why me

11

The next week went by in a blur. The only things to do was to take sedatives and watch t.v. One reported my boredom to ailign and the next thing I knew I had a t.v. with all kinds of human shows to watch. One saying it was in Jake's files labeled gift to me. I was surprised ailign put so much effort into finding me entertainment. I cried through the whole first episode of some trashy show thinking of Jake's care. Of course he'd copy every human show out there before taking me. He was so kind and generous. I thought of what it'd be like to be laughing and watching it together now. I'd never forgive ailign for taking Jake from me. Never.

It was now the seventh day and one informed me that prince ailign would be coming to get me soon. What we'd be doing I wasn't sure but I took two sedatives that day to prepare. My nerves were shot. The longer I spent in the opulent prison the more anxious I became.

One downloaded human therapy sessions and was preparing to take me through sessions with her. Apparently the mech race preprepared a whole program but my situation was more delicate then the other girls sense I didn't even know my mate.

"I wouldn't even need this s**t if it were jake." I mumble to myself.

"Jake is deceased. Defeated honorably by prince ailign. I know this is a hard concept for you but it is common for the mech race to fight to the death over a future mate." One said.

It was a wonder they had enough people to concure the galaxy with them killing eachother off like flies just because they had a love rival.

"Now it's time to get ready for your day with prince ailign. I will dress you in the mech style." One said.

"Will anything even fit me? All of your people are huge." I say

"All of these clothes have been tailored to you after you arrived here." One said as she started pulling a white whimsical dress out of the closet. It was a showy thing with half of the stomach cut out.

I walk over and feel the dress. This thing would not help my nerves and the last thing thay I wanted to do was dress up for that prick.

"I'll wear my scrubs thanks though." I said.

"It is a rule you dress well for the prince." Was all she responded. So now he was controlling even what I wore.

"Do you have any pants." I said

She co tinued to riffle through the closet and eventually pulled out baggy tampered pants and a silky crop top my belly fully exposed.

"This will do I guess." I said with a sigh. "But tell prince ailign I want pants. I'll only wear pants from now on." I put on the surprisingly comfortable clothes, it felt like I was being hugged by a cloud.

"He will be here in thirty minutes now. I will fix your hair and then escort you the rest of the way." One said

My hair was in a long braid, that bounced on my back while walking.

"You never answered me one but what is this gold chain stuck to my neck."

I still hadn't been able to remove the layered gold chain that seemed it would choke me, I swore I moved sometimes.

"This is your identification. It is a prized metal throughout the galaxy. The emount of rows and symbols indicated your position in society. The more layers the higher the rank." She said

"Is that why prince ailign has so many?" I ask.

"Yes many of the royals have as many as to reach their face. It is a high honor to receive a new one from accomplishments or promotions." One says

"And I automatically got a s**t ton because I'm ailigns mate." I say

"It is a high honor." She responds.

High honor my ass.

"Align is waiting for you. I'll now escort you to him." One says. I look up at her trying to find strength. The strange android somehow started to become a comfort over the last week in this he'll.

"Do I have to" I whine.

"Yes Megan." She places a hand on my head and pats it gently. "You will soon be used to his presence but it starts with small steps."

"But I hate him!" I yell out.

"He is your mate now." She replies.

No he is not my mate. I would be strong. I'd find a way out of this hellhole and get revenge for Jake. Just watch me.
