**Vintage POV: **
Waiting for Cleopatra is one of the hardest things I had to do. Some of my pack memebers work here at this resturant. I am radiating all of my anger out. I noticed as someone of them walk pass me they bare their neck in submission. I can't help it i am pissed off. I try to calm down having faith that after today he will be erased from her life.
"Alpha, may i take your drink order?", one of my pack members asked. He looks scared.
"Yes, I will have a scotch neat. As a matter of fact make it a double", I said.
I am trying to understand why the hunter have an emotional hold on her. I don't even know why they divorced, I never thought about asking until now. As an Alpha my instinct let me rule and dominate her and make her tell me what I want to know. But she is human, and that behavior will only push her away. I can't lose her after Valenzano and I worked so hard to get out mate bond where it is. My phone goes off and it is my brother texting me.
* West: Dude did you flip out yet?
Me: No but I am trying not to.
West: Are you watching them?
Me: No iI am waiting for her at my resturant. She is at the cafe down stairs.
West: Really? Oh my goddess. You are better then me I would be siting right accross from them if it was Jazz
Me: Don't tempt me. I am trying to respect her wished.
West: Fuck that.
Me: West, you are not helping.
West: I am not trying to help. I am stating facts.
Me: So, you prefer me to go on a killing spree?
West: Spree no. But killing someone yes. Just one worthless hunter.
Me: What do you want dont you have a pack to run
West: I wanted to make sure you are good. And the pack runs itself.I dont know why you act like it is so hard.
Me: Let me get this straight. You think it is easy becaue your ass have been running the back for two hours? Well i am going to go on vacation for two months see how you like it then.
West: Hell no. Heavy is the head that wears the crown. And my neck is not that strong so. You can have the pack back when you get here.
Me: Bye West*
I love him but he is annoying. It pisses me off that Jazz knows somwthing and she is not telling him. Mainly becasue she knows West will spill the beans and tell me everything. Cleopatra and Jazz being so tight liped is scary to me. What is the big deal? Is her secret that bad?
Now I have a nagging feeling that there is something about the two of them that we should know. I thought about asking Jazz, but August and West would be pissed off if I upt set Jazz or scare her in anyway. Which I don't want to do but I need some answers. And it seems like the only person that might be bold enough to tell me is that Hunter.
I know if he and I come face to face I will end up killing him. He will tant me with the life that use to have. And I will lose my shit and rip his head off. Not caring one bit about the consequences.They have nothing connecting them togther. No children, no property, no family in common. But yet there is a connection between the two.
"Vintage calm down we don't want to scare her away", Valenzano said.
"Valenzano, don't you want to know why she is so attached to that Hunter", I asked Valenzano annoyed.
"Of course, I want to know. I know Cleo is hiding something from us", Valenzano said wanting control. He wants to baby Cleopatra so that she will tell us wha tit is about this Hunter that she won't let him go.
"Valenzano stop trying to take control. I will give it back when I make sure she is okay", I say starting to get annoyed. Valenzano is only acting like this because he thinks I will overreact and hurt Cleopatra. No i will overreact and kill that Hunter. Which might be a bad idea. But oh, well.
She walks into the restaurant. I can see she was crying, and she is doing her best to hide it from me. What the fuck happened I need to know? But I can't push her too hard. She sits down and forces a smile, then looks at the menu. The waiter came to took our orders. The smell of that Hunter on her is driving me crazy, I want to take her home and scrub his scent off her. I want to ask her straight out. But i knwo if i do she will only build a higher wall. It seems her relatinship or past with that Hunter is a touchy subject for her.
"This place is nice isn't it", I asked trying to break the silence.
"Yes, it is. I kind of feel underdressed", she says.
" You look beautiful, besides the owner of this restaurant says you look beautiful", I say with a smile.
"The owner of the restaurant. Wait you own this restaurant?", she asked in shock.
"Yes, I do. This is one of the businesses I own independently from the pack", I say with pride.
"Well, I must say it is beautiful and the menu looks amazing. A little pricy but beautiful", she said looking at the menu.
"I will keep it in mind to lower the prices", I say with a laugh.
The food came Cleopatra has good taste in food and wine. As we eat, I waited for a chance to ask her what happened at the café, I want to know I need to know. Valenzano and I agree we will ask her before we leave this restaurant.
"Cleopatra, how did it go at the café?", I asked not looking at her.
"It went alright", she says as her heart rate increase.
"So, did you like the gift he gave you?", I asked looking at her and noticing she is trying not to look at me.
"Yes, I did it is a nice gift", she says still not looking at me.
"Cleopatra please look at me", I say as she looks at me with pleading eyes. She doesn't want to talk about it. She needs to leave that hunter and her attachment to him in our rearview.
"Vintage what you're thinking it is not what you should think. I don't want Robert, I know it's the Alpha in you that wants to be possessive but there is no need for that", she says as she takes a large sip of wine.
"Then tell me Cleopatra?", I asked leaning in closing the gap between us.
"It's a man who knows he messed up and lost the best woman he would ever have and is now regretting it", say with sorry in her voice.
"Do that woman miss that man who didn't appreciate her? Or is she just feeling sorry for him", I say wiping the tear that is coming out of her eyes.
"She missed what they had. And feel sorry for him because he knows now, she can do better", she says as she rubs the hand I had on her face.
"Well, I am glad she knows she can do better. I hope she knows that there is a man that loves, appreciates, and protects her", I say kissing her on her forehead.
I didn't even bother to ask her what the gift is if she wants to tell me she will in her own time. We finish eating and left the mall to make it back to the pack lands. I hope she remembers she is in heat and can't walk around the pack lands. I want to breed her and i want to do it badly. Valenzano doesn't want to do itjust yet. Untill Cleopatra tell us abour her history with that Hunter.
"If she does are you ready to tell her about the history of us and Avaya?", Valenzano asked.
"What us and Avaya? There was nota us and Avaya. That was all you. So you will have to explain that to her", I said.
"It was not all me", he said in defense.
"Yes, it was. So you are going to have to take resposiblity for your actions. Cleopatra will be mad. Just as we will be mad once we find out the story of her and that Hunter", I said.
Valenzano got me messed up if he think I am going to take any responsiblity for him being with Avaya. I told him the whole time it was a bad idea to even fuck her. Let alone have a relationship with her. Everytime they were together I would go to them back of his mind. It got so bad that he started to feel weak because I would not want to be present whne she was around . To bad for him he always had her around. And had to make time just for me and him with out Avaya and her wolf around.
I always told him having Avaya as a mistress, personal whore. What ever he wanted to call her would come to bit us in the ass. And I was right. Avaya threated Cleo and Jazz. She might be the traitor. All this is all because his ass wanted to get his dick wet. Yes his dick, I made sure he used his dick when he fucked her. I wanted no part of that shit.
