Chapter 12

**ELLA**
After Jonathan tried to cut off the young man's hand, everyone had to intervene to separate them. Alpha George repeatedly apologized for his son's behavior and promised he would not cause trouble again. Jonathan only wanted to chase them on the spot but Blake convinced him that it would be good to hear them first and so they went to the office to start the meeting.
So the whole afternoon passed, with me staying in Mia's room and watching TV enjoying our favorite snacks.
"Well?"
"What?" I asked my friend a question.
"You did not tell me details."
"I have nothing to say."
"I always lose the best."
"Because you like to sleep constantly." I laughed with her.
"Do you know how many days they will be here?" I asked her when I stopped laughing.
"Two days, Blake told me." She answered me and I nob my head.
Not many, I can easily avoid him, not that I am afraid of him, but the same does not have to happen again. They have come to sign a peace treaty and the beloved companion was ready to take his head.
"Tomorrow afternoon we will have a barbecue outside in their honor," Mia told me, interrupting my thoughts.
"It will be nice."
"Yes, as before, remember?"
I sighed at her question. Of course, I remember, my mom organizes once a month, to gather the whole pack and spend our time happily.
"Well, I miss them too." She hugged me, realizing that I was upset.
-My love, we are done, I will wait for you in the room.
-I am coming.
Only with his voice does this man manage to cheer me up in a minute.
I immediately got up from Mia's bed explaining that they were finished and he was waiting for me. I started laughing at her reaction, as she jumped to her feet as if she was electrocuted and started running to get ready for Blake to find her presenter. I shook my head and left her room.
When I got into mine, I found Jonathan already there, lying on the bed with his back to the headrest. He looked up from the documents he was reading to look at me and smiled.
I will never get bored of seeing him smile, he could very well be a model for one of the most expensive magazines in the world, I feel so lucky to have him by my side.
He opened his arms mention me to lie down next to him, he left his papers next to the nightstand and lie on his chest, I took a deep breath, smelling his scent, which I like so much. He rested his cheek on his head and stroked his back.
"I do not want you to come in contact with Leo." He said suddenly, and I felt him clench his jaw. I raised my head to look at him
"Who?"
"George's son."
"Why?"
"Because I know him better and you can trust me, he respects nothing."
"Okay." I simply answered him and kissed him on the cheek. I do not want either Leo or anyone to spoil our mood. I got up to change my clothes and put on my pajamas, and I went back to his arms to finally sleep peacefully.
The next morning passed quickly with the preparations for dinner, everyone had a job to do since the whole pack would gather in the evening. I was helping in the kitchen, and in preparing the food, while Mia and Olivia were out in the garden decorating the place.
Jonathan from the moment we finished our breakfast, which we enjoyed on our balcony, something that seemed strange to me, but I'm sure he did it to avoid unnecessary meetings, he went to his office and has not seen him since.
He wants to finish as quickly as possible with the procedures for alpha George and Leo to leave the house. Although I find it excessive, I intend to keep my opinion to myself. Whoever has a mind knows much better than getting between a male ware wolf and the sense of protection he feels for his mate.
When the preparations were finally over, I went up to my room to take a bath and change my clothes. I tried to contact Jonathan via the mind link but he never answered. He bothered me because I thought that for me at least he will have it open if I need him, something that I will talk to him about when I see him.
I glanced in the mirror to see if everything was okay with me. My red dress reaches to my knees, and I have let my hair down freely, I can not decide what to do with them, but as always my best friend came to save me from what dilemma. She came in with Olivia, both dressed in dresses. Mia wore a white dress with small flowers while Olivia wore a long green one which looked perfect on her.
"Still getting ready?" Mia asked me and I looked at her apologetically, showing my hair. She rolled her eyes.
"Come sit down and I will help you." She told me and brought me a chair to sit on and started combing my hair.
"I will do your makeup," Olivia said, clapping her hands and leaving the room to bring everything she needed. In a very short time, they were both above me and working with my hair and face as if I were a barbie.
"You are perfect."
"Yes, Jonathan will not come off you."
"Yes, you as he did it before."
While my friends were joking with each other, I was looking in the mirror. They did a great job, my hair is a very nice French braid and the makeup is natural, just the way I like it.
"Well, when you're done looking, let's go, they've already started to gather outside," Mia said laughing.
"Yes, let's go," I answered her and we started for the garden.

Out in the garden when they were very nicely organized, and the people were already gathered in groups and talking and the children were running around laughing. I looked around the world but Jonathan was nowhere to be found, but how long would this meeting last, I wondered.
"'Let's go sit down," Olivia said next to me
"What are you looking for?"
"Jonathan..." I started telling her, but she interrupted me.
"He doesn't respond to your mind link, and Cole to me every time they have an important meeting. Let's go, they will come, don’t worry."
"Yes, today we will have fun, do not think about it," Mia added.
As we passed among the people, everyone greeted us and stopped us several times to talk to us until we reached our table. They immediately came and served us food and drinks, but I discreetly got up from the table since I was not in the mood to eat. I walked to the back of the house, where there were no people, I always liked to come here, the flower beds are full of many kinds of flowers and they are always calm. If it was dark enough, I went a little further to sit on a bench under a tree. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath enjoying all the scents.
"I found you."
I heard a voice behind me and opened my eyes to see him.
"Leo?"
"Finally, we are alone."
"How can I help you?" I asked him.
"You know, your mate is busy with my dad right now."
"I know that," I said interrupt him while I look back at the house.
"Do you want to come for a walk with me?" He had now approached me and I get up from the bench.
"I don’t think it's a good idea." I tried to answer him kindly but inside me, all I can feel is my stomach twist, the way he looks at me is like a predator ready to attack his prey.
