The moment he was done attending to arriving packs.
Mala had looked at her and shaken her head as they’d walked away from the ward, and muttered They can’t be punished, already injured, they are too rambunctious.
Bella had shrugged, though sometimes she saw Mala sigh heavily and not know what to do with unruly pups.
There were more of them coming into the pack now, with second chance mates as well as a few more orphans, and their ages now varied along with their temperaments and attitudes, which depended on how their former pack was run.
It could be quite frustrating for the long term pack members who prided themselves on acceptance, and no bullying or discrimination was a pack law.
But some came here and those things were already ingrained into them.
She’d seen Aston and Mala punish unruly wolves, cuff them with silver and children without wolves, teens, were made to stand around on the training ground all day long and do nothing.
Boredom got the better of them, and they promised not to do it again after being out there for 10 or 12 hours.
They were standard pack related things, where not everyone got along with everyone.
A few times, enemies of pack members requested sanctuary, and unknowingly, they had enemies within the pack, that had seen a fight or two break out.
It didn’t go down so well with the Alpha and Luna.
But Ben, as their War General, dealt with those wolves.
Bella left the packs hospital with Franny after making sure Hank was settled in for the night.
His mother was there, and she’d yelled at both her boys more than their own Luna had.
Bella had charted pain meds in case Hank needed any throughout the night and knocked off for the day.
I need a drink.
She muttered as she and Franny headed for the pack Creche.
I believe Holden has cocktails for the adults up there at his daughters birthday.
She’d chuckled softly as they went to pick up their kids, and they’d both laughed.
Franny was one of her regular social group, her new Anaesthetist.
She’d lost Reed to a Mate Bond two months back, and he’d moved on to her pack.
They needed him there, and he’d opted to go.
His job was in high demand.
Bella strolled into the packhouse with Milly on her hip, chatting to Franny who was carrying her daughter Harley.
Both Milly and Harley were the same age.
Franny also had a son a year younger than Whit.
Those two boys were out the back of the packhouse swimming at a pool party for one of their friends.
She knew Parker was here somewhere for the mating ball being held tomorrow night.
She had been informed by her Luna, but she wasn’t concerned about it.
He’d not cared the last time he was here, so why would he this time?
Belladonna? she heard her name and just knew it was Parker.
No one ever called her that around here, in fact only he did, or those from her home pack.
Her eyes moved about the foyer, and she watched him stand up.
Yes, Alpha Parker.
She answered him it would be rude not to He walked over, followed by Shannon, his Gamma Bella.
Shannon smiled at her.
Whos this little cutie? he asked.
My daughter Milly She stated simply, honestly and turned her eyes back to Parker.
His eyes were also on her daughter.
You have a family? he asked her.
Yes, I do.
She answered.
You look good as a mother.
Shannon smiled.
She’s adorable, all those red curls, got her father’s hair, I see.
Her eyes narrowed on him.
What’s it to you, Shannon? Nothing, shes cute.
I have a son whos four and looks to be the same age as this little one.
Do you want to see a picture? Not really, Shannon.
She shook her head and saw him blink, What did you want, Alpha Parker? she questioned him again.
To see how you were doing is all.
We didn’t get to chat last time I was here.
He asked.
Bella frowned right at him, she didn’t really understand him at all, though then again, she never really had.
Hadn’t really tried to either, she now understood, but that was a long time ago, Im fine, just like the last time you saw me.
If you don’t mind, Franny and I have a party to attend.
He nodded and she walked away.
Who’s that? Franny asked her curiously as they stepped outside.
She stated I dont get him to be honest, Franny.
Hes got a Goddess Gifted now.
Why bug me every time hes here in the pack? she shook her head.
She really didn’t know.
Franny chuckled. Maybe he still misses you.
How long were you two together? Its not that.
She murmured, and put Milly down to run off and play, a happy healthy little girl now.
She could see all the children from the orphanage were here as well.
