Parker
He sat in that seat in Alpha Aston’s office and couldn’t believe what he was reading in that file that Alpha Gretta of the Wolfen Council had brought with her and provided to him. Sat reading emails that had apparently gone on between Alpha Gretta, Carina and supposedly himself as well; something he knew he had not done.
Something that had happened nine years ago, without his knowledge or consent, and just two weeks after Bella had left him, there was betrayal written all over this, and it had all started barely two weeks after being mated to Carina. That bloody she–wolf had betrayed him right from the very beginning, and here was the proof of what she had done. Multiple accounts of her lying to him over many days.
He knew the actual date now of when Belladonna had found out she was pregnant. It was in those emails, he also recalled the actual date that she’d rejected him. A day he still hated every year, and a day he was not in the pack for, a day he was never near Carina either. He spent that very night every year in one of his subsidiary packs.
He couldn’t bring himself to sleep in the same bed as Carina that night, and had certainly never had sex with her that night, though she had wanted to. That very first year, she tried to get him to have sex with her. Right at the time she knew he would have rejected Belladonna, she had come to his office even, and put herself on his desk wearing practically nothing and tried to get him to have sex with her in his office, on his
desk; not something she’d ever done before.
She’d told him it was their anniversary, and they should have sex to commemorate it. He’d stared at her a
little confused at first, it wasn’t their anniversary as far as he’d recalled, and so he had looked at the date
and time and realised, after only just a moment, exactly what she was trying to do. He’d looked at her and
then told her their anniversary was the next day, and she’d glared at him and told him this was the very
moment he’d brought her to the pack, so it was that day.
He’d put her off and she’d not liked it at all. He told her it was the next day even showed her it was marked on his calender for the next day, told her that they were even going out to dinner for it in the city. Something she’d organised herself, which she had, she’d picked out the most expensive restaurant in the city, and had booked it two months in advance.
She’d gotten angry with him, about him correcting her and reminding her that she was the one to book everything, and so he was sorry, but he had meetings to go and attend to in one of his other packs and needed to leave now, or he’d be late for it, that he wouldn’t be back until the next day which he had cleared his schedule for their anniversary. Then he had gotten up and left to go to one of his subsidiary packs.
Now to see that Carina had done this to him! And he knew it was her, it couldn’t be anyone else, she’d gotten that first sss, and responded to it even. She had realised in reading it, with all he’d said to her prior to taking her back to his pack, her having seen Belladonna, the way she was sitting playing with the pack’s children, being a good Luna.

That she knew he would want to bring Belladonna back into the pack, want to raise that pup as his heir. Carina knew he and Belladonna had been mated for eight years, that he respected her throughout their mate bond. He’d not accepted Carina on that full moon, because he’d not liked her attitude and he had stated he had a good Luna, had only taken her home for a trial period
Had not just accepted her, because he’d not liked what he’d seen of her in her home pack. He now realised he should have gone with his gut instincts on that girl. Just rejected her on the spot and kept Belladonna by his side, even though he’d known it would have been wrong of him at the time.
This right here and now, those emails, the signed contract before him, it wasn’t just one more thing to add to her list of unacceptable behaviour. It was a valid and legitimate reason to utter that rejection of their Mate Bond. She was never going to change, no matter how much time he gave her.
he understood right now, that she wasn’t going to change even if he gave her everything she wanted. Waited a hundred years or more, she was still going to be that entitled deceiving person he was coming to understand she truly was. She was never going to tell him about his heir, a son to Belladonna.
His eyes moved to Belladonna, Gretta was indeed right, she had done nothing wrong. She could have opted to say nothing, not let the Council contact him at all about their child, their son. But she’d agree to
