Vintage POV (Valenzano Wolf):
This is the one day out of the year that the Alpha and Beta wolves take control and conduct pack business. While sitting here listening to the other Alphas and Beta they have not had a rouge attack as we had.
According to them, they haven't have any issues with rouges or hunters. I can help but to think about Cleo and how she is doing, and suddenly everyone at the table growls lowly. I am sitting there confused as everyone including August gets up to leave the room.
"Bro, we need to go now something is happening at the brunch", August said
"What's going on", I asked confused.
"It seems like the is some drama with Cleo and Nutri and things might get physical", August said.
We run to the area when that brunch is being held. Everyone knows it is an act of war to attack anyone on my land. I growl to all the men as a warning to not go any further. Don gave me the stink eyes; I made a mental note to punch it off his face. Once I move through the crowd of me my jaw drops to the ground. I see Cleo with a sliver dagger on Nutri's neck and Jazz have a silver gun pointed toward Valerie's head.
What the hell is going on here? I see Alpha Don and his Beta inching closer; I growl again as a warning; they move one more time they will be ripped to shreds. I move closer to Cleopatra she is so focused on her target she doesn't even realize that I am near her.
"Cleopatra put the dagger down my love", I say as I grab the dagger out of her hand.
"She deserves to die", she says as she cries and puts her arm away for Nutri.
"Baby lower your weapon", August said to Jazz.
"What the hell is going on here?", Alpha Don yells.
"Don I will be the one asking questions being that we are on my land", I say in my Alpha tone, which works because I am older and stronger than him.
"It's my mate and Beta whose life is in danger", Don says, right now he is undermining my authority and I can't let him get away with that. I walk towards him and Cleopatra stops me.
"Don't Vintage", she says in a whisper.
"Don says another word and your whole pack is dead", I say with a growl. Everyone looks at me in shock.
"Vintage I'm okay... it's fine", Cleopatra says with pleading eyes.
"What happened here", I say as I look at all the ladies.
"Nutri started it...and then tried to attack Cleo", Luna Janna says.
"YOU LYING BITCH", Luna Nutri yells.
"Take Luna Nutri to the dungeons please", I say as calmly as I could.
"WHAT...NO...DON HELP ME!", she screams, I looked at Don daring him to say something.
After calming down I got all the info I need for the witnesses there. I don't understand how Don and Nutri blame Cleopatra for their daughter's death can. I have a Luna in the dungeons, an Alpha who I want to rip to shreds, and a mate that I want to make happy.
Goddess helps me, I know Cleopatra doesn't want anyone dying today or another day but I will protect her. I walk her to the garden, and we sit on the swing.
"Cleopatra are you okay", I ask with sincerity.
"Vintage I am okay. It's just that dealing with her made me remember things I didn't want to remember", she says trying not to cry.
"I don't want to ruin your gathering maybe I should stay in the room for the rest of the week", she says.
"It's not your fault at all. No one blames you...I don't blame you", I love how strong and variable she can be. Just a few minutes ago she was about to kill a werewolf and now he is fighting with herself not to cry.
"Vintage you have to let her out of the dungeon", she says looking at me with pleading eyes.
"I will only if she and Don apologize to you for everything.", I say lifting her chin up and kiss her on her forehead.
"Everything?'", she asked confused.
"Yes...everything. For killing your first love, killing your family, killing your pack, and her outburst today and they will do it publicly", I say as I hold her tightly.
"Vintage that is not necessary and besides they won't apologize for any of it", she says.
"Yes, they will, or they will face the consequences", I say with seriousness.
"Vintage no... you can't do that I won't let you", she says with determination.
"It's funny that you think you can stop me. As your mate is it my job to protect you and they hurt you, not only that they disrespected you on my land. I can get that shit slide, so either they apologize or suffer the consequences.", I say kissing her.
"Vintage they don't know I am your mate", she said looking at me like I lost my mind.
"That may be so but they know you are my guest and is under my protection and thus should not have been treated the way you were", I sternly to her so she understands I am dealing with this no matter what she wants.
"How about we sleep on it", she says, and I agree.
After that whole ordeal, the day went on, the way it is supposed to go. Dinner was another BBQ-themed. Alpha Don stayed in his room which is good for him to do. I would have for me to have to kill him in front of Cleopatra. We slept in each other arms. I want to fuck her into next week, but I can't Valenzano will be pissed if she can't walk for the rest of the week. I want her in the safety of my arms forever.
