81 Belladonna For the past six months , shed not interfered in the growing bond between Whit and Parker , and she saw that Whit was now much more curious about the man and his pack .
Hed seen Vex on the surface , had met him officially now , and Parker had gotten permission from Aston to shift so that Whit could see his beast .
Vex was a large black wolf with a white halo band around his chest and over his shoulders and a white muzzle , and had a smattering of white fur along his cheeks .
He also didnt have the usual brilliant light green eyes of a wolf but were grey in colour .
Whit had stared at his fathers wolf , who was taller than he was standing up , had really looked at him and when Parker had shifted back hed asked him about his wolfs eyes .
Hmm , I dont know , they were green when I was 14 and got my wolf .
Turned grey when I was 15.
No one knows why .
Shed not even known he was an early shifter or that Vex had once had green eyes .
Freya had looked at him that day from behind Bellas eyes and seemed curious herself , though she kept her thoughts to herself on the matter .
Something had intrigued her wolf about his that day , but shed not done anything about it .
Bella was just sitting back waiting for the day that Whitney would ask to go and see his fathers pack .
She wasnt going to deny him that .
It was his birth right .
Today it seemed was that day .
Shed woken up to find Whit prowling around outside of her bedroom .
The sun was barely up , and shed woken because she could hear him pacing about .
Bella smiled at him and asked him what was wrong .
Hed looked at her and , for the first time ever , had looked to be uncertain about asking her something .
Shed hugged him as shed walked to the kitchen .
Whatever it is , Whit , Im not likely to say no if its a reasonable request .
Shed told him .
Um … Well … Parker is leaving tomorrow to go back to Lustrous Moon .
Im aware .
She nodded .
Though she wasnt going to say it for him .
This needed to come from him , to be his decision with no one elses help .
Shed expected it two months ago when hed started to ask her questions about Lustrous Moons Alpha Unit , and if they had children , something she couldnt really answer .
She didnt know the information .
1/4 81 +9 Point She had limited her information so that Whit would have to ask Parker or his unit about certain things .
Shed told Parker not to tell her either , so that Whit would have to ask him and help their bond form .
Hed seemed a bit shocked by that , but then had nodded and so when he asked her things , she could direct him to Parker .
Which she did .
Well … he hesitated once more , and she smiled as she made herself a cup of coffee and then leaned on the kitchen bench to watch him .
It was only early and the other children here were still sleeping .
He was up because he was anxious to ask her his question .
Youre not my son .
She teased him a little .
He would just say what he wants .
Mum … he practically whined at her , also not something he would do normally and she chuckled softly .
Whit , whatever it is , just ask .
Whats the worst that could happen ? she asked him .
You could say , no .
he murmured .
Correct , so its not that bad , just ask .
She prompted him once more .
He was looking at her , and she could still see he was nervous and anxious about asking her this very question .
But she patiently waited for him to speak .
I was , … Well , can I , um , can we … go and look at dads pack ? he finally rushed out those last words .
She stood staring at him for a long quiet moment and not because it was a no , but because that was the first time hed called Parker , dad .
Hed felt their kin bond for the past six months , but had stubbornly refused to call him anything but Parker , and hed always corrected Parker when hed used the word son .
Made Parker call him Whitney , not even Whit like everyone else around here did .
She was torturing him right this minute , and she knew it , not on purpose , but out of shock of hearing that one word .
Though as she watched his hands start to wring in front of him , she nodded and sipped her coffee .
Yes , if you like , she finally answered him Now was that so hard to ask me ? she smiled at him .
Yes , He muttered .
Youre so mean sometimes .
Bella chuckled softly , I know , I like tormenting you .
I also knew youd ask sooner or later .
I have been expecting it for a couple of months now .
W … What ? he turned annoyed eyes on her .
And you thought it was funny to have me be all scared to ask you that ? 2/4 81 +8 Paint Mm .
she nodded .
I have a weird sense of humour .
You could have just offered us to go there , he muttered at her .
Bella shook her head no .
It had to come from you , when you were ready and not before .
Youre asking because the school break starts next week , yes ? Whit nodded But … Well .
Ill be going with you Whit , and so will Milly … but Whit , you need to think about it .
What happens if you like it there ? she asked curiously herself .
Bella did understand everything about what was going on around her with her son .
That Parker wanted him inside Lustrous Moon not just for a visit but to live there .
He wanted to be fully acknowledged as Whits father and that he wanted to be able to announce him as the Heir to his pack as well .
All the things Whit was actually entitled to , things she wouldnt deny him either, but like Parker she wanted them to be on Whits terms .
I dont know , Whit murmured .
Youre not going to want to move back there , are you ? Not when you left it willingly , he muttered .
I did , She acknowledged .
The pack was nice to me , Whit .
I didnt mind living there at all .
I fitted in well , actually .
She shrugged .
Why dont you just go and see it , spend the Easter break there , I think you want to , and well go from there .
She smiled at him gently .
If youre okay with that mum ? he asked , but she could see the hope in his eyes .
I am fine with it .
Why dont you go and have breakfast with Parker up at the packhouse and tell him what you want .
To go and see his pack , Im certain hell be very happy to hear that .
Hes also not going to say no , she assured him .
Whit nodded and headed for the door .
She smiled , he looked happy right at that minute ; that was a good thing .
Bella mind linked to Aston Sorry to bother you so early Aston .
Im up and training , so its not a bother , Aston stated right back Whats wrong ? Nothing , I just thought you should know Whitney has just asked me if he , we , can go and visit Parkers pack … called him dad for the first time .
Ah , I see … Parker will know an alliance deal needs to be for you and Whit , little Milly included .
To assure your safety and free to leave his pack after the visit is over .
Ill see him after training , I imagine .
Thanks for the heads up , Aston stated and cut the link .
3/4 81 * 8 Point She waited for Milly to wake up and come downstairs , told her they were going on a tip , and she smiled Boat ? No , not rafting .
Whit wants to go and see Parkers pack , so well be going there , she told her .
Always Parker , Milly muttered and turned her eyes to her breakfast .
Her little girl was a bit jealous of the time Parker spent with Whit .
Though hed tried to interact with Milly on several occasions , her little girl wouldnt do it .
Shied away from him .
Sorry Milly , but he is Whits father , you know that .
Bella murmured and ran a hand through her curls .
Milly didnt have a dad and Whit was spending a lot of time with Parker when he was here , Milly missed her brothers undivided attention , she thought .
Whit doted on her when Parker wasnt there , but when he was , Whit went off to spend time with him .
It was only natural , but Milly didnt like it .
Shed sat and told Parker about Milly being rescued by the Wolfen Council from the black market , when hed finally gotten around to asking about her father and who he was , and that shed been bled to her , because shed fallen in love with little Milly , she was also bled to Whitney .
Hed sighed himself and seemed to understand her reluctance to him trying to get to know her .
He still smiled at Milly when he saw her and always said hello, but she often just turned away .
Shannon was the only person she would interact with out of Parker and his unit , and she knew that was because he was a Gamma and could charm her into being settled around him .
