Chapter Thirty
The next morning Jena finished up her video calls and turned her attention to the paperwork. She couldnât wait for this to all be over so she could enjoy her home.
It had to be over before the wedding and before she gave birth. This was old business she didnât want to carry over. Not that she had a choice, she mused.
A twinge in her stomach made her grimace. Jena rubbed her belly.
âShould I get Autumn?â Apple asked.
âNo. It was just a pain. Itâs gone. She drummed her fingers on the desk and stared out the window missing Jorja ⦠so Jena called her.
âHello, Jena,â Jorja said warmly. âHow is my beautiful fiancée?â
âMissing you,â she said. âI want you home tonight.â
âWeâll see. I have something to take care of,â Jorja told her.
âBusiness? Canât you let someone else take care of it?â
âNo,â she said. âItâs something I have to do myself.â
âOkay. Just come home after,â Jena ordered. âI just want to be with you.â
The silence made her tense.
âJorja, please tell me you arenâtââ
âIâm not,â she cut in. âI just have to finish something. I want to take care of as much of this as I can before our wedding. The day is fast approaching.â
âIâm glad youâre thinking about me,â Jena murmured. âI miss you.â
âI miss you, too, gorgeous.â
âOkay, well, finish doing what you have to, so you can come home to me tonight.â
âWill do. Love you.â
âI love you, too.â Jena smiled and ended the call. She got to her feet. âApple, do you want some tea or coffee?â
âTea would be nice. Iâll get it.â
âNo. Iâll bring it back.â She headed to the kitchen where Derren and Autumn were having what looked like coffee and talking.
Derren got to his feet. âMy Queen, what can I get you?â
âMy Queen.â Autumn gave her a nod.
âIâd like some tea, please, for Apple and a milkshake for me. Chocolate caramel.â
Derren gave her a smile and moved to wash up.
âAre you feeling okay?â Autumn asked. âIs the exercise too much for you along with the training?â
âNo. It gives me something to take my mind off being out here,â she said.
âHow are the wedding plans coming?â
âFine,â Jena said. âWe just have to do another tasting and the food will be set, but itâs not like itâs that big a deal.â
âItâs not,â Derren told her. âI can whip up a meal for fifty to seventy-five people.â
âWeâre not having that many, but I was thinking of having the ceremony televised and having some kind of feast planned for those who canât be there. Do you think the packs will be insulted?â
âBy you throwing a party in the respective dens on the happy day?â he asked. âI think theyâd be ecstatic to share it with you two.â
âGreat. Who do I need to consult to get things put together?â
âIâll take care of it,â he told her. âThe packs are all planning to get you two gifts. Can you get Apple to handle the intake?â
âYes.â She smiled. âMake sure you get names. I want to send each one a personal thank you.
