Last of her Pack

Chapter 15

*ATTENTION. Some mild language in this chapter. Yes there are swears in other chapters, but this is language I don't normally use.*

I finished talking to Stella after Mateo went upstairs. I heard the shower running, so I thought I would surprise him. I put my now empty cup in the sink, before ascending the stairs. I made my way to our room, slowly stripping as I went. I plopped my clothes in the laundry basket, then headed for the bathroom. Once in there I couldn't help but notice that Mateo was actually relaxing in the tub, not showering. He had his eyes closed, but he still had wrinkles in his forehead, like he was worried about something. I still joined him anyway, purposefully resting in between his legs, while leaning my back against his chest. 

Not long after, Mateo wrapped his arms around my waist while also sighing in content. I could feel him fully relax behind me, so I knew this was a great idea. We sat in silence, enjoying the peace with each other. But that peace was ruined when the door bell rang throughout the house. This made me furious. I got out of the tub faster than Mateo, wrapping myself in a towel. I stormed down to the front door, flinging the door open. 

There in the door stood a female version of Mateo, but she had blue eyes. "May I help you?" I growled out. The woman didn't say anything, she just stepped into the house and walked into the kitchen. "Sure, just come right in." I slammed the door then walked to the laundry room. While I was in the laundry room, I grabbed a set of clean clothes and got changed. I slipped on my undergarments, a pair of Mateo's sweats, and one of my dads shirts. I then found the brush I was hiding and brushed my hair, before throwing it up into a messy bun. After I was some what presentable, I walked out, heading for the kitchen. 

Once I was there, I sat at the island, staring daggers into the woman's head as she casually sat at the table. Finally Mateo walked down the stairs, only to stop in his tracks. He looked at the woman, and then at me with confusion in his eyes. He walked over to me, keeping his distance from the woman as well. Mateo wrapped his arms around my waist, then addressed the woman sitting at our table. 

"What are you doing here mother?" I stared wide eyed. This woman was his mother? How did it not click. And as if she heard my thoughts, she turned around, only to glare at me. "This girl that you brought home for fun, needs to taught some manners Mateo." What! How dare she. I started to open my mouth to say something, but Mateo beat me to it. 

"Watch your tongue mom. She is your Alpha Female." He growled out as his grip tighten around my waist. His mother basically screamed in horror at the news.  She pointed at me while screaming "Your telling me that that this pack slut is the LUNA! Mateo, I taught you better than to choose someone so low!" Then everything went quiet. I sat in my seat calmly, knowing that this situation was not one to be dealt with lightly. Mateo even stood silent, glaring daggers at his mother, while she stood with a smug look on her face. 

I slowly stood up, and the air in the room turned to a deathly quiet. I took my hair out of its bun, while also stepping out of Mateo's hold. I went to sit at the head of the table, folding my hands on top. I heard Mateo mumble and "Oh no," while sitting down in my now vacant island seat. I took a deep breath, before snapping my eyes of blue and gold at Mateo's mother. 

"Have a seat Vivian. Class is now in session." She looked at me surprised, but still took a seat at the table. I smirked, because this was going to be fun. 

"You don't know me, but you knew my parents. You went into there home, and took everything. My first day here, I found my mothers jewelry box, and washed my parents clothes. Your son wears a ring on a chain around his neck, that belonged to my father. And not to long ago, I buried my last living family member. My name is Heather Marie Cygnus. I was five when my parents were killed by one of there own. My uncle was Alpha Rusty Chester, he had no mate and no children. But he named me his heir of Eridanus Pack. I am the first Alpha Female of my pack, and I am the Alpha Female here, not the Luna. At this time, my pack land is being rebuilt on, so one day, people can live there again. So don't go calling me a slut, when you are the real one who committed a crime. You stole from me Vivian. You were not family, you were not next of kin, I was, and you stole from me. So get your fucking shit together, and show some goddamn respect, because I have done nothing to you." I said with a straight face and calm demeanor. 

I then got out of my seat, walked over to Mateo, gave him a kiss on the cheek, then headed upstairs. I didn't head to our room, instead I went into the room across the hall. I was working on a project in there, so that is where I would be while Mateo talked to his deranged mother.

Once I shut the door behind me, I let my worries drift away. I switched out of my clean clothes, to my painting clothes. It was the shirt my dad wore when he painted and just a pair of plain black shorts. I then climbed onto the scaffolding that I had set up, opened the paint can of glow in the dark peacock blue and got work. I was painting the night sky of that fateful day, and I was on the last constellation. Once that was finished, I decided to start on the vines that would crawl down corners of the wall. I had chosen to do the leaves in the same pattern as my mark. But each corner would alternate, so it would go sun, moon, sun, moon. 

I spend hours painting. Humming my own tune, not even caring what hour it was. I was in my own world, happily creating something that I could be proud of. I had been working on this ever since my gramps died. And now, I was finally done the painting. Now I can start to bring the furniture in once the paint was all dry. I closed all the paint cans, threw out my paint brushes, and took the scaffolding down. I then laid in the middle of the floor, admiring my work. I smiled to my self, knowing that all my hard work will one day be admired my kids that will sleep in here. 

A knock sounded on the door, but I didn't answer. It opened anyway, and I knew it was Mateo. I closed my eyes, basking in the glory of relaxation. Mateo stepped into the room and I heard a gasp escape his tender lips. "Wow hon, this looks amazing." He said. I could hear the wonder and pride in his voice. It made my swell among other things. 

Suddenly I felt a body press on top of mine. I felt hot breath on my neck, as a voice sounded in my ear. "I should take you to bed so you can be properly punished." I could hear the teasing in his voice, as I knew what he was planning to do to me for punishment. 

"Then take me away sir. I have been nothing but bad." I said in reply. Mateo's jade eyes went instantly darker. He swooped me off the floor, ran across the hall and threw me on the bed. 

This was going to be a super long night. I can't wait.
