**West POV: **
I wake up looking at my beautiful mate; just thinking about her swollen with my pups growing inside her makes me August swell with pride. I leave the room careful not to wake Jazz. I went downstairs, and the air smelled weird.
It was a mixture of my brother, Cleo, and Avaya. I spot my brother sleeping on the couch now. I know some shit went down last night. And I need to find out what the hell happened. I know whatever it was was not good but funny.
"Valenzano, wake up," I said while shaking him.
"WWWHHHAAATT," damn he sounds aggravated. I lift my hands in surrender. I want to know what happened last night before the girls woke up. He sits up and angrily rubs his face.
"Bro, why are you sleeping on the couch?" I asked eagerly for his answer.
"You don't want to know," he said, taking a deep breath.
"What happened? I smell you, Cleo, and Avaya." I am so eager to find out the scoop.
"Avaya is what happened. Vintage was finger-fucking Cleo in the kitchen, and Avaya walked in on it," he said, shaking his head.
"What the hell... wait, Vintage was finger-fucking Cleo," I say while laughing. I knew the scoop was going to be good.
"Yes. Is that all you heard? He had her right where we wanted her, and Avaya fucked it up. Cleo tried to leave; I convinced her to stay, and now I have to figure out a way to fix it before I lose my mate," he says, rubbing his temples.
"What was Avaya doing here anyway?" I asked, confused.
"She thought Vintage and I changed our minds about her being our mate and pack Luna," he said, aggravated.
"Did Cleo hear you'll conversation?" I asked.
"No, she was upstairs by then," he said, getting up and stretching.
"Where is Avaya now?" I asked, because if she is still around, she can be a problem.
"I have no idea. I told her she can stay on pack land because she is still part of the pack, but she is not allowed in the house," he said with a shrug.
I looked at him confused and asked, "Do you think it's a good idea to have Cleo and Avaya on the pack lands at the same time? At some point, the pack will have to know you found your mate, and Avaya is bound to go batshit crazy.".
"I know," he says, looking at me like I was telling him something he already knew.
"Look, bro, I never liked Avaya, or the fact that you had her around for so long, or the fact that you allowed her to run the pack with you as an unofficial Luna. But because you are my brother and Alpha, I did not oppose your decision," I said while holding his shoulder.
He leans back on the couch and rubs his forehead. I almost feel sorry for him. I think Cleo will make a very good mate for him and Luna for the pack. From what Jazz told me about her, she is a good person, strong, intelligent, passionate, and a force to be reckoned with if she is pushed.
I huff and say, "II will tell Jazz what happened and explain to her your past with Avaya and your relationship status. Hopefully, she can convince Cleo to give you a chance, at least until the mate bond grows.
"Thanks, West," he said as he walked toward the stairs.
"By the way, does Cleo know she is your mate?" I asked out of curiosity.
He turns and says, "Nope, we didn't get that far.".
"Y'all got far enough that Vintage was finger-fucking her," I say with a chuckle.
"The sooner you tell her, the better," I said to him, hoping my mate could save my brother.
I walk to my room, memorized by the beauty still sleeping in my bed. I got into the bed and sniffed the crook of her neck. I hate to wake her. I know after last night she is tired and sore. I couldn't help myself. I slid a finger inside her. She winced in pain; damn, she was sorrier than I thought. I got up and ran her a hot bath to help with the pain and relax her muscles.
"Jazz babe, wake up," I said, gently shaking her.
"Hmmm," she moans.
"You need to wake up, babe," I whispered in her ear.
"NO!" she says, shouting into the pillow.
I gently pick her up bridal style, and as I do, she places her head on my chest. I inhaled her scent; she was fully awake the moment I picked her up.
"Jazz, I have run you a bath, babe," I said as I gently placed her in the tub. A moan escapes her mouth. She must be relaxed now.
"Babe, I have to tell you something," I reluctantly said. I don't want her to jump out of the tub and go find Cleo before I have a chance to explain everything.
"What's up, babe?" she says, like she doesn't care in the world.
"Something happened last night between Cleo and Valenzano," and just as I finished my sentence, she tried to hop out of the tub. I gently pushed her back into the tub.
"WHAT THE HAPPENED?" she snapped.
"She is fine, babe," I said as I massaged her shoulders.
"That doesn't answer my question," she says as she splashes water on me.
"Calm down and I will tell you," I said, nibbling on her ear.
"OKAY, fine, I am calm," she says as she huffs. I will summarize what Valenzano told me.
Jazz didn't say anything; she just listened to what I had to say. But I know she will ask a shitload of questions when I am done. Cleo is her friend, so she might go crazy on Val over something that is not his fault. And yes, I expressed that he ended his relationship with Avaya some time ago.
