Parker
Parker had stopped walking as a thought occurred to him about Freya and how Belladonna had come to be here. “Freya is likely to be a Wolf of Destiny herself, she can override your own wolf, control you, I think, which means, the day you were Alpha Ordered to be my mate and not fight against it.
“She allowed, and then after that she would have heard about myself, my pack as well. You were in the room. Freya was in agreement to have you leave that place and come here… I was the better option for you to live under.”
“Even I think that,” Belladonna nodded. “You treated me better than anyone inside the home pack, as did the pack members here.”
“What if it was a test?” he asked thoughtfully. “And it went right up until you and I rejected each other, my letting you go. Eight years you were here, and even I knew it was your heat that brought about pups…even now, this could be a test in Freya’s eyes. My willingness not to just take Whit from you… Freya could well be testing me to see if I was the right person to leave you with…” it kind of made sense to him, considering how long Freya had been protecting Belladonna and her wolf, and now she had to leave.
Maybe all that time with Belladonna was about finding her the right place to live, somewhere that was safe, and no harm would come to her.
“That is a long game; 18 years.” She frowned at him.
“Mm not really in the grand scheme of things. We have very long lives and knowing what your heat did, and now hearing you explain super moons to me… An Alpha that was cruel or obsessed with money and or the growth of their pack, would never have let you leave if they’d figured it out.”
He sighed now, “Some would sell you to others to be used by them, even use you themselves at times. Which I am not going to do. I’m also still happy for you and Whit to return to the Hollowed Moon if you want. Though hearing this from you, I think travelling under full guard would be best.”
He watched as she shook her head. “Belladonna, if anyone finds out, you’ll be at risk out there. They’ll also likely think Milly is or could be the same as you,” he told her as they stopped walking. “I can’t let you drive back alone, it’ll have to be under a full escort.”
“I can’t leave, Freya said I have to stay here until the triplets are born.” She looked right at him and his gut told him there was more to that statement only she wasn’t willing to part with it “Freya is never wrong about pups,” she sighed “If I leave… Bridgit will likely die, maybe the triplets as well.” she murmured softly I’m needed here for now.”
He stared at her at that very news. He didn’t want Bridgit to die. It was not a nice thought at all. He sighed himself “Decisions are still being made for you, I see,” he muttered. Freya was still controlling her.
“But that one, is good for you also. Even for Whit.” She told him.

get that Belladonna But I want you to stay here, not because it’s good for those around you, but because you want to,” he stated, and he did mean that. Though he also thought that there was no better place for her than inside the Hollowed Moon if she wasn’t here.
A place she would be surrounded by warriors and elites, have and Alpha and Luna that would always protect her. She’d been safe there as much as she had been here with him.
“I can think about it, Parker, over the months that I will be here,” she stated. “It will give me time to make that decision on my own…though.” She trailed off
“Though?” he prompted.
“I’ll be bored shit-less and need something to do.”
He laughed at her words. He’d never heard her say that before “You may help out in the pack hospital if you want, not work there every day, but help out. Though what will you do with Milly on those days? Whit I can put into the pack school.”
“Likely I’ll put her in the pack crèche if you’re alright with that.” She looked at him questioningly.
“I am.” He nodded. “But this is something you’ll need to discuss with Whit and Milly. Not up to me, I’m happy to have you all here but if they want to go back.”
“Whit will be fine with it and Milly is four, though I’ll have to be at the crèche with her a few times, she may not like it with all new people around her.”
He nodded, her daughter had trauma “If not perhaps with Shannon and Nicky, they have a pup she gets along with, and she is starting to come around to me as well.”
“Mm, because you bribed her with desserts.” Belladonna shook her head, though smiled a little at the
