56 Bella Aston looked at her and shrugged , then connected a mind link to her , Mala and Simon Like I said Bella , Im actually curious .
He stated down it something feels off to me .
Even Im getting the feeling he doesnt know , Mala commented , and his annoyance and anger appeared real over this and your reaction to him , that being ; your uncaring attitude about it , is notching that up in him even .
It does kind of feel like he was in the dark , and had no knowledge of his child .
Aston murmured This is why I allowed the meeting to go ahead .
Simon and I both picked that up last night .
He is confused , I think , about you and him having a child .
Its a full curiosity .
Aston stated .
Id like to see where he goes with this .
Bell ? Hes got to be playing dumb or … maybe one too many hits to the head and got some memory loss .
Bella stated .
She heard Mala snort full amused at her words , she also knew that Parker and his unit knew they were holding a private conversation between the four of them .
She was released from it and looked at him , he didnt look too happy about being excluded from it , actually look annoyed on the verge of being in a temper , she thought .
I still dont see an issue .
She told him .
She saw more annoyance but then watched him rein it in and take a breath , count to ten she thought , before he spoke , That child is my heir , Belladonna .
You know yourself I wanted that with you .
For us to have a child together .
Mm , I did .
She agreed , and he had , though that last email hed denied that , made it out as though shed read that into their relationship , but it had also been one of the last things hed said to her prior to him leaving and meeting Carina .
Now she wondered if hed written that in there just to try and appease his Goddess Gifted who was pregnant , to keep her happy and put less stress on her , or have her direct anger at him .
She wouldnt argue about it .
He is my heir now , and my son is happy and well adjusted , likes living here .
she told him honestly and Whit was happy , loved living with all those other kids .
We had a detailed mating alliance , with a pups clause in it , Parker stated flatly .
She acknowledged and sipped her coffee once more , I didnt breach it .
she stated 1/4 56 and nearly laughed at his more than annoyed expression , yes play that card itll get your nowhere she thought to herself amusingly , not only had she checked it , so had the Wolfen Council .
Though her amusement wasnt just at him , Freya was sitting up inside of her mind , chortling , also amused by this turn of events I think youre right , one too many hits to that head of his , hes forgotten the agreement .
Her wolf stated .
I signed all the exit clauses , Kane knows this , nothing was missed , Parker .
She reminded him , he would have had to lay eyes on it , even though hed left his Beta to attend that .
You took my heir , Belladonna .
He grated out .
No , I raised my heir , you have no claim on him .
She repeated herself .
Because I didnt bloody know about him .
He snarled right at her , all angry now .
Bella stared right at him , that was not the response she was expecting to come from him at all .
She frowned at him for a long time .
Watch your temper , Parker .
Mala stated flatly .
F
Our mating alliance stated all heirs were to stay with me .
he bit out , trying to rein in his temper .
Bella nodded because in part he was right , those words were in it .
You might want to go home and read the fine print on that clause she smiled at him .
Because I believe it reads that all pups born inside of the mate bond , were to be relinquished to you … she paused for a moment to let him think about it , let them all think about that .
My child , however , was born ou tside of the mate bond , therefore , is mine and not yours .
If you wish to play that card , youll not win , I assure you .
She told him .
What ? he was frowning , and she could see him really thinking about it .
She watched him turn and actually look at his Beta .
Kane shook his head at him .
Sorry Parker , I dont actually recall the exact wording of it anymore .
Though I do know we both signed the pups clause , ticked the no pups box , on that separation agreement .
Kane stated .
That we did .
Bella stated .
You lied to me , Belladonna .
I dont understand why you would do that .
Was I such a terrible monster to you ? A brute of a mate ? he asked .
No , you werent .
she shook her head , But I suggest you go home , Parker , Im not giving up 2/4 56 +8 Point my son to you now , just because after all this time you want to finally claim him .
You also have a Goddess Gifted Mate , brought her right into the pack , stood her right in front of me , as proof youd found her .
She watched his jaw tighten .
That does not negate you and I having a child , and youre keeping me from him .
I never did that , not for a single second .
She told him , and shed not , she had agreed to the Wolfen Council contacting him and trying to sort it out , even , the very day shed arrived there , the day after shed found out she was pregnant .
So , no shed not kept him from his pup .
Yes , you did , Ive never seen our child , not once laid eyes on him , I didnt even know about him , dont even know if I had a son or daughter , or didnt until just now in this very room when you stated the word , son .
He glared at her .
You never asked , not once if the pup was a boy or a girl .
Didnt care to know is how I recall it .
She countered .
How the hell could I ask , when I didnt bloody know .
He snarled at her .
Oh , come on Parker , you were informed before he was born .
So , dont go yelling at me about that , that is on you .
Its not my fault if you dont recall , be warned , Alpha Parker , Freya is more than annoyed with your aggression and doesnt like your tone right this very minute .
She saw him blink at those words , and he was just staring at her .
She wasnt sure if it was the threat of Freya or her telling him hed been informed .
When did you inform me ? he stated , reining in his temper once more , though there was still full annoyance to be heard in his voice .
Like I just said , before he was even born .
A few days after I found out .
Dont lie to me , Belladonna .
I think I would recall that .
Parker frowned at her .
Yes , one would think you would .
She nodded , didnt understand why he didnt remember .
But Id say you were to wrapped up in your love bubble with Carina , your Goddess Gifted .
His jaw was ticking now , and she watched his eyes move to Aston .
Id like to meet my son .
He stated , clearly having had enough of dealing with her .
Thats going to be difficult , Im afraid , Alpha Parker , Aston stated .
How about you go home and dig out your mating alliance and separation agreement and then come back with them for another discussion .
Ill just call Alpha Gretta , Aston .
Bella interrupted them .
She can deal with this , said she 3/4 56 would if it ever happened.
Alpha Gretta ? As in … Parkers words trailed off , and she could see his brain ticking now .
She knew he would know there was an Alpha Gretta on the Alpha Council .
She looked at him now , perhaps there was actually more going on here than anyone understood .
Alpha Gretta of the Wolfen Council , she clarified , to him , seeing as he seemed to want that , I went to work for them when I left the pack .
she told him .
He stared at her more than shocked now .
Had he forgotten that as well ? Or was there indeed something else going on ? jennifer francis full moon bonus
