This clause; about you getting to keep anything given to you, after a rejection has been issued and accepted.
Gretta stated, On a technicality, that could be seen by you, by us here at the Alpha Council, as that pup is a gift of life.
So, it is yours to keep, seeing as you were rejected and had also left that pack before you knew you were pregnant.
She heard Hailey chuckle, Now, now Gretta, calm down a little.
I know you like to pull these contracts apart to be in favour of the one you’re trying to help, but its already null and voided.
So there is no need for you to do that, pull it to pieces.
All we have to do legally, is to stay true to our own rules and laws as Council members, which is to contact the father and inform him of his pup.
From what I read, everything right at this minute is in Bellas favour already.
The rules are clearly written, born within a mate bond, this pup will not be that.
Hmm but he’s going to fight tooth and nail, I dare say, Bella did state he wanted a pup with her.
Gretta turned and looked at her He did? and Bella nodded in answer to the question.
Then he will want to know about the pup, regardless of them being rejected and that mating alliance voided.
It will be pure blooded, so I can only imagine that he is going to come in here, all claws out to retrieve what he will believe is his, when he finds out.
Gretta stated.
Hmm, he will come.
I agree with that, but Bella also stated that he wasn’t a brute, not mean and cruel, so I think its best if we just email him, and inform him of the situation, a simple letter should do it.
Go from there.
Hailey commented.
They stared at each other for a long minute before they both, Gretta and Hailey were looking at her.
Bella, what do you think? Gretta asked.
I dont know to be honest with you, Im not willing to give up my child to him, and relinquish my kin bond just so that he can raise my child, and it will never know who I am.
Bella sighed and looked from one to the other He’d likely make for a good dad … but I dont think his new Mate would be happy about it or treat the pup well.
she shook her head no.
He cant claim your pup as his Heir and demand you give it up, as the mating alliance states, its clause is clear and that alliance is now voided.
You also belong to me now, Bella.
Gretta smiled right at her.
So you have my protection as well as the Councils protection in this matter.
She thought about it for several minutes and both Gretta and Hailey gave her the time to think it through.
Then I guess you can email him and tell him, see what he does about it.
she’d argued with herself about what to do, not knowing what he would actually do because he had a new Mate and Luna.
Alright, you stated he’s got a Goddess Gifted now, and it has been what? Five days today? Shell go into heat tomorrow or could well be now, so well leave it to next week.
That way he can get back to us right away and not have to concern himself with leaving his Goddess Gifted in pain and agony, if it happens after hes contacted; to come here, which I suspect that he will.
That is a given, Gretta.
Hailey nodded Hell want to not only lay eyes on Bella here, but scent out his pup and then probably try and convince her in person that she should go back to his pack, to have that pup and raise it inside his pack too … Well have to set up full meeting about it, all four of us on the council here and Belladonna, he and likely his unit, maybe his new Luna even.
Its got nothing to do with her.
Why does she get to be there? Bella frowned at them.
Because it will affect her life as well, sorry Bella.
She may not even want to be a part of the conversation, but we will plan for her to be there. Ill leave it up to you.
My stance is simple, its my pup, and I’ll be raising it.
I’ve never gotten a say in anything in my life, and for once, I am going to not only state what I want.
I would like to have what I want was all she said on the subject.
She’d been shown to a place of residence after that and spent the rest of that week in her new office, tending to the wolves here at the Alpha Council as per her job title.
It was an interesting week for her.
She got to see her first Alpha to Alpha argument over who was the father of a she wolfs pup.
She didnt know and there were two males claiming to be the pups father.
That she wolf was not much further along than she herself was and the she wolf in question didnt want a paternity test, due to the risk that it could potentially make her lose her pup.
She wanted to wait for one of them to scent it out or it being born.
She’d never seen anything like it, the yelling that was going on between those two Alpha males.
She put a hand on the she wolf in case the yelling got out of hand, but she just sat there and stared at the two boys.
She seemed unconcerned about who the father was.
Neither were her Goddess Gifted Mate and she was of the opinion she wasn’t going to be mated off to either one of them just because there was a pup.
She put many she wolves that week on wolfen birth control, and yes, like Gretta stated, some came for a morning after pill to keep themselves certain they weren’t going to get pregnant.
She also stitched up a few of the prisoners here in the council grounds and spent time with those brought here for protection from being harmed by others.
Her life here was actually very busy.
Much more so than it had been inside a pack, though it was all doctor related.
She wasn’t the only wolfen doctor here either.
There was another, Dr Gil Dickson.
He’d been there for many years and seen it all he told her.
He was friendly and smiled a lot, asked her on a daily basis how she was doing, regarding being pregnant, if she thought the stress was too much.
The days moved on and she kind of forgot about Alpha Gretta contacting Parker until she strolled into her office one afternoon and sank down across from her.
Just sat there and stared at her for a full minute with narrowed eyes and then stated, Well, Bella, you’re free and clear. Parker is having a pup with his Goddess Gifted, Carina.
Apparently, she never went into heat got pregnant in the first few days of being there, they couldn’t keep their hands off each other, and she is just over a week along.
Bella had sat and stared at Alpha Gretta, Parker doesn’t want to be a part of this pups life? she’d questioned almost disbelievingly.
He has concerns about Carina being upset about it, so he is going to relinquish his parental rights, in order to keep her happy and stress free during her pregnancy.
Bella frowned at her now. She didn’t know if she believed that, then she was handed a printout of several emails that were addressed to the Alpha and Luna of the Lustrous Moon.
So she could see the conversation they’d had about her unborn pup with Parker.
