100 Parker Parker had stopped walking as a thought occurred to him about Freya and how Belladonna had come to be here .
Freya is likely to be a Wolf of Destiny herself , she can override your own wolf , control you , I think , which means , the day you were Alpha Ordered to be my mate and not fight against it .
She allowed , and then after that she would have heard about myself , my pack as well .
You were in the room .
Freya was in agreement to have you leave that place and come here … I was the better option for you to live under .
Even I think that , Belladonna nodded .
You treated me better than anyone inside the home pack , as did the pack members here .
What if it was a test ? he asked thoughtfully .
And it went right up until you and I rejected each other , my letting you go .
Eight years you were here , and even I knew it was your heat that brought about pups … even now , this could be a test in Freyas eyes .
My willingness not to just take Whit from you … Freya could well be testing me to see if I was the right person to leave you with … it kind of made sense to him , considering how long Freya had been protecting Belladonna and her wolf , and now she had to leave .
Maybe all that time with Belladonna was about finding her the right place to live , somewhere that was safe , and no harm would come to her .
That is a long game ; 18 years .
She frowned at him .
Mm not really in the grand scheme of things .
We have very long lives and knowing what your heat did , and now hearing you explain super moons to me … An Alpha that was cruel or obsessed with money and or the growth of their pack , would never have let you leave if theyd figured it out .
He sighed now , Some would sell you to others to be used by them , even use you themselves at times .
Which I am not going to do .
Im also still happy for you and Whit to return to the Hollowed Moon if you want .
Though hearing this from you , I think travelling under full guard would be best .
He watched as she shook her head .
Belladonna , if anyone finds out , youll be at risk out there .
Theyll also likely think Milly is or could be the same as you , he told her as they stopped walking .
I cant let you drive back alone , itll have to be under a full escort .
144 < 100 +8 Pointá I cant leave , Freya said I have to stay.here until the triplets are born .
She looked right at him and his gut told him there was more to that statement only she wasnt willing to part with it Freya is never wrong about pups , she sighed If I leave … Bridgit will likely die , maybe the triplets as well .
she murmured softly Im needed here for now .
He stared at her at that very news .
He didnt want Bridgit to die .
It was not a nice thought at all .
He sighed himself Decisions are still being made for you , I see , he muttered .
Freya was still controlling her .
But that one , is good for you also .
Even for Whit .
She told him .
I get that Belladonna .
But I want you to stay here , not because its good for those around you , but because you want to , he stated , and he did mean that .
Though he also thought that there was no better place for her than inside the Hollowed Moon if she wasnt here .
A place she would be surrounded by warriors and elites , have and Alpha and Luna that would always protect her .
Shed been safe there as much as she had been here with him .
I can think about it , Parker , over the months that I will be here , she stated .
It will give me time to make that decision on my own … though .
She trailed off .
Though ? he prompted .
Ill be bored s ** t less and need something to do .
He laughed at her words .
Hed never heard her say that before You may help out in the pack hospital if you want , not work there every day , but help out .
Though what will you do with Milly on those days ? Whit I can put into the pack school .
Likely Ill put her in the pack crèche if youre alright with that .
She looked at him questioningly .
He nodded .
But this is something youll need to discuss with Whit and Milly .
Not up to me , Im happy to have you all here but if they want to go back .
Whit will be fine with it and Milly is four , though Ill have to be at the crèche with her a few times , she may not like it with all new people around her .
He nodded , her daughter had trauma If not perhaps with Shannon and Nicky , they have a pup she gets along with , and she is starting to come around to me as well .
Mm , because you bribed her with desserts.
Belladonna shook her head , though smiled a little at the same time .
I know , but those desserts were more for you than the children , he told her , and they had 2/4 < 100 been .
+8 Points > They arrived at the pack library , and he accessed the archives , and they stepped into the room .
It looked much the same as the actual library , only it had fewer books in here .
More important books that needed to be kept safe .
All the books on wolf types are in here .
he stated .
Do you read wolfen ? he asked , knowing all the Wolves of Destiny books were old and in Wolfen .
I do not .
She sighed heavily .
Its alright .
he stated , Ill see if there has been a translation made .
Ive not checked that in a while .
And he hadnt , because he could read and write wolfen .
Had taken that course when younger before taking over , had to study it in Nightingale , gone there right out of Alpha College .
You can if I recall correctly , Belladonna stated .
Yes , something that comes in handy from time to time , and when I retire I can become an archivist and sit leisurely and read all day at my own pace .
No one can rush an archivist unless they want mistakes .
He chuckled to himself .
I thought youd just work on as an elder at the head office , Belladonna stated as they walked about the room .
Only if needed , if that is what Whit or the other children want , and I wont do that until all of them are through Alpha College .
He told her because that was his plan .
All of them ? she frowned at him .
Yes, Id like a few more , he told her honestly .
We discussed this previously , Parker reminded her .
Oh , I kind of forgot , one child for each of the subsidiary packs .
Mm … here we are .
He stopped walking at a bookcase that had a small plaque that read Wolf Types .
There were many books on the shelves , wolfen and human translations .
He found the books marked Wolves of Destiny , and he ran his finger along the covers as he read the titles ; Cobalt Wolf , Blood Wolf , Amethyst Wolf , Emerald Wolf and then Citron Wolf .
It had been translated , which was good , because no wolfen books were allowed to leave the archives .
Parker plucked if from the shelf and handed it to Belladonna , as she looked at the other titles , there were many types of wolves and some were simply in those books because they had specific traits or looks .
Where records showed certain things always happened to wolves with 3/4 +8 Points > < 100 specific lineage ; Genealogy was big in the otherworldly realm .
He even had books on interspecies breeding and the powers that could come from different cross breeds , as well as half breeds or double shifters , even hybrids .
Everything interested wolfen genealogists and some of those books were very interesting reads themselves .
