64 Parker Gretta telling him he couldnt do any of that .
And that she thought he was lying , and he had to now go home and prove he wasnt , prove it was not him responding to those emails .
He didnt like hearing that , he understood why , of course , but Belladonna had to know hed not done it ; shed accepted his apology and he hers .
She likely now also believed it wasnt him in those emails .
She knew him and how he handled any contracts , he was a stickler for the rules , any deal that he made he held to the letter .
Point of fact if he had been the one to make that deal , and put his signature to it .
Known she was here within this pack with his son , that he didnt want to know or claim to .
He would never have come here himself , never want to lay eyes on the boy at all .
In case seeing him would make him want to break their deal , it was highly likely hed have severed his kin bond with the boy , so he would never know who his child was , not even if he stood in front of him , and shook his hand 20 years down the track .
If he had signed this contract , he would not be here confronting her about it , he wouldnt have yelled at her this morning , or gotten annoyed and angry , be sitting here demanding answers .
He could only apologise to her , and he meant it , truly did mean that he was sorry .
Hed never yelled at Belladonna like that before , and it didnt actually sit well with him even now that they were rejected mates ; that he had no right to .
He could already feel the guilt of it , hed yelled at her , snarled and grated out words at her , and for no reason at all in her books .
Which he now knew was wrong of him , because shed done everything right .
Hed already received a copy of his Mating Alliance and Separation Agreement from Katie , before coming down to this meeting , had flipped through it to that pups clause , and hed seen that Belladonnas words were correct , only pups born inside the Mate bond , were to be given to him , not those created inside the mate bond .
She had followed every rule to the letter .
Hed sighed when hed read it and just put it down , knew he was unlikely to win the battle , but he had to fight because he had no knowledge of the boy and couldnt understand why shed not told him .
Now , at least sitting in this office with her , he knew why Belladonna had not cared to tell him the last time hed been here inside this very pack .
Why she hadnt even brought it up , it likely didnt even cross her mind , because of this agreement which he was bound to but had no 1/4 +3 Point 64 knowledge of .
When he and Shannon had approached her just yesterday , all Shannon had picked up from her was confusion and that she didnt understand him .
Well , he now understood that too .
She thought he didnt want their child , so there was no reason she would ever bring him up .
Parker also now understood her stopping him from going off to hunt his boy down , to make him realise who he was .
Her very words about him having to see the man that didnt want him .
He now wondered if that was what she told their son ? That he didnt want him ! Did his own boy think his father did not care about him at all ? He hoped not , and that threat of sicking Freya on him and Vex .
Her own wolf ; whod never accepted him as their mate .
Would now show herself to him , in order to take him on , and protect their pup , from the wolf that did not want to claim him .
That was their view on it .
Why was it that everything in his life was so bloody hard and difficult at times .
All hed ever wanted was a peaceful life , and all hed gotten was war and deception .
Mates that couldnt see their way to loving him .
Though he understood why Belladonna didnt , her view on their mate bond was clear .
But Carina was another story altogether , she was his Goddess Gifted and should love him , but now with all of this he understood very clearly , she had never actually loved him at all , just the title of Luna and his money .
He now wondered if his ability to hold onto a mate bond was fractured or maybe broken ; why was it neither of his bonds had worked out .
Hed loved Belladonna , she was sweet and gentle , kind and a good Luna .
And though yes , he had gotten her the wrong way , hed never once hurt her , come to love her , she just couldnt see her way to really accepting him , and loving him back ; because she believed shed been sold to him , was his slave , and he could actually understand that , her reasoning .
Now there was Carina , and hed really tired with her for so many years , but now he realised shed only pretended to want him and love him .
Likely she had never ever loved him ; everything was all about her , all the time , she didnt care for others opinions , just wanted that title .
Hed suspected as much when hed met her .
Hed hoped that with time Carina would become different , settle into the role of being the packs Luna , and hed thought she had , at first , but now he knew it was just because she was covering up what shed done to him that second week .
It was all an act right from the get go .
Why she didnt care to be inside the pack , why she wanted to travel the world and be away 2/4 64 from him , wouldnt start a family with him .
It was not what she wanted , she was likely just biding her time till she found something better , he supposed , As he thought about all the things shed done over the years , he realised he was just a thing to her , a thing that could give her access to unlimited funds , give her status and fame .
Well , it was all ended for her now .
He stood up Belladonna , I will do as Alpha Gretta has requested , go home to the pack and find the truth of how this happened , I would never have accepted Carina if youd told me you wanted to stay with me .
It was actually what I was hoping youd do , that youd see her and get annoyed , be jealous and ask me not to reject you .
Tell me you didnt want to leave .
Id have gladly stayed with you as my Mate and Luna .
He told her truthfully .
She raised an eyebrow at him by way of response , and what more could he expect .
Hed never once told her he loved her , how hed truly felt , he didnt think that he could , due to her being so dismissive of their bond all the time .
Ill not intrude on your life here , but when this is all out in the open , I would like to meet my … our son .
Maybe be a part of his life as well , if you could see your way to letting that happen .
I always wanted us to have a pup or two , a family … he sighed heavily , because she had never wanted that .
Had gotten it , and then believed he didnt care about their child , just one more reason for her to not want to be around him .
I dont exactly know what will happen , and I understand you have two children , a son to me and a daughter to someone else .
I … I dont want to rip your family apart , but well have to talk about our son , really talk .
She just stared up at him , and then after a minute nodded her head , but still said nothing , likely she herself had a lot to think about , even now in this room , finding out hed never signed that contract , never wrote those emails , it was all a lie , shed not said a single world in this office .
Ill retire to my suite , so the boy can move about freely within his pack .
Ill only come downstairs for the actual mating ball , and then to head home in the morning .
He told her and looked at Alpha Aston .
I think Alpha Gretta is right , I should leave our son alone until things can be brought into the light , and the entire truth of the matter is revealed .
So , it can be explained to him in full , I dont want him thinking I never wanted him .
