The Hunter's Mate

Mother

*(Lyra)

"I don't know why I have to wear this."

I had made Venn put on a collared shirt and denims to meet my mother.

"Maybe if my mom thinks your a gentleman, she will be less inclined to kill you."-I replied

"She wouldn't do that."

He was right, but I wouldn't let him know that.

My father had told my mother that I had found 'The One', and that I was going to introduce them, but that she should brace herself emotionally.

I had to block her from my mind in order to get away from her asking me about him.

As I straitened Venn's collar, a knock at the door sounded. I ran to answer it. As soon as I opened the door, my mother gave me a bear hug.

"Where is he?" She asked excitedly.

Venn stepped out with a nervous smile. My mother beamed.

"Hello, my name is Venn, Mrs....?"

"Just call me Claudia!"

Then she started the barrage of questions.

"What pack are you from?"

"Um-"

Apparently my mother hadn't noticed he wasn't a werewolf.

"How did you two meet?"

"I-"

"What was it like when you first saw each other? "

"MOM!"

She blushed.

"Sorry, I guess I got a little carried away there."

Venn chuckled and wrapped his arms around me.

"Awww come on, she's your mother. Of course she'd like to know about your mate."

"Yeah but the questions were coming too fast too answer!"

He chuckled.

" I answered one."

My mother raised an eyebrow.

"Which one?"

"Ask and find out."

We sat down before further questioning.

"What was it like when you two met?"

"Full of... Adrenaline?"

My mother gave me a questioning gaze.

She asked the next question more slowly.

"How did you meet?"

I turned beat red.

"Lyra attacked me."

She was shocked at that.

"But there isn't a scratch on you! Didn't you meet yesterday?"

"I won the fight without fighting. And yes."

"How?"

"With a gun."

She looked mortified.

"You shot at her?!"

"Of course not! She's still alive obviously."

"You could have missed."

"Sure"

She asked the next question very carefully.

"What pack do you belong to?"

I sighed. Here it goes.

"He's not in a pack." I say.

"So your a rouge?" She asked curiously.

"Not exactly." Venn replied

She was confused by that.

"But-"

Then understanding dawned on her face.

"Oh."

I sighed

"Is that why Lyra made you wear the shirt?"

"Well, sort of. Thats only half of the issue."

She rolled her eyes.

"Is there anything else i should know besides the fact that he's human?"

I sighed.

I held up a bag with the silver in it.

"Look inside."

She pulled the string which held the pouch shut and pulled open the top. She gasped and dropped the bag on the table.

"This is not what I think it is right?"

She said quietly.

"Your mate is a...... MILLIONAIRE?!!"

Venn and I laughed so hard at that we fell off our chairs.

My mothers innocence was so lovable.

"I said to brace yourself emotionally, not get ready for the surprise of a life-time." My father said as he entered the room.

"One more hint" he said as he pulled out Venn's sword.

My mothers face paled.

"Is that?"

"Mhhmm."

"So he's"

"Yep"

"And our daughter is-"

"Exactly."

My mother was sitting in shock when she looked atVenn and then back at me.

"Does Brian know?"

"Yes." This time I was the one to reply.

"Well I'll be damned. Well, it was nice meeting you Venn!"

She then walked upstairs.

My mouth gaped.

It was my turn to be in shock.

"Did she just-"

"Yep" Venn replied

"Just like that?"

"Guess so."

"Huh."
