29 Belladonna She took the file held out to her from Alpha Gretta and opened it .
There in it were all the emails going back and forth between Alpha Gretta and not only Parker but Carina as well .
Gretta had emailed both of them , it seemed .
She sat and read through them , curious as to what had been said , curious as to why he wouldnt want her pup with him .
Not only had he wanted one , but their pup would be pure blooded and his and his new mates wouldnt be .
She was , from recollection , only Beta blooded .
It appeared that Carina had received the email first and responded to it prior to Parker , but Bella could see the original email had been sent to both of them , so that they were both informed at the same time .
There were not going to be any secrets from either the Alpha or Luna of that pack about her pup , it seemed .
Carinas response had been .
Alpha Gretta , Thank you for informing me of this burdensome news .
Parker is not inside the pack currently , away in another pack attending allied assistance .
I will have to talk with my Mate , Parker , when he gets home .
And get back to you as to what we will be doing about the illegitimate , bastard pup with his former Mate … are you certain that it is his ? Luna Carina of the Lustrous Moon .
Bella sighed as she read it .
She was not wrong ; Carina would hate the pup she was carrying , and was already calling it a bastard .
She flipped to the next email .
Luna Carina , Belladonna Harrington is 12 days along at this point in time .
She was faithful to her Mate , and the math has been attended to .
The conception date was the last time Belladonna and Parker had s **** ❘ relations .
Belladonna has stated that , that was the morning before he went to attend that mating ball , in which he scented you out .
Belladonna has stated that Parker did knot her that morning , and talked about having a pup with her .
So yes , the pup is considered to be Alpha Parker Hartlys pup .
Conceived within their mate bond .
A legitimate heir to his pack due to its conception being within the mate bond , refrain yourself from calling the pup a bastard , or you may find myself on your packs doorstep for the insult .
Have your Mate contact me regarding what he wants to do , the minute he gets back for pack assistance , keep yourself in check .
I do understand it is upsetting news for you , it was just as 1/4 +10 Point 29 29 shocking for Belladonna herself , and she is simply trying to do the right thing by her previous Mate , according to their mating alliance .
Alpha Gretta Rivers of the Wolfen Council .
Gretta chuckled at the look Bella gave her .
Mm , I laid out my title with that one on purpose , to put her in her place , let her know she was dealing with not just an Alpha but one of the Wolfen Council .
I dont normally have to state it , Gretta Rivers is usually enough , but I got the feeling she didnt know who I was , what rank is she ? Beta blooded , I dont know her ascension rank , Bella shook her head She could have siblings above her .
Likely does .
Gretta nodded Read on .
Bella turned to the next email and read yet again Carinas response .
Alpha Gretta , I did not mean to upset you or infer an insult to Parkers pup .
My apologies that was simply my bad .
I was shocked by the news .
Please do excuse me , that was how I was raised .
To believe of pups created outside a mated bond , I will endeavour to mend my ways .
I will make certain Parker is informed the minute he comes back into the pack , have him contact you directly .
Luna Carina , the Lustrous Moon .
Then there was an email from Parker , two days later .
Alpha Gretta , My Luna Carina is currently with pup herself , I do apologise on her behalf for her not so nice words , and I have had words with her regarding her attitude .
My Mate and Luna is young and unhappy with this turn of events ; as you could well imagine .
We have discussed it at length ; which child will be considered the heir to my pack .
After much deliberating and debating , a decision has been made , and I have decided that my child with my Goddess Gifted Mate , Carina , has been declared the packs one true heir .
Therefore , I Alpha Parker Hartly , will allow Belladonna , my former Chosen Mate , to raise the child she is carrying.
She is no longer within my pack , was only a Chosen Mate to me and nothing more .
Attached to me by a mating alliance for a peace treaty .
I always knew I would reject her , for my Goddess Gifted , who is my one and only true mate .
I have never once tried to conceive an heir with her .
If she thought that was what I wanted , she was mistaken .
Give her 214 410 Point 29 29 my apologies , I never meant for her to think we were connected like that .
Please inform Belladonna of my decision , and dont contact me again on the matter .
I Alpha Parker Hartly , the Alpha of Lustrous Moon , fully relinquish my parental rights to the pup that Belladonna will have .
It is now solely hers to raise .
Alpha Parker Hartly , Lustrous Moon .
Belladonna sat and stared at that email and then just shook her head .
She knew hed wanted a pup with her , he had asked her and brought it up more than once over the past three years .
The last time theyd had s * x when theyd conceived this very pup , he had stated it would be nice to have a pup with her .
Now he was just abandoning it ? Saying hed never wanted one with her , it didnt really make sense to her .
But she could only suppose that now that he had his Goddess Gifted Mate , and a pup on the way with her ; that was all that mattered .
Belladonna wondered just how much influence that Mate of his had on his decision .
Likely , she thought , a lot for him to turn away his own child .
He now had a pup inside a mate bond .
Whereas his and hers was just like she was , a bastard pup that was now as unwanted by its own father , as she herself had been .
She felt pain touch her chest a little , at that knowledge , it wasnt something she wanted her child to feel , unloved and unwanted by its own father .
It wasnt a nice feeling .
It also kind of hurt to know he could turn his back on his own child , just because he had another on the way with Carina .
But what could she do about it ? Nothing was what .
And he had just relinquished all his rights over to her .
That had been something she had wanted anyway .
So , she guessed it was all working out as she had hoped that it would .
Just kind of really surprised her was all .
Is this legal and valid ? she finally asked Gretta after staring at it for a long moment .
That is Alpha Parker of the Lustrous Moons email and pack logo as well .
Do you recognise it ? Bella nodded I do , though it surprises me that he would do this , just let go and not want anything to do with his own pup .
Mm , it is a bit odd , but not so odd that Ive not seen it before .
Sometimes Bella , an Alpha , only cares about himself and his Goddess Gifted mates pups .
You yourself should know this , I think .
She nodded , she did know that , she had been nothing to her father at all , even though he had claimed her as his kin , likely only done so , so that if a situation arose where he needed to 3/4 * 10 mt 29 mate one of his children off , she could be it .
Then hed just rejected their kin bond the moment shed been sold off to Parker .
She felt a well of pain inside her chest at not being wanted by anyone .
She was alone in this world , and it was just going to be her , Freya and their pup and that was it from now on .
Her pup was going to be just like her , unloved and unwanted by its father .
She did hope that she could raise him or her well , that a mothers love would be enough .
She was , however , disappointed in Parkers reaction to the news , and to state hed never wanted a pup with her .
Then what was all the asking about ? She could only put it down to that he had Carina now , and their bond was true , and he loved her , unlike the indifference hed held towards Bella .
He wanted his new Luna to be happy , unlike her inside his pack who hed never cared about .
She now understood .
