Chosen Just To Be Rejected by Jennifer Francis novel Chapter 16

Parker

Parker finally opened the file before him and turned the pages one at a time, going through it as he was supposed to as the Alpha. Belladonna had signed everything as expected.

Though in there were things he’d not expected, she had made print–outs of things she thought he needed to know. Lists of things of upcoming pack events that were part of the Luna’s duties to maintain. All from her Luna’s diary he realised, and for the next three months, not just one month, but three, so the pack would continue to run smoothly without her here.

She’d printed out a list of all the pregnant she–wolves in the pack’s due dates, not just the ones still due this week, but for every pregnant one. There was a list of teens turning 16 and due to get their wolves on the next full moon as well. A list of the jobs they wanted in the pack which he needed to sign off so they could have the job and be paid. A list of the runners to be moved to AIN positions in the hospital over the next three months, their assessment dates included.

A list of the Mating balls that had been organised by her, for their wolves to attend, including the list of wolves she had signed up to go to each of them. A list of the packs due to come here for a mating ball in two months‘ time. There was a note attached to one that he was supposed to attend next month that stated ‘I’ve pulled the pack from this mating ball today, via sss. Due to Luna Ceremony for Carina due here.‘

He stared at those very words, she’d even gone so far as to pencil in the Luna Ceremony for her replacement. He didn’t think she would have done that, didn’t actually think any Luna being replaced would do that. But his Belladonna, she was considerate, it seemed, even of her replacement.

And once again he was back to not understanding her. Who would do that? It was akin to a human bride planning her ex’s wedding to the woman that stole him from her…

“Where is Carina?” Parked asked.

“In a room upstairs, though she was very unhappy, she wasn’t put in the Luna Suite, informed her that was where Belladonna lived and got snarled at instantly, about it being her suite and not, and I quote her, ‘That she–wolfs‘”

Parker sighed “And?”

“And nothing. I told her simply that, as a chosen mate, Luna Belladonna did not ever once grace the Alpha’s bed in the Alpha Suite, where she herself would be once marked and mated. That seemed to settle her, and she went willingly to the room next to the Luna’s Suite.”

“Alright.” Parker nodded as he looked at Belladonna’s pack file photograph, one last time. She was smiling in it, and her hair was out, looked happy, he thought, though now he wondered if she had ever actually been happy here. He closed that file on her lovely face, he’d not look at it again. “File this in the archives, please. Where I don’t have to look at it anymore.”

He watched Kane take it and the man stared at him. “So, you’re really just going to let her go then? Not go out there and bring her back?”

“Yes, it’s what she wants Parker stated simply, she was inside her mind just something sold to him, even after eight years together. Was to him in her mind something just to be used by him, tossed away by him, when he was done with it.

She’d now been released from him to finally go and live her life as she chose to. He would let her, regardless of the fact that he loved her, she wasn’t his Goddess–Gifted, and she had the right to be free of him.

He’d never actually seen her unhappy here inside his pack, so he’d believed she was happy staying here with him, only now did he realise it was all because that Mating Alliance meant he owned her, and she had to be here. She’d always been indifferent to him but never said no to him.

Stated she was the best option if he expected the Mating alliance to be held up. That she aspired to be a pack doctor, was completing a residency and, despite being the Alpha’s youngest daughter and not the oldest, as it would sometimes normally be, she was the most promising of his daughters. So the one that was the most fitting for a pack dealing.
