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.
Bella nodded.
Its quite detailed on my role and what was required of me.
How did he treat you in those years? Gretta asked.
She shrugged I don’t hate the man, if thats what you want to know.
He never laid a harmful hand on me, barely spoke to me on any given day, nodded to me in passing.
Unless he needed me to do something or wanted something from me.
He followed that mating alliance to the letter.
Never betrayed me either.
I attended to all the Lunas duties as he expected me to as well.
But rejected you instantly.
You two never bonded properly? Hailey sighed.
Eight years is a long time for a bond not to be formed.
Clearly you were in his bed though.
She waved a hand at Bellas still flat stomach.
Technically, I rejected him, and he accepted it, and yes, we had s * x often.
She shrugged but no, we never bonded to each other, both just … indifferent to each other, I guess you could say.
Wait, wait, wait, go back a step, Alpha Parker not only allowed you to issue a rejection, but he accepted it when you did? Gretta was frowning now, deeply so, and she knew why most Alphas would be the one to issue a rejection, not his Luna.
Yes, either of us could issue it.
Once he found his Goddess Gifted, were both Alpha blooded.
He brought her to his pack, walked her right into the packhouse, where he had asked me to meet him, so I could see her, I suppose, making it clear to me, he wanted to claim her.
Which meant a rejection could and was going to be issued.
It was done in the privacy of his Alphas office.
She explained it to them, as she realised they were actively asking her question because they were now investigating her, she thought.
Doing what all council members did, trying to dig into the truth.
How long before that rejection was issued? And was his mate in the room to see it? Hailey asked her.
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 doesn’t really make that much sense.
The eight years also bothers me, she turned back to Belladonna.
Unless the two of you actually didn’t 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 don’t mind my asking a private question, I don’t 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 he’d complained about it.
Lets talk about your pup.
Gretta stated He didn’t pick it up, You were pregnant when he came home with his Fated Mate.
You didn’t smell different to him? No, we had s * x the morning before he went off to that mating ball inside another pack.
I believe that’s 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 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.
Belladonna
She smiled at them, Sorry, prattled on there, the doctor in me, you see.
So, by that deduction, when Parker came home and didnt pick it himself, I could only have been four days along.
I also know Parker would never have allowed me to leave if he knew I was pregnant, he often told me it would nice if we had a pup.
She shrugged He wanted one, certainly tried to get one, knotted me outside of my heat that last time we had s * x.
He liked the feeling of it, did it often.
None in the room, not even the Gamma picked it up? Gretta asked now.
Bella shook her head.
He couldn’t have, because not even I or my wolf Freya knew.
I’m only eight days now.
His new mate? Hailey asked.
Hmm, Carina.
She did not like looking at me, knowing I was mated to her fated mate and had to wait for him to reject me before they could claim each other.
Which she did have to do.
