50 Parker He really did need to think about this carefully .
Rushing off to confront Belladonna wasnt going to be a good idea .
He also didnt want to hunt the child .
That could be a disaster , Belladonna was an Alpha blooded female inside this pack , a pack where hed smelled many alpha bloods .
She wasnt the only one other than Aston ; it had all manner of wolves .
Aston and Mala were renowned for taking in anyone that asked for sanctuary , regardless of rank .
It was one of the reasons the place was so strong .
They didnt even turn away other Alphas , they had no fear of them trying to take over the pack for themselves and Parker knew why that was as well .
Because they were all treated with respect , given a place to live and everything they needed , and looking at this pack he knew , trying to take on the Alpha , one would likely have to go through the entire leadership .
And even then , if they won , Parker doubted this pack would bow down to them , likely just see them be killed by others here , and the Alpha and Lunas children protected until they came of age at 18 and were instated .
There would be no taking over this pack from the inside , but it was a place where she wolves could come and bring their Alpha pups and not have them used as bait , or treated terribly in order to hurt the childs father .
This pack protected everyone , which meant Belladonna and her child , children … did he have more than one ? Had she had twins ? Parker ? Kane interrupted his thoughts .
Mina said she had two children .
Kane reminded him , of the last conversation theyd had about her .
He turned and looked at his Beta now .
I recall , I was just thinking about that myself ? I dont know if thats what it is , it could be shes had a pup with another while living here .
his Beta shrugged .
Parked huffed and ran a hand through his hair , as more annoyance rolled through him , it had been a year since he was last in this pack , she could well have a one year old , or a six month old , a newborn .
Or twins to him that were nine .
She could well have a Mate now as well .
That would certainly complicate things a lot .
Investigations need to be done , before any decisions are made .
He finally stated 1 , I need to 1/4 A Pont know if she is now mated .
2 , if not mated , is she in a relationship with anyone and if so , what rank is he .
3 , how old are her children , are they twins or are they different ages .
4 , if not twins who is the father of the other child , and is he here inside this pack .
Then well get to the why she didnt bloody tell me , he muttered .
So , how exactly do you want to go about this ? Axel asked .
He thought about that for a long moment .
Shed not said anything the last time he was here Its probably wise that I plead ignorance for the moment , He didnt want her suddenly hiding his child from him .
It was likely she knew that he was here inside this pack right now , and that child or children had free rein to be anywhere they wanted .
He wanted to keep that happening , so he could see if he could get a good look at his son or daughter .
He heard Vex snarl inside his mind at that statement .
He ignored it .
Follow new episodes on the
Lets try and get a chance to talk to Belladonna , see if shell openly tell me .
Ill likely have to bring it up if shes got a family now .
If she declines to answer ? Kane asked .
Then shes actively denying my rights .
He muttered Ill have to take it up with Aston as her actual Alpha , itll have to go through him , shes Alpha blooded and our pup will be pure blooded .
Add strength to this pack .
Thatll work , Parker ! Axel huffed .
That man will already know whose pup it is .
Theyd already been asked to steer clear of the back of the packhouse , there was a party going on for one of the kids .
Likely where his child had been going , and he had to respect the Alphas wishes .
It wasnt his pack .
Shannon mind linked to him as they sat there .
It was likely she didnt know she was pregnant when she left , and then , with you having a Goddess Gifted , didnt want to risk harm coming to herself or her pup .
His Gamma told him .
I would have protected them .
He stated .
You would have tried , you cant be there every minute of the day .
Youve seen it yourself .
Lunas hating … His Gamma sighed heavily .
What is it ? Parked asked him when he trailed off .
Thinking back , I believe Belladonna was just that … the Alphas bastard daughter .
She smelled different to her sisters , so a different mother , if I recall , Kane mentioned her mother died in childbirth .
She lived with her grandmother … The Luna didnt like her , I got that loud and clear .
Parker sighed now himself , she would have had her own thoughts on the issue when she realised in other words .
Shed also gotten to see Carina be , or try to be , very possessive over him when shed walked into that packhouse , angry possessive even .
So yes , his Gamma was right , Belladonna likely had what would be very valid reasons not to tell him about their pup .
Even though she knew he had wanted one with her , shed opted not to tell him , for likely , more than one reason in her mind , and Shannon was right .
He could try to protect her , when inside that pack , but the moment he wasnt there and that was every other day , anything could have happened to her , to their child .
He still wasnt happy about it though .
