The mysterious mate

The Fairmoon Pack

In the car, Jasmine had to show her the safety belt. She would show her how to unlock it so she would feel safe. Though, she did not move the whole time. Her body was stiff and shaking.

Jasmine: Hey. It's fine. You're safe now. What's your name, sweetheart?

Servant thought about it. Was it really okay to speak? She didn't know. What she was certain about was that she was being chased from her own house and her master abandoned her. It was not like she liked him or anything, but she thought she was useful at least a little, that she mattered a little, despite everything he said. She still believed that somehow he needed her and her life there had a meaning. But just like that, he got rid of her. Just like that, he gave her away to another scary man and his beasts, who was probably going to kill her anyway. What if they give her back? Would he take her again? Would he find a way to abandon her again? Would they abandon her if they realised how useless she is? Could her heart take it?

The door closed in front of her. Her new master entered the car. Suddenly, everyone fell silent. They were all looking straight ahead, as if they were talking in silence.

Ethan: That monster...he asked for more money. I refused, of course. Now I have half a million out of my pocket and a terrified mate. I hoped I would have met my mate in other conditions. Ah well.

Henry: She's not just scared, man. I don't even think she has been out of that house before. She hasn't spoke at all.

Jasmine: She won't tell me her name, for goddess sake...

Ethan: Let's not rush anything. She's scared for crying out loud, let's just start the car and go. I hate this place.

Henry: Yup, this place gives me the shenanigans. Whatever it is I don't like it either.

Jasmine: I want to know her name...

Henry started the engine, alarming every particle of Servant's body. He drove out of territory. While he did that, Servant watched her home pack disappear further away. Her heart broke into thousands of pieces. She felt as if any physical torture could not be worse than this feeling. Of course she was exaggerating it. Was that it? A new kind of torture they found? Will she come back then? No, she doubted it. That man didn't seem like he was coming back there anytime soon. He took her with him. He was not going to let her go that easily. She quickly glared at the green-haired woman. She was full of piercings on her ears. Unfortunately, that woman was staring at her from the moment they got in the car. Jazz saw her glancing at her repeatedly. She couldn't hold a cocky smirk.

Jasmine: Hey, baby don't be afraid, I won't bite...

Jasmine then reached out her hand toward her. As expected, she did not move. She didn't know what to do. What she was or wasn't allowed to do with those people. She just assumed it would be the same as before. She had to stay quiet and obey, no matter what.

Jasmine put her hand on her head and stroked it gently. Well, "her" kind of gentle. For Servant, it was rough, but not painful. She accidentally let out a whining moan that she hurriedly silenced with her frail hands.

Ethan: Oh Jazz, not that again... And don't call my mate Baby...

Jasmine kept doing annoying things to her, even after Ethan's warning. Mostly to know if she was going to react, but nothing. Jasmine did have a strong reaction when she tried to tickle her stomach. " What the f*ck where is it?" She wrapped her body in her hands, only to discover how malnourished she was. In her warrior life, she had seen horror, but that was heartbreaking. Her pearly black eyes seemed so gentle, so sweet. How could she be treated so badly?

Jasmine: I'm hungry.

Henry nodded and stopped at the nearest gas station.

Jasmine: Nope, I need more than peanuts. Let's go to a grocery store.

Henry growled and found a grocery store in the Fairmoon pack. Of course, knowing of their arrival within the borders, Luna Joseph joined them in front of the store. He asked the purpose of their visit. They explained everything that happened. Servant then understood that this man had bought her and she was now his property ( but that wasn't what he said). The Little Joseph walked over to her. He was as small as she was, maybe she was a little taller. In his hands, he was holding a young child. A young, beautiful, auburn-haired child with big brown eyes staring and smiling at her as if there was nothing more than her in this world. She waited outside with Joseph while the others were in the store. Her "master" was not there, so she could dare to do something "outraging". She reached out for the baby, who gripped tightly on her finger. Pulling her glove away from her hand. When she tried to pick it up, Joseph pulled her up and simply said "let it-it g-go, you are fr-ree now..." As if he knew she had been enslaved all those years (well he knew). He reached for her other hand, pulled her hand free of that cage and threw the glove in the trash. Her skin was so white, he thought he could see through her.

Joseph: Y-you ne-need so-some sun!

She stopped him before he reached her veil.

Servant: Master wouldn't be happy if I took it off...

Suddenly, behind her, a large 6 foot 4, caramel-skinned man with green eyes loudly cleared his throat, startling her from her core.

He was a bit taller than her new "master". This was a monster. A huge monster. He was followed by a beautiful woman who looked a lot like him, but she was smiling with all her teeth instead of that stern look on his face.

Eddie: What is the meaning of this? Master? What is that?

Joseph: Oh, H-Honey, this is A-alpha Ri-rivera's mate! This is m-my mate Eddie the Alpha of this pack!

Servant stared at the ground and bowed at the tower. She shook from everywhere and they felt it. They could hear her heart beat so fast, it was worrisome.

Eddie: Oh my god, Jo. This is how we met all over again. Who broke her like that?

Joseph explained the situation. They ended up b*tching the Bloodcrest pack. They didn't even bother to help during the war. Moreover, they were greedy and unpleasant to work with, so even if they would have helped, treason were their strong suit. They were not surprised to find out they had slaves. This would be a matter to attend with the lycan king later.

While they were talking, Joseph noticed his baby was trying to reach for her again. He simply handed his son over. She grabbed the baby, thinking he needed to do something else, but he stood there smiling, making her confused and uncomfortable. However, she felt the warmth of the baby against her thin chest. Their eyes locked on each other. She didn't know this feeling and it was the first time she could hold her eyes into someone else's gaze. Unconciously, she held the baby tightly against her chest, not knowing why this felt so reassuring. She felt at peace. As if all those years of suffering were forgotten. The baby hugged her back, making her close her eyes to enjoy this feeling. In that moment, nothing else mattered.

Some memories made Joseph feel nostalgic. Before meeting his mate, he would also find his peace while hugging young children. They were the only people willing to let him hold them in his arms. Now, his mate would only do that. He had been blessed with a much more cuddlier person than he was. Now, every day, he needed that physical contact. "She is looking for love... this is not hopeless after all", Joseph thought.

Ethan, Jasmine and Henry went out of the store. She gave the baby back and both her and the child were heart-broken. She wanted that moment to last forever and he felt safe in her arms.

After goodbye, they went back to the car and Jasmine pulled out fruit, a fresh prepared salad and some pre-cooked chicken nuggets. Servant started salivating more than ever. She had not eaten that day nor the day before. The last meal she had was three days before and it was a single bite of cold beef. After Jasmine stirred the salad, she handed it to her. " That is worse than torture... I'm so hungry... " Her stomach growled so loudly, everyone in the car heard it. She blushed in embarrassment. Yet, she did not touch it.

Ethan: What are you waiting for? Eat!
