**Cleo POV:**
After the amazing wake call, Valenzano gave me. I just wanted to go back to sleep. As I tried to get back to sleep, I felt Valenzano's emotions through our bond. He is feeling remorse, regret, sorrow, pain. The emotions have me going crazy. I couldn't take it anymore. I go into the bathroom, and I see Valenzano on the floor crying with my locket in his hand. I gently grabbed his shoulder. He turns around and gives me a sad smile.
"Valenzano what's wrong baby, why are you on the bathroom floor crying?", I was confused.
"I found this and read the back and started thinking about my pup. I fucked up. I owe Avaya an apology. No woman should have to live with the pain I put her through. I know you still mourn the loss of your son. Hell, I can feel the pain through our bond. And if Avaya felt half of that for twenty-five years, no wonder she betrayed the pack", he says as he put the necklace on me.
"Valenzano, a mother will never forget any of her children, dead or alive. I don't know what really happened between you and Avaya, but what you did to her messed her head up for sure. I feel the loss of my son for two years. She had to live with her loss for twenty-five and word has it she killed her mate to be with you", Cleo said, kissing me.
"I know she killed her mate and I know why. I promised her something and didn't deliver. And now she probably feels like our pup and her mate were an unnecessary loss. I am the reason she betrayed the pack. I need to set things right before our pups are born. There is no telling what she will do once they are born", he says as he gets in the tub behind me.
“Robert is an asshole. But he did try to make right the wrong he did you. Unlike me, I just let Avaya mourn by herself. While I went on with the motions”, he said.
“Val, we can’t undo the past. We can only be cautious with the future”, I said comforting him.
“If I would have found out a man did what I did in my pack. I would have executed him. I should resign as Alpha and let West run the pack”, he said.
“If that is what you want to do. I am behind you on it. But just to let you know West will turn down the offer. He likes his freedom to much. And Jazz doesn’t want to be Luna”, I said.
“My dad could always take over”, he said. He should so down and depressed.
“Yeah, but that will leave your mother as Luna. And I don't think her and Jazz will get along well enough to work together",I said making a little joke to lighten the mood.
"I can imagine the headache those two will cause my father and West. I would be fun to watch", he said rubbing my stomach in a circle.
I don’t think Valenzano allowed himself to feel guilty or hurt back then. I think that now that he is about to become a father. He is starting to reflect on his past. So, years of guilt are hitting him all at the same time. Damn it, I do feel back all of these emotions are hiting him. And the worst part I can feel all of them. Anger, disappointment, shame, pain, guilt. It is a lot for me to take in.
"It is all hitting me now how fucked up I am. I had a duty as a father to protect my pup. And I was theone to end its life", he said with guilt and shame.
“I know I can feel it”, I said petting his head.
“Shit, I am sorry baby", he said in shock.
"It is fine. What are you going to do?", I asked. I knew if Robert would have done anything besides leave me, we might have still been together.
"Give my pup a proper burial and place him in the family plot. I will invite her to come. I owe her and our pup that much", he says as he rubs my stomach.
"When are you going to do it?", I asked our ceremony is right around the corner. I don't want her anywhere near it.
"Saturday", he said.
"Why Saturday?", I asked.
"Because today is about you", he says as he kisses my mark.
After he washed me, I got dressed. For today we must be going somewhere special. My outfit consists of an ankle-length peach off the shoulder maxi dress. He pairs them with black flats, which means I will be walking somewhere. I tried to mind link Jazz to ask her where we were going but she blocked me for some reason. Maybe her and West are at it like rabbits again.
So, now Val will have to tell his family what he plans on doing. He might not do it today. But the sooner he tells them the better. I just hope everyone will understand what he is trying to do and why. It is soon to be winter, but I am always hot.
“Val, you think I can go out for a maternity message?’, I asked.
“I can rub you down”, he said smirking.
“I need a message from a professional”, I said.
“I am insulted You would rather have some strangers rub you down than me”, he said faking sadness.
“Yes, because a rub down from you will turn into sex. And my back really hurts”, I complained.
“If you sit down baby your back won't hurt so much”, he said.
“Your children won’t let me get comfortable”, I said whining.
“Our children baby, our children”, he said with a pride full smile.
"Nope they are your children when my back hurts", I said.
“Well, you were not complaining when I put them in you”, he said smiling.
“Yeah, my back was hurting than as well”, I said rolling my eyes at him.
“Okay, what can I do to help you with the back pain?”, he asked.
“Take me to a spa please. I have been saying that for the past ten minutes”, I said pleading with him.
“Okay, but full warning I will lose my shit if there are no females there to rub you down”, he said, and I just rolled my eyes.
“Fine, mind link someone to tell them they are in charge”, I said
“West is busy. I will let my father know he will be in charge until we get back", he said.
While he drove, I googled nearby spas. Valenzano made me call each one of them to find out if there is a female worker available for me. I found one that Val was happy with. The moment we walked in he started growling.
“Baby what's wrong?”, I asked.
“There are werewolves here”, he said snarling.
“So, what. This place may be werewolf owned”, I said.
“There are a lot of male wolves here”, he said.
“We are staying. You didn’t want to take me to the spa on the pack lands. So, we are staying here”, I said.
I walked to the receptionist. The lady bowed to me. She must be a wolf. I introduced myself and told her what I wanted to get done. And asked for a female worker. They had all kinds of maternity messages to offer. I actually wanted to get them all. But I opted out for a two-hour message. One hour body scrub. Followed up by a hot stone message.
“Please have an extra chair brought in the room”, Valenzano said.
“Yes, Alpha”, the lady said.
“What, no Val”, I said.
“Cleopatra we are not on my pack lands. We are not on anyone pack lands. But there are many wolves here. I don’t like it at all. So, there is no way in hell I am letting you out of my sight”, Vintage said. Shit, this is all I need is for him to be in control.
“This place is neutral ground “, I said.
“My ass Cleopatra. You and the pups are to be protected at all costs. I have warrior on their way to scope the area. As well as added protection”, he said.
I gave in. There is nothing I can do; Vintage will pick me up and carry my ass out of here is I argue with him. At least if Valenzano was in control I had a chance. Thank goodness the receptionist is a wolf. She was able to identify Val as my mate and Alpha. She offered me a privet room to change in.
Two hours later and I feel that I can take over the world. I even convinced Vintage to get a message with me. After the first hour he relaxed and gave Valenzano back control. I hope he is just as relaxed as I am.
“That was amazing. I am not sure why I never gotten a message", he said smiling and glowing like he is the one carrying three Alpha pups.
I am glad he is relaxed though. It is as if he needed it more than I did. He tipped the workers very well. So, back to the park we will go. But not before he booked us another appointment. Goddess I love him. I can't say that enought.
