Both Whit and Milly were much more settled today, knowing that their mother was awake and alert. He
left them briefly after breakfast, with his unit, in order to go and shower and change into clean clothes.
He mind–linked Annette to see how Belladonna was doing down there, and was informed there was still
no active knitting and no sign of her wolf, but she thought she was doing just fine, and that she’d treat her as a wolf–less she–wolf for now, and keep those antibiotics running and monitor for signs of infection. She’d stay on a 30–minute rounding for 12 hours and then be eased down to hourly for the next 12 and
then drop it to standard 2nd hourly until it wasn’t needed at all.
She appeared to be doing okay though she had frowned at hearing how much blood he’d given. As a doctor herself, she’d clearly not liked knowing that. He let it go. It wasn’t up to the unconscious person but
the blood donor in the wolfen world.
Though her still not having her wolf, after the sedation had worn off bothered him a bit, she should do, now that Freya was gone; have her own beast. He thought about that as he showered and dressed, and realised that her wolf had never ever been allowed to emerge, not once, Freya had stopped that from
happening.
So, that could be seen as she’d never gotten a wolf and so it might not happen until the full moon in 12 days‘ time, and only then, under the weight of the next full moon would she shift to her beast for the first time. Just like it would have happened at 16 but been denied to her. He would wait and see.
Though if it didn’t happen until the full moon, then Belladonna was going to have a permanent scar down the center of her chest, something caused by their own Goddess removing Freya from her, that was never heard of in their world, and he wasn’t about to go advertising it either. That was not something he was
about to record, not ever.
He’d yet to call Aston and Mala and tell them what had happened. They would be the only ones he would inform. He had a contract with them to let them know if something happened to her. He made that call
r from the privacy of his suite before going back downstairs.
There was silence on the line for a long time before Aston sighed himself, “She is alright though?”
“Mm, did you feel her sever from you?” Parker asked.
“No.” both Aston and Mala stated together.
“It is curious,” Aston commented.
“Whit nor Milly felt it either and two minutes? Someone should have felt it,” Park mused.
“Agreed, but maybe it was just part of the process and had to happen to re–bind her own wolf to her properly.” Aston mused thoughtfully.
Care
It is possible, though we did see her eyes flicker over the past few days, to indicate her wolf was looking about. It’s odd.” He sighed.
“Likely never get an answer, Parker. Selena and Freya do as they please are, well… in control of our lives at the best of times.” Aston mused. “How are things going other than that?”
“Good, Whit is settling in here and Milly has finally warmed up to me,” he smiled a little. It was a nice feeling to know that.
“So, do you think they’ll be staying?” Mala asked.
“I don’t know, I’m still open to them living in your pack Mala and visiting if that’s what they want. I’m not going to push them or make them stay here. I’d like for Belladonna to choose it for herself.”
“Hmm, likely she’ll choose based on what Whit wants, considering you’re an Alpha to a pack and he’s your Heir. Have you announced him as that yet?”
“No, just as my son. He’s happy enough getting to know everyone and I’ll do that only when he’s made a decision. I’ll have her call you tomorrow or the day after when she’s not so tired, no wolf healing, so it’ll be slow–going.”
“Alright, thank you for calling and letting us know.” Aston stated and disconnected the line.
He walked downstairs and collected Whit and Milly to head back to their house so they could put on clean clothes before going back to the hospital.
He was honestly just glad she was still alive, had woken up and known who everyone was. He wouldn’t care if she never got a wolf, it would likely be safer for her not to have one and remain wolf–less.
He ran a hand through his own hair as he waited for the children to get dressed. As an Alpha, he should
never want someone in his pack to actually be wolf–less on purpose. But as the man that loved her,
