**Jazz POV: **
Why is my phone going off nonstop? All I want to do is sleep. Grabbing my phone. It's texts from Cleo. Of course, she is up, the pups won't sleep unless Valenzano is nearby. Cleo is not even Luna yet and she is already stressing about making changes in the pack.
She wants to start celebrating the holidays and I think that is great. However, I think she should wait until she is fully settled in the pack and after the pups are born. We don't like her stressing.
*Cleo: I need you to decorate the great hall for that Thanksgiving dinner.
Me: How many people are you inviting?
Cleo: All members of the pack, I have an Omega delivering the invitations now.
Me: Cleo November just started. You expect me to order and decorate the main hall plus everything I need to do for your matting ceremony? Girl, are you crazy?! I know I am good, but I'm not that good.
Cleo: Yes, you can do it Jazz. I wouldn't have asked if I didn't believe in you. Val doesn't want me to do so much. Pleasssseeee.
Me: Okay, but I am going to need help.
Cleo: Ask Claret. She will be happy to help you.
Me: Really...you went there. How about having her do the ceremony while I do the dinner?
Cleo: I will fucking kill you if you do!
Me: lol...I will ask her bye girl get some sleep.*
I love Cleo. She is my best friend and will be my Luna, but she is getting on my nerves. Not only do I have to plan the matting ceremony that's less than two months away. Now she wants me to start organizing the decorations for a Thanksgiving dinner that no one might not come to.
I need help and I don't want to have to ask the one person I don't want to ask and that is West's mom. I am going to have to ask her to help with the Thanksgiving dinner. There is no way in hell Cleo will agree with her helping with the mating ceremony. I had to make it seem like it was her idea to help, not me asking. Swallowing my pride, I went downstairs to talk to Claret.
"Claret, can I talk to you for a moment?", I asked, trying to sound sweet.
"Sure Jazz", she sounds annoyed. I really don't want to ask her.
"There is an event, later on, this month and I just wanted to make sure to invite you personally.
"An event?", she asked.
"Yes, Cleo invited all pack members for a Thanksgiving dinner. Invites were sent out today, RSVP should be completed by weekend.
"And where will it be held?", she kind of demanded an answer.
"In the great hall", I said with a smile.
"So let me get this straight. Cleo got you co-planning the ceremony as well as decorating the great hall for a Thanksgiving dinner. At dinner you have no idea how many people are going to show up", well she summarized that greatly.
"But you are only human, how can she expect so much from you", I am not sure if this bitch just insulted me or stood up for me?.
"I know and everyone is running ragged. I just want to make sure your invite didn't get lost", I said, sounding like I am tired, which I am.
"How kind of you. I know what Jazz; I had already found the officiant for the wedding part of the ceremony. How about I decorate for this Thanksgiving dinner? Cleo wants to have so much", and just like that, she offered.
"I couldn't ask you to do that, Claret", I said, as if I was flattered it was offered.
"No problem, dear, you aren't asking dear I am offering," she said with pride. I kind of feel bad.
"Okay since you insist...once the total RSVP comes, I will give you a final headcount for the tables and chairs", I said smiling mission accomplished.
That went better than I thought. West is out training, so I have time to look over what I still need to order for the ceremony. Inside his office, I sat down and took a deep breath and looked over what I wrote down on my notepad. I need to get more lights, some torches, a photographer, a band, singers, schedule appointments for our dresses, schedule a meeting with the florist, and create the invites to send out.
I have the list of those who were invited to the gathering, so I just copied the information from it. I opened the website and created the invites. They will be sent out tomorrow. I need to ask Cleo if she wants to do a wedding registry. After setting up all the appointments needed, I headed to Cleo.
**Cleo POV: **
When I woke up from my nap, I felt so good as if I knew today was going to be a great day. Lost in my thoughts, eating my food, relaxing while Val gets pack work done before we call it a night. He wakes up early now so he can spend more time with me. He has been really protective lately.
We have been eating in our room. He doesn't want me to take the stairs, but the elevator makes me sick. So, today I want to go to our garden and enjoy the semi-winter air. I was dressed in a black sweater dress with leggings and my brown riding boots. I slowly walked down the stairs. As soon as the air hits me, I am in heaven.
Sitting on the day bed reading the history of my pack. This book is fantastic. It has the first Alpha and Luna history and every couple who ran the pack after that. I wonder what my children will think about Val and the origins of their relationship. As I continue to read, I mind link an Omega to bring me some mint chocolate chip ice cream.
While lost in my thoughts, the wind blew I smelt something so foul I threw up. After I finished, I heard a growl, and I knew it wasn't anyone from the back. I looked up and saw a wolf with mated grey fur. I started to panic since I had no weapons. I couldn't fight due to the baby, nor could I run. Dude shifted right in front of me.
"Well...well...well...isn't it the special Luna that has my leader over the edge", some dude that looked like shit said.
"Who are you and what the fuck are you doing here", I said with authority.
"I am a rogue bitch. Your tone won't work on me. And if you must know, I came to see you just because of what the hype is about", while he was talking, I mind link, Valenzano.
"Val, I am in the garden. There is a rogue here. I am alone, we need you!", I yelled through the mind link.
"Leave NOW, while you can", I yelled, trying to show no fear.
"You are just a human. There is nothing you can do. I mind as well get rid of you now while I have a chance", he said, licking his lips.
Fuck this, I am not going out without a fight. I pick up the table next to the day bed ready to swing while the rogue charges toward me. The next thing I know, he is flying in the air in the opposite direction.
I look over and see Vintage in full Alpha mode ready to kill anyone who got near me. The rogue got up and charged toward Valenzano. I was so shocked I couldn't move. The next thing I know August and Jazz run to me. Jazz hugs me while August stands guard to make sure we are protected.
