Parker

So Belladonna couldn’t scent him out, but she could feel their Mate Bond; she had all the sparks on her skin when he touched her. That was interesting to know, and it was no wonder she had snatched her hands back from him in the hospital yesterday.

It was likely she’d gotten the bloody shock of her life, considering she’d not been able to scent him as her Mate but then felt all the tingly goodness of their Mate Bond. It was also why her heart had raced last night when he’d touched her, or been up close and personal.

He was very happy that she’d confirmed she also knew about a Mate Bond being between them, and that kiss upstairs. He’d not been going to do that, but had then gotten the impression she’d thought he wasn’t going to claim her, even though everything he’d done and said told her he would be.

She was nervous about them coming back together, and he didn’t want her to be. He’d felt the need to reassure her in that very moment and kissing her had felt like the right thing to do, he’d also been right. The way she responded to him, kissed him back, slid her arms up over his chest and around his neck, pressed herself all up against him.

He’d wanted nothing more than to pull her back into his suite and take her to his bed. But he knew he should wait until Venus had emerged fully. Her wolf needed to be included in everything. It had been buried for so long that he wanted Venus to know that he and Vex wanted her too.

Then the way she’d looked up at him afterwards, he’d known that kissing her had in fact been the right way to show her that he would be claiming her on the full moon. He could only smile, he was going to do it the way it should have been done all those years ago. If Freya hadn’t overlaid Venus, he’d have known what Belladonna was to him the full moon after she’d come here, and he’d have claimed her then officially given her everything she was entitled to.

She, he also now knew, was not going to reject him either. He was going to get his family, all three of them, the woman he loved and his son and heir to the pack, and a very adorable little girl as well. He was going to spoil Milly rotten as much as he would Whitney. They were both his children as far as he was concerned, because she was their mother. Her family was his family and that was all there was to it, in his

eyes.

He thought about claiming her now as he went back to his office, and although he wanted to and so did Vex, he also wanted to wait and do it on the full moon like it should have been done. To stand there before the entire pack and have her scent him out officially as her Mate. To Claim her verbally in front of everyone so they knew they were actually Goddess-Gifted Mates.

He sat down at his desk a little annoyed with Freya for stopping him from scenting her out, and them being together all those years. He would have to sit and talk to Belladonna about it, how she felt perhaps. It was likely she knew things from Freya as he did from Selena, but that each other didn’t yet know. So they could both know the entire story of their separation at Freya’s will.

Though he could understand Freya wanting to protect Belladonna, but from her own Goddess-Gifted, that part confused him a lot. Why would a Goddess-Gifted harm their own mate? He would never have done that, would only ever have protected her himself.

Parker let it go for now. They had a lifetime to sit and discuss it, it wasn’t like they could change what had happened to them. All they could do was try to understand it and live with it, grow from it.

Belladonna was now his Goddess-Gifted Mate, and she was going to accept him once more; that was all he wanted. Nothing more he’d be happy for the rest of his life, even if it was just the four of them and there

were no more pups.

Though he would like to see her pregnant with his pup, hear its heartbeat and smell that scent of her being pregnant, touch her swollen belly and have the excitement of knowing he was going to be a father. All the things he’d been deprived of for the birth of their son.

Parker smiled as he found the paperwork from Austin and Mala, that they’d seen fit to draw up and give him, a Mating Alliance just in case things worked out between them. They’d known what his intentions were where Belladonna was concerned, he’d not kept that secret.

They’d also been expecting it from him as well, so they had drawn up a Mating Alliance for him and her. It was very simple and basic, there were no clauses to it other than for him to always protect her, allow no harm to come to her. That he’d always provide for her and the children and if things ever fell apart between them, she had the right to return to the Hollowed Moon.
