**Avaya POV:**
I have been in the shadow lurking waiting for the women to leave clutching their ass holes, but nothing happened. I have been out here for four fucking hours. What the fuck is going on in there? I was about to leave when I saw and heard laughing and people saying goodbye. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK? No one is running off trying not to shit on themselves. The bitch better has a good fucking reason why no one is shitting on themselves.
*Me: WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?! WHAT HAPPENED?!
S: Luna, Beta Jazz had West test the drinks to see if they were good. And well, the drink did what it was supposed to do. When he got the runs, she had the doctor look at him, and told him it was due to a laxative. The doctor took all of the drinks and tested them and found the laxative.
Me: Did they find the evidence?
S: No, I burned the boxes, and Beta Jazz hasn't told Alpha yet.
Me: OK so delete all the messages from me and delete them from your phone service.
S: Yes Luna.
Me: After everything cools down give me an update.
Why Moon Goddess, why? Why must nothing go the way I want it? I really hope Robert got the intel we need for the ceremony which is less than two weeks away. That McKee doesn't trust me shouldn't, but his lack of trust can hinder my plans. On my way to Roberts camp, my phone went off. I looked and it is Valenzano's number. Curiosity got the best of me and I opened the message.
Babe: I was thinking a lot about us and the way things happened between us and our pup. I have decided to have a funeral for our pup and bury it in my family plot. We would like you to attend.
Me: Why now?
Babe: Honestly, because I never knew how much hurt I caused you until today. And for that, I truly apologize. I just want to do what's right. I want to give our pup all the burial honors an Alpha pup deserves.
Me: I appreciate it. When would you like to do this?
Babe: Saturday if that is fine with you.
Me: Saturday is fine. Do I have your word no harm will come to me?
Babe: You have my word no harm will come to you. You can leave right after the burial.

I am about to have an emotional breakdown. Why, after all these years, did he finally realize the pain he had put me through? I totally don't want to go to Robert's camp in this emotional state. My pup is a touchy subject. I never really forgave Valenzano. I think I stood by him because of his promise. Every time I go into heat I think about my pup and if it was a boy or a girl. If it looked like me or Valenzano.
The hand that I was dealt is shitty. I have always prayed to the Goddess, offering her burnt offerings. I don't understand how she can do this to me. I remember the first day I met Valenzano. I thought the moon Goddess had blessed me.
**Flash Back **
"Baby you are home from England", my mother said as she welcomed me with a hug.
"Yes, mother I am back", I said as I hugged her back.
"Honey, I am so sorry that Queen Victoria died. I know you were her closest lady in waiting", mom said.
" She died peacefully, mom, that's what matters", I said.
"Well, tonight we are having dinner with Claret and her family", mom said.
"Mom, I am not in the mood for a dinner party", I said, shaking my head.
"No sweety Claret misses you. Every time I got a letter from you, we read it together", she said, smiling.
"I guess she has got a lot of time on her hands since her mate is no longer Alpha", I said.
"Speaking of Alpha, ours didn't find his mate yet", my mother said with a grin.
"Mom stop trying to hoe me out to the Alpha", I said, laughing.
"Hoe you out? who me? You know Claret and I always thought you two would get together", she said, smiling fucking hard.
"Mom, he is a male whore. All he does is use women for what he can get and leave them. He uses his Alpha title to bed women", I said, getting angry.
"He has grown different; he takes his Alpha duties seriously now", she said, and I doubt it.
"Whatever mom, I am going to unpack and take a nap. Just wake me up to get ready for dinner", I said, walking to my room.
"Okay baby, I will take a nice dress for you", she said, still smiling. She is up to something.
And she did just that, got me up, and put on a hunter-green lace dress. When I walked in, I saw the most handsome man I have ever seen. I was shocked to see we were wearing the same color and so was he.
"Claret, this is my daughter. You remember her right", mom said, making introductions.
"Yes, I do, Avaya, how are you? I hope you are here to stay", former Luna Claret said.
"I am here to say Luna", I said with a nod.
"Avaya, you remember my son and Beta West?", Luna Claret asked.
"Hello Beta", I said.
"Hello Avaya", he said with a smile.
"And my oldest son and Alpha Valenzano", Claret introduced.
"Hello Alpha", I said with a bow. Not giving him a second glance.
"Little Avaya, it is nice to see you aagin. I remember when you used to be training to be a lady in waiting", Alpha said.
"That's what I was actually doing in England. I was a lady in waiting for Queen Victoria", I said sadly.
"My condolences on your loss", he said.
"Thank you, Alpha", I said, trying to get away from him.
"Please call me Valenzano", he said with a smile.
We sit and ate Valenzano and I spoke about my time in England. He seemed interested in my time in England. He also tells me about himself and like the gentleman he is, he asked my mother can he call on me. Of course, she said yes.
"Avaya, wake up, you have lunch with the Alpha", my mom screamed in my ear.
"Mom, stop trying to hoe me out to the Alpha", I said, sleepy and annoyed.
"I am not trying to hoe you out, my dear, he has an interest in you and I would like to keep it that way", she said, happy as can be.
"Mom, he has a mate somewhere. I will not let myself get into a thing with him, knowing he will push me aside once he finds his mate", I said, looking at her annoyed as hell.
"Just get up and get dressed. Your clothes are on the chair", she said, then stormed out.
My lunch with Valenzano is informative. He likes hunting, gardening, and the arts. We played twenty-one questions. After some multiple lunches and dinners, he asked me to be his companion.
"Avaya, excuse me if I come off a little forward, but I am fascinated with you. I was wondering if you would like to be my companion", Valenzano said.
"Companion, as in someone who warms your bed in secret or someone to stand by your side?", I asked firmly.
"Someone to stand by my side. I would never keep you hidden", he said, then kissed my hand.
"So, you wouldn't treat me like the other women I heard about?", I asked, letting him know I knew his game.
"I never promised those women anything. They were aware of what they were getting into", he said in a serious tone.
"And what are you promising me?", I asked, wanting to know if his intentions were pure.
"I promise you that I will never disrespect you. I promise the pack respect of a Luna without the title", he said, looking me in the eyes.
“You know a promise is a comfort for a fool”, I said.
“And I know you are no fool”, he said holding my hand.
"And if I said no to all of it?", I asked, wanting to know what he would do.
"That's why I want you as my companion. You see me and not my title or power", he said, smiling.
"Valenzano, I refuse to be anyone's whore to be thrown away once your mate shows up", I said sternly.
"I will never want you to be my whore. As for my mate, even when she does show up, you will still be my friend. Besides, my mother will never forgive me if I hurt you", he said, then kissed me passionately.
**End of Flash Back **
I gave in and became his. Our mothers were happy that we decided to be together. Our life together was great until it wasn't. Now we aren't anything, not lovers, not friends, and he has the nerve to tell me about his plans to bury our pup. Now he wants to feel guilty after twenty-five fucking years. I will go to the reburial of our pup, I will observe and play coy, waiting for my time to strike and get my man back.
