Valenzano POV: Talking to Cleo I can feel the hurt she has been holding, and I can smell the fear coming from her. She needs her to understand she will not leave here with my pups and she is protected here. She needs to work on her communication skills. All of this drama could have been avoided if she just would have told me her story from the beginning. And that bastard Hunter, how could he have left Cleo after their loss? He had the nerve to think after he blew his chance with her he could come in a take her from me. Now I understand her attachment to him, they have a child together. I hope the pups she is carrying will fill that void in her. I can tell by the way she was telling me her story she still feels the loss of that child. I wish I could tell her how much I understand the pain
