Tormented

The Price of Arrogance

A week later, determined to reach my mulatto, I pushed him to his breaking point; as well as myself. All because........ I did not think first. I called him on the phone. He doesn't answer. My frustration begins mounting. I shoot him a wulf speak "Mulatto can we talk"

I was in the kitchen grabbing something to eat with my in-laws when he wulf spoke to me. Really was not in the mood to talk to him. "I am in the kitchen with Mima and Don. they are talking with me now and then have to go to work soon Is it a pack.matter?"

"Can you please spare me ten minutes? Just to talk." My voice is a little anxious and irritated. Since when does the Alpha have to ask.grrrr

Staying quiet for a moment I sigh before responding "where are you my Alpha"

My Alpha??? My heart lurches. He called me HIS ALPHA. Alejandro has never addressed me this way. I growl to myself responding to him in Wulf Speak "soon as you can..... um, Mulatto?"

"yes Alpha"

Again the dam title between us. I try my best to ignore it "can you tell what it is I have done causing you to shut me out?" but he ignores my question.

"Ten minutes Alpha. Then I have to go to work."

Huffing at his behavior he is so aggravating "alright"

Ending my wulf speak with Ruben Mima turns to me holding the Tupperware container with my lunch inside of it. Don Yonell sitting at the table hunched over his cup of coffee. Was looking at me when I entered about to say something.

But, fully aware of what is happening with my relationship, glances her way. meeting his glance, she nods to him. From the way, they looked at one another. I could tell this was one of those "Luna, can we talk for a moment?" nods. I will never disrespect my elders. but judging by their look, the topic was 'RUBEN' and I really did not want to talk about my love life. Least of all with my in-laws or mother.

Attempting to get out of it I throw in my pending conversation with my mate "Don I have to meet Alpha, he wants to talk with me. Sorry, can we do it when I come home?" Knowing I would duck them when I got home. A look from him tells me 'No' and my body language tells him I resigned to what is to come (here we go) "let's step outside Luna for a moment."

Rising from where he sat, Don Yonell heads to the back patio thru the kitchen door with me following him. Stepping outside, I am greeted by my aunt and uncle, their steely gaze appraising me. This is not good. Suddenly I feel like I am on a drug television program having some sort of damned intervention. A groan escapes me, Uncle Belie and Don Yonell ignore it. But the same cannot be said about tia waka (auntie), Delta Carmen, Mima, and toti? Oh DAMN, My mother & Delta Carmen were walking in behind Mima. I am so screwed. Rolling my eyes with a loud huff.

The four elder she-wulves, being big on respecting one's elders; give me a glaring steely stare that elders give when their kids have embarrassed them. I bow my head closing my eyes, a sign of respect to them and in my case.....avoiding a four-way ASS WHOOPING!.

They remain silent as the senior Alphas begin. With admiration, I note how that Alpha & Luna role never expires even when they step down. For a moment I look to Toti. The questioning stare on my face easy to interpret "You shared with them didn't you?" Her returning confirming gaze to me also obvious "yup". By human age, I am now 42. BUT, by wer standards I am only 438 yrs old, Sooooo; I am still a wufling. 

Even though sulking does not look well, with my direct elders reprimanding me? it is not beneath me either. Which, in this case, I revert to. Slumping back into the deck seat I sat in, scooching my ass halfway to the edge, further sinking into the back cushion while I drape one hand on my face, covering my eyes. But one sharp wulf speak "OYE! (LISTEN!)" from all FOUR SHE-WULVES! and I shot up sitting proper, attentively. The senior males remained silent, allowing the females their right to discipline.
