Beautiful Savage

Chapter 6: Planning

Jayden wanted everything to be perfect. Instead of sitting and relaxing like a pregnant woman should, she walked around ordering people how to decorate. Because Luca and I were there, Hayden and his beta was there to keep a close eye on us. Luca was making table center pieces while I watched Jayden carefully. She looked really stressed and pissed off.

"Jay", Nate said softly to his mate and Jayden glared at him "you need to sit and relax, it's not good for the baby"

"Nate, I will choke you if you don't get away!", she growled viciously and Nate backed up a little "I can't relax because these idiots can't get anything right!". Nate backed away with his hands up and sat back down next to Hayden. I rolled my eyes and stood.

"Where do you think you're going?", Hayden asked and I gave him my death glare

Can I just snap his neck real quick? Athena asked and I smirked. I walked over to Jayden and hugged her. Not a one arm hug or a fake ass hug, a real warm bear hug making sure I made room for her belly. There was silence then a small whimper as Jayden started to cry, she dropped everything and hugged me back.

"You're stressed and tired", I whispered petting her head "please sit and relax, I'll finish everything here"

"Really?", she asked sniffling and I smiled

"Of course, what are friends for?". She smiled back then waddled to a table where she sat and put her feet up. I sighed, picked up the clipboard she dropped and looked at the list. Some of the things were done, but by the rate they were going, it won't be finished. I took a box of decorations and threw it at Hayden.

"Do it for your sister, lazy ass", I said when I heard his growl "hang those front the windows"

"Bitch!", I heard him say under his breath, but I ignored it. It's been a month since he took Luca and I from our pack. Thankfully, his twin sister Jayden took us in and I didn't have to see his face. He obviously still doesn't trust me, even though he was the one that took me from my home.

When Nate visits, he watchs me like a hawk and no doubt he reports back to his Alpha like a good puppy. Hayden does visit every now and then to "check up on" Jayden, and he doesn't try to hid that he's just watching me. One time he accused me of trying to poison Jayden, when she throw up after having a breakfast I cooked. It was morening sickness.

Jayden, however, was a joy to be around. To my surprise, she and I have become friends and Luca loves playing with her. She said to me before that not many of the women from the pack visit her, so having me around was good. Other than helping her with the rouge case, I do help her around the house. Tomorrow is her baby shower and she's been going batshit crazy about how everything needs to be perfect.

"Oh hi, may I help you?", a man said when I entered the kitchen "I'm Jonathan, Jayden's cousin and also the head chef when it comes to events like this"

"Ariel", I replied shaking his hand and he nodded

"So you're Jay's new guest", he exclaimed sitting on one of the stools and I raised an eyebrow "I call sometimes to make sure she doing well, she mentions you here and there"

"You live in town?", I asked curiously and he nodded

"A few houses down from her", he answered then clapped his hands together "so what can I do for you?"

"I'm helping Jayden plan the shower, she's been stressing too much", I commented and he chuckled "so she has a request for two five tier cakes and over a hundred cake pops"
