73 Parker He was impatient waiting on Alpha Grettas approval for him to go to the Hollowed Moon .
Shed asked him to wait on that ; until the Wolfen Council had done their own investigation into the matter .
Hed rejected Carina weeks ago , the very day hed gotten all the information out of her , only to have her stare at him as though she couldnt believe it ; that he would actually reject her at all .
Almost as if it had never crossed her mind .
Even after everything shed done , shed still thought that hed stay attached to her , and solely because she was his Goddess Gifted Mate , had in fact yelled that at him , You cant reject me , Im your Goddess Gifted Mate .
Hed stood there in the cells and just stared at her , because anyone can reject a Mate bond , one just had to utter the words was all .
I can and I have .
Youd best accept it , or youll be in for a world of pain , hed told her , and shed snorted disbelievingly at him .
To which hed stated I intend to bring Belladonna and my son here to this pack .
Where I intend to win her over and have her become my Luna to this pack once more .
Which means I will Mark and Mate her at some point .
Im going to date her and in time spend hours in her bed .
Do you really want to feel all of that ? You would never cause me pain like that , Carina stated , staring at him almost triumphantly .
Perhaps once I wouldnt have , but you are now just a traitor and I no longer bare your filigree .
Its gone now , hed told her , and it was had burned off him in a matter of a minute , and though it had hurt it was nothing compared to how Belladonnas had felt .
Hed not clutched at his chest or felt like his heart was being ripped out of him , the pain was bearable .
He now wondered if that was because he loved Belladonna and didnt want their bond broken or her mark gone from him .
Or was it because of all the horrid things hed put up with year after year with Carina and their mate bond that saw him no longer cared about her , or their bond at all ? That hed wanted it to be over for years , but just hadnt yet voiced it , Hed learned a hard lesson from this she wolf .
Hed learned that how not being open and honest about his feelings could see ones life ruined and in more ways than one .
Id accept it , or youll get those pains of betrayal Carina , long before I Mark and Mate 1/4 +15 Points 73 Belladonna , I imagine .
Because she and I will have to get to know each other properly , its been a long time since weve seen each other, and Im not about to rush anything with her .
Youre a cruel bastard , Carina had yelled at him .
Hmm , just giving you back what you gave to me .
he nodded .
She could see him however she liked .
He wasnt cruel , blind at times yes , because he thought pledging loyalty to him and the pack meant a Mate would be loyal , but clearly not .
Alpha Gretta of the Wolfen Council will send for you , a few days at most , once I write my report on this , what you did and send it to her .
You might want to issue that acceptance of my rejection before then , or youll be inflicting pain upon yourself , so Id just accept it now , hed told her .
The Wolfen Council will never let you , Mark and Mate another while youre still bound to me , Im a Luna .
She sneered at him .
Not ever … So Im never going to relinquish it , so youll never be able to Claim that b *** h back .
She laughed at him You think Ill be punished ! But Ill not get a death sentence , and so I will retain your Mark and prevent you from ever having another Mate .
For the rest of our very long lives .
I am your Mate .
No one else will ever be .
Hed nodded at her .
That maybe .
Parker stated But Im not bound to you anymore .
Your Mark is gone from me .
So I no longer have to be loyal .
If you wish to stay attached to me , that is up to you .
Enjoy the pains of betrayal for simply refusing to let me go .
Im certain it will last for hours and be every night when it does happen .
Hed turned and left her there in the cells , left her to her own thoughts .
Though a part of him wondered if she was actually right , would the Wolfen Council , seeing she was still bound to him , refuse to let him Claim another , even though hed issued his side of the rejection , it could well kill her .
He wasnt certain of that .
She could , he thought , hold onto that Claim and punish him for their entire lives , if the Wolfen Council wouldnt allow him to move on and Mark and Mate another , simply because she , a traitor to him , to this pack , refused to relinquish her claim on him .
It was an unknown question to him .
Hed have to ask the council themselves but wanted to do it with Carina right there , in case they stated he could .
Hed escorted Carina to the packs gate three days later , to wait on Alpha Grettas escort .
He leaned on his car and looked at his gates .
They were a nice set of wrought iron gates that had a large depiction of the packs symbol in them , a large circle with swirls inside it , that to him looked like a moons lustrous glow ; all his subsidiary packs had a set as well , simple neat and clean looking .
He watched Gretta pull up , she was escorted by two wolfen guards , and shed looked right at 2/4 15 Points 73 him when hed handed Carina over , something that was a direct request of her for him to do .
She looked right at his neck and had seen there was no filigree there , then looked at Carina .
She wont accept it .
he stated simply .
Told me she will never , for the rest of her life , so I cant claim another .
The council will never allow it .
Im a Luna , and they will protect me from a brute like you .
she sneered at him .
Youll only be allowed to have a long lonely life .
Teach you a lesson I will .
That I always get what I want .
He frowned at her , and Gretta waved her hand at her guards to put her in the car .
Dont concern yourself with it , Alpha Parker .
Youre not bound to her anymore , I see .
Shell not die if you Mark and Mate another , because your bond is broken on your end .
Would be a different matter if you were still bound to her , but youre not .
Shell just be in agony until that Mark burns off her when you Mark another .
Then shell be released by Selena .
We of the Wolfen Council are not going to stop you from claiming another Mate , especially if its your sons mother, and she is willing to accept you back .
What ? Carina gasped as she was man handled into that car .
You cant do that to me .
Im a Luna ranked wolf , and youre bound by Wolfen Laws to protect me .
Gretta turned and smiled at her .
I can and I will .
Traitors have no rights .
She looked back at Parker .
Please banish her from your pack now , forget about her and move on with your life .
Whatever pain she suffers from here on out is considered to be … at her own hands .
He nodded and turned her rogue , banishing her from his pack .
Shed yelled at him from within that car about him having no right to do so , to turn her away from her own pack .
If it was truly her pack , he couldnt do it .
But she wasnt the one to have inherited the pack and wasnt the Alpha of it .
Please do wait on my investigation before going to see Bella and your son , Gretta had asked him .
Hed nodded and as Gretta had turned to leave hed looked at Carina in the back of the car and shaken his head , only to hear her finally issue that acceptance of his rejection .
She couldnt do it unless she was in earshot of him , or looking at him , to have it severed .
Wise choice .
He heard Gretta state as she got in the car , and then shed nodded to him and left ..
It was just on a week later when hed received her report and been told he could email Alpha Aston and formally request a meet and greet with Belladonna and his son , Whitney Hunter 3/4 115 Pai 73 Harrington .
Hed mused and wondered how shed come up with their sons name ? Though hed smiled to himself as he thought about it .
Liked it , he thought , his heir to the pack and the future of it would be Alpha Whitney .
