Parker

Belladonna was wearing simple soft blue and white scrubs, as she’d walked into the packhouse, talking to a male wolf who was also wearing scrubs much the same as hers, though she had snowflakes all over her top and his was plain.

Parker could see that he liked Belladonna, he could hear the flirtatious note in the man’s tone, but he

supposed that man could well be her boyfriend. The way she smiled and laughed at him as well, it was

completely possible.

She smelled exactly the same to him, no other venom ran through her veins bar his own. And only his bite mark could be seen. There was no overlapping to it, to indicate a second bite. She smiled at him though

addressed him formally. That irked him more than a little.

For the eight years they’d been together she’d called him Parker; at his request, after about a month of her being mated to him, and she’d still been completely formal with him, he’d told her to just call him Parker. She’d stumbled over it a few times, until she’d gotten used to it.

He wanted to sit down and talk to her, really see how she’d been, but she had other things to do, and didn’t appear to want to talk with him, had moved on in her life, and he could tell he did not concern her at all.

He watched her head upstairs and sighed internally to himself ‘She is going to see someone‘ Shannon interrupted his thoughts with a mind–link. ‘From what I got, he’s important to her, she’s missed him due to all the babies she’d had to deliver.‘

‘Oh…the wolf with her?‘ he questioned.

‘She likes him, more than friends, I dare say. Was the answer from his Gamma.

It was obvious they worked together all the time; he’d seen the title on the man’s scrubs anaesthetist They had probably just been in surgery together. She’d found like–minded people to hang out with.

‘Is she happy?‘ he asked his Gamma.

‘I’d say yes. There was no concern at all about seeing you either. I’d say happy and well settled here. She’s moved on completely.‘

Parker nodded. What more could he expect after she’d rejected him and left him to live her own life. She had gotten out from underneath him; no more being bonded to him against her will. Which was how she’d always seen it, though not how he’d seen it.

He sank down ‘She doesn’t want to interact with me or any of you.‘ he murmured.

‘Hmm, I don’t think she sees a need to. Is not part of your pack anymore. Came the answer.

‘Mm, addressed me formally even though I never made her do that.’ Parker sighed.

‘Protocol is all. Full formalities were attended by her, I did feel that.‘ Shannon stated ‘it’s good to see her, know she is doing well, living her life as she chooses to and is happy as well.

‘It is‘ Parker commented Though honestly, he’d thought she would have more of a reaction to seeing him for the first time in such a long time. He’d been hoping that there was still some sort of connection to her,

that made her at least curious about him or the pack she’d once been the Luna of Didn’t appear to at all.

He saw her come trotting down the stairs almost an hour later, he was still sitting there in the foyer. She

headed on passed him with a simple nod, and he figured she was heading back to the hospital, likely off to

deliver another pup. Then she hesitated and stopped walking, looked right at him, he stood “Yes,

Belladonna?” he asked, knew she had a question for him.

“How’s Annette doing?” she asked.

He blinked, wasn’t expecting her to ask that, but answered her “She’s fine, misses you still. Asked about a year ago, if I’d found you.”

He watched as she frowned right at him “Why would you be looking for me?” she asked right back.

“Annette wants you to come back to the pack, work with her once more. Still states you’re the best

OBG/YN she’s ever known.”

He watched her smile now and actually felt his heart flutter at the sight of it. He had to shake it off, it had not been something he’d seen often during their mate bond. Her directing a full–blown smile like that at him, kind of took him for six.

“Tell her thanks, are the deliveries going well in your pack?” she asked him.

“No, thank you.” she cut him off. “That is not appropriate at all,” she stated as her eyes moved to his neck and the filigree she would see there. He understood what she meant, because Carina was there as his Mate and Luna. He couldn’t really blame her. But it made him curious as to if Carina wasn’t there, would she intern or move back to his pack.
