My Mate’s Mistress and I

First Impressions

Ravenous, the twins fought to get through the restaurant door. The hostess paid them no mind as this was a regular occurrence. Phillip crushed Piper against the frame with his heavy muscular build, laughing as he winded his slimmer sister. Entering the small dining room Piper sat facing the door and pressed her waist length black hair flat against the back of her neck. She had barely slept the night before too anxious for today’s festivities.  They only had an hour of free time before they had to be back at the pack house. Their farther, the Alpha, had invited several other Alpha’s to the twins eighteenth birthday party. Piper had convinced her brother to sneak out and enjoy their birthday together for perhaps the last time. She feared her farther had ulterior motives and one of these Alpha’s would offer her a proposal.

Their pack had suffered many attacks since their thirteenth birthday. Many curious Alpha’s and rogues were intrigued by the twin’s strange wolves and wished to capture and absorb them for themselves. Piper viciously bit her lip, her thoughts leading her down a dark path. After their mother had disappeared after a rouge attack the twins farther did not show much paternal affection for them. Perhaps it is because they looked so much like their mother with jet black hair, heart shaped faces and bright golden eyes.

Noticing her sullen mood Phillip lightly punched his sister on the shoulder,

   “Let’s not worry until something actually happens,” he suggested pretending to busy himself with reading the menu,

   “Phillip promise me… if something happens to me give my wolf to your first-born,” she replied grasping his hands “Promise,” she pleaded. Phillip looked her in the eyes and solemnly nodded his head.

   “Now can we please try to enjoy our birthday?” He asked pinning a small birthday girl badge to the collar of her denim jacket. Piper replied with a smile and ordered two slices of cake for their starter.

In high spirits they returned to the pack house where they were each sent to their rooms to prepare. Piper got out the shower to find a navy-blue backless gown waiting on her bed. Beside it a jewellery box with a large red bow. Surprised she opened it to find her mothers tennis bracelet. Thoughts of who had gifted it to her plagued her mind as she readied her makeup. Piper pinned her hair up ensuring her entire back was on show, she knew her farther would request an appearance from her wolf tonight and at full size the only place her wolf could come out was from her back. She left her room to find her brother pacing in a matching blue suit up and down their corridor. Hugging him tightly she calmed him down and linked their arms together to join the party outside. The twins were dazzling, as they descended the large patio stairs many of the guests gasped having never seen them before. Phillip smiled down at the crowds making some of the Alphas daughters swoon. He was giddy at the prospects of choosing one of them to bed tonight. Piper had been looking forward to playing a game of cat and mouse with Seth, a neighbouring Alpha’s son. However now she was in no mood to play to the crowds; she had an odd feeling in the pit of her stomach. Restless her wolf scraped against her back causing her to take the last two steps awkwardly. Her brother frowned at her smoothing a loose strand of hair back into her bun before they became surrounded. Their father was nowhere to be seen as Aunt Maura introduced them to the many unfamiliar faces. Actual pack members were asked to hang back. Spotting a friend Piper politely maneuvered away from the small but was quickly accosted as her Aunt grabbed tightly onto her wrist. As they exchanged glare the feeling in her stomach intensified and the crowd seem part as a magnificent figure stormed towards her. Maura smiled brightly and attempted to introduce the two,

   “Alpha Porter let me introduce to my wonderful niece,” she offered pushing Piper towards him. Behaving as if they were the only two in the garden, Porter ignored Maura and gently clasped his hand around Pipers neck, the other secured against the back of her head underneath the bun, and inspected her face with a frown. As their skin made contact Piper stopped breathing, heat washed over her, and she did not know what to do with herself. He domineered over Pipers small frame at the of 6”6 to her average 5”6, his emerald green eyes portrayed no emotion. His body was extremely tense, his bulging muscles threatening the seams of his grey tailored suit. His wolf howled in delight and his lips could not help but betray him in displaying a hint a happiness. Porter broke their gaze letting his eyes graze over her well formed body. He bit his plump bottom lip at the swell of her breasts and his hand unconsciously followed the curve of her waist to her wide hips. Phillip finally broke their haze,

   “Perhaps you should analyse one another after the party,” he whispered tucking his sister behind his back. Overwhelmingly embarrassed Piper hid her head between his shoulder blades. Porter put out his hand towards Phillip,

   “I understand you are the future Alpha of this pack,” he stated. Phillip accepted the handshake and nodded his head with a pout. Piper now in control of herself stood beside her brother. “We should have a formal meeting to iron out the details of our alliance. Your sister is my mate and I’ll be taking her home shortly,” he announced loud enough for the small crowd to hear. A few people sighed utterly disappointed; Seth even left the party altogether. Maura almost jumped with glee.

   “Even more reason to celebrate,” she declared “I shall go find your father and tell him the good news,” she continued before rushing off to find him. Piper had not registered these odd feeling with finding her fated mate but then again, her wolf did not work in the same as others. She knew once her wolf was released it would fight to get to Porter and her wolf had never been so drawn to any before. A woman, that no one had noticed before due to the new mate’s outrageous introduction, oddly chose this time to wrap her stick thin arm around Porter’s giant bicep. Her fingers gently stroked his arm confirming that they were definitely not related. Porter made no move to disengage the mystery woman from his arm. Pipers mouth dropped opened in disbelief as she put two and two together.

   “I will not be second to your mistress,” she spat getting even angrier as she did not even know her mates name. This mistress knew she was gravely insulting her new Luna and it had not gone unnoticed by the small crowd of high-ranking members. Porter continued to allow Sophie to caress him publicly. Phillip was also in disbelief,

   “There will be no alliance if you chose to disrespect my sister,” he threatened,

   “Let us wait for your father to make the really important decisions pup,” Porter replied signalling a waiter over. Deflated, Piper left the odd group. As she looked further down into garden, Piper was delighted to see they had already started celebrating. Unconsciously, Porter gravitated towards his mate, so she was always in his eyesight. He was not happy to have a mate, especially as he was trying ruthlessly to expand his already incredibly large pack. However, he could not deny she was beautiful as she floated threw her pack. He wanted to speak to her father as soon as possible so he could take his mate home. Just like everyone else he was desperate to see the twin’s wolves. There were rumours they were of an entirely different species, cursed or created with the help of witches, blessed by the moon goddess… there were many different theories. Surely this would give Porter another advantage during his negotiations. People did not fear her yet, he would definitely have to change this perception of her.

Quiet fell over the party as the twin’s father finally decided to make an appearance. After Maura informed Alpha Tom that his daughter had found his mate he had flown into rage and destroyed his office. The twin’s strange wolves were the only unique and alluring quality his pack had to offer, now this spectacle would be halved and used by another, better pack. There were many rumours about the young Alpha Porter. The quality of his leadership was undeniable, but his personal tastes were borderline disturbing. Piper would not adjust well to his way of life, not that Alpha Tom cared much about his daughter’s feelings.

   “Thank you all for joining me to celebrate my children’s birthday,” he breathed with sarcasm. The twins made their way to the bottom of the patio steps and kneeled in front of their father. “My beloved daughter” he spat “Found her fated mate tonight. The thought of her leaving so soon saddens me, let us make this celebration extra special,” he finished tiredly raising his champagne flute to his lips ending the toast.

Phillip wished to run with his sister, as full members of the pack one last time. He rose from the floor dragging his sister up with him. The pack members sensing the release of the twin’s wolves crept closer and began to disrobe. Piper stretched her back while Phillip took of his shirt and blazer. There wolves appeared as large surreal images on their back as they began to tear threw their skin. The non pack membered guest were memorised, frozen with fear. They bowed their heads fighting not to show their necks in submission. Porter finally pushed Sophie away from him and drifted towards his mate. Piper’s wolf, considerably smaller than her brothers, stepped out of her back with an earth-shattering howl. Phillips wolf, around three times larger, rubbed its head against his sisters’ wolf before nudging it towards its mate. Most of the pack member had now shifted eagerly awaiting the twins to begin the run. Porter reached his hand out to touch the wolf before his own took over his body and shifted. Piper quickly pulled her wolf back towards her glaring at Porter. Porter gasped, Pipers once jet black had fallen out of the intricate bun and turned completely white, her golden eyes where now silver. He watched frozen in his place as she climbed onto her wolf and followed her brother into the woods with her pack members.
