My Mate’s Mistress and I

Finally a back bone

Porter laid his head on his desk feeling defeated. He let out a fierce growl shaking the bones of the pack house. Though he could not admit it to himself, he craved to be close to his mate. His mark smelt of infection and the lack of sleep was draining him. The mere sight of Sophie had started to infuriate him, the lack of attention had sent her on a rampage around the pack house. His Wolf howled in his head begging to be let free to go to his mate. Porter’s Wolf was so loud, in his head, his ears began to ring. He squeezed his head as tight as he possibly could, his Wolf was trying to takeover but Porter could not allow this to happen. Begging for some quiet Porter gently shushed his Wolf with promises he had no intention of keeping. Even the thought of Piper helped calm him, imagine what her touch could do his Wolf whimpered. Porter banged his head repeatedly on the table and groaned. He had not noticed the knocks at his door.

  “Alpha, I hope I am not disturbing you?” Gamma Elijah asked poking his head through the door. Porter lifted his bloody forehead up the table and scowled at his Gamma

  “I hope for your sake you have some good news,” he growled wiping the blood away, his head wound already healed,

  “The Beta has returned, he’s waiting for you in he cells with the elemental,” Elijah replied. Porter grinned and shot of his chair.

This morning, as dark and dreary as it was, Piper was washed, dressed and ready to greet the harsh maids as they barged into her room. Reading a book, she sat crossed legged at the edge of the bed awaiting their arrival. Confused, they wondered around the room in search of something, anything she had forgotten. They found a neat bed, a freshly cleaned bathroom and even the windows gleamed back at them. The head maid of the group began to speak, Piper in response held up one finger not even bothering to look up from her book.

  “Perhaps I should attend to your wound Miss Piper. It’s begging to look septic,” she responded deeply offended and in turn offensively,

  “Perhaps you should find a doctor to give me his opinion and continue to be silent as I signalled, Omega,” Piper replied turning a page of the book she was no longer reading. Speechless she folded her arms and gestured at the rest of the maids to leave “No body has been dismissed,” Piper spoke still pretending to read her book. Several minuets past and most of the maids had began to nervously fidget. All but one, the youngest of the group, stood with her chin digging into to her chest trying her best to hide a smile.

  “You,” Piper pointed at her “Are my new and only maid. The rest of you may leave and I don’t expect to see you tomorrow,” Piper announced closing her book and rising from the bed,

  “With all due respect Miss Piper, the Alpha gave Mistress Sophie control over the running of his household and you hold no titles here,” the head maid responded. Pipers wolf stirred and the colour drained from Pipers eyes,

  “No titles Omega?” Piper pondered tapping her finger tips on her lower jaw “Hmm, who is my father?” she asked her silver eyes glistening,

  “Alpha Tom of the Silver pack,” she replied looking towards the ground,

  “Ah, and who am I,” Piper’s voice rang with authority,

  “Phillipa James, daughter of Alpha Tom and mate to Alpha Porter,” the head maid replied failing to her knees her head almost touching the floor.

  “Get out,” Piper whispered. Once they were out of they were out of her sight Piper’s eyes returned back to their normal state and she turned her attention to the young maid. “What is your name?” she asked calmly,

  “Rose, Miss Piper,” she replied with her head down,

  “It is nice to meet you Rose. I am hoping you will agree to be my personal assistant. You could have a room in my hall, you would be expected to clean my room occasionally, prepare and serve all my meals and generally organise my schedule. All I require is that everything we does not get back to Mistress Sophie. You would be my ally and if you betray me there will be dire consequence. My wolf would have permission to deal with you. You may decline my offer if you don’t think you’re up to the challenge. I will do my best but I cannot ensure your safety,” Piper explained honestly,

  “May I speak honestly Miss Piper,” Rose timidly asked. Piper nodded her head once “Nothing would make me happier than you become our Luna. I would gladly serve you,” the two women smiled at each other shaking hands

Sophie and Piper sat at either side of Porter as all the ranking members of the pack ate dinner together. Piper and Rose nodded at each other as she placed her plate in front of her and waited against the wall behind her. Sophie wickedly smiled,

  “Omega,” she called waving Rose towards the table “I am almost certain it is not your allocated role to wait on Miss Sophie hand and foot. Did you not notice the Alpha has an empty glass? Are you too good to serve the Alpha?” she asked. Everybody at the table froze falling completely silent mid conversation. Piper calmly continued eating a Rose quickly filled Porter’s glass her hand shaking.

  “Actually, Mistress Sophie, that is her role,” Piper responded “earlier today I gave Rose a new role,” she explained taking a sip of wine “you should organise your staff better,” she mumbled under her breath,
