Piper stirred in her sleep; her hand roamed through the sheets searching hungrily for Porter. Her wolf yearned for him making Piper moan deeply as they remembered what they did last night. Suddenly, the maids pounded their fists against the door startling her awake fully. Piper groaned inwardly as they opened the curtains and picked some clothes from the closet. Before they could touch her, Piper crawled out of bed. As her legs opened and her feet fell to the ground she sighed in pain. Perhaps even a little residing pleasure. The maids watched her carefully. One threw the sheets back and gasped as they witnessed the stained sheets. Oblivious, Piper stared miserably at her gaping wound, to begin the healing process Porters wolf must lick it but still for the rest of her life she would carry on her delicate wrist a huge scar. She sharply sucked air through her teeth as it began to ooze with blood again and threw her head back onto the bed.
Jacob, who had been waiting patiently for her to get ready, greeted his Luna as the maids opened the door for her. He bowed his head,
“Good afternoon, Luna Piper,” he declared his eyes immediately going to her wrist “Please follow me to the Alpha’s office,” he added turning away quickly to hide his anger. He had come admire the Luna, very often volunteering to guard her in an effort to protect her from her cruel mate. Jacob could not understand why she would submit to the mate bond but would never disrespect the Luna by telling her so.
As they settled in Porter’s office a timid maid knocked and popped her head inside the door,
“Luna Piper, mistress Sophie wishes to speak with you,” she almost whispered. Piper quickly stood up and positioned herself in front of the desk.
“Good afternoon, Mistress Sophie, what exactly can I help you with?” Piper asked tiredly. Sophie stalked towards Piper wearing a wild grin, she was still dressed in her canary yellow satin pyjamas, her unkempt and an unusually bare face. She paused for a moment, fooling no one, before launching herself at Piper her hands aiming for her face. Jacob caught Sophie and lightly pinned her to the floor as she screamed a clawed at his face, tearing the skin around his eyes with her acrylics. Piper folded her arms, she ignored Sophie and looked straight ahead at the maid,
“Bring a breakfast tray for two please,” she ordered. The maid rung her hands and looked to the floor, “perchance you did not hear me?” she asked, her temper flaring as her Wolf pressed against the skin of her back itching to get out. The maid now bowed her head low flinching as Sophie continued to sporadically scream and fight against Jacob,
“I am only to follow Sophie’s orders. If not she will punish me,” she stuttered in reply. Piper tilted her head towards her shoulder. She was at the end of her tether with these disrespectful maids. Pushing her bottom lip out she asked,
“My apologies omega, do you fear the screaming wench laying on the floor right now?” Pipers eyes were flashing between silver and flaming brown. Her authority thickened the air, it weighed heavily against everyone’s skin finally quieting Sophie “go now and do as I asked,” she declared sternly sending the maid flying out the office and towards the kitchen.
Jacob unpinned Sophie from the floor and brought them both to stand, keeping his hand tight around her wrist,
“He will never be yours. After he left your bed this morning, he ran straight back into ours,” she cried wiping her nose with her wrist.
“How do I taste?” Piper asked with a hysterical laugh, she leant heavily against the desk and placed her head in her hands. Now that she was relatively calm again the sting of the bite plagued her. Silencing Sophies not so clever reply Porter stormed into his office wearing a tired glare. With a nod of his head, he sent Jacob out the room and sat at his desk without acknowledging either woman. Rubbing his temples he sighed, conflicted, his two favourite women brought him so much drama but his love for them left him unequipped to deal with it. His bite wound was also troubling him, he could not afford to be weak right now but had too much pride to ask to be healed. Piper turned around to face him biting her lip, the very lip he had tasted last night, amongst other lips. He pouted angrily as his jeans strained against his protruding crotch. He cursed inwardly.
“Sophie, what did I say to you this morning?” he asked still not looking at her. Piper’s eyes turned a hollow grey, her wolf was yet to calm down from earlier and was now fighting to be let free. Sensing his mate’s sorrow, Porter glanced at Piper with his mouth set firm. He could feel her wolf calling to him and was momentarily distracted as he bore into Pipers eyes, hypnotised.
“Why aren’t you listening to me?” Sophie shouted stomping her foot. Porter finally looked at her,
“Get out I will deal with you later,” he said turning his attention back to Piper, her hollow eyes triggering his wolf. He licked his lips and his eyes turned black with lust. Sophie still had not left. Tears streamed down her face,
“That’s what you said this morning,” she cried. Piper sighed with relief, her wolf calmed down and her eyes turned back to a warm brown.
“Get out Sophie or so help me!” Porter bellowed compelling her to leave “and you” he shouted at Piper pushing her against the wall by the elbows, making sure to press his rock had p***s firmly against her “Don’t think you have won anything little mate. You thought because you were a nice lay I would…”
“You summoned me here Porter I was content in my room. Why don’t you use the b***r I have given you to f**k your mistress” Piper suggested bitterly. Enraged Porter wrapped his hands around Porter’s throat, now they were bonded his wolf prevented him bashing her head against the wall until she was unconscious. Frustrated he punched a hole in the wall at the side of head and left completely forgetting what exactly he had summoned her for.
Unfortunately for Porter, Sophie was not, and never again would be, a satisfying replacment for his mate.
