132 Parker They were driving into Oklahoma City for their day of shopping .
Whit had come back without Milly though , and so it was just the two of them .
Shed not wanted to go without her mother .
He didnt push it , but told Whit that next time theyd all go as a family , his son had stared at him and Parker had smiled at him .
Your mother and I are getting along just fine .
Hed smiled to himself and knew it was more than just a little smile .
He couldnt keep in how happy he was about knowing they were Goddess Gifted Mates to each other .
Every minute of every day now was just one more minute closer to the full moon setting and them being fully realised to each other .
Shed scent him out , and hed get all the sparks of their Mate Bond .
Whit knew his mother wouldnt leave the pack , not with being concerned about Bridgit .
Shed told him before of what Freya had told her about staying inside the pack , and seemed okay with that .
Whit can you help me pick out something nice for your mother , from me to her .
Im not sure what to get her .
Sure , Whit had nodded .
Are we getting Milly stuff too ? Yes , Ive got some ideas for your little sister , but youll be able to pick out lots of stuff for her too , anything you think she would like .
She said she wants a new dolly , Whit told him .
Then a new doll she will have .
Do you know her favourite colour ? Pink and yellow , Whit told him , Shes right into the doll and pram phase pretending to be a mummy .
Ah , I think we can sort something out for her then .
What do you want , son ? I dont know, I need more clothes mostly , everything else is in the packhouse gaming rooms .
Well , Whit .
If you see something you want , just point it out , and well get it .
Whatever you want , there is no limit to shopping today .
He smiled at his boy sitting in the seat next to him .
His first ever father and son trip .
It might just be shopping today , but that would eventuate into other things .
You are alright with this , arent you Whit ? Just you and I hanging out ? Parker asked him .
Whit nodded .
< 132 +8 Points > Good , I thought you were but thought Id better ask .
Im not the best at asking what others want , kind of just presume Im right , he sighed .
I will get better at asking things as we grow as a family .
And that was his intention .
Youre not doing too badly as a dad , you know .
I know you want to be one , and I see you with Milly too , mum as well .
Just keep working on her .
Shell come around , Im sure she sees what I see .
How do you like the pack ? Parker asked .
Its big and there are lots of things to do , though this is only what … one of six parts of it ? Mm it is .
Parker stated Ill take you to the others and introduce you to them all once youre a pack member and officially the heir … On that note , Id like to have you measured for a formal pack suit , if of course you dont mind ? Would you let me do that ? Parker asked .
Whit turned and looked at him .
Did mum agree to that ? he asked right back .
Hmm , thats a bit more complicated , but I dont think shell say no , Parker stated , and he didnt .
Why not ? Whats going on ? Whit asked him now .
I know things are different , just … Whit trailed off .
I dont know exactly why ? Parker thought about it for only a moment and then stated I can scent your mother out already, Whitney , as my Goddess Gifted Mate .
Ever since Venus surfaced , he told him , and saw Whitney stare right at him with more than a shocked expression .
Parker smiled at him and nodded when the boy asked Really ? Yes , Id like you to keep that to yourself though , its not for public knowledge at this point , he stated and saw Whit nod slowly at him .
Mum ? Whit asked now .
Ill be claiming her on the full moon as any Mate would .
I dont see why she wouldnt accept me .
She told me before all this came about , that she didnt want to be my chosen , she wanted to find her Goddess Gifted .
Oh , is that why it got suddenly awkward between the two of you ? Mm , it was , he admitted .
I was a bit … upset , I guess you could say .
Thought Id lost her once more .
and he had .
Thankfully he hadnt .
She wanted to find her fated Mate … All wolves want that .
Whit murmured Which is you now ? he asked .
2/4 < 132 + B Points > Yes .
Parker smiled at him .
So a pack suit for you ? he asked , bringing the topic back to the original subject .
Id also like to announce you as the packs Heir .
Would you be alright with that Whit ? Yes , what about Milly ? he asked right back .
Are you going to claim her as well ? I am .
Your sister is adorable .
I love her as much as I love you , son .
So yes , she is , as far as Im concerned , my daughter as well .
Ill bleed her to me , like you and your mother did .
We will be a proper family , I assure you of this .
Whit smiled at him .
Then its fine with me , I dont want her to feel left out .
It wouldnt be good for her , Whitney sighed .
I will never leave her out , he promised his son .
Now , lets go a little crazy out there today .
I dont normally spend money .
I have everything I want .
Im not as young as your mother .
Hey , how old are you ? Whit asked .
Parker smiled at him , 51.
He answered .
Whit turned and stared at him , shocked by the answer .
Then he shook his head .
You dont look to be in your 50s .
Thank the Goddess or your mother might turn me away .
Shes 15 years younger than I am .
He chuckled .
They parked the car and were off shopping , stopped to have lunch and just spent the day talking and buying things for not only Whit and Milly , but he also picked up some nice clothes for Belladonna as well .
Shed left most of her clothes here when shed left , and she hadnt changed at all .
He bought her nice suits and dresses , and got matching dresses for her and Milly as well .
He had Whit measured for a suit from the clothing store he owned on the ground floor of the Lustre Inc head office , and talked to his packs tailor about having it ready for the full moon.
It wasnt that hard , midnight blue pants and dress shirt could be found on a rack , and a tie that was always in stock , silver and midnight blue .
It was the silver vest that needed sizing and the silver paisley jacket with midnight blue lapels that had to be made .
They walked out of the store with everything bar the jacket , and his pack tailor assured him hed work on it right away and have it made and ready for the full moon announcement .
Hed seen Whit wrinkle his nose at the silver and chuckled Now son , its only to be worn on formal occasions is all , and you can take the jacket off after any and all announcements .
3/4 < 132 Can I change it when Im the Alpha ? Whit had murmured .
They are the pack colours Whit .
You kind of have to deal with it .
Hmm , but surely a blue jacket is better than a silver one .
。 +8 Points > Parker laughed at the tailors expression .
This had been their packs colours and suit style for a very long time , many generations .
Were called Lustrous Moon , not midnight moon , lustrous depicts brilliance and shine , glamour .
That is why the silver jacket .
Youll get used to it , and its to be worn to all kingdom meetings as well .
Most suits of packs are recorded with the kingdom so they know who each pack is .
The more one stands out , the easier they are recognised by the king himself .
Whit still shook his head , Youll come to like it within time .
I didnt much like it growing up either , but when standing in a room full of other Alphas , Whit .
It makes quite the statement , and you get noticed for it .
Youll find no two pack suits are identical .
They can be similar but most are tailored to vary , so everyone knows who belongs to who .
Its a petition to the Wolfen Council to change pack symbols and pack colours , as well as the pack suit , and all of it has to go through to the kingdom to make sure youre not overlapping with another pack .
It can take months to do and much back and forth .
Easier to just leave it once established .
