Aston frowned at her now, for a long time, “What was your relationship with him like?”
“I don’t consider that there was one, not really. I was his Luna as per the mating alliance, and nothing more. I did everything that I was required to, including sating his sexual needs. That was part of the
agreement.” She shrugged.
She watched Aston lean back in his seat and stare at her for a very long time, before he asked “How often would you two have sex? If you don’t mind my prying a little into your mate bond with him, so I can try and understand just what is going on.”
“I don’t see a problem with it, and Gretta also asked that very question, likely for the very same reason. It was every other day, he liked the sex.”
“Did you?” Aston asked “Enjoy the sex with Parker?” he leaned forward in that chair to wait for her
response.
She smiled a little at him, and his seeming eagerness to know the answer to that question, “Yes, I enjoyed the sex with Parker, it was always good, more than good most of the time, we got all the mate bond tingly goodness that you would get…
“And?” Aston prompted when she trailed off.
“Parker was not what I would call selfish in the bedroom, but why Aston, with all the questions?” she knew he was thinking about something in particular, just not what it was.
“I’m curious as to what’s going to happen, I guess. If, as I suspect, someone passed themselves off as Parker, and therefore, Parker actually knows nothing about all of this, that he is telling the truth… Will you willingly go back to him, I guess? It doesn’t sound like there’s any real animosity between the two of you. You both got along, enjoyed each other’s company, so to speak.”
“Only in the bedroom.” She commented “we rarely spent time in each other’s company other than having sex, or when I was in heat.” She shrugged “He also has a Goddess–Gifted, so that is not going to happen. I’ll not be putting Whit in the position I was in, inside my father’s pack. To be the hated illegitimate son, that gets treated like dirt by the current Luna.” And she would not be.
“So, you’ll be staying here then?” Aston asked her.
“Yes, is that a problem?” she asked right back.
“No, we love having you here, just… I don’t know what’s going to happen, and come from all this. So, I guess… I’m prepping inside my mind for all possibilities. Including you going back to Parker’s pack, maybe… even to Parker himself.”
“Parker has Carina, his Goddess–Gifted mate, so that will not be happening, Aston. It’s likely he’ll have to
some here to see Whit, if he wants to get to know him and be part of his life.” She reassured him “I also
have Milly as well, and he has no idea she’s blood bonded to me, or who her father is. I doubt he’ll try and separate me from Milly or Milly from her father.”
“But she has no father,” Aston commented.
“Mm, you and I know that. But Parker doesn’t know that. Let’s just keep it that way for now.” she nodded. ” It’s not his business, and he doesn’t actually need to know either.”
“Alright. I imagine at some point this afternoon Parker is going to request an audience with Whit. Directly from Alpha Gretta herself, seeing as she was the one to veto it, and you’re not willing to allow it either.”
Aston told her.
“I’ll deal with that when it happens. He’s my son and I still have all the rights for now. Whit is also old enough to say if he wants that or not. Likely old enough to choose which parent he wants to live with as well.” she nodded.
“Unlikely the boy will move in with a complete stranger and be saddled with a stepmother, that is not going to like his presence inside that Alpha Suite.” Aston nodded and got up. “I also don’t believe she will, from what I’ve seen of her. I’ll leave you to it, and let you know when Gretta arrives.”
Bella nodded and watched him leave her office, just went about her daily life as she normally would. She strolled into the packhouse at 11am to go up and talk to Whit, so the boy wasn’t completely shocked, and got overwhelmed by suddenly finding himself face to face with the man that would be his father.
As she walked into the foyer, she nearly sighed out loud as she saw Kane stand up, from where he was sitting, “Bella, can we talk?” he asked.
“Can’t it wait until Gretta gets here?” She answered him “I’m about to go and speak with my son, in case Gretta sees fit to let Parker be introduced to him.”

“Remind your Alpha, Kane. He is my son, and I’ll not be giving him up. There will be a fight if he tries to take my son from me. I will unleash Freya on all of you, I doubt you’ll like that at all.” and she walked off up the stairs. She could feel his eyes on her the entire way, he was watching to see where she was going and she
