I checked out my face in the mirror, signing as I noticed how worn out I looked. Another effect of the stupid period. I thought, putting my clothes which I had just removed into a black nylon which I had seen in the bathroom.
Exhaling deeply, I opened the door and walked out of the comfort zone.
"Finally…I had thought that you would have taken the whole day to change." Rose mentioned, immediately I stepped into the sitting room. On the opposite couch was Nick. He stood up immediately he saw me, his eyes asking how far I was doing. I just nodded, communicating that I was fine.
Rose hissed, watching us. You would think that she was a jealous girlfriend.
"Here, take this." Nick said, handing over to me a small black nylon.
"Painkillers." he mentioned when he saw my questioning gaze.
"Thanks a lot." I muttered, tears shining in my eyes. Where would I have been without the help of this kind man? I couldn't wait to see his mate. I was sure that she would be as kind as him too.
"It's nothing my dear." he said, placing his hand on my shoulder gently.
Rose snorted, obviously irritated with the display.
"We don't have all the time for this stuff; remember that the more time you waste here, the more your work piles up-incase you are hoping to delay me by playing around with our doctor." she said, and I rolled my eyes, lucky that she hadn't seen it. If not, i was sure of ten slaps when we got to the slave fields.
"Thanks a lot Ni…Doctor." I repeated, biting my tongue when I had almost made the mistake of calling his name again before Rose, not wanting her to recall the earlier one and add to my punishment which I was sure I was going to be given; punishment rather than work.
I moved out of his light hold, and stalked towards Rose who stood up at my approach, and briskly walked to the door, opened it and went out.
This was it, i thought, walking after her, the first time i was really a slave.

"Keep those things in your locker, and come back here immediately. Don't waste any more time, or else I would knock your head hard against the wall. Remember, you are no longer at Nick's place. And I will make sure you won't go back there again, even to work as a motherfucking apprentice, even if it means making it a case before the Alpha. I am sure that he will see reasons with me." Rose stated, immediately we had gotten to the slave's changing rooms. All through our walk to this place, there hadn't escaped any sound between us. She had made sure I had kept to myself-what was there to say after all, while keeping a reasonable distance away from me, in front of me.
After her statement, I had bobbled my head, nodding frantically, before hastily walking into the small bungalow, aiming straight for my locker. I was sure that she had meant her words of knocking my head against the wall. That woman was a ruthless vixen. But what about her last statement? Could she make it happen? I thought, unlocking my locker. Putting my hand inside the nylon that Nick had given me, I wasn't surprised when I saw a plate of pancakes wrapped properly with a bottle of milk. I had known there was something else in the bag, other than painkillers, when he had given it to me earlier. The weight had told me so. Happy for this source of nourishment, I hurriedly took a swig off the milk bottle before dropping the items in my locker. On second thought, I sought out the painkillers, and seeing that they were liquids in two small bottles, I had drunk and finished off one bottle, hoping that it will calm the horses of the menstrual flow.

"About time." Rose muttered, when she saw me stepping out of the bungalow.
"Good, you had come out at this time, i had been planning to come in there and fulfill my words this time around." she added, but I kept mute. What was there to say?
"Follow me." she said, and I quickly obeyed.
I marched after her, walking in steady strides behind her, a bit unhappy when i saw that we were heading for the fields, the fields resigned for the female slaves. Time to work. I wasn't feeling up with it at all, especially with my period showing up. But what could I do? I don't have a choice.
I could see most of the girls murmuring amongst themselves as I walked past them with Rose into one of the small buildings. I was glad that I couldn't hear what they were saying; for this once, I was glad that I didn't have a wolf. I didn't think that I would have been able to stay still if I had heard any wrong statement about myself, in this state I was in now. I was already irritated as it was, and any further addition on that would spike me off. So, yes, I was glad for the 'deafness'.
"Here…this is what I want you to do before the day comes to an end…" Rose started as she came to halt in front of some sacks.
Please don't tell me I would be carrying these bags. I thought, coming to a halt too, scared out of my wits. I would faint while lifting just one.
"Take this sieve close to the bag and separate the grains from their chaff." she stated, pointing to a sack, half filled and although I had thought that it was stressful, I had thought of smiling, until I had heard her next statement.
"Do the same for the remaining sacks. And be done before I am back from the Alpha's palace." she ordered, before walking out briskly as she had walked in.
What the hell! I screamed in my mind, almost fainting but for the fear of my head being hit against the wall.
How did this wicked woman expect me to sieve all of this? I thought, mentally counting the number of sacks in the room. They were nine. Nine big sacks. What the hell! I would die before I was done. I concluded. Today was my death day.
