31 Parker Hed stood standing in the Alpha hallway , that pack card lay on the ground before his feet , because Carina had just hurled it at him when hed told her to hand it over , or hed be forcibly holding her down to collect it .
Shed grabbed it from her handbag , and it had smacked him right in the chest and bounced off him to fall to the floor .
Parker stood there shocked by her words and raised an eyebrow at that statement from her about him being vindictive ? He wasnt cruel , mean or vindictive , and hed clearly warned her that this would happen if they took a hit on the stock market , it was just him following through on his words .
He was treating her no differently to any other inside his pack .
Hed pushed into that suite , and shed turned on him , and ranted about how he was trying to punish her for just wanting to be recognised , out there as his wife , as was her right to be , because she was his Mate and Luna .
Then she had just yelled at him that he would rather the humans see him with his ex , and not her .
That he didnt know how much that hurt her , and she was just trying to let everyone know that she loved him and he , her .
Not that other she wolf .
Yet all he did about it , was to punish her , that he made her sign contracts and threatened to stop her modelling career before it even got started .
That hed denied her pack funds because she simply wasnt his ex , who was apparently , f ***** g perfect .
Then she told him it wasnt her fault that the stocks in his company had dropped .
That he should be out there protecting her from those horrid reporters ; that were fixated on her one tiny flaw of not going to college .
They wouldnt give her a chance because they thought his ex was better than she was .
That this was why one didnt go mating themselves off to just any old she wolf , and not wait for their Goddess Gifted .
That he was the one himself that had created all the problems that she was now facing .
That were happening to his company , because in reality , if hed never mated himself to Belladonna , or bloody announced her as his wife , they wouldnt be having this problem .
That he was responsible for what was happening in the here and now , and yet he was here and blaming her for all that was going on , when it was actually all his fault .
That the people out there were only looking for bad things about her , because they wanted to show her as that , the gold digging mistress ; which theyd labelled her as without even knowing her , instead of 1/4 +10 Point : 31 15 Point his lawful and legal wife , because he wouldnt bloody announce they were married , only engaged .
That this was his fault because hed claimed Belladonna as his wife , when he shouldnt have .
When , as far as she was concerned , he should never have announced that to the human world , left as his girlfriend only , all those years , because she should have been nothing to him , she was not being his Goddess Gifted Mate .
That he should never have even been seen with her , because Belladonna was nothing to him .
That he wasnt supporting her , Carina , out in the human world .
That he was still trying to cover his own ass instead of stating simply I love Carina , and were married .
Thats all there is to it .
She believed that a statement like that would fix everything .
But she didnt understand what she had done was detrimental to his human world businesses or didnt bloody care he thought .
She only cared when those cameras and reporters had turned on her and taken to her .
If she had truly cared , she wouldnt have tossed that original photo of them out there for this s ** t storm to start .
Hed left her in the Luna suite , to calm down and come to her senses , after telling her none of this would have happened if shed not sent that picture to the human world in the first place , if shed been patient , theyd have been seen together out in public and seen to be dating and then engaged and married within the year .
No different to what he had done with Belladonna , to be exact .
Her father was also unhappy about the backlash his daughter was copping and had now turned up there inside the pack demanding that Parker protect her .
Parker had stared at that Beta from his place behind his Alphas desk and stated I told you this would happen .
That this was why it was best to wait for a full year before I announced her to the world as my wife , be seen in six months as dating and then six months after that married .
She did this to herself .
She has every right to be seen as your wife , and you have to protect her .
Thats your job and our agreement .
My job is to run this pack to the best of my ability , and I am trying to do that .
Your daughter is the one that needs to apologise and get over herself .
We also dont have a mating alliance , so Im not responsible for fixing her reputation that she has ruined herself .
Shes your Mate , and I now just heard you cut her from pack funds ? Yes , she is , and as her mate , Im bloody unhappy with her and her attitude .
I warned her once about that , she didnt care to listen .
Heed my advice , I follow through on all my promises , Greg .
2/4 10 Point 31 Shed do well to learn that .
Because there will be no use of pack funds until the stocks come back up .
She has also now signed a modelling contact with Lustre , and if she voids those clauses that are in there .
I will follow through on the punishments for that as well .
You might want to go and talk to your daughter about her attitude .
All of this comes back to that one photo she put out there , that I never knew about , did not approve of either .
Wouldnt have at this point because of this , the s ** t storm that is now upon me , which I warn not only you but her about .
You mated yourself to her .
You have to protect her now .
Hmm , and now I wonder if I regret that … should I just reject her myself and give her back to you ? Get rid of the hassle shes causing this pack .
I always said I didnt think she was Luna material , she has done nothing to show she has any at all .
hed muttered , there was no wondering , and he knew it .
His chosen mate had been much more suited to him than his own Goddess Gifted .
Greg had stared at him a little wide eyed and then huffed and muttered Ill go and speak with her .
and left the Alphas office .
He didnt know how Selena paired up her wolves , but he was right this minute , wondering if she did it to see if her wolves would choose love over a mate bond .
Give them the option of seeing the difference , and making a choice that best suited them .
Most would opt to take a Gifted Mate over a Chosen , and he knew that .
It was also the preferred for an Alpha Luna bond .
Seen to bring more strength to the pack if they were a Goddess Gifted pair .
But right this minute he didnt think so , he thought it was more about a mated pair just loving each other regardless of if they were Chosen or Gifted .
Selena was likely punishing him now for not making the right decision .
Not that he could fix it now .
He didnt even know where Belladonna was .
Carina was still jealous of a she wolf that wasnt even here in the pack , one that had left the day shed arrived .
She no longer had anything to be jealous of , but it seemed she couldnt let go of the fact that hed had a chosen mate before her .
Brought any argument with her back to Belladonna .
He leaned back in his chair and sighed and wondered if Belladonnas life had gotten any easier , was she happy out there without him , or did a part of her miss him , like he did her .
