The slave with the king mate

Chapter three

Joseph:

I’ve been travelling all night with my beta, and a few pack members to meet with the blood moon pack about some on going vampire attacks. Normally vampires stay as far away from wolf territory as they can but these ones seem to be moving closer inwards as the days go by. My beta Sam is looking over the map of the blood moons territory and the locations of the attacks.

“ Find anything?”. I ask him.

“No not really. But it’s seems to be that they are getting closer and closer to the pack houses location. I’m surprised the Alpha has only just informed us now. There has already been 6 human deaths this week”.

“Maybe his one of those Alphas that thinks of himself to highly to ask for help sooner then he thinks he needs it?” My beta just nods. I actually haven’t had the pleasure of meeting his Alpha William but what I can gather from other pack Alphas is he isn’t a very nice bloke and treats his pack like s**t so I already hate him. I don’t understand any Alpha that thinks he has the right to treat his pack how he pleases.

“Hey look on the bright side. I know your dreading this trip but it might not be for the worst. You might find your mate here. It’s one of the only packs left in the country you haven’t travelled to yet”. That’s true. I look over at my beta who’s smiling. I’ve been slowly travelling around the country meeting all the packs and hoping to find my mate. I’m about to turn 22 and I’m the oldest king that has gone without being mated. Normally a king finds his mate within the first few months of being sworn in after there 18th birthday. But not me. I know she’s out there though I can feel it in my soul and heart. She’s out there waiting for me and when I find her I’m going to make sure I never let her go.

Emily:

I wake up to the banging of something against my metal bars. I jump up to find Micheal standing at the door.

“Wakey wakey, Alpha says if you want a shower you take it now. He doesn’t want the others to see his letting you use on one the showers”. I nod my head. “ His already got an outfit set up ready to go and even left you a brush” he laughs. “ Because you definitely need it”. Micheal follows me to the downstairs bathroom and I close the door behind me. Sitting on the sink is a beautiful red and white pot a dotted dress there’s even a pair of shoes with little bows. I turn on the shower enjoying feeling the warm water all over my body. Hanging onto the shower head is a strawberry and cream soap and a 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner. It’s been years since Ive been able to wash my hair.

“Hurry up! That’s enough”. I heard Micheal yell through the door. I quickly finish washing my hair and hop out. I look at myself in the mirror. Even though I haven’t looked in the mirror in a while, I swear my eyes were blue not green and my hair is looking a lot redder then normally. It even seems to sparkle That’s probably cause it hasn’t been washed in a while though but still. My face is thin as I only get scrapes. I don’t even recognise the person staring back at me. I give my hair a brush and throw on the clothes that were left for me. I open the door to Micheal still standing there. His mouth open in shock.

“Wow you clean up nicely. If you were anyone else I would say you even looked pretty”. I don’t know weither to take that as a complement or insult. I head into the kitchen to start breakfast. Before long I hear the door bell ring and Micheal comes running into the kitchen.

“Hurry up and clean this kitchen now and get down to your room.The kings here early and the Alpha doesn’t want him seeing this mess”. He jesters to the kitchen bench. The kitchen didn’t take long to clean up as I clean as I go. I finish putting the last few things on the table. And go to head down to my room. s**t I just remembered I still have washing on the line Alpha William will kill me if he finds out I left it out. He reconds that I ruin his clothes every time I leave them out of the line for to long and punishes me for it. Although the only time I get to hang out the washing is in the afternoon so it’s never dry by the time night falls. But here in Texas we have very warm nights so even with the dark the washing drys overnight and I bring it in in the morning as soon as I get the chance.

“ Micheal I know I’m meant to head straight to my room but is there any chance I could go and collect the washing off the line. I promise I won’t come any where near the kitchen areas and will head straight down to my room once done”. Micheal stares at me for a moment. His eyes clouding over which means his mind linking the Alpha.

“ Fine but stay outside until breakfast is over. DONT go anywhere”. I nod my head and head outside.

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY”. Someone comes up and gives me a hug from behind as I walk towards the line.

“Thanks Alice”. I mumble.

“How are you feeling?”. She asks with a smile.

“I’m feeling fine I guess. Not really any different”. She laughs.

“ Yeah the beginning of the day is always like that. Let me look at you see if anything’s changed”. I stand in front of her and she looks me over. “That’s odd” she mumbles.

“What is?”. I ask as I start pulling and folding the washing off the line.

“Your eyes have changed colour. Yesterday they were blue and today there green.” I knew it.

“ Does that not normally happen?”. I ask confused.

“No. Not that I’ve ever seen” she starts mumbling to herself for a bit before looking up at me. “ You hang here I’ll be right back”. She bolts off towards the back door. For an older lady she’s pretty fast.
