Warrior’s Human Mate

Chapter 3

The first thing that Rose saw as she slowly awoke was the dark roof of her cage. She'd blinked slowly to clear her vision before looking around, on all sides of her were metal bars going from the ground to the top.

Had she been kidnaped? Was her first thought. As she sat up, she felt the tug of her leash pull her down. As she raised her hand to her neck, she felt the smooth leather across her fingers.

"What the hell.." She muttered as she took in her surroundings. She was lying on a comfy mattress with a blanket covering her legs. Weird for a kidnaper to pamper their victims, she thought. Outside the bars, the room she was in was more fancy than any house she had ever stepped foot inside, it seemed to be a bedroom with a large bed with a two bedside tables, both with lighted candles.

"What is this place?"

As in on cue, the door opened, revealing an older looking lady, with gray fluffy hair, wrinkled body, blue eyes with a kind face, she reminded Rose of her Grandma.

"My dear, you have been out for quite some time now. We were starting to get worried about you." She said as she turned on the lights.

Rose then sunk back, her back touching the back of the cage. "Where am I?" Rose asked.

"You are at Master's house," She said as she bent down to Rose's level.

"I don't understand, have I been kidn*pped?"

The lady chuckled "No miss, you are simply here to be fed, washed and dressed to go to your forever home."

Forever home? Did that mean she was only here to be looked after, then sent back home?

Rose then nodded "Okay, that sounds good."

"I'm Mary, by the way, and you are Rose." She said "Beautiful name." Suddenly her eyes clouded, she stared straight at Rose, unblinking.

"Are you okay, Mary?" Rose asked as she leant forward towards the front of the cage.

Mary's eyes then unclouded, she blinked at her and smiled gently. "Yes dear, I am alright, I was just mindlinking Master Ryan, only he and Master Xander can open your cage."

As in on cue again, a tall, lanky man appeared at the doorway. As he walked forward, Mary stood up and bowed her upper body towards him.

"She is awake Master," She said gently.

With a wave of his hand, the front door of the cage that housed Rose opened. "Good." Was all he said before he exited the room again. Quick as he entered, he disappeared just as quick.

Mary then picked up the leash that was tied to the wall, "Come on dear, let's get you fed."

Rose then scooted to the edge of the mattress, using the side of the cage for balance. She stood up, looking down at her body. She realized that she was wearing the PJs she was wearing the last time she was awake. Mary smiled as she led her out the bedroom door and down a hallway, leading to a large dining room.

Mary gestured for Rose to sit down. "Now dear, what would you like for breakfast? You can have anything you'd like, as long as I can make it."

"Pancakes?"

Mary nodded as she clapped her hands "Yes! I can do that." She said as she headed through large door. Mary was only gone for about five minutes before she appeared with a five stack of pancakes, with another plate with butter, syrup and Nutella spread.

"There we go dear, I'll quickly make myself something and I will join you." She said as she placed the food in front of Rose. Then she started to head back into what Rose assumed was the kitchen.

"How did you do that so fast?"

Mary stopped and slowly turned towards her. "Magic." was all she said as she exited into the kitchen again.

Rose stared at the entrance to the kitchen before she turned towards her breakfast. The pancakes smelled divine. She took a butter knife and started by opening the Nutella jar and spreading some onto her pancakes.

As she cut into her pancakes, Mary returned with a plate of her own, scrambled eggs, bacon and baked beans. They ate in comfortable silence.

As they finished eating, the door into the dining room opened. There, Ryan and Xander entered, both carrying a tray of food for themselves. They sat across from Rose and Mary.

"You were out cold for one and a half days, Rose, you must have needed that." Xander said, as he ate his cereal.

Rose looked up at the man that spoke "I guess so." She said quietly.

Ryan then cleared his throat "Mary," He said as he looked at the older lady, "Wash her today and dress her for tonight please." he said.

Mary then nodded before picking up the dishes that she and Rose had eaten from "Yes Master." She said as she bowed before entering the kitchen again, before quickly reappearing again. "Come, Rose."

Rose then stood up, she bowed to the two men before following Mary.

She followed Mary down the hall again, this time entering a large bedroom, similar to the one she had awoken in. This one had two doors, one leading to what Rose assumed was a bathroom, the other she wasn't sure about. As Mary opened the bathroom door, the white tiles blinded her. The bathroom consisted of a large spa-like bathtub, with a shower head above and a vanity.

Mary then turned to Rose. "Strip, I'll bath you."

Her eyes widened at the thought of this stranger bathing her. "I can wash myself."

Mary frowned. "I've seen a lot of people in my days darling, my Master gave me an order and I will follow it."

Nodding slowly, Rose began to remove her PJ top, bra, PJ bottoms and knickers. She'd move them to the side in a pile.

Mary nodded as she turned on the water. "See, not that bad." She said as she gestured for Rose to enter the bath.

She entered the bathtub slowly, before placing herself down. Mary then took the shower head and started to spray water all over her body, before she wet her long, ginger hair. She then took some shampoo and started to massage it onto her scalp, then took some body wash and started to rub it all over her body, minus her chest and her privates. She left that for Rose to wash herself. Mary then washed out the shampoo then added the hair conditioner, once again massaging it onto her scalp.

"I've never had someone do this to me, ma'am." Rose said as she relaxed in the tub.

Mary chuckled "No, I imagine not." She said "Usually I wouldn't do it, but Master gave me you for the day. I will do what I am tasked to do."

Rose nodded as water washed out the shampoo and washed away the body wash. Mary then pulled the plug and let out the water. She turned off the shower head and hung it back up. She then stood up and grabbed a towel and a fluffy, white robe. Handing Rose, the towel, she allowed herself to dry off, running the towel down her legs and down her arms. Once she was done, Mary handed Rose the robe. Taking the towel and clothes from the floor, Mary exited the bathroom. Rose followed her through the bedroom and into the other room, which was a giant walk-in closet.

Mary then gestured for Rose to stand in the middle of the room as she opened one of the cupboard doors to reveal a collection of dresses, ranging from casual, semi-formal and formal.

"I think if we dress you in red, you will look like a ruby," Mary commented as she pulled out a red sun dress from the cupboard. She then handed the dress to Rose. "What do you think?"

Rose then placed her hand alongside the fabric, "I like it." She said gently.

Mary then nodded before handing Rose the dress, "I thought you would. Let's find you some accessories to make you look lovely, then shall we?"

The rest of the afternoon was spent trying on accessories and matching them to the red of the dress. Rose's hair was done up in a low ponytail, with a headband with a red rose. Around her neck was a peachy colored collar with a white rose pendant. Mary said it was mandatory for her to wear it to where she was going tonight.

"Master Ryan and Master Xander will be with you tonight." Mary said while she was brushing Rose's hair.

Rose shifted nervously, "Will you be coming too?" She asked.

Mary stopped brushing her hair at the question and sighed deeply "No Rose, I will not be joining you tonight." She said while continuing to brush her hair.

"Will I ever see you again?" Rose asked.

"No dear, you will not." Mary said gently.

Rose felt sad at the thought of leaving this wonderful lady, "Did I do something wrong to never see you again?" she said while looking back at Mary. Her expression was filled with sadness.

"No my dear, this is just the way things are." She said quietly before she placed her brush down, she grabbed some hair spray and sprayed it around Rose's head. "Now, you don't mess up my job with your hair, you here me?"

Rose nodded as Mary gestured for her to stand and stand in front of her. "You look beautiful my dear," Mary said as she placed the back of her palm on Rose's cheek.

A knock on the door turned both their attention to the door as it opened, both Ryan and Xander stood there, both wearing black tuxedo suits.

"Is she ready to go?" Xander asked.

Mary nodded "Yes, Masters, she is." Mary then stood to the side to reveal Rose. Both men smiled, then nodded. Ryan approached Rose, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a peach-colored leash, the same color as her collar.

"Come now," he said gingerly as he attached the leash to her collar. "We don't want to be late." He said as he gently pulled on the leash to make her follow.

Mary followed them to the front door. The same black car that she was taken in was sitting there waiting for them. The older lady took Rose's hand.

"It was a pleasure to meet you dear. Take care now." She said as she let go of her hand.

Rose smiled at the older lady. "Thank you, Mary."

Xander opened the back door for Rose to enter. She then sat in the back of the car. Ryan entered the driver's seat as Xander sat in the front passenger seat. Once they were all seat belted up, the car started and then they started heading down the driveway. Rose looked back to find Mary standing at the front entrance of the building. She was waving her hand as she sadly watched them drive away.
