~Rosie Hale's POV~

The Midnight Black Pack's current Alpha will soon be passing his title off to his son Zander Knight. This means Zander will be choosing his slave. All human girls the age of sixteen have to be present at the slave choosing ceremony held today.

I'm sixteen years of age and a human so that means I'll be attending as well. I really hope I don't get chosen. My sister, Julia Hale got chosen about five years ago.

It was awful for my sister because she was chosen when she was very young. They didn't have the rule of being sixteen years of age to be able to be chosen back then. So she was chosen very early. And two years after she was chosen, she was found killed.

That's what the werewolves do. They kill you once they find their mate because they don't need you for their sexual pleasures anymore.

I know, it's horrible. I feel really bad for the girl who'll be chosen this year. I heard Zander Knight is worse than all the other previous Alpha King's. So this year the girls are even more scared than usual.

I could possibly be the chosen girl but I doubt it. The Alpha's go for the most beautiful girl. I don't really think I'm the most beautiful so hopefully I have the chance of not being chosen.

I wish this whole slave tradition didn't exist. It's torture for all the girls to be at the ceremony, anxiously sitting there, hoping they won't get chosen.

I have to say Zander Knight is gorgeous. The most handsome guy I have probably ever laid eyes on. But he's cruel and doesn't care about anyone but himself.

The werewolf that took my sister was in fact not an Alpha. Any werewolf can take a himan in as their slave but the ceremony is specifically for Alpha's to choose. The werewolf that took my sister in, hadn't found his mate and he believed he wouldn't ever find her which is why he decided he wanted a slave, to use her. Later on he did end up finding his mate which resulted in killing my sister. I hated how he killed her. Was it really that hard to send her back home?

Zander's great great grandpa's the one who created this whole slave choosing ceremony. And it gets continued after a certain amount of years. Now it's Zander's turn. Once Zander has kids, his son will choose a slave too when he's to become an Alpha. And this tradition will carry on and on, into the future.

"Rosie, sweetie it's time for you to get ready for the slave ceremony." My mom said in a croaky voice as if she had been crying for hours.

I quickly took a shower and threw on a cream coloured dress. I then curled my light brown hair and put on a light coating of makeup. You're probably wondering why I seem to be getting so dressed up and it's because I have to. It's the ceremony rule. I've heard stories about the guards beating you up if you didn't come looking presentable.

"Sweetie you look gorgeous. Too gorgeous." My dad said as he pulled me into a hug. I could feel his tears fall onto my shoulder.

"Dad I haven't been chosen yet." I quietly said but I was close to tears as well.

"I'm scared you're going to be picked like Julia was." My dad said wiping his tears away. I just hugged him tightly in response. My mom came next with a handkerchief in her hand to hug me. She was crying as well. My parents have already lost a daughter and they really didn't want to lose me as well.

The doorbell rang and I knew my ride was here. Zander made sure to send cars to pick up all the girls and drag them if they refused to come.

I hugged my parents one more time, gently wiped my tears away so I don't ruin my makeup and made my way over to the car to attend this ceremony.
