59 බ +8 Points Bella She got a mind link from Mala to tell her that Parker had gone back to his suite , and that shed had Whit brought up to her suite playing Xbox games with Chance and Flynn , just so that there wasnt any chance of run ins with Parker himself .
That it was clear Parker had never severed his kin bond , so to stop Whit from feeling it at this time , until the mess that she foresaw coming was sorted out , he could hang out with her children in the Alpha Suite .
Bella thanked her for the help .
She didnt know what to make of the situation right this minute , hed looked utterly shocked before shed left that office , dumbfounded by her words even , she thought .
Then she found Alpha Aston in her office an hour later .
He sat himself across from her and looked right at her .
A full curiosity it is , he nodded as he looked at her .
Parker is adamant that he has no knowledge of his and your child .
That if hed known he would never have given up his rights .
That he wouldnt have even let you birth the child alone , and would have been in the birthing suite with you for the birth of your son .
Would want to raise his son with you , together .
Mm , she nodded , that is what I originally thought he would want to happen , when Gretta was sorting it all out .
I thought that it was very odd myself , that he just released his claim on our son , and did it so very easily .
And she had , though Gretta had told her shed seen it before , so it wasnt that unusual to her or those on the Wolfen Council ; so Bella had let it go .
What do you think happened then ? Aston asked her .
I dont know , Bella shook her head .
Gretta did , from my knowledge , converse with both Parker and his Luna , it is all above board as far as I know , as far as Gretta knows , even .
But something I think is actually amiss here , Bell , he sighed now .
Hes very unhappy .
That is not my problem , though now , is it ? she replied .
It could well be , if things are amiss … Aston answered her , and leaned back in his chair and stared at her for several minutes Youre a curious one yourself , you know that right .
Get regular visits from Selena , to see your wolf .
Mm , though Im not privy to those conversations between them , kind of just black out or fall into deep slumber when that happens .
She shrugged , and she did , she would see Selena 1/4 +8 Point 59 walking towards her wolf and then everything around her would fade away to nothingness , and shed find herself curled up inside Freyas mind , something that always felt all soft and warm around her .
Felt happy and comfortable , settled , and it was almost as if that warmth radiated to her was a part of herself , or that she belonged to it .
Though in that darkness she never saw anything at all , she could only guess that if there was something in there , it was all black like the surroundings .
Shed come around and Selena would be gone , and Freya would either be quiet , and release her body back to her to curl up and sleep inside her mind for a few days .
Shed asked Freya once what it was all about , and her wolf had yawned and told her Moon Goddess business .
If she wanted you to know , she wouldnt put you to sleep every time .
Her wolf was a law unto herself , conversed privately with their Moon Goddess , though it was always when Freya was in control and out wandering in the woods .
She also always felt unhappy to see Selena , they had some sort of unique bond , but it was starting to bother Bella now .
Because Freya was starting to feel tired and drained , listless at times , it was almost like their Moon Goddess was sapping her of her life force .
Though Freya had told her that was nonsense , to think like that .
That Selena would never hurt her , that Selena loved her , and that she was fine .
But that did not ease Bellas concerns , though she did try to push them aside , sometimes she just couldnt .
Bell ? Aston interrupted her thoughts and she knew shed zoned out there for likely more than a minute .
Sorry just thinking about Freya .
She answered him .
He nodded You dont even understand the wolf , do you .
He seemed to understand her She just shook her head no , because she did not .
Lets leave Freya to her own devices , but I think , Bell .
He stated and changed the subject back to Parker .
There is something else going on inside of the Lustrous Moon pack , and its all about to come out .
If Parker was not the one to reply to Alpha Gretta , you might find those papers you have with his signature on them , dont hold any weight at all .
Only Gretta would know the answer to that , Bella stated , but she didnt like the sound of it .
Are you not concerned at all ? Aston asked her now .
2/4 59 Not really .
She shook her head .
Life is what it is .
I learned long ago to take what is dealt out to me , in a calm , accepting manner .
There is no point in fighting a battle you cannot win against .
So , just accept your fate is what you mean ? he frowned at her .
You can speak up for yourself .
I know that , but I weigh the options of winning first .
If I cant win , I wont fight .
Its just a complete waste of time and energy , causes one stress and I dont want that , for me or Freya , for Whit or Milly even .
You , my dear , are too calm about everything , you know that , right ? Its almost like you are not wolfen at all .
If you were wolf less I would understand your lack of anger and defiance on things he sighed and shook his head a little you are the complete opposite of Mala .
He chuckled softly .
Mm , she is a fiery one .
Bella smiled to herself But you love that about her , its why my attitude bugs you .
You think Im a push over .
He admitted .
Though there was anger in you today , the first time Ive ever seen that .
Took Parker by complete surprise as well , dumbfounded him , I think .
Did you not once get angry with him in your mate bond ? Of what eight years ? She shrugged No , there was no need to , he left me alone to do my job , I did my job to the letter , gave him nothing to complain about or get angry with me about .
Im not a push over Aston ; I just dont fight battles I cant win .
Freya and I see no point in fighting unless its actually warranted and needed .
Weve also never had anyone harm us .
Not even Parker ? he questioned now I know how you feel about being mated to him , were sold to him so ? No.
she shook her head .
He never so much as raised a hand to me , raged only once , and not directly at me , about something i said that angered him , but stayed away from me afterwards .
she shrugged .
What about being marked and mated by him ? Aston frowned .
I know that is not something you truly wanted , because you were sold to him .
Mm , I was .
Got that mating alliance to prove it , but Marking and Mating , he was actually nice about it , he didnt want to hurt me and he didnt .
That kind of surprised me to be honest .
Considering I was his enemys bastard daughter , I thought it was in for a world of pain at his hands .
She half smiled and shook her head , still to this day , nearly 20 years later she was still surprised at how hed been that night .
It was nothing of the sort .
It was almost as if he 3/4 59 wanted to take care of me , my needs , he was gentle and nice about it .
If I thought he liked me at all that day , Id almost say … it was loving .
