Mato looks up at Zoe with hate in her eyes, but before she could stand up to bite her. Lazer is standing in front of her, growling. Mato rolls her eyes and stands up to walk away, but before she can, she smells something familiar, and runs to the window. She looks out it to see a pack of wolves walking on the edge of a nearby forest.
*Why the hell are they in this area?* Mato questions as her eyes narrow. Lazer looks over towards her with confusion.
*What?* He asks. Mato jumps when he walks up behind her, startling her.
*See those wolves?* Mato questions. Lazer looks out the window at the pack, and looks at Mato when she sighs.
*Those wolves are not of this area.* Lazer says, looking confused.
*No...they're not.* Mato sighs. *That's my pack.* She explains when Lazer looks at her with a how-the-fuck-do-you-know look. She walks away before Lazer could say anything else. She turns towards the door when she hears someone walking towards it. When it opens, she practically runs the person in the doorway over to get out. She hears Zoe yelling for her to get back to the house, but she just ignores it. Her complete attention is on getting her teeth into her brother's hide. She runs up to the huge gate, and growls. *Where are you brother!* The whole pack follows a silver wolf with black paws as he walks over to Mato. The wolf walks up the gate.
*Well...* The wolf laughs. *Look at what you got yourself into this time.* He says. Mato growls, and slams into the gate, fangs barred.
*Why the hell have you brought the pack to this part of the country? Are you asking for a death wish?* Mato questions the other wolf. He merely stares at her, eyes narrowing.
*You have absolutely no right to question what I do as the pack leader. You aren't even part of the pack anymore. In fact...* He looks pointedly at the collar around Mato's neck. *You aren't even a true wolf anymore.* He says, sounding smug.
*Shut up!* Mato yells, glaring at him. Mitch clicks his teeth at together, and Mato backs off a few steps.
*You have no right to tell me what to do.* Mitch says, anger vibrating through his whole body.
*I think the power has gone to your head!* Mato says with a sneer as she looks at her brother. Mitch smiles, and walks away.
*Good to see you again, little sis. Hope you like your new life.* Mitch says as he turns his back on her. She stares daggers at her brother's back until she can't see him anymore, in which case, she lays down on the grass next to the gate.
Meanwhile, Lazer is watching the whole scene unfold from a window. He watches as, to his surprise, Mato actually backed down at one point. Through the whole conversation between the siblings, there had been a male-wolf that had been staring at Mato in a way that mad the jealously in his system boil.
*Mine! You can't have her!* Lazer growls at the other wolf even though he knew that the wolf wouldn't hear him. He then watches as the pack leaves, and Mato lays down next to the gate. He walks to the door where Anika, a friend of Zoe's is sitting with an ice pack against her forehead where she had hit her head when Mato had plowed past her. He walks out the door, and towards Mato.
Meanwhile, Mato is sitting on the grass, thinking about what Mitch had said.
*Maybe he's right...maybe I am a disgrace...* She mumbles to herself as she stares out towards the woods. She hears Lazer walk up next to her.
*You aren't a disgrace to anything.* Lazer says, looking down at her. Her ears perk forward as she turns her head to the side to see Lazer standing a few feet away from her. She puts her ears flat against her head as a tear falls down her face. She whines.
*But I really am! I let myself get captured...* Mato says, sounding absolutely miserable.
