40 Bella Not once did Parker even ask her about their child , and even though hed relinquished Whitney to her , shed thought that coming across him , Parker would have asked about the child .
Seems he was still a stickler for his contracts .
Though surely , he was curious as to if theyd had a son or daughter ? Who the child took after ? What shed name their child? For all he knew , it could have been a multiple birth .
Shed not even seen him look about as if looking for the child to be with her .
He would know that their child was eight years old now , and hed not had that heir with Carina .
Something had happened there , though she didnt ask him about .
Not only would it likely be a painful question , it was simply none of her business .
But still she wondered how he could be here , know she and their child was here , and not even so much as ask a single question .
When she thought about it , she could only put that down to , that he must have actually severed his kin bond to their son .
Therefore , he did not have any feelings about the child at all .
She wondered when hed done that .
Maybe right when he found out , its not something she would have felt .
But she guessed hed probably forgotten all about his child with her if hed done that .
Likely all consumed by his Goddess Gifted .
She was also curious as to why not one of his unit had tried to approach her about the child either .
Even if just out of curiosity for themselves .
Shed half expected to find Kane in the pack hospital hunting her down to ask about the child Parker had given up .
She knew that the paperwork had not stated if the child was a boy or a girl , not even if it was a multiple or single birth , because shed not known at the time , but no , not one of them came to find out .
It was odd to her , and always had been considering hed wanted a child with her .
Perhaps , she thought a little later that Parker had not told them , had just kept that discussion between himself , Carina and Alpha Gretta , whod corresponded with them on her behalf .
Maybe his Alpha unit didnt know at all .
She sat and thought about that for a long time after they all left , and could only think that they didnt know , it had to have been that Parker had kept it from them .
Well , at least she now knew that she didnt ever have to worry about it or concern herself with Parker coming and going from mating balls over the next few years .
She looked at Whit as he 1/4 +10 Port came into the house that afternoon .
Shed called him home after all the births had come and gone , and there was none due for over a month now , so a relaxing month for her inside the pack where she could spend plenty of time with Whit to make up for the weekend where shed worked constantly .
Theres my boy .
She smiled at him as she looked down at Whit .
He looked a lot like Parker , and was already taller than all those his age .
She knew that was because he was pure blooded .
You all babied out ? he chuckled up at her .
Yes , for many weeks .
She answered .
Sweet can we go camping then ? he was smiling at her .
She nodded and watched him run off to shower and change .
She mind linked to Bella Thank you .
For helping me out all weekend .
No problem , Bell .
She answered her right back , I heard you came face to face with your ex .
She answered .
1 also heard that he didnt even ask questions of you about your boy .
Bella sighed .
He did not .
So , I guess I dont have to worry about it in the future either .
Parker was always one to follow his contracts to the very letter .
I guess the one about Whit is no different to him , then any alliance deal he makes : Belladonna shrugged I now know I dont have to keep Whit out of sight on purpose , its likely that Parker will either plead ignorance or has severed his kin bond to the child we had .
I dont get it Bell , what Alpha willingly gives up their heir ? I dont know any that would do that .
Hell , most of them would sink fangs into the mother in order to have that child right there in the Alpha suite .
Regardless of what she wants Belladonna shrugged He found out after his Goddess Gifted was also pregnant , made a choice was all , to not disrupt his life .
Honestly , I wouldnt want Whit being treated differently just because he was born outside the mate bond .
That is not a nice feeling , it is what I was .
So , Im glad he gave him up to me , thankful to him , I guess .
She and Whit made a mess in the kitchen making dark chocolate cupcakes , and they topped them with vanilla bean frosting .
She let him plan out the camping and white water rafting trip , up in Aspen theyd go in five days .
He was super excited to be going somewhere new for rafting .
They were making their way 40 O +10 Point : around the local rafting companies every three months or so .
Alpha Aston and his unit , along with Ben , had taken the kids on a camping and rafting trip a year and half ago .
The boy was now hooked and all trips were made around white water rafting .
They took a walk in the evening before settling in for the night to watch a movie , before going to bed .
She walked him to school the next day , picking up other children along the way , and they all ran all over the place .
Whit was telling them about the camping and rafting trip and others were looking at her like they wanted to go as well .
The boy was exciting them all .
She just smiled , this one was just him and her trip .
Ben and Aston , she knew , were planning another trip for the packs children up near Fort Collins .
Along with another allied pack , they were making it big .
Alpha Chase was going to be taking his pack children as well .
It was a massive allied pack adventure for the kids from what she understood , and it was taking some planning due to the accommodation and safety precautions being sorted out .
Then she headed off up to the training ground .
She didnt actually train like everyone else ; it wasnt really her thing and though it was encouraged , and kind of expected , she only trained when not needed in the hospital .
Shed never trained inside the pack shed been born into , and Parker had expected her to stay inside the packhouse when there was an emergency that required the lockdown mode to be enacted .
So , shed not trained inside his pack either .
Though setting off the lockdown mode inside the Lustrous Moon had seen a full band of female elite warriors be locked in with them , just in case something got passed Parker and his unit , his warriors .
Here in Hollowed Moon , everyone trained and one day a week she had to be out there to tend to the hard core elite warriors undergoing training with the Luna and Ben .
They taught pack members how to dislocate knees , shoulders , elbows , you name it , if it could be dislocated ; it was .
She stood by the sideline and watched on standby to put things back into place and call it quits for some of the wolves , before they got injured to the point of not being able to recover .
Today was standard warrior training for her, and it would go for two hours , she didnt really like it or want to attend it .
She was a healer not a fighter , shed once told Mala and Aston and gotten frowned at .
Freya did not join in the training , so there was no wolf training for her , though both Mala and Aston had words with her about that and Aston had tried to call Freya out in the beginning , which had not worked and Bella had just stared at him and shrugged it off , stated Not even 3/4 40 my ex , Parker or his wolf Vex could call Freya out .
That had gained his attention , and hed asked , did his wolf never mate yours ? no , just me .
Freya wouldnt let him , was not interested in being mated by Vex , her wolfen mate .
Never even shifted once around him or pushed forward to look at him , declined the open communication between them , even , no pack run just like here .
That is very odd , Bella , Aston had murmured .
Freya will do as she pleases , is as I like to say , a law unto herself .
Hed not been able to argue with it and so had left it alone over the years .
She was simply excused from wolfen training , though Freya was of the opinion there should be no need of wolves fighting other wolves , not for anything , she thought they should all get along and not covet things that didnt belong to them .
