**Jazz POV: **
I hope Cleo knows what she is doing. Valenzano loves her and I know the mating bond is growing and she is starting to feel the pull. We need to tell her soon she is Valenzano's mate soon. Driving to the restaurant, I can see Cleo is nervous.
"How are you feeling?", I asked hoping she does not feel good about this and wanted to turn back.
"Nervous.... I don't know what I am going to say or how I am going to feel", she said looking ut the window.
"Cleo, go in there, talk to him and get the closure you need, then leave his ass in the rearview", I am so worried about Cleo having dinner with Robert.
When I dropped her off, I was still worried, hopefully, West and Valenzano were still in their meeting. Once I am at the house, I am shitting bricks. Damn I hope they are still in Valenzano's office. I walk through the side entrance that connects to the kitchen. Once I get in my heart stops FUUUCCKK West and Valenzano is in the damn kitchen.
"Hey babe", I say said, trying to act normal.
"Babe where have you been", he asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I was out...hi Valenzano", I said as I waved to him. I am still in the same spot. I am trying to slow my heart rate, so they won't think anything is wrong.
"Hi, Jazz.... where is Cleo?", Valenzano asked me.
"Out", I said nervously.
"Out? by herself", he asked as my heart started racing about to jump out of my chest.
"Yeah, I dropped her off in town", I said as I slowly made my way to the stairs, but they both blocked my path. Shit, I am so screwed.
"Jazz it's 8 pm and you dropped her off in town", West asked, looking at me like he knew I am lying.
"Jazz where is Cleo?", Valenzano says as he starts to walk towards me. But West grabs him by the shoulder to stop him. I can barely breathe; I am scared as fuck. I don't want to betray my friend, but I can't lie to my mate.
"Babe, what is Cleo doing in town this late", West asked with a stern voice.
I am so fucked; at some point, I will have to tell them, and I don't want them to overreact. Valenzano will go bat shit crazy because she is mate. West will go nuts because he is his Luna and sister-in-law.
"Babe, I asked you a question", West says as he steps towards me. As he steps forward, I step back until I am against a wall.
"Jazz where is my mate", Valenzano says with a growl. Shit, shit, shit, I am so fucked. I jumped into West's arms. He turns and growls at Valenzano. I don't want them to fight over this. It will cause problems within the pack and the family.
"She is in town having dinner with Robert", I mumbled in West chest. I am going to have to beg Cleo for forgiveness.
"Babe what did you say?", I know West heard me. I am sure Valenzano didn't hear me.
"She is in town have dinner with Robert", I said, trying not to cry.
"Robert...who the hell is that?", West asks.
"WHAT SHE IS HAVING DINNER WITH HER EX-HUSBAND!", Valenzano growls yelling.
"Dude calm the fuck down you are scaring Jazz. And I am sure there is an explanation", West says as he turns to me for more information.
"She told me today that she saw him last night at the club and he asked her out for dinner. Valenzano, she just wants closure. She never got it", I said with a pleading tone.
"What restaurant?", Valenzano asked while fighting Vintage for control.
"Miser Chatu", I say, trying not to cry, because I just betrayed my friend.
"When did you drop her off", Valenzano asked, still trying to keep control.
"At 7p.m.", I say as West continues to console me.
"She's been with him for a whole fucking hour", he says as Vintage takes control.
"Vintage bro don't do anything stupid that will scare her away", West says, trying to calm Vintage down.
"So, you expect me to allow my mate to have a date with another man. A man she used to be married to your WRONG", Vintage says as she storms out of the house.
"SHIT! Baby, this is not good. I am going to go with him to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid", West says as he runs after Vintage.
FUUCCKK, I hope that dinner is over before they get there, and Cleo forgives me. I called her multiple times to try and warn her, but she did not answer her phone. I go to our room and wait for her to call back or for them to come back to the house.
Shit, Cleo is going to hate me. I broke girl code because I was scared. She will never trust me again. Then again, she knows how scary West and Valenzano can be. Maybe she will forgive me. I go take a shower and pray that my Alpha would flip out on my best friend.
I doubt Valenzano would use is Alpha tone one me ever. If it came down to a choice, I will choose her over my title as female Beta. When I got out of the shower, I tried to call her again. It's been thirty minutes since they left. If Cleo just answers her phone, I can give her a heads up. Hopefully she is on her way here.
If she isn't on her way here. I hope when they do find her, she is with Robert so they can rip him apart. What he did to Cleo is unforgivable. She is better than me because I would not have given him the time of day. Personal I would have thrown a drink and a fist in his face.
