Chapter 9

Samantha POV

I 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 cook for tonight. There is a BBQ to welcome you to the island."

"Thank you for warning me. You do know that they did not have to do that?" I raise my eyebrow at it.

"O, they know. This is more of an excuse to have a little party. I have to run. I will be back at five to come and pick you up. Have a nice day."

Before I can return his goodbye, he was gone. I start contemplating what I was going to do today. The best place to start is in the bathroom.

I get up and walked to my room. I picked out jeans and a t-shirt for the day, I walked into the bathroom and was nearly knocked to the ground. There was a shower and a bath in the bathroom. Well, I would not quite call it a bath. It looked more like a hot tub. There were buttons I did not understand on the side. I guess I will ask Kaleb once he gets back.

For practical reasons I got in the shower, however, when I turned it on I got the shock of my life. There was water blasting me from every angle. I decided to just go with it and wash as fast as I possibly can.

I quickly dried myself and got dressed. There was a basket full of dirty clothes, so I decided to take it with me in search of the many wonders that this house has in store for me.

I give one last look at the evil shower and closed the door behind me.

I find the washer and dryer in a room next to the kitchen. Well, I guess you can call it the laundry room. There are some of Kaleb's clothes on the shelves. It has already been washed and folded. I will pack them away as soon as I was done in the kitchen.

I made my way back to the kitchen. I went through the cabinets one by one. I found the cleaning supplies under the sink.

Luckily for me, I already brought out all the dirty dishes in the house. I washed all of them and wiped down the counters.

I went back into the laundry room. I took the empty clothes basket and placed all Kaleb's clothes into it.

I went in search of Kaleb's room. It didn't take me long to find it. It was the room right next to mine. I don't know what happened here. It almost looks like a tornado hit it. I don't really understand. The rest of the house is so clean in comparison to his bedroom.

I start cleaning up. First the bed and then the rest of the room. There were clothes scattered all over the floor. I folded everything and placed it back into his cupboard. It took me more than two hours just to clean up.

Once I was finally done, I made my way back into the living room. I heard a knock on the door and made my way there to open the door.

On the other side of the door, there are six women.

"Hi, my name is Carra." She gives me a kind smile.

"Hi, Carra. My name is Samantha. Is there something I can help you with?"

"Actually you can. We are the few slaves at the pack. We came here to introduce ourselves. It will be nice to actually have someone new in our group. We have been together for almost 3 years now."

"It is nice to meet you all. Master Kaleb actually warned me that some of the slaves would stop by. Why don't you come in? It would be nice to actually have more friends than the one I already have." 

I step back and let everyone pass me. I lead them towards the living room. We spent the rest of the afternoon just getting to know each other. Carra seems to be the leader of the group. She is also the one that has been the longest with the pack. 

Mila and Sonia are the quiet ones in the group. I can understand why. They went to school together and were lucky enough to be bought by the same person. Their school taught them to be silent, that no one wants to hear a slave talk and should only talk when they are spoken to. I cannot imagine myself living like they are.

Alice and Julia are the wild cards in the group. They speak their minds. They don't look like people that will ever change. 

Kate is Carra's daughter. She is one of the few humans that stayed in the pack after her retiring age. She is now a nanny to her previous master's children. Her husband is one of the human males that live and work on the island. He was struggling to find work on the human island and ask the Werewolf king if he could work here for him. Now he is the royal gardener.
