128 Belladonna She stepped into her suite and put that call into Alpha Aston .
It was early , but also Saturday morning , and though she knew he wouldnt be training at this hour , she also knew that he wouldnt be in his office either .
He would still be in his family suite with Mala and the children .
So she had to call his mobile number , not something that a pack member would do .
But her calling him from outside the pack , it was completely acceptable that she would call him on his mobile at any time of the day .
They were also likely expecting her to call at some point .
Shed already spoken with him once this week about not having a wolf , that , from her understanding of what Parker had seen , Selena had ripped Freya from her .
Hed not really said much on that front , just sighed a little and murmured To be expected .
And that had been it .
He picked up the call on the fifth ring , Bell , is everything alright ? Yes , Aston .
Sorry to call so early on a Saturday , I know its family time but … she sighed .
Its fine Bell , were just sitting having breakfast , youre not interrupting anything .
If you were , I wouldnt answer the phone .
She could hear the smile in his voice .
Im guessing youre going .
to stay there , and wanted to give me as much notice as possible .
He stated simply , Mala and I I were expecting it , Bell .
Its a bit complicated , shed sighed to herself .
What is so complicated ? he asked , sounding a little curious to her .
I got my wolf , or well , half of her I guess .
She can push forward and speak and heal me , cant be out of me until the full moon .
but Oh … well , that is good news , shes healed you , so I can take it that youre out of the hospital ? Has she got a name ? he asked now .
Yes , and her name is Venus .
She sank down on the couch in her suite , There is more , bit confused .
Im a Hmm , I dare say , with all those emotions Freya suppressed for a lifetime , you are very confused .
How is that going ? Are you still being overwhelmed by everything ? No … I just … I dont even know how to explain it .
she murmured softly .
State it simply and plainly : Dont concern yourself with the words .
That is the best way .
What is wrong ? Aston asked .
Venus , after she came forth , and it was only yesterday after lunch , well , she sighed .
Thought I could not scent a mate out , I can feel the sparks of a Mate Bond when touched .
Ah , and who pray tell is the wolf youre talking about ? he sounded a little happy or amused , she thought .
Its Parker .
She sighed .
And youre now confused about that ? Yes , to be honest .
I think … Venus was always his Mate .
She knew the whole time , Freya denied it and , well , its just weird now .
He was quiet for a long moment .
Why is it weird ? A Mate is a Mate , and you didnt hate him , liked his pack , stated he was respectful .
So , youre thinking what ? Do you not want to go there again , even though hes your Goddess Gifted ? Never harmed you , and is the father of your child , I dont know how to handle him … she muttered .
Aston chuckled now , Oh , so he knows as well and is playing with you , in a way youve never had to deal with before .
He didnt just claim you ? I didnt know he knew , not really until late last night and then his actions this morning .
The things he said confirmed it for me .
Though hes still not told me he knows , but he definitely knows that I feel the Mate Bond .
He picked that up very quickly .
Embarrassed me with it as well , How so ? Aston murmured , though still sounded amused to her ear .
Its I dont know how to explain it … Ive never felt anything like it before .
My heart raced and I kind of ran away from him , she muttered .
It was more than embarrassing to react like that .
She was a fully grown adult with children , knew what s * x was , actually enjoyed it even .
She heard Aston burst out laughing .
Its not funny .
She muttered .
Oh , I bet Parker thought it was , and likely if hes got the Mate Bond on his end , he thinks its adorable .
Get all excited about it as well and want to tease you with it to elicit that reaction from you .
Ive never … well felt anything where men are concerned , so its a bit … oh I dont know .
She 128 huffed .
Just accept it , if youre calling to tell me youre staying there , does that mean youll be accepting him as your Mate once more ? Yes , its also what Venus wants .
I know its what Whit wants too , and Im pretty darn certain .
that with all the bonding going on with Milly , its just a matter of time before she calls him Daddy .
She shook her head .
What do you want ? it was Mala now , and Bella blinked .
She hadnt realised she was there at all .
Ive gotten to know him , Mala , and I know what he wants .
Hes made it plainly clear and well … I do know hed never hurt me and , with a proper mate bond , well work out .
Mala , I just … never really felt like this before .
Hmm , I understand .
It was weird for me with Aston at first .
He was a persistent man .
Mala chuckled , but he always told me and showed me how he felt .
I trusted him , got all shy around him at times .
Ben teased me alot about it .
I dare say what youre feeling now is how I felt then .
And ? Bella asked .
Look at us , Bell , Aston and I are very happy .
I dare say you and Parker will be as well .
Though that mating alliance I will want that signed and emailed over , youll always have this pack as your backing .
Well be allied packs if you accept him .
What mating alliance ? I dont know if I want another one of those attached to he and I.
she sighed heavily ; Shed missed something along the way .
Its just a basic agreement .
Parker also refused to put any clauses in it other than he would protect you and both children , and give you whatever you want , Aston told her now .
We insisted on there being one , but kind of knew youd be against it as well .
So was Parker , but he also saw a need for it on our end , and its tailored to you , not him .
Bell sighed and shook her head , but could only suppose it was always going to happen .
It was actually normal with Alpha blooded wolves , which she was .
Im going to accept him , she acknowledged just … I suppose its a bit awkward is all , our bond will snap into place for both of us on the full moon , but its also the moment when Venus will come , and I dont know what will happen .
It Aston I would be prepared for his Alpha Wolf to hunt Mark and Mate your Alpha Wolf , before you and Parker get to .
Your beast has been hidden for a long time , and his never 34 120 got to mate yours .
There will likely be wolfen angst there on both sides .
Just go with it .
Once youre marked and mated , I dare say youll be fine and those moments with Parker , might or might not continue .
He could well be a completely tant person from who you knew .
With a full and true Mate Bond in place , he might be playful all the time .
Mala found me a little different when we were coming together .
Different , you would growl at me down the mind link for no reason at all and then just bloody hunt me .
You horny bastard .
Mala chuckled .
Aston laughed , Hmm that was because i was thinking about you .
How can I not be when I knew what I wanted ? On that note , Bell , this horny bastard is going to hang up to hunt his Mate .
Call us after the full moon .
And then the line disconnected .
She heard Venus snort inside her mind , Pup number five for them about to be made .
What ? Bella sighed .
You can tell that ? Hmm , it wasnt all Freya .
She knew what I could do and allowed it to happen .
She just wouldnt let us have attachments to those that might hurt us .
Cruel but kind at the same time , I understand , but it pained me not to be a part of your life , for you to never know I was event there .
I both hate and love her at the same time .
Venus murmured .
Well be okay Venus , I dont think Parker would ever treat us unkindly , or slave us out .
She murmured .
Freya would come back and kill him if he did .
Her wrath knows no bounds at times .
She still hates the fairy realm .
Wont go there .
What ? Bella frowned .
Being bound by her gave me a little insight into her when she dreamed , I saw it .
Venus huffed , Her life is painful and lonely .
Filled with betrayal , not even our Goddess was spared the pains of betrayal .
Bella sighed as she leaned back on the couch .
Seems none are .
She sighed and heard the doorbell chime to her suite , got up to answer it and found her old and her soon to be again Lunas unit standing out there .
She smiled at them .
