Chosen just to be Rejected (by Jennifer Francis) novel Chapter 25

25 Belladonna Hmm , how to explain that in detail , she thought about it for a moment , where to start , she supposed , then just stated plainly My father sold me to an Alpha , to stop a war between the two packs .

Bella stated simply .

So , a mating alliance with an invading Alpha , you mean ? Hailey asked .

Yes , I guess you could put it that way .

I had no say in it at all .

and she hadnt .

Literally had not been allowed to say a single word .

Her own father and Alpha at the time had come and Alpha Ordered her to not speak a single word , ordered her to behave as though she wasnt against the Mating .

To walk into his Alphas office when collected by his Luna and stand there , to be silently accepting of the mating alliance .

Shed not been allowed to say a single word , had been his order not one word while she was part of his pack .

So she hadnt been able to , she hadnt been able to say a single word until that moment , Parker had cut her palm and meshed his blood with hers , effectively releasing her from her own fathers orders on her .

She recalled actually taking in a deep breath and releasing it as shed felt that order fall away from her .

Shed thought her father was cruel before that , but had learned when he put that order on her , just how much he hated her , she supposed .

Shed never understand she didnt think how shed been created , but it would be nice to find out one day she supposed .

Mating alliances are difficult under those circumstances .

Gretta nodded with a sigh , Its one life for many .

But you should have gotten a say in it , and usually would have been allowed to voice your opinion , being an Alphas child .

Im the Alphas bastard daughter , she reminded Gretta of her words from yesterday .

Im the youngest of his six children .

I dont really understand how I was created and born .

No one would ever tell me or talk about it .

My birth mother , I was told , died in childbirth , and I was raised by my grandmother.

She told them it was the truth as she knew it .

I was the obvious choice , no one inside that pack wanted me around .

I was also not raised by the Alpha in the packhouse , but everyone knew I was his , he claimed me as his kin , but then left me at the same time .

She shrugged , not a nice father in my eyes .

1 His Luna , she hated me .

None of their legitimate children were ever going to be given up to 1/4 25 the enemy , when there was one like me floating around .

And they were probably just looking for a valid reason to rid themselves of me .

she shrugged .

Both Gretta and Hailey were frowning at her now .

She didnt think theyd like hearing her tale .

That is how I ended up mated to an Alpha , and became his Luna .

My life in a nutshell , I was Chosen , just to be rejected for his Goddess Gifted when she came along .

They were both just staring at her now for a long minute .

So , there is a mating alliance , that specifically states that then ? Gretta finally asked .

Mm , its quite detailed but has been null and voided now , he has found his Goddess Gifted , and we are now rejected .

Your Alpha Mate , who is he ? Hailey asked with a slight shake of the head .

Alpha Parker Hartly of the Lustrous Moon .

The mating alliance states he only had to be mated to me until he found his Goddess Gifted , and then can reject me for her .

Which is what happened .

He brought her into his pack four days ago now .

The rejection happened that quick ? Gretta frowned at her .

How many years were you two mated to each other? Eight years I was the Luna , to his pack .

Bella answered her .

You held the full title and responsibilities then ? Gretta leaned forward and questioned her further .

Yes , again , that was part of the mating alliance .

Hmm , a few minutes , like two or three , and no she was not , he had his Delta take her to get lunch , so it could be done just us , with his Beta and Gamma there .

Witnesses to it , I suppose .

The Gamma ? Shannon , a lovely man , helped me through the pain of severing until I told him I was alright .

She nodded I dare say it was why he was in the room .

We often worked together in the pack .

You had a proper Luna / Gamma relationship then ! Gretta frowned at her and shook her head as she looked at Hailey .

It doesnt really make that much sense .

The eight years also bothers me , she turned back to Belladonna .

unless the two of you actually didnt like each other , argued and fought all the time , a bond should have formed .

Agreed , Hailey commented , considering they were sleeping together .

How often did that happen ? If you dont mind my asking a private question , I dont care , not really , every other day , and I went into heat once a year , though weirdly enough twice this year .

that had shocked even Parker , not that hed complained about it .

Lets talk about your pup .

Gretta stated He didnt pick it up , that you were pregnant when he came home with his Fated Mate .

You didnt smell different to him ? No , we had s * x the morning before he went off to that mating ball inside another pack .

I believe thats when the pup was conceived .

That is all I can put it down to .

Because I was in heat the week prior to that , it had been over for all of three days before he went to that mating ball .

So , if it was from the heat , Id be between eight and twelve days along .

The pup is 3/4 25 pure blooded and growing fast .

I know it only takes between seven and ten days for she wolf to smell different to their mate when pregnant .

Nine to fourteen for the heartbeat to be picked up , and 14 to 21 days before the s * x of the pup can be determined , though that depends on the bloodline of the she wolf , can take up to six weeks .

She shrugged .
