**Jazz POV: **
The first thing I did when I woke up is head to Cleo's room. West told me she was released from the hospital and might need someone to talk to. I am so mad at her putting herself at risk fighting she-wolf. If I wasn't here to give her my blood, she would be dead. I would have lost my best friend. I knock on her door she doesn't answer I am not sure if she is in Valenzano's room I don't want to knock on his door.
"Valenzano go away", I hear her yell at the door.
"Cleo it's Jazz open the door", she opens the door and lets me in.
"What's up Jazz", she says nonchalantly.
"What's up...that's what I came to find out. Cleo what were you thinking of fighting a she-wolf without any back up", I almost yell at her. It is driving me crazy that she is sitting here like she didn't almost die.
"Jazz it an emotional day. I argued with Vintage on the way to meet with Robert. Seeing Robert was emotionally draining in itself. Avaya messed with me at the right time and I was not in the mood to back down", she says reliving that day’s events.
"Wait...Cleo why were you meeting Robert again? And why didn't you tell me?", I asked confused.
"Seriously Jazz do you remember what happened the last time I told you I was meeting Rober? And besides i did not want to get you involved. You do remember the punishment West gave you right?", she said thinking she made a point.
"You are my best friend Cleo. I would take any punishment West or August give me becasue of you. Why?, becasue you are my best friend bitch", I said.
I’m mad she went there. Like I am in the wrong. As her best friend i have every right to not want her to talk to him ever again. I was there wipping every tear. Huging her after every nightmare. Helping her with her mental health after he distroyed her. So if she think I have no investment in this shit show that is her life, she have another thing coming. Her decisions effect everyone not just her. She needs to understand she will never be fully happy with anyone unless she cut off Robert once and for all.
"So, you think you are the only one who got punished? West gave me twenty swats with a metal paddle", I say to her.
"And I am sure you enjoyed it", she says with a smirk.
"I did but that is not all he did Cleo; he played with me and got me to the point I was about to cum and stop he did that shit 20 times and refused to have sex with me after. Also, he tied my hands so I couldn't finish myself off", I say as she starts laughing.
"That's what you get for snitching on me", she says as she falls back on the bed laughing.
"Bitch that is not funny, he wouldn't untie me until I told him I learned my lesson and I ended up fucking peeing on myself", I yell as I nudge her to stop laughing, but she only laughed harder.
"Are you more upset that he would let you cum or that you pee on yourself?", she asked still laughing.
"I am madder he would let me cum", I say like a two-year-old getting scolded. And all she did was laugh.
"And Jazz thank you for saving my life", she says with a serious face.
"No problem you are my best friend and besides I wouldn't have given that best the satisfaction of killing you. I hope you learned your lesson", I say with a smile.
"I did if there is a next time, I am going to have to shoot a bitch with a silver bullet", I said still laughing.
"In all seriousness Cleo, I thought you were done with Robert after the last time you'll meet and why didn't you agree to meet him", I asked.
"I thought I was too until he said he had a birthday present for me which was supposed to be my push present", I told her and showed her the locket.
"Cleo, you got to stop letting him lure you in like that… it's not good for you or your relationship with Valenzano", she said and I feel she does have a point.
"Valenzano and I don't have a relationship. That whole incident with Avaya made me realize that I might have to fight a lot of she-wolves if I was to pursue a relationship with him and I am not willing to keep putting my life on the line", I told her.
"How about you explain what happened from the beginning", she said all ears.
I sit on the bed as she explained with happened from the time, they left the old pack lands till now. I have to give it to Valenzano for going with her to meet Robert and keeping his cool. West would have gone with me just to rip the guy’s head off. I get the attachment to Robert, but she has to let it go. He was her everything, but he lost the privilege when he left her.
She was right Avaya caught her on the wrong day any other day Cleo might have walked away from her. On the outside, Cleo may look like someone who can't handle her own, but she can. Cleo doesn't like to fight but she I great at it when she is pushed, that is what will make her a great Luna. From what I can tell the mate bond is getting stronger if she didn't have any feelings for Valenzano she would have never gotten into a fight with his ex.
"Damn Cleo you had one hell of a day", I say in shock she literally within five hours expected different emotions at the same time.
"Yup...one hell of a day and I intend to avoid Valenzano today I might spend the day with Daniels and Jack.
"I will join you I will just have to tell West", I like Jack and Daniels I hope they can join the pack.
"Whatever happened to Avaya anyway...I just want to make sure no one killed her", I said to Jazz.
"Unfortunately, no one did...she was exiled and left within the hour Valenzano gave her", I say not caring what happens to her.
"Okay well at least no one from the pack harmed her", she says with pity.
"On another note, West and I talked about him marking me and we are going to do it.", I say with excitement.
"Omg that's great when are you going to let him mark you", she asked excitedly for me.
"When he is ready, I guess", I said sounding disappointed.
"When he is ready...I thought he was ready", Cleo says with a confused look on her face.
"I thought he was too… I thought he was waiting for me to ask him, but our conversation informed me otherwise", I say with a little hurt.
"Why? ...what happened", she says with concern.
"He said that marking me leads to pups, and turning me", I said with a hint of sadness.
"What's the problem is that what you want.... what he wants", now she is confused.
"Yes, we both want that! But West told me the dangers of humans carrying wolf pups and a human turning into a werewolf. And he seems like he has been battling himself about it", I said trying not to cry.
"So, what happened after the conversation with him?", she asked rubbing her back.
"We came to the conclusion that if I am okay with the risks he should be too, and he is going to mark me.... just when he feels when the time is right", I said kind of happy.
"What are the risks", she asked I am afraid if I tell her she will try to change my mind, or she may look at her situation with Valenzano differently.
I explain to her the risk that West told me about. She looked scared but I told her with modern medicine it wouldn't be that bad. West is only thinking the worst because this pack haven turned anyone ever.... everyone, here was either born a werewolf or made on in another back. I would be the first human-turned-werewolf from this pack.
And I know it scares him, but I want pups and I want to be with him until death. Cleo makes the worst facial expressions I have no idea what she is thinking or what she might say once I am done.
"Welp, Jazz I understand your and West’s point of view and if this is what you want, I will be there to hold your hand", she says with a smile.
"Really?!, Cleo yes really… I just want to add I don't envy you it sounds like you will be in a lot of pain turning.... glad I don't have that problem", I say jokingly.
I leave for her to get dressed so we can spend the day with Jack and Daniels. We leave and go into the dungeon they guys are in there acting like the cells are resort rooms. Cleo made sure they felt at home and not like they are prisoners in a dungeon.
I fill them in on what is happening with me and West, and Cleo gives them updates on what's going on with her. We play spades, dominos, and other games until we realized it was 10 at night, and Cleo and I head in for the night. I hope she takes the advice we gave her. Better yet she should listen to her heart.
