A couple hours pass, and Mato is watching Angel, who had fallen asleep in-between Mato's paws, and smiles.
*She's going to make a beautiful wolf when she's older.* Mitch says as he walks up to the two of them. Mato growls at Mitch, and looks up at him. He walks over to her, and grabs her by the scruff of the neck, dragging her away from Angel.
*Let go!* Mato commands, shaking her head in an attempt to get him off of her. She clicks her teeth together before pulling away from him. *Why the hell did you bring her here anyway?* Mato demands, glaring at her brother.
*Cuz she rightfully belongs to me. You are my bitch, not that house pet of a wolf you've been rolling over to.* Mitch says, his eyes narrowing dangerously. Mato growls, and yelps when he pushes her to the ground. He nips her ear, causing her to instantly go still. *That's better.* Mitch says with a grin in his voice.
*You're nuts if you think I'll ever willingly roll over to you!* Mato growls, glaring at him. Mitch laughs as he gets off her, and pushes her to her feet.
*I have ways of making you listen...oh, that's another reason I brought her here.* Mitch says with a grin on his face. Mato takes a step back.
*You wouldn't!* Mato shouts, shaking her head.
*Try me!* Mitch says, baring his teeth in warning. Mato lays on her stomach, and whines. *You're going to be staying here during the hunt. So, I suggest you behave yourself.* Mitch says, turning toward her. He walks up to Mato, and licks her face. *I'm sure you'll get used to being part of a pack again soon.* Mitch says in a confident voice as he walks away, leaving Mato on the ground.
*What am I supposed to do? If only I could get Angel out of here...* Mato mentally says in a worried voice. She jumps to her feet, and beings to pace. *Yeah! That's what I need to do! I need to get Angel out of here to stop my brother from harming her.* She says in a sure voice before she turns around, and walks toward the den, forming her plan.
A week later, Mato is pregnant with Mitch's pups, walking in a prairie with Angel.
*Do you remember what to do, Angel?* Mato asks, looking at Angel with serious eyes.
*Yes...but mom-* Angel complains, looking at Mato with uncertain eyes.
*No buts! You have to get out of here.* Mato says in a stern voice, looking down at Angel. She looks at the gate that leads to Zoe's house. *Go!* Mato shouts, pushing Angel forward. Angel nods, and runs across the prairie. Mitch, who had been standing nearby, runs toward the direction that Angel had gone, but Mato lunges at him, biting him.
Meanwhile, Angel's running as fast as she can when she hears a crapload of paws hitting the ground behind her. Just before a set of jaws caught her, she gets through the fence. She quickly runs in the house, and hides.
Meanwhile, Mato fall to the ground, severally wounded, and breathing hard. Mitch walks a circle around her while growling.
*You'll pay for your disobedience!* Mitch shouts, eyeing her like prey.
*It doesn't matter what you do to me. I won't let you harm my pups!* Mato shouts as she attempt to get to her feet before yelping in pain, and falling back to the ground. While that happens, the wolves that had gone after Angel come back. Mitch turns to look at them expectantly. Mato slowly changes into her human form.
*Uh...Mitch...* Rudy says, motioning toward Mato. Mitch turns around before swearing. He quickly transforms, and runs to Mato, and picks her up.
