Some of them were pregnant or trailing children.
Some came fleeing war.
There were all manner of reasons why they house she wolves on council grounds.
All of those that were here currently werent in a good state, and looking for protection, looking to find a new pack somewhere safe for not just them but their unborn pup or children.
Investigations of claims had to be tended to properly, and assistance given, but medical care was usually needed in every instance, even if just for malnutrition or severe dehydration.
Bella sat and listened to it all.
There was it seemed a lot of work to be done here within the Wolfen Council grounds.
And they ran the Alpha College on top of all of that as well.
They were, it seemed, very busy trying to maintain the wolfen world here in the human realm.
She nodded to them both when they asked her if she was willing to take on the job, and stated simply Yes, I am happy to take the job, I’ ve not had a single day off in the past eight years, and am kind of at a bit of a loss right now.
I’m not at all used to not being needed, whether it be in the hospital or the Luna’s office.
Not one day off? she was questioned right away.
No, unless I was in heat, I worked every single day.
And she had done, had never once had Parker tell her she could take the day off.
So was always either in the Lunas office or in the pack hospital.
Between those two things she was busy all day every day, it was just what she’d gotten used to, she supposed.
They were both frowning at her, thats not very healthy, Hailey muttered.
Did your Mate not concern himself with your emotional well being at all? She shrugged, It is what it is.
Alright, tell us about you, your previous Mate.
I doubt you’ve told him about that pup youre carrying, correct? Bella nodded I have not.
Like I said, I only found out last night.
Did the math myself because would have been pregnant when he came home from that mating ball a week ago, his Goddess Gifted with him.
They were both frowning at her now.
Wait, stop there, you were a chosen Mate, rejected by your Mate, for a Goddess Gifted? Explain that please, in detail
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 wasn’t 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.
She’d not been allowed to say a single word, had been his order not one word while she was part of his pack.
So she hadn’t 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 she’d felt that order fall away from her.
She’d 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.
She’d never understand she didnt think how she’d 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.
I’m the Alphas bastard daughter, she reminded Gretta of her words from yesterday.
I’m the youngest of his six children.
I don’t 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 sametime.
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 didn’t think they’d 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.
