Chosen just to be Rejected (by Jennifer Francis) novel Chapter 16

16 1605Words Parker Parker finally opened the file before him and turned the pages one at a time, going through it as he was supposed to as the Alpha.

Belladonna had signed everything as expected.

Though in there were things hed not expected, she had made print-outs of things she thought he needed to know.

Lists of things of upcoming pack events that were part of the Lunas duties to maintain.

All from her Lunas diary he realised, and for the next three months, not just one month, but three, so the pack would continue to run smoothly without her here.

Shed printed out a list of all the pregnant she-wolves in the packs due dates, not just the ones still due this week, but for every pregnant one.

There was a list of teens turning 16 and due to get their wolves on the next full moon as well.

A list of the jobs they wanted in the pack which he needed to sign off so they could have the job and be paid.

A list of the runners to be moved to AIN positions in the hospital over the next three months, their assessment dates included.

A list of the Mating balls that had been organised by her, for their wolves to attend, including the list of wolves she had signed up to go to each of them.

A list of the packs due to come here for a mating ball in two months time.

There was a note attached to one that he was supposed to attend next month that stated Ive pulled the pack from this mating ball today, via email.

Due to Luna Ceremony for Carina due here.

He stared at those very words, shed even gone so far as to pencil in the Luna Ceremony for her replacement.

He didnt think she would have done that, didnt actually think any Luna being replaced would do that.

But his Belladonna, she was considerate, it seemed, even of her replacement.

And once again he was back to not understanding her.

Who would do that? It was akin to a human bride planning her exs wedding to the woman that stole him from her… Where is Carina? Parked asked.

In a room upstairs, though she was very unhappy, she wasnt put in the Luna Suite.

I informed her that was where Belladonna lived and got snarled at instantly, about it being her suite and not, and I quote her, That she-wolfs.

Parker sighed And? And nothing.

I told her simply that, as a chosen mate, Luna Belladonna did not ever once grace the Alphas bed in the Alpha Suite, where she herself would be once marked and mated.

That seemed to settle her, and she went willingly to the room next to the Lunas Suite.

Parker nodded as he looked at Belladonnas pack file photograph, one last time.

She was smiling in it, and her hair was out, looked happy, he thought, though now he wondered if she had ever actually been happy here.

He closed that file on her lovely face, hed not look at it again.

File this in the archives, please.

Where I dont have to look at it anymore.

He watched Kane take it and the man stared at him.

So, youre really just going to let her go then? Not go out there and bring her back? Yes, its what she wants.

Parker stated simply, she was inside her mind just something sold to him, even after eight years together.

Was to him in her mind something just to be used by him, tossed away by him, when he was done with it.

Shed now been released from him to finally go and live her life as she chose to.

He would let her, regardless of the fact that he loved her, she wasnt his Goddess-Gifted, and she had the right to be free of him.

That she aspired to be a pack doctor, was completing a residency and, despite being the Alphas youngest daughter and not the oldest, as it would sometimes normally be, she was the most promising of his daughters.

So the one that was the most fitting for a pack dealing.

It may have been her father that suggested a mating alliance to stop the s*******r hed seen coming, but Parker had only agreed to it, if those wolves hed been hunting for and found were in that pack of his, forced to be there a long time ago, were released to him as well, and to make that man stick to the deal he would also get to choose the she-wolf to be mated off to him.

Hed actually chosen Belladonna to be his Mate and Luna, because shed been beautiful and clearly intelligent, would be an asset to his pack, and likely the only one of his daughters that mand hadt wanted to give up.

Now all he could do was set her free and hope he would come across her one day and see her happy, healthy, and doing what she loved to do.

That she would find her Goddess-Gifted and get to be all loved up, have a family of her own.

Though he didnt relish seeing her with a child or children of her own, not when hed wanted pups with her, and shed not with him.

Parker stood and headed for his suite.

Hed had a long and painful day; his chest still ached from their rejection, and he knew Belladonna was right in her statement of if he went and Marked and Mated his Goddess-Gifted Mate, Carina.

That his pain would vanish instantly.

Though the memories would still be there, the love he felt, that wouldnt vanish overnight.

No, it would just see the pain of their bond being severed would go away; that was all.

His new Mate, would be all consuming for him and his beast as well, so this would help with getting over Belladonna.

He sighed as he walked up the stairs.

Perhaps it was time to go and do that.

Maybe he just needed to accept Carina in order to get over what was no longer his.

Had he now realised, never been his; not for a single second of the time she was here, marked and mated by him.
