53 Parker He found Alpha Aston sitting in the foyer with his unit and two of the other Alphas just chatting casually , cleared his throat and interrupted them Sorry to interrupt Alpha Aston , but may I have a word with you please , in private ? About ? Aston asked right back .
Belladonna , he stated simply .
My pack doctor .
Why ? Aston queried .
Is one of your wolves in need of medical attention ? No , but I would like it to be in private , please .
Parker muttered , allowing Aston to hear his unhappiness , and some of his annoyance at what was going on out there inside this pack , unbeknownst to him .
Aston excused himself from the group and stood up .
He indicated for Parker to follow him to his office .
Parker stepped into the mans office and found Simon the pack Beta also in there , closed the door behind the three of them .
Frowned right at him .
I keep no secrets from my Beta , not ever .
So , Simon will be staying in this office , Alpha Parker , whether you like it or not , Aston told him .
He just nodded it was actually the norm , hed have Kane in his office with him if it was his pack , likely have the entire unit in here .
I have scented out my own kin , inside your pack today .
My Heir to be precise , though I have yet to lay eyes directly on the child .
Boy or girl I dont know at this point .
He stated , getting right to the point .
There was no point in delaying it , he needed to get it sorted out and meet his child .
Get an explanation from Belladonna , and this was going to be the safest and likely the quickest way .
Aston raised an eyebrow at him and leaned back on the edge of his desk .
Aston seemed un phased by this news , and he wondered if the man already knew , like his unit suspected he would .
Any Alpha pups coming into a pack with a she wolf , regardless of her rank , should have to state who the father was .
To see if it was going to cause trouble for them ; bring war to the pack if that childs father came to claim what was his .
And you want me to do what exactly about that ? Aston asked as he looked at his watch , Its quite late , do you expect me to wake all the children in the pack and have them presented to you ? he asked , looking back at Parker with a raised eyebrow as if to say Im not going to do that .
1/4 +8 Point 53 No , Parker shook his head , and he did not want that , wouldnt even do that himself , if this situation arose inside his pack .
There will be no need of that , as I believe I know who the mother is , well actually , there can only be one person , Belladonna , my ex mate .
He informed Aston .
Aston stared at him for a long quiet minute before saying anything , Bells been here for five years now , and youve also seen her here before , on your last visit , what , a year ago now ? You didnt pick up that kin bond the first time you were in the pack ? and that little girl of hers I can guarantee is not yours .
No , he nodded , she is not mine .
Though I hear she has two children , from a previous pack member of mine .
I am as confused as you are about this , I assure you .
Parker sighed .
He watched Aston and his Beta look at each other , and frown a little , his Beta , Simon shrugged at his Alpha , and Aston turned back to him .
He was certain they knew about the child and neither of them were going to do anything about it .
Again , Parker .
What do you want me to do for you ? Aston asked him .
Id like you to bring Belladonna in here for a meeting with me , to discuss what is going on .
he stated simply She has some explaining to do , she obviously was pregnant when she left and didnt tell me .
Aston snorted and shook his head , was unconcerned about this as much as Belladonna was , it seemed .
Maybe this was why she didnt care she had the Alpha and Lunas backing .
I cant actually do that , Aston stated with a half smile ; he seemed amused to Parker .
He thought there was something funny about this situation .
Why not ? he asked , his annoyance showing .
There was nothing funny at all about this .
She runs the pack orphanage , and is in charge of a dozen pups right this minute .
I believe theyve all turned in for the night .
She is very responsible , likely something you know about her yourself .
Being that you were her mate for a time .
She will not leave them in the middle of the night for a meeting .
Aston shook his head .
I also wouldnt ask her to either .
Those children range from 12 to four , and need an adult in the house at night .
She runs an orphanage ? Parkers frown deepened in thought .
Maybe it wasnt hers .
Vex snarled at him Is her , no other .
He shook it off .
There was no other both he and Vex did know that ..
Yes , are you certain she is the mother ? And you dont have some illegitimate child out there running around without a parent at all .
Perhaps went and sewed your wild oats in a few and 2/4 53 +8 Point one got pregnant .
Who abandoned the pup or died in childbirth maybe? Several of those children are Alpha blooded .
Im 100 % certain , he stated angrily and then took a breath in and calmed himself down , this alpha didnt know him .
I was mated to Belladonna for eight years and I mated my Goddess Gifted the day after Belladonna and I rejected each other .
He explained to Aston Im still mated to my Goddess Gifted .
There was no break and no f ***** g around between the two of them .
He indicated to his filigree to show he was still marked and mated I was loyal to Belladonna , you can ask her that yourself , and I am loyal to Carina .
Curious it is then .
Aston nodded and rubbed his chin .
Im certain the child I scented as my kin will be mine and Belladonnas .
There was a pure blooded child in that group .
Likely is my heir .
Please organise a meeting in the morning for me with her .
I suppose I could try , though she might not feel its necessary at all .
I wont be making her come in .
Aston stated simply .
Aston , please be reasonable , this is my heir were talking about .
Mm , that is what youre saying , Aston nodded at him , But by your own words just now , you rejected Bell and claimed another in what ? the man stared at him pointedly .
24 hours , less maybe , so I see that as , you didnt want her .
You do realise Alpha Parker , where you are right now … a pack that grants full sanctuary to those of us that are rejected , including their pups .
he smiled at Parker .
Oh yes , this Alpha was fully amused at his predicament .
Parkers jaw tightened as he thought about those words and stated I did not reject her , she actually issued the rejection if you must know .
So , on a technicality , that doesnt count where she and I are concerned , my child either .
Simon sorted this time , fully amused as well it seemed .
Oh , I think Parker might have you on that one Aston .
Ill ask Bell , who rejected who .
Aston commented , when I ask her about the meeting and if she wants to attend it .
The meeting ? Parker asked once more .
Ill call it , Aston finally nodded .
But I wouldnt go getting your hopes up , even if you do have a child with her , claim it as your heir .
Shes also Alpha blooded and will likely claim its her heir .
Your word against hers , so to speak .
3/4 +8 Point 53 I have a pack to run , and to hand down to that child .
She does not .
My claim will be stronger .
Aston nodded once more with a shrug , he didnt really seem to care from what Parker could tell .
Just a heads up Alpha Parker .
My Luna will want to be in this room for that meeting .
She doesnt like Alphas much .
Especially ones trying to claim things that are not theirs , sets of all her needs to duel them and put them down .
I hope , for your sake , your claim is actually valid , or you could see my Luna kicking your ass , and dont think she cant .
Parker frowned at him , he knew Malas reputation , everyone did that attended those fighting arenas .
Hed not gone to one in a long time , but everyone knew about that wolf less girl and her ex Alpha mate that had harmed her .
Ill make the meeting for 9am , Aston finally stated after giving Parker a few minutes to think about Mala , and if he still wanted to stake a claim , hed not rescind it though he had the right to meet his child and heir .
That will give Bell time to do her morning rounds .
Shes got a teen in traction she needs to check on first thing .
Aston stated , You may go , Alpha Parker , Aston stated and waved him out of the room .
Parker did leave the mans office and walked straight to his suite .
He was going to have to contain himself , be calm and logical .
Didnt want to tick off Luna Mala , or Belladonna for that matter , not really , she was the mother of his child and he had loved her , wanted a child with her .
Perhaps it was as Shannon thought , she was just protecting her child from what she thought its life would be like .
How her own life had turned out , being mated off because she was the illegitimate daughter of an Alpha , and unwanted by the Luna to her pack .
He sighed to himself , but at least he would get some answers in the morning .
