The Alpha's Surprising Mate

Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Skyler POV

Zachary and I enterened the house after I annouced our presence here, not that it was nedded since they would have heard and smelled us as we entered.

"Welcome back, son and you too Zachary." Mom said as she apperead from the kitchen.

"Thanks Mrs. Hayland."

"What did I told you? You could just call me by my name, no need to be polite." Mom said smiling.

Zachary grinned sheepishly. "Alright, Mrs.Nicole."

She huffed then puffed her cheeks. "Hey! You can remove the Mrs. its makes me sound old."

I snorted loudly and said bluntly, "But Mom you are in your late thirties so that means you are OLD!", I made sure to emphasize 'old'.

Zachary snickered at that while my Mom looked at me wide eyes. I smiled innocently at her then batted my eyes. "Why do you look so shocked? Is there something wrong?",I then looked at Zachary with feigned puzzlement and asked, "Do you know what's wrong with my OLD mother?"

Zachary just laughed and shrugged. "Who knows? What do you think? She is your mother?"

I hummed thoughtfully then said bluntly, making Zachary smirk in amusment. "May be its OLD age coming to h-", I was cut off as a fist was placed where my head was if I hadn't dodge.

"YOU!" Mom said as she prepared for another punch, "Is that how you treat your mother? By calling her OLD! Oh, Skyler Hayland you are so going to get punished."

I dodge again, grinning like crazy. "No Mom, I only stated the truth about you being OL-", I then ducked as she threw a book at my direction.

She was smiling sweetly, I can almost see the flames in the background and sparks flying at her head as she held a knife that she had brought with her from the kitchen when she had greated them. She then spoke, voice coated with kindness and sweetness it made both Zachary and I shiver slightly. "What was that, my precious? Care to finish that word," she then played with the knife, caressing it like a kitten, making her look like a sadistic psychopath, then looked at them making her smile wider, "If you dare."

I stood frozen looking at her. She really looked like an psycothic serial killer at that moment. I shivered thinking what I should do. The smart thing to do is to apologize to her and taking back what I said about her being old. The stupid thing to do is answer back at her and provoke her. I was weighing my options carefully. I then sighed inwardly. I am not a coward, and bloodly ain't an half-ass, I am not the kind of person to do it half-heartedly and not to finish what I started. Again I curse  my Dad because those are some of the qualities I took from him.

Again I looked at my Mom and prepared myself for a stupid choice, a deathwish. I grinned at Mom, trying not to show my fear. "Oh! You mean that you are sooo OLD?"

Zachary coughed, caught between surprised at my stupidity and the hilariousnes of the conversation. He looked at me that spoke 'You are an Idiot. You really have an deathwish.'

Mom's eye twiched slightly, that was the only thing she did before suddenly she was gone. I backflipped just in time to dodge the knife that would have slashed my chest. She was looking at me, smiling creepily as she advanced. "My dear son, I did warn you. Though I do lovvee you, you need to be punished." She then laughed slightly.

I only looked at her then noticed Zachary was trying to sneak at her back. He caught me looking then gave me a tight nod. I then looked at Mom, slightly pale. "Mom, you have to face the fact that you are not young anymore. That you are old."
