My Mate/My PA

Devon

I knew I had a new PA starting today but what I had not expected was her scent to hit me full force as the doors to the elevator opened. Her intoxicating scent of coffee and coconut invaded my senses causing my wolf, Domnik, to lose his fucking mind. Honestly, I was slightly losing my mind right along with him. It reminded me of when I first caught her scent. Kaleb, my beta and Nash, my Gamma were beside me when I caught her scent and saw her sitting there. She was drinking coffee while reading something on her phone. She was breathtakingly beautiful causing me to stare at her. She must have felt my eyes on her because she picked her head up to look around. As soon as our eyes locked, I knew at once she was my mate. There was something about her that seemed familiar. I couldn’t think of where or when I had possibly seen her. Her scent was also familiar to me. Two younger girls came out, their arms loaded with pastries making me chuckle. They sat with her, and one placed a couple of pastries in front of my mate. This confused me as she did not look old enough to have children their age. They had to be around 13 or so. Domnik was angered by this. He was pissed that she may have children with someone else. I could feel my anger growing as well. Relief flooded over Domnik and me when one of the girls called her sister. I could see the resemblance between them once I looked closer. The other girl must be a relative as well, but she looked nothing like my mate and her sister. I smiled when she stood up. She was short, around 5 ’4”. Her long pale caramel brown hair with white blonde and a pale fiery red high and low lights cascaded down her back almost touching her ass. Her eyes were dark forest green which faded to a hazel color near the center. I had seen those eyes before, but I could not remember where. She reminded me of one of the men that I had seen as I had grown up. She had curves in all the right places. Everything about her was perfect. I let out a grunt when Nash shoulder checked me. I glared at him which caused him to laugh. I could tell him, and Kaleb wondered why I was lost in my own world. I glanced back across the street and said MATE. I knew Kaleb was irritated once he heard me say this. The look he shot me told me this. His mate’s scent had been floating around the pack lands and city since we were young. He first caught her scent when we were around five or so which no one expected, nor could they explain why he was able to catch her scent being that young. Normally we could not catch the scent of our mate until we gained our wolf when we turned 18. I knew finding my mate was just another punch in the gut to him since he had been chasing her around for so fucking long. I could see the frustration and hurt in his eyes. I told him we would find her soon and for some reason I knew it was true. I just felt that she would soon appear. I am not sure if he believed me, but he nodded as we walked across the street. With one last look I walked away from her. We had to get back to the pack. I wanted nothing more than to follow her but not today. Soon, that was all I could think. I had no idea that soon would mean today at work.

“Mr. Erickston are you okay?” Mykayla asked.

“Yes, sorry I was thinking of something that happened yesterday. I promise I do not zone out like that often.” I answered.

"It is fine. I was worried that something might be wrong. I had heard a couple people talking this morning that the flu was starting to make its rounds. I guess a couple other employees have caught it." Mykayla explained.

I had heard that as well. It is getting to be that time of year here. Thankfully wolves do not get sick often. It can happen but it is rare. It made me smile to know that she was worried about me. When she asked for my phone, I raised an eyebrow at her until she explained why. Damn, that did make sense as did the request for access to my computer. I could tell she was going to be a fantastic PA. However, working with her in these close quarters was going to be a test of my patience and willpower. Her scent was thick in the air making it hard for me to think. Domnik had rolled on his back in our shared head space. His tongue was hanging out of his mouth. He was just as drunk on her scent as I was. I thought her eyes were going to fucking pop out of her head when she says the pile of shit behind me. I had found several filing cabinets shoved in the closet that my dad had stored shit in. I am not sure why he had kept it or if it needed to be kept, but until we got it sorted and had whichever department decided it was important or not, I had to keep it. I had managed to get through a decent amount of it, but this was what was left, and it was a daunting challenge. I could feel the rise in her anxiety as she started at the pile. I am sure I saw her left eye start twitching as she stood there staring at it. She had returned to her office after a few minutes. I reclined in my chair which was leaning against my desk before linking Kaleb and Nash.

{The two of you aren’t going to believe this but my new PA is my fucking mate we saw at that cafe the other day. Me}

{You are a fucking lucky ass bastard. Nash}

{I really want to be pissed at you right now, but I am happy for you man. Kaleb}

{Do not give up. I have a strong feeling that you will find your mate soon. Me}

{I agree with Devon. I also have a strong feeling that you will find your mate soon. The fact that her scent has been around more has to mean something. Nash}

{Nash is right. You know I can tell when shit is going to happen. Heads up the Rock Goddesses are coming to town. I am sure Zyhrya, Bohdi and Minerva are going to want to go to that concert. Me}

{I am sure they will. Hell, I want to hit that concert. I hear those concerts are fucking out of this world. Not to mention those two women are sexy as fuck. Nash}

{I’ll give Takis and Donte a call. They seem to be able to get their hands on shit that is damn near impossible to get. From what I hear their concerts sell out within minutes and the tickets aren’t cheap. Not that money really matters to us. Kaleb}

{See if they could get us twelve tickets. Me}

{Why so many? Kaleb} 

{I could invite Mykayla and the two girls she was with. I am positive one of them is her sister. The other is a relative, but I am not sure how they are related. I know besides the three of us and the three kids, Asher and Brentley will want to go. I can also guarantee Netaeylae will want to go as well. So that’s the five of us, the three kids, Netaeylae along with Mykayla and the two other girls. That makes twelve. Me}

{You might want to get thirteen tickets. If Naemyrae finds out that you did not get her a ticket she will turn you into a slug or something. Nash}

{Shit I forgot about her. Yeah, better make it thirteen. Me}

{I will see what I can do. Kaleb}

They had taken the music world by storm two years ago. I had not been able to see them in concert but everyone that I knew that had gone to one of their concerts had said it was the best concert they had ever seen. Most of our pack members had seen them and they said that whoever the two women are they were definitely some sort of supernatural, but they could not catch a scent from either of them. Which is strange since every supernatural has a scent. I returned to work when I really wanted to walk over to Mykayla’s office and talk with her. I did just that when I was ready to meet Kaleb and Nash at our favorite restaurant for lunch. I knocked on the open door. I smirked when she jumped a little. I hadn’t meant to scare her, but she was lost in her work and did not know I was there until I knocked.

“I am headed to a lunch meeting. I did not mean to scare you, but you seemed lost in your work, and I did not want you to go without eating.” I told her.

“Thank you. I did not realize it was lunch time.” she replied.

I smiled at her as I left. I hated leaving her and Domnik was growling at me in our shared head space. He was pacing and growling as I climbed into my car and pulled out of the parking lot.

[Go back to our mate. We can have lunch with her. Domnik]

[Next time, I told you we were going to have to take it slowly with her. She is human and has no idea about our world. Me]

[I don’t like leaving her alone. To many unmated males around. We can have lunch with those two anytime. Domnik]

[She will be fine. I have a feeling that she isn’t leaving our floor. I bet she will eat her lunch in her office. Me]

He was still grumbling as I stepped into the restaurant. The host looked at me up and down as a sultry smirk spread across her face. I will admit that she is pretty, but she isn’t near as gorgeous as my little mate. I told her not to worry. I knew exactly where Kaleb and Nash were. We sat at the same table every time we came here which was more than we should.

“Well, how is your day going so far?” Kaleb asked.

“It has gone well. No, we haven’t mated and marked. She is fucking human, and I am not telling her about our world at work. I do not want her to run screaming from the building or telling me that I am crazy. I plan to speak with my mother and father tonight. I want their opinion on how to go about this. She has been in her office most of the day getting it set up and everything organized. We are tackling the huge pile behind my desk this afternoon which I am not looking forward to. I showed it to her this morning, and I could feel her anxiety rise.” I told them.

“Shit looking at that pile gives me fucking anxiety.” Kaleb pointed out.

He wasn’t wrong, and while he was one of my best friends, Kaleb also had ADD and mild anxiety. Sometimes he has a hard time focusing on shit. The three of us continued to talk about work and shit to do with the pack as we ate. I smiled as I walked into my office. Mykayla was standing there already digging through the pile of papers. I set my keys down on my desk causing her to jump. I apologized for scaring her, but she just waved me off. I jumped in and started to help her with the pile. I noticed her glancing at the wall.

“We should all it a day. It is almost time to go.” she pointed out.

“Yes, I agree. We can return to this tomorrow.” I sighed.

I had been so engrossed in what we were doing that I had not noticed the time. I watched her walk out of my office which was a beautiful sight. Her ass looked amazing in that skirt. I gathered all my shit up as I slipped my jacket back on. I had to adjust myself a bit before walking out. Watching her walk had made my cock begin to harden. I had closed my office door locking it as Mykayla stepped out of hers locking it behind her. The elevator ride was a challenge. It took all my willpower not to grab her and push her against the wall of the elevator slamming my lips onto hers. Having her so close and her scent all around me in a closed space was torture. We walked together to her car. I did not need to as the employee parking lot was enclosed but I wanted to. Her car was parked a few rows down from mine which was going to change. I want her as close to mine as possible and since the spot right beside mine was not in use it would be hers by tomorrow.

“See you tomorrow, Mykayla.” I drawled.

“Yes, see you tomorrow.” She told me.

I watched as a faint blush painted her gorgeous face as she backed out of her parking spot. I watched her until she pulled out of the parking lot and out of sight. I walked to my car linking dad as I climbed in.

{I am on my way back to the pack. I will be stopping by to talk with you and mother. Me}

{Okay, is everything all right? Dad}

{Yes, everything is fine. I need to get mothers and your opinion on something. Me}

{Okay, I will tell your mother that you are stopping by. She is cooking up a storm so be ready to eat. I am not sure if she thought she was going to feed half the damn pack tonight or what. Dad}

I laughed at him as I cut the link. I could hear him telling me to fuck off as the link went quiet. My mother might not be the Luna anymore but that does not stop her acting as if she is and I loved her for this. As usual the traffic was shit and it took me longer than it should to get home. I parked in front of my parents’ house. Once dad inducted me as alpha him and mother had this house built. It was on the other side of the pack closer to the school which meant my younger siblings could walk to school if they wanted to. The front door opened as I went to grab it. I let out a grunt as my younger sister wrapped herself around me like a fucking sloth. Minerva and Bohdi were my fraternal twin siblings. They had turned 13 a few months ago.

“Hey, I am glad to see you to, but can you please let me go.” I told her.

Dad was able to untangle her from me allowing me to walk into the house. Bohdi was standing there as I walked in. We did our usual fist bump as he grabbed Minerva before heading back upstairs. 

Mother was already sitting on the couch as I walked in. I laughed when I saw the heaping plate of food sitting on the table which was in front of the couch where I was going to sit.

“Okay son what is going on?” Dad asked.

“I found my mate, but before you start screaming, she is human.” I told them.

“So, I don’t see a problem. If you tell me, you are going to reject her because she is human, I am going to...” mother growled.

“I am not rejecting her, but I am not sure how to go about this. I don’t want to fuck up when I tell her about our world. This is why I am here. I need help to figure out how to approach her and talk to her about all of this.” I explain.

“I would suggest getting to know her a little more. I would give it a week of getting to know her then slowly start dropping little hints before dropping everything in her lap.” Dad replied.

“I have one other big problem. Mykayla, that is her name, is also my new PA. So, spending time and getting to know her won’t be the issue. Keeping myself and Domnik in check is going to be a bitch.” I admitted

“I think you will be fine. I know you can control yourself and I know Domnik knows better than to force himself on her. Just take things slow.” Dad added.

[They are acting weird. Domnik]

[I noticed that too. It started after I mentioned her name. Me]

[Do you think they know her? Domnik]

[I had no idea how they could. She grew up in New Mexico. Me]

He was not wrong. I saw them link each other as soon as I said her name. I decided to let it go for now. Dad was right. For now, getting to know her and making her feel comfortable around me was the main thing that needed to be done. Hopefully after that I can bring her to the pack and introduce her to my parents and a few others. I need her to be comfortable when I drop the bomb on her that we are werewolves. I said goodbye to my parents and then yelled it up the stairs at my siblings as I left. Mother hated it when I did that.

“Well, how did the talk go?” Kaleb asked.

“Fine dad suggested that I spend the next week getting to know Mykayla better and then slowly drop hints about us. I think maybe bringing her here to meet a few of the others would help as well and then I will drop the bomb.” I told him.

“Sound like a good plan to me. A few of the patrols did let me know that they have seen an increase in those giant ass paw prints. I am not sure why they would be popping up this much and why now. They have also noticed some weird activity associated with the land next to ours.” Nash said.

That land has been abandoned for years. Dad had tried to buy it several times but was told that one member of the original pack that owned the land was still alive, which did not make sense to me. That will have to keep for a different day. Right now, I must figure out how to explain the fucking supernatural world to my human mate.
