He stated and changed the subject back to Parker.
There is something else going on inside of the Lustrous Moon pack, and its all about to come out.
If Parker was not the one to reply to Alpha Gretta, you might find those papers you have with his signature on them, dont hold any weight at all.
Only Gretta would know the answer to that, Bella stated, but she didn’t like the sound of it.
Are you not concerned at all? Aston asked her now.
Not really.
She shook her head.
Life is what it is.
I learned long ago to take what is dealt out to me, in a calm, accepting manner.
There is no point in fighting a battle you cannot win against.
So, just accept your fate is what you mean? he frowned at her.
You can speak up for yourself.
I know that, but I weigh the options of winning first.
If I cant win, I wont fight.
Its just a complete waste of time and energy, causes one stress and I dont want that, for me or Freya, for Whit or Milly even.
You, my dear, are too calm about everything, you know that, right? Its almost like you are not wolfen at all.
If you were wolf less I would understand your lack of anger and defiance on things he sighed and shook his head a little you are the complete opposite of Mala.
He chuckled softly.
Mm, she is a fiery one.
Bella smiled to herself But you love that about her, its why my attitude bugs you.
You think Im a push over.
He admitted.
Though there was anger in you today, the first time Ive ever seen that.
Took Parker by complete surprise as well, dumbfounded him, I think.
Did you not once get angry with him in your mate bond? Of what eight years? She shrugged No, there was no need to, he left me alone to do my job, I did my job to the letter, gave him nothing to complain about or get angry with me about.
Im not a push over Aston; I just dont fight battles I cant win.
Freya and I see no point in fighting unless its actually warranted and needed.
Weve also never had anyone harm us.
Not even Parker? he questioned now I know how you feel about being mated to him, were sold to him so? No.
she shook her head.
He never so much as raised a hand to me, raged only once, and not directly at me, about something i said that angered him, but stayed away from me afterwards.
she shrugged.
What about being marked and mated by him? Aston frowned.
I know that is not something you truly wanted, because you were sold to him.
Mm, I was.
Got that mating alliance to prove it, but Marking and Mating, he was actually nice about it, he didn’t want to hurt me and he didn’t.
That kind of surprised me to be honest.
Considering I was his enemys bastard daughter, I thought it was in for a world of pain at his hands.
She half smiled and shook her head, still to this day, nearly 20 years later she was still surprised at how he’d been that night.
It was nothing of the sort.
It was almost as if he wanted to take care of me, my needs, he was gentle and nice about it.
If I thought he liked me at all that day, Id almost say … it was loving.
Bella
Aston frowned at her now, for a long time, What was your relationship with him like? I don’t consider that there was one, not really.
I was his Luna as per the mating alliance, and nothing more.
I did everything that I was required to, including sating his s ****I needs.
That was part of the agreement.
She shrugged.
She watched Aston lean back in his seat and stare at her for a very long time, before he asked How often would you two have s* x? If you dont mind my prying a little into your mate bond with him, so I can try and understand just what is going on.
I dont see a problem with it, and Gretta also asked that very question, likely for the very same reason.
It was every other day, he liked the sex.
Did you? Aston asked Enjoy the s * x with Parker? he leaned forward in that chair to wait for her response.
She smiled a little at him, and his seeming eagerness to know the answer to that question, Yes, I enjoyed the s * x with Parker, it was always good, more than good most of the time, we got all the mate bond tingly goodness that you would get … And? Aston prompted when she trailed off.
Parker was not what I would call selfish in the bedroom, but why Aston, with all the questions? she knew he was thinking about something in particular, just not what it was.
Im curious as to whats going to happen, I guess.
If, as I suspect, someone passed themselves off as Parker, and therefore, Parker actually knows nothing about all of this, that he is telling the truth … Will you willingly go back to him, I guess? It doesn’t sound like theres any real animosity between the two of you.
You both got along, enjoyed each others company, so to speak.
Only in the bedroom.
She commented we rarely spent time in each others company other than having s * x, or when I was in heat.
She shrugged He also has a Goddess Gifted, so that is not going to happen.
Ill not be putting Whit in the position I was in, inside my fathers pack.
To be the hated illegitimate son, that gets treated like dirt by the current Luna.
And she would not be.
So, youll be staying here then? Aston asked her.
Yes, is that a problem? she asked right back.
No, we love having you here, just … I dont know whats going to happen, and come from all this.
