My Atypical Wolf (BL)

Chapter 71: A Joke?

All the way back Ashton kept on thinking what will be the outcome of their meeting. Will he be hunted once more? Will his brother agree to keep this a secret? Will they have to relocate once more? Stuff like that.

He was late for lunch, as he didn’t even go home at all since he left early in the morning. He was expecting to be scolded or something, but never did he expect to find the commotion that was taking place there. “What’s happening here”? He asked his mother who was standing face to face with another woman, red faced.

“Ashton this Mrs Slater, and this is her son” she pointed at the woman and then to a kid standing right next to her who looked around the twins age. There was a big bruise above the cheekbones of the kid that made it seem like there was some involved in some sort of violence. “According to this woman, Ava beat up her son for ‘no good reason”. Mrs Parker rolled her eyes.

On smelling, he could tell either of them were a beta or an Alpha, though he failed to tell which is which. “I doubt that”, Ashton mumbled.

“Stay out of this kid, this is none of your business”! Mrs Slater scolded him.

Ashton was completely unbothe red by her attitude, “She is my sister, she is definitely my business” Ashton snapped back at her.

“What a rude kid” She gasped, pretending to be offended. “No wonder she is so rough, look what she did to my son”! She pointed at the bruise in her son’s cheeks.

.....

“Why did she do that”? Ashton asked the woman arrogantly.

“You tell me, they were talking and suddenly she punched him”! The woman complained with a disappointed expression.

“Why did you do it”? Ashton asked Ava.

“He called me a weakling, I showed him that I am not” Ava snapped.

“He was just teasing, why get so aggressive so soon”? Mrs Slater pointed out. “She is clearly ill-mannered”!

“I agree, this is clearly her fault” Ashton agreed with the woman before turning to Ava. His mother was shocked by his response along with Ava and Ariel, while Mrs Slater produced a satisfied smirk. “Ava, you shouldn’t punch someone just because they called you weak”. He explained to her.

“Hey, I said ‘no I am not’ first. But he asked me to prove it”! Ava protested.

“So you punched him? You know punches are not the only way right? A kick is way more effective”! Ashton scolded her, and that very moment a smirk appeared in his mom’s face while Mrs Slater’s mouth went agape. Both the twins tried their best to hold the giggles that were threatening to erupt.

“This is preposterous”! The woman scoffed. “Mrs Parker, you clearly failed to teach proper manners to your kids”! She huffed.

“Nope, I didn’t. She behaved exactly how I would have wanted her to in this situation” Mrs Parker folded her hands. “I’m still better than a mother who encourages their kids to bully others”! She reprimanded.

“Bully? It was a simple joke”! She cried.

“Well it offended her, which I think she had made it clear. He should have apologized instead of further provoking her”. Mrs Parker beamed proudly.

“Are you seriously kidding me”? Mrs Slater asked Mrs Parker.

“If I am, then it shouldn’t bother you, you know, because it’s ‘a joke’. Calm down woman”. Mrs Parker snapped at her. Mrs Parker wasn’t clearly okay with her daughter resorting to violence, however given this woman’s shameless attitude, she wanted to defend her daughter.

At this point she was beyond furious so she spat, “Well it was a joke, but he wasn’t wrong. After all she is an omega, what more she can do”!

*smack* a loud noise of someone getting slapped was heard in the room. The woman held her recently redded cheek while she glared at Mrs Parker. “How are you slap me you b***ch”! She was about to hit Mrs Parker back when Ashton held her back.

“You know, before this escalates any further, how about we consult a professional” Ashton smirked.

“What nonsense are you spewing”! She spat at him.

“The head Alpha’s son, Caleb? He is my friend. You know, he did once tell me that you can’t treat omegas as if they are inferior to you in this pack, but then again I might have heard wrong”. Ashton shrugged with a hidden smug in his voice.

Mrs Slater snorted before saying, “You think you can threaten me with your bluff”.

“That was a genuine suggestion” Ashton shrugged innocently before facetiming Caleb. After a few rings a shirtless sweaty Caleb picked up. Ashton blinked the moment he glanced at Caleb and decided against turning the phone to show Mrs Slater his face. She would recognize his voice right?

“What do you want now”? Caleb asked with a tinge of annoyance.

“First of all, put on a shirt” Ashton cleared his throat before continuing, “And secondly tell me something, is it okay to tease omegas by calling them weak in your pack”. He questioned.

“What”? Caleb scrunched his eyebrows. Frustrated Ashton decided to link him and explain the whole situation. When Ashton was done he did “Ohh” before grabbing the shirt next to him and putting it on. “Well, as far as I know, it is a punishable crime in our area. If you happen to encounter any incidence do tell me, I will pass along to my Dad”. Caleb said loudly hoping the woman would hear him in the background.

“Oh, well then I believe you need to talk to Mrs Slater” he flipped the phone to show her his face through the phone.

She gulped visibly, scared of getting caught and laughed awkwardly, “Hi Caleb, don’t worry about it too much”.

“I wouldn’t. I believe you are aware of the rules very well, so I as sure you won’t do anything to jeopardize that”. Caleb smiled at her sarcastically.

Ashton thanked him for his help and raised his eyebrows at the woman, “You were saying...”?

Mrs Slater huffed before storming out of their house. “I might kill her if I see her again”. Mrs Parker mumbled.
