Mate

Sophie's Point Of View.

After the party, I resumed my cleaning duty the next day. 

I became exhausted.

Helena was making my life hell by giving me plenty of work to do.

"You've done enough for today, go to your room. I'll find someone else to replace you." Annabelle said and patted my back. 

I felt so relieved after she dismissed me. I trudged to my room, tired and worn out.

I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being followed, but I was too exhausted to look back.

I entered my room and was about to shut it behind me when it was pushed back.

"Hey, girl." Marcus pushed the door and forced his way in, shutting the door behind him. 

"What do you want?" 

I asked bluntly.

"I saw the way you were staring at me when I just arrived here. You want me, don't you" He bragged.

"I guess you got it all wrong, I don't want you. Please leave me the heck alone, I need to rest." I spoke rudely. 

He pushed me on the bed and climbed on top of me, cuffing my hands over my head and tied it.

"What the fuck are you doing?" I exclaimed, tears forming rapidly behind my eyeballs.

I lay on the bed with my hands tied, crying, sweating, and scared to death. Praying for someone to save me.

He unzipped his pants, threw his waist-belt away, and then leaned in closer to me with an evil grin "Do you still want to know what I want now?" 

 His arms grabbed my breast, and he sucked my nipples, making me moan against my wish.

 "I want you, and I must have you."

He was about to take off my panties when Annabelle barged into the room and stopped him from his act. 

I was so grateful to Annabelle after he left. The moon goddess did not abandon me as I assumed.

********

The weeks went by with Annabelle protecting me from Marcus advances and Helena's wicked act of torturing me.

Lottana called all his concubines for a meeting. 

I wondered if I should attend because he has not once touched me. 

And I do more work as a maid than what Annabelle and Helena do as concubines.

"Everyone listen up! My first son and Alpha of the blood moon pack, Nathan, is coming to find a mate in this pack. We shall hold a party right here in the mansion for him." Lottana declared.

"Helena would be responsible for selecting the maids that would work at the party. Annabelle would be responsible for the preparations, while Sophie would arrange beautiful, strong, and capable wolves that are fit to be my son's Luna and mate." He informed us and left.

I was stunned. "Did he just give me a befitting role to carry out?".

"Congratulations to you Sophie." Annabelle patted my back and left to start up her task. 

I was left alone with Helena who glared at me with anger written all over her face.

"Don't you dare think you're important to him? He only offered you the task because you're the late Alpha's daughter, and you've been in this pack and know all the ladies." Helena mocked my little victory.

I ignored her. I'm not concerned about the reason Lottana gave me this task.

 I was only happy that I wouldn't be working so hard as a maid at the party as I did at Marcus's welcoming party.

Preparation started in earnest for Alpha's Nathan's visit. 

I was allowed to visit my mother for this task. I needed her to help me ensure that all selected female werewolves were available on that day.

It wouldn't have been easy for me to command their respect and achieve that, knowing I am the most disrespected and humiliated member of the pack due to my woofless state.

A day before Alpha Nathan's scheduled visitation. Annabelle and I had some spare time to chat after finishing our task for the day.

"Have you met Lottana first son yet?" I asked her. 

I have been very curious about Nathan and was wondering if he is the same as his father and brother in character.

Annabelle sighed deeply before answering. "No, I haven't. But I heard that he is a billionaire, very hot and handsome with a body to die for."

"If he's all that, why does he need to find his mate here in the full moon pack? I heard the blood moon pack and other packs have much stronger and more beautiful females than us.' I was more curious about the reason for Alpha Nathan's visit. 

"I don't have an answer to that Sophie. I guess we will find out when he arrives tomorrow. I need to rest, tomorrow is a long day." Annabelle replied and left for her room.

I also went to my room in the maid's quarter, still thinking of the real reason for Alpha's Nathan's visit.

 It just doesn't make sense to me. I felt there was something more fishy going on.

 I also hoped he wouldn't end up being like his promiscuous father and half-brother.

******

The next morning, I woke up anticipating the adventures of the day. 

"I look good and perfect.

I'm the most adorable creature on Earth." I admire myself in the mirror just beside my cupboard. 

I had gotten up very early, not that I wanted to, but I would rather not face Lottana or Helena troubles.

After a few more admirations in the mirror. 

 I stepped out of my room. 

The hallway was quiet and empty. 

I got scared at first, but when I began to hear murmurs coming from the living room.

I felt at ease and motioned towards the living room.

What the hell is going on here? I saw Annabelle and Helena standing like they always do when they want to welcome a visitor.

"You are late," Annabelle whispered to me as I joined her where she was standing. Alpha Nathan is here.

Before I could respond, Lottana came in with his son Nathan, and we all bowed to greet them both. 

Lottana introduced us as his concubines when my head was still bowed in greeting.

Nathan tilted his head to see whom his father pointed to. He made eye contact with me and I nearly shifted my pants. 

For some reason, I don't know, my heart thumped loudly as they met him.

"MATE."

We both said, and his eyes suddenly turned cold as he glared at me with anger and displeasure written all over him.
