72 Bella It had been just over two weeks since Parker had been inside the Hollowed Moon , and shed received an email from Alpha Gretta which included Alpha Aston as well .
A formal letter to inform her and her Alpha of the outcome of Alpha Parker Hartlys investigation within his own pack .
Then the Wolfen Councils own investigations into the former Luna of Lustrous Moon ; Carina Lewis .
Of those that had helped her in her deception of her Mate and Alpha ; who shed pledged loyalty to, but had never been loyal to at all .
Carina Lewis had kept from Alpha Parker the knowledge of him having a child with his previous , but rejected Luna of Lustrous Moon , Belladonna Harrington .
It was seen that Carina , with the help of her father , one Beta Gregory Lewis , had told his daughter what to do and how to do it .
Hed had dealings and conversations with Parker and had also checked emails in secret between Parker and his own Alpha to see how Parker worded things .
It had been Gregory Lewis that had mocked up and sent the responses to his daughter for her to retype from Parkers own emails so it would look like they were from Alpha Parker Hartly .
Hed told her that before responding at all she needed to get him to leave the pack and have him fully distracted .
To do this , she had to have his human world reputation or business take a massive hit , to create something that would see him and his business come under bad press and drop shares in the stock market , so that it would need his undivided attention .
That Carina was now in a wolfen prison on Council grounds , and they were hunting for her father .
He had vanished from his home pack with what the Wolfen Council believed was an attempt to avoid punishment by the Wolfen Council for helping to deceive them .
She shook her head and sighed as she sat at her desk in the study of the orphanage , and not because Gregory Lewis hadnt been caught , but because both Whit and Parker had been screwed over and out of their father / son bond .
And she didnt know what to do about that at all .
Though her thoughts were interrupted by Alpha Aston requesting she come to his office , she made her way there .
Mirror was still here , she simply excused herself to go and see the Alpha .
Knocked on Astons open door and was waved in when she got there .
1/4 72 He smiled at her , though only briefly , and asked her to have a seat .
She sat next to Simon on the couch at his direction and Aston came and sat across from her .
Youve read that email by now , yes ? Mm , I have .
Bella nodded .
So have I … I think Parker will be here in short order to try and sort things out , between you and him .
Meet Whit as well , Aston stated , getting right to the point .
It is likely .
She could only agree with his thoughts on the matter .
Im not going to deny him his rights if that is what youre concerned about Aston .
Its not , Aston shook his head .
Ive got something else more pressing , I also know you would never do that on purpose .
He smiled at her .
Ive just sent Alpha Gretta a separate email and taken a call from her .
She is now , I believe , on her way here .
To deal with another pressing matter .
Does it involve me ? she asked , seeing as shed been called to his office .
Yes , indirectly so , its more that it involves Whitneys current circumstances .
That made her frown .
What do you mean exactly ? Gregory Lewis , is inside this very pack .
Aston sighed and shook his head , Mala and Ben are off to bring him in now .
Mala was ticked off just a little .
A little .
Simon snorted .
Aston smiled .
Ive seen more anger and rage , he shrugged .
Greg told us his home pack , Alphas son had taken over and was a tyrant , and so he left not wanting to be a part of it ….
we dont judge , accept all , but now we know that is not the truth .
He fled that pack in order to escape the wolfen council punishment he knew was coming .
Bella sighed : He has no idea who I am or who Whit is either , does he ? Ive never met him .
No , he also lives on the other side of the pack , and has only been here for the past five days .
Aston stated , Id like you to meet the man that ruined things for everyone involved in this mess .
My life wasnt ruined , Aston .
I got my freedom , and I was able to raise Whitney as I saw fit .
I quite like my life to be honest , she told him simply .
Im happy to hear that .
But I know you quite well , Bell , if Parker had been informed properly and wanted to be a part of Whits life , you would have allowed this .
Youre not mean or cruel by nature .
214 72 +75 Points Mm , she nodded .
I would have , though I would have fought for my rights to raise him away from that pack and his new Luna .
I also think Alpha Gretta would have seen that happen , Aston nodded .
Circumstances change though , and things out of ones control can happen .
That they do .
she nodded .
She watched as Mala and Ben walked into the office a few minutes later with a man in silver cuffs .
He put up a bit of a fight .
Mala smiled .
Nothing Ben and I cant handle .
What is the meaning of this ? Gregory Lewis asked .
Ive done nothing wrong .
Aston stood and looked at the man .
Gregory , I would like to introduce you to someone .
He waved a hand at her .
This is Belladonna Harrington .
She looked at the man that was Carinas father and guessed he was just as rotten as his own daughter was .
And ? the man asked , looking at her I dont know her .
I heard you never met Parker Hartlys former mate and Luna , Aston smiled This would be her … we , myself and Bell here , just received emails from one Alpha Gretta of the Wolfen Council to inform us both of what you did nine years ago … Your involvement in deceiving not only Alpha Parker , but Alpha Gretta and Alpha Belladonna herself .
Which also leads to the regretful situation of Belladonna and Parkers son ; a pure blooded Alpha himself , being denied not only the right to know his father .
But the right to be instated as the one true and rightful heir to the Lustrous Moon Pack .
She saw that Beta stare at her more than shocked .
She smiled at him .
She stated simply .
He didnt say anything , but his jaw tightened at this knowledge .
He understood he wasnt getting away , was now going to be held prisoner until the wolfen council came for him .
How is it an actual Beta to a pack at the time saw fit to deceive so many Alphas ? Are you stupid ? Youd know the ramifications of something like that , Simon stated , shaking his head .
Alpha Gretta is on her way to collect you herself .
I believe your daughter is already in custody and has spilled all the beans on everything , including you blackmailing her , your own daughter .
Aston shook his head .
After helping her , clearly you dont care for her either , only out to get for yourself what you can .
When will wolves learn to just follow the laws? Mala sighed .
Shaming tree , Aston .
Aston nodded Go ahead Mala .
+15 Pom 22 72 Bella watched as Mala and Ben took that man from the room and found Aston looking at her once more .
What will you tell Whit ? he asked her .
The truth , I wont lie to him , she stated , Though he originally thought his father to be dead , because I never spoke of him , was why he never asked any questions about his father as well .
Alright , Parker will likely be here in a day or two , you know that , right ? Yes , the minute Alpha Gretta tells him he can come and meet Whitney .
Hell drive out here to do so , she nodded .
Alright , I just thought youd like the heads up on all that is going on .
