78 Belladonna She stood with Whit and saw Parker and Kane off from the packhouse stairs .
A part of her couldnt really believe he was actually leaving and going back to his pack without Whit .
Hed told her and Whitney that he would come back in a month to spend four or five days getting to know them .
That theyd eventually work out a custody agreement of some sort .
She knew hed already gotten permission from Aston to come back and be in the pack .
She had been there when Parker had discussed it .
Whit looked up at her after Parker left .
Hes weird .
He murmured and even Aston chuckled from next to her .
Its not weird Whit .
Parker is just trying to show you that he respects not only your decision , but Bells as well .
Though I personally dont know many Alphas who would do what hes doing .
Which is why its weird , Whit stated .
Which is what exactly ? Bella asked .
Allowing you to see that it is your choice , but at the same time showing both you and Whit that he wants you inside his pack .
That he would like to instate Whit as his heir , but that he wont do so unless Whit himself wants that .
Aston smiled at her .
Hes being respectful of you , Bell , treating you like an Alpha , and treating Whit as his son who he wants to get to know properly .
I think the man will wait patiently for the two of you to make a decision and even respect what it will be .
Regardless of if its not what he wants .
What decision ? Whit asked , looking at Aston with a slight frown .
Moving to his pack , that is what he wants .
But he wants it to be completely your decision .
I dont see Parker just trying to pack you up and take you back to his pack like so many others would do .
Aston nodded .
I dont think that is who he is .
Hed get his butt kicked by the Luna if he tried it .
Whit chuckled .
Yes , he would .
Aston nodded .
But thats not the reason for him waiting Whit .
Aston stated and waved Whit off , and the boy headed for school .
How do you feel Bell ? he asked her .
I dont know .
She answered honestly .
Ive never thought about going back .
And she hadnt , but now she knew that Parker had been robbed of knowing about Whit and he had files on her home pack inside his pack .
Files he was willing to let her look at .
Hed also offered to look into 1/4 78 +8 Point her mother .
Who she was , and maybe he could find out where she was .
I should go to the hospital , she stated and Aston nodded .
She attended rounds and sat in her office , and did something shed not done before : logged into the intranet and checked on her home pack .
She had never been interested in knowing what was going on inside that place , because shed not liked growing up there .
She put the packs name in and stared at the words Pack Dissolved .
There was no pack anymore .
She clicked on the link that was attached to it and found out that it had been dissolved 7 years ago under her half brothers reign .
Lack of growth was the reason why .
She could see that the pack had been barely 200 wolves when it had been dissolved and that those wolves had been sent to other packs .
There was a list of packs that the wolves had gone to , though it didnt state who went where .
She understood that , it was likely to protect them .
She read down the list and shook her head .
Some of those wolves were in Parkers subsidiary packs , but none in the main pack .
After his words about her father , she doubted any of her actual family or siblings were there .
Certainly not her father or the Luna she didnt think .
She put her fathers name into the search bar and found that hed been sent to the Wolfen Kingdom along with his Luna for crimes against wolves , it read .
The date preceded the dissolving of the pack .
She sighed and leaned back in her chair and wondered if her mother was one of the wolves that Parker had stated had been enslaved into his pack .
She couldnt even put the womans name into the search bar because she didnt know it .
Freya claimed to be her mothers wolf but had never stated her mothers name , not once .
It was odd , but she wouldnt cough it up , simply stated Leave her be , she needs peace .
Those words echoed inside her mind along with Parkers Your father was a brute .
And she just knew her mother had not been a willing participant in her conception .
Though her grandmother had told her hed not wanted it either .
Her brain was ticking and trying to come up with how that could come about .
She put her former Lunas name into the search bar , and it read the same as her fathers ; crimes against wolves .
So likely the two of them were both rotten and had done something .
She wondered about that very thing .
Thought about herself , knew that shed not been the only baby born that year .
There had been an explosion of wolfen pups all around the same time she was born .
Kind of like what happened when shed gone into heat when mated to Parker , and a few months later between 40 and 60 pups would be born .
2/4 +8 Point 78 She was staring at her computer , her thumb tapping absently as she thought about it .
What if her mother was just like her ? Though Bella also now knew that if she had s * x on a super moon , if she got all hopped up and mated like crazy , that also produced a mass explosion of pups here within the Hollowed Moon .
She didnt go into heat but was affected by the closeness of the moon to the earth , though that had only happened after being Mated by Parker .
Shed not really been affected by it prior to that .
That was a full curiosity , the Hollowed Moon had grown a lot over the years .
She wondered if being mated negated the effects of the super moon on her , or having a heat did that .
If whatever it was about her only happened to her after being mated by a wolf and if rejected , the super moon continued the effects of whatever type of wolf she truly was .
Freya wasnt allowed to show herself because shed be treated just like her mother was , she just knew it all had to be related to who her mother was , maybe what she was .
Though she had been wolfen if Freya was her wolf .
She sighed , it was all too confusing and too much of the unknown .
She couldnt figure it out without any knowledge of her mother .
Freya about my father .
Stay away from him .
Hes not a nice man .
Parker is right about that .
Leave it all alone lest your life become like hers .
Freya yawned .
Im tired , I need to sleep .
What was her life like ? Bella asked before letting her wolf sleep , Horrible , mated by many Alphas , for their own sick wants to become stronger .
What ? that confused her .
Ill tell you later , when you need to know .
Freya muttered .
Do you think father got rid of me willingly or was it just his Lunas doing ? she asked .
Willingly on both of their behaves , because you were not like your mother .
So you were of no use to them .
Or that is how I made it appear .
What ? You are just like her .
I hide that from the world as best I can .
Despite what Selena states .
Im protecting you , not causing you harm .
Freya sighed inside her mind .
Bella sighed herself now .
She had no idea what Freya and Selena talked about , because she was rendered unconscious by her own Goddess , so she wasnt privy to their discussions .
You dont make sense to me , you know that , right ? Mm , its just how it needs to be .
One day youll understand my will and intent .
Freya yawned I 3/4 78 sleep now , three babies are coming tonight +8 Points What ? There arent any due .
Bella frowned deeply now .
But come they will .
Freya told her and rolled over inside her mind to settle down and go to sleep .
Freya was not wrong .
That night , three babies came during the night , one girl and two boys and all of them were not due for two to three weeks , but there they were , healthy little babies , safely delivered by herself and her team of nurses .
Then Freya was yawning inside her mind once more .
She felt exhausted to Bella , and it worried her , Freya , are you okay ? she asked her wolf .
Yes , just tired , my work here is nearly done .
Freya answered , Ill slumber for a long time when its completed .
Its normal , you will be fine and so will I.
was all her wolf told her .
Though it still bothered Bella , Freyas once brilliantly sparkling eyes were now dark and only glinted a little inside her mind before Freya closed her eyes , and was once again sleeping .
She had never truly understood her wolf and had the distinct feeling that Freya was dying but wouldnt voice it out loud .
That the slumber shed just talked of was not sleep but death , coming to claim her .
Shed claimed to be her mothers wolf , perhaps she was no ones wolf .
Just a soul that was bound to live a long lonely life with no human counterpart of her own .
So latched onto anyone around her and took up residence in their body when their other human died .
Was this why Selena always appeared annoyed with Freya when looking at her ? Was that why Freya told her with full certainty that she had no mate down here in the human realm ? Was it simply that she didnt have one at all and Freya knew this to be true because she was old , maybe ancient even ? 8
