25 Belladonna Hmm , how to explain that in detail , she thought about it for a moment , where to start , she supposed , then just stated plainly My father sold me to an Alpha , to stop a war between the two packs .
Bella stated simply .
So , a mating alliance with an invading Alpha , you mean ? Hailey asked .
Yes , I guess you could put it that way .
I had no say in it at all .
and she hadnt .
Literally had not been allowed to say a single word .
Her own father and Alpha at the time had come and Alpha Ordered her to not speak a single word , ordered her to behave as though she wasnt against the Mating .
To walk into his Alphas office when collected by his Luna and stand there , to be silently accepting of the mating alliance .
Shed not been allowed to say a single word , had been his order not one word while she was part of his pack .
So she hadnt been able to , she hadnt been able to say a single word until that moment , Parker had cut her palm and meshed his blood with hers , effectively releasing her from her own fathers orders on her .
She recalled actually taking in a deep breath and releasing it as shed felt that order fall away from her .
Shed thought her father was cruel before that , but had learned when he put that order on her , just how much he hated her , she supposed .
Shed never understand she didnt think how shed been created , but it would be nice to find out one day she supposed .
Mating alliances are difficult under those circumstances .
Gretta nodded with a sigh , Its one life for many .
But you should have gotten a say in it , and usually would have been allowed to voice your opinion , being an Alphas child .
Im the Alphas bastard daughter , she reminded Gretta of her words from yesterday .
Im the youngest of his six children .
I dont really understand how I was created and born .
No one would ever tell me or talk about it .
My birth mother , I was told , died in childbirth , and I was raised by my grandmother.
She told them it was the truth as she knew it .
I was the obvious choice , no one inside that pack wanted me around .
I was also not raised by the Alpha in the packhouse , but everyone knew I was his , he claimed me as his kin , but then left me at the same time .
She shrugged , not a nice father in my eyes .
1 His Luna , she hated me .
None of their legitimate children were ever going to be given up to 1/4 25 the enemy , when there was one like me floating around .
And they were probably just looking for a valid reason to rid themselves of me .
she shrugged .
Both Gretta and Hailey were frowning at her now .
She didnt think theyd like hearing her tale .
That is how I ended up mated to an Alpha , and became his Luna .
My life in a nutshell , I was Chosen , just to be rejected for his Goddess Gifted when she came along .
They were both just staring at her now for a long minute .
So , there is a mating alliance , that specifically states that then ? Gretta finally asked .
Mm , its quite detailed but has been null and voided now , he has found his Goddess Gifted , and we are now rejected .
Your Alpha Mate , who is he ? Hailey asked with a slight shake of the head .

Alpha Parker Hartly of the Lustrous Moon .
The mating alliance states he only had to be mated to me until he found his Goddess Gifted , and then can reject me for her .
Which is what happened .
He brought her into his pack four days ago now .
The rejection happened that quick ? Gretta frowned at her .
How many years were you two mated to each other? Eight years I was the Luna , to his pack .
Bella answered her .
You held the full title and responsibilities then ? Gretta leaned forward and questioned her further .
Yes , again , that was part of the mating alliance .
Bella nodded .
Its quite detailed on my role and what was required of me .
How did he treat you in those years ? Gretta asked .
She shrugged I dont hate the man , if thats what you want to know .
He never laid a harmful hand on me , barely spoke to me on any given day , nodded to me in passing .
Unless he needed me to do something or wanted something from me .
He followed that mating alliance to the letter .
Never betrayed me either .
I attended to all the Lunas duties as he expected me to as well .
But rejected you instantly .
You two never bonded properly ? Hailey sighed .
Eight years is a long time for a bond not to be formed .
Clearly you were in his bed though .
She waved a hand at Bellas still flat stomach .
Technically , I rejected him, and he accepted it , and yes , we had s * x often .
She shrugged but no , we never bonded to each other , both just … indifferent to each other , I guess you could say .
2/4 25 Wait , wait , wait , go back a step , Alpha Parker not only allowed you to issue a rejection , but he accepted it when you did ? Gretta was frowning now , deeply so , and she knew why most Alphas would be the one to issue a rejection , not his Luna .
Yes , either of us could issue it .
Once he found his Goddess Gifted , were both Alpha blooded .
He brought her to his pack , walked her right into the packhouse , where he had asked me to meet him , so I could see her , I suppose , making it clear to me , he wanted to claim her .
Which meant a rejection could and was going to be issued .
It was done in the privacy of his Alphas office .
She explained it to them , as she realised they were actively asking her question because they were now investigating her , she thought .
Doing what all council members did , trying to dig into the truth .
How long before that rejection was issued ? And was his mate in the room to see it ? Hailey asked her .
Hmm , a few minutes , like two or three , and no she was not , he had his Delta take her to get lunch , so it could be done just us , with his Beta and Gamma there .
Witnesses to it , I suppose .
The Gamma ? Shannon , a lovely man , helped me through the pain of severing until I told him I was alright .
She nodded I dare say it was why he was in the room .
We often worked together in the pack .
You had a proper Luna / Gamma relationship then ! Gretta frowned at her and shook her head as she looked at Hailey .
It doesnt really make that much sense .
The eight years also bothers me , she turned back to Belladonna .
unless the two of you actually didnt like each other , argued and fought all the time , a bond should have formed .
Agreed , Hailey commented , considering they were sleeping together .
How often did that happen ? If you dont mind my asking a private question , I dont care , not really , every other day , and I went into heat once a year , though weirdly enough twice this year .
that had shocked even Parker , not that hed complained about it .
Lets talk about your pup .
Gretta stated He didnt pick it up , that you were pregnant when he came home with his Fated Mate .
You didnt smell different to him ? No , we had s * x the morning before he went off to that mating ball inside another pack .
I believe thats when the pup was conceived .
That is all I can put it down to .
Because I was in heat the week prior to that , it had been over for all of three days before he went to that mating ball .
So , if it was from the heat , Id be between eight and twelve days along .
The pup is 3/4 25 pure blooded and growing fast .
I know it only takes between seven and ten days for she wolf to smell different to their mate when pregnant .
Nine to fourteen for the heartbeat to be picked up , and 14 to 21 days before the s * x of the pup can be determined , though that depends on the bloodline of the she wolf , can take up to six weeks .
She shrugged .
