Part 4 ; Annoyance & Amusement Parker He was sitting in the foyer of the Hollowed Moon staring out the window , he and his wolves had arrived an hour ago , and he was tempted to stroll down to the pack hospital , to find Belladonna , to talk to her .
Wanted to talk to her about her life and what was going on in it .
He was more than curious about her and the life she had lived .
When he saw a whole bunch of children go running passed the front of the packhouse , all laughing , carrying presents .
Off to a birthday party , he thought absently to himself as a smile touched his face .
Everyone here always seemed happy .
Though his smile , after only a moment faulted , as his wolf , Vex , shot up inside his mind and the word ours was snarled out of his beast , completely out of the blue .
He felt Kanes hand land on him , his Beta had felt the sudden change in his Alpha Wolf .
Parker was up a second later and headed outside , his entire unit trailing him , but he lost sight of the children as he moved through the foyer to the front of the packhouse and his eyes only found them once again , when outside those children were still racing away along the packhouse .
Vex was certain one of them was his pup , he could feel there was a kin bond being snapped into place .
Parker held himself to the spot , it wasnt possible , those children all looked to be under 12.
Vex had to be wrong , and in a group like that , he couldnt tell which child it was , hadnt actually been face to face with them .
Just seen them all running by , though the window had looked at many of their happy smiling faces , likely so had Vex , and hed seen something Parker had not .
He had no idea if it was a boy or a girl , didnt even know if he truly believed what was happening right this minute , it couldnt be .
Surely his beast had to be wrong .
He turned and walked back inside as those children disappeared around the corner of the building .
He needed to think about it .
Had they been wrong ? Not wrong .
We have a pup .
Vex snarled at him .
How ? Parker asked his beast .
Theyd had two mates in the past 17 years , with no break between them .
He was faithful to both of them , there was only a few hours break between Belladonna and Carina , and hed not slept with anyone at all in that time it would cause Carina pain .
It was confusing to him .
What is it , Parker ? Kane asked him .
1/4 3 Points Part 4 ; Annoyance & Amusement Our suite , now .
He stated flatly and stalked off .
He could feel annoyance rolling off his beast .
Vex , wanted Parker to go out there and track that kin bond , to find out who their pup was .
But Parker knew that he couldnt just go all Alpha on this pack , it was nearly a thousand strong , a full warrior pack .
Hed likely lose his head and so would his unit .
Going out there and trying to claim a child he knew nothing about , not even who the mother was , would be seen as an aggressive act that could well start a war .
Though his brain was now ticking like crazy on who the possibility of that childs mother was .
It couldnt be though , she would have told him , she wasnt heartless and cruel .
Also knew he would have been happy about it .
Parker banged into his suite on the first floor and stopped in the middle of the room .
His unit were all just standing staring at him , waiting for an explanation to come from him about his sudden change of mood .
Vex has sensed a kin bond with one of those children that just ran by the packhouse .

He stated flatly .
His unit were really staring at him now , with very wide eyes , and he knew why they couldnt fathom it either .
He scrubbed a hand over his face as he heard Kane state An heir to your pack , here inside the Hollowed Moon ? Apparently so , he nodded .
You didnt sense that the last time you were here , Parker .
Shannon murmured , sounding thoughtful .
I did not .
Parker agreed with his Gamma , Though I dont really recall coming across any children when last here .
He stated thoughtfully to himself , and if he didnt know about the child , that meant that he and Vex would have to lay eyes on it to feel that kin bond snap into place , or gotten close enough to smell the childs bloodline .
Hed also not been looking for that .
Why would he be ? It wasnt like being in your own pack where the minute they set foot on your pack territory you could feel it , the land reacted to the bloodline , and ones wolf picked it up very quickly and hunted out what was theirs , even if they didnt know about it , could feel it .
An unknown heir to them off pack territory meant one had to lay eyes on the child , or come face to face with them directly to have that kin bond snap into place .
Hed not really been paying attention to what the children looked like , just watched them run on by and thought they looked happy .
Those kids werent that old , not teens .
Axel stated .
2/4 Part 4 Annoyance & Arri No.
he agreed Id say 12 and under .
Then how is it possible ? Shannon asked him now .
There is only one possibility in my eyes … Belladonna .
He sighed , hed never have let her go if shed told him she was pregnant .
He thought back to that , him and her , shed gone into heat prior to him leaving to go to that mating ball .
I didnt sense anything about a pup prior to her leaving .
He murmured She didnt smell any different to me .
I also didnt get anything from her that day , Parker , Shannon stated , and I would have , seeing as I had my hands on her .
To help ease the pain of rejection … there was nothing , she didnt think once about a pup .
Didnt have any fear of trying to hide it from you , nothing like that .
His Gamma shook his head And she leaned on me , allowed me to willingly help her , was completely open to me as her Gamma .
I was also with her all afternoon , Kane stated .
Nothing at all .
We went through that mating alliance and separation agreement step by step .
I actually looked at her when it came to the pups clause , knowing shed gone into heat prior to us going away , I sensed nothing on that front myself , and I did try .
He sighed and shook his head .
Im confused .
Then its likely she didnt know that she was , Shannon commented .
It cant be anyone elses .
Ive only been with Belladonna and Carina , in the past 17 years .
Loyal and faithful to both my Mate Bonds .
Its not Carinas , so it has to be Belladonnas , that pup … would be nine now , he muttered .
He had an unknown heir out there , well , here , inside this pack , that was nine years old and likely knew nothing about him .
She never said anything when she saw me the last time I was here .
he muttered , and could once again feel more annoyance welling inside of him , though there was a little bit of anger coming from Vex .
Shed on purposely hidden the fact theyd had a child together , then had taken his child from him , knowing full well hed wanted to have one with her .
Denied him the rights to his own heir .
Calm down , Parker .
Kane sighed .
Ill go and take a wander and see what I can scent out .
The child will scent , to me , like you as much as her .
he raised a hand to stop his own Beta from doing that .
Were inside a full warrior pack , we cant go causing trouble like that .
I have to be 100 % certain , and Ill have to approach this diplomatically , though Vex wants to rip out of me and hunt his pup .
3/4 Pomt Part 4 , Annoyance & Amusement That will start a hell of a fight , Axel murmured .
I hear everyone trains , which means Bella would to .
We never saw her fight , dont know her actual strength , and we never once saw her beast .
Couldnt be called out .
Parker nodded , which likely indicated that Freya was going to be stronger than him and Vex .
He needed time to think about this , he couldnt and wouldnt get into a physical fight with Belladonna .
His son or daughter , who knew nothing about him in all likelihood , would hate him and Vex for it .
He did not want that .
