's been a month since Syrus rejected me and banned me from working inside the house so he can't see me.We get up before Carol comes,my life has been a complete hell,we work till we drop but at least we have each other,Jill and I will leave this place all have to do is plan carefully,if Syrus doesn't love me then that's his own loss I won't stay broken on the floor and cry , I'm Eden Blake life has put me through too much to break from this , even though it hurts I just work myself out do I don't have time to think about being rejected.I don't know if Sarai and Tatiana know that I'm Syrus' mate but they make sure Carol drops all the work on us ,even the other humans leave mos
I open my eyes and I'm in the infirmary again with Jill by my side."Did that m*therf**ker do this to you!",she angrily questions.What? What is she talking about? Does she think Syrus did this to me?."Tell meEden did he do this to because I'm ready to end that bastard!"," No he didn't,why would you even think that?"" Don't try to protect him, Eden!"" Jill, Syrus didn't do this to me,it was Ana and Penelope, together with two other girls, they caught me in the hallway and beat me up"." I'll show them not to mess with you!",she yells " but they really f**ked you up really good, we'll have to get them back even if the head servants cut our meals"The door opens and Mark walks in " you're my most regular patient, better be careful, I'll begin thinking you like seeing my face, Sarai really lost it , Syrus already warned her not to hurt you,but lucky for you he already kicked her out",he says and takes a seat. I'm happy to hear that Syrus didn't let her get away with this even though
