That had come as a bit of a shock to her.
She’d not known how old he was.
According to his human world profile, he’d been 35 at the time, they had a 15 year age gap.
She still didnt actually know if he was 35.
He could be 350 for all she knew, she still hadnt asked him how old he was, it didnt really concern her.
He barely looked 30, she thought, even now eight years later and apparently 43 years old to the humans.
That day she’d just frowned at the nurse, she’d stated they looked good together, it had not been a photo of the two of them together.
Bella doubted that there was a single photo of them actually standing together at all anywhere inside that pack.
There certainly wasn’t going to be one out here in the human world.
Bella sighed a little as she rubbed her belly.
It ache’d a bit today, the hotel food wasn’t agreeing with her, it was different to what she ate in the packhouse.
She tried to push that man from her mind once more.
He was bloody everywhere, it seemed.
It appeared it was going to be hard not to think about him, and not because she loved him, just because she’d been bound to him for so long, helped run his pack for her entire adult life; well all bar one year of it.
She had to find a way to stop bringing her thoughts back to that pack.
To Parker himself, they were no more, and she was glad of it, she reminded herself.
Shook it off and cleared her mind, walked over and refreshe’d that wolfen intranet site to see if she had any hits since this morning.
She could take on a human job in the meantime, she supposed, her medical license was recorded both in the human and wolfen worlds.
She could work in a human hospital, just wasn’t going to do it here in Oklahoma.
There were more doctors needed in the human world than in the wolfen.
Though she didnt really like the idea of wandering around in the human world scenting like a rogue female, all the time.
So, no human hospitals until she had a new pack to go to, then she could work in a human hospital if the pack didnt need her particular set of skills.
She huffed once more and got up to use the bathroom as her belly cramped.
It passed and nothing happened.
She shook it off, likely ate something that didnt agree with her, or had too much butter in it.
She came back and sank down to find there was a little yellow dot flashing on her own portfolio, indicating someone had accessed it and wanted to converse with her.
Belladonna
She clicked the button as she sat to read the message, and she was more than surprised by it.
It was from an Alpha Gretta of a Wolfen College out in New Mexico, and she was requesting a meet and greet for an interview.
Stated there at Alpha College, dislocations and broken bones happened all the time, and that if she was interested, she could take up a two year residency and finish off that orthopaedic residency she was in the middle of within the college itself.
To call her back, to discuss it, and then her in office hours were listed.
Bella checked the time and the location of that Alpha College, it was two states away, and Alpha Gretta should still be in her office so she put that call in right away.
Happy to be able to find work and in an Alpha College, she’d never been to one of those before, so that would be interesting to see.
She was too old to attend it now, but it would be nice to know what life there was like, see if she’d missed out on anything important.
She might even be allowed to peruse the library and maybe pick up on some education, of the things she should have been sent off to learn but hadnt been, due to being a bastard child of the Alpha who had not rights at all to something like that.
But, an Alpha College that was a guaranteed safe haven.
For her, a Rogue female, no harm would come to her under the Councils watch, and she’d be among lots of Alpha bloods too.
That could be fun for her, she wasn’t that old and well might just be able to get her itch scratche’d.
She shook that off, had to stop thinking about s * x, she’d sorted her own needs out this morning, had to woken up frustratingly hot and bothered in the middle of the night, and nearly cursed Parkers name, for not being there to sort her out.
Gretta was nice, professional and asked where she was situated, wanted her to come in for a full interview.
Belladonna was quiet for a moment, then bit the bullet and told her she was of rogue status, that that had happened just a few days ago.
She heard the woman huff, then Gretta stated Do you feel you need an escort to come and get you? I can send some warriors to collect you.
then she’d just chuckled herself I could send some Alpha pups on a mission, they “ll love getting out of the grounds for a day or two.
No, I was given a car upon rejection and allowed to leave.
It wasn”t a bad situation that saw me go rogue.
Just now have no pack currently.
Hmm, between packs you could say.
Ill send through the address.
Where are you? Oklahoma City She answered.
There was silence and some typing could be heard, Hmm, thats an 8 to 9 hour drive … if you leave at first light you can be here by the end of the day.
Ill put you up in a room here at the college when you get here.
Thank you, Alpha Gretta.
No problem, youre alpha blooded.
Which college did you attend? Ill pull your records up and get a good look at you prior to your arrival.
Oh … um, I was never sent.
She sighed now, wondering if that was going to hinder her in getting the job.
Why not? came the reply.
She sighed heavily Bastard daughter of and Alpha, not well received or wanted.
Stupid man, Ill get his details from you later.
Ill see you tomorrow.
Take your time and if you get into trouble call me right away.
She thanked her once more and smiled to herself.
Checked the route on her phone.
It was pretty much a straight line west.
Just had to exit Oklahoma City on to highway 40 and stay on it until the Sandia Heights turn off.
An easy drive that would take her two states away; that was good.
