Chosen Just To Be Rejected by Jennifer Francis novel Chapter 66

Parker

The trip back to the Lustrous moon was made in silence by Parker. He was more than ticked off about all that he had learned had been done to him. He couldn’t even call that woman and demand answers. She might well flee the pack knowing he was going to come back and take a piece of her; and not a small one.

Carina would understand that this would be the thing that saw him break their mate bond. Something she didn’t want to happen because she was considered to be married to one very wealthy man; she liked his money and spending it.

She was in that pack right that minute, and he couldn’t even so much as tell her not to leave it, not that he thought she would. She had no money to her name right this minute, she was still waiting for him to give her access to pack funds once again. She was still living off of her own money, which was non–existent, because she was not a good model.

He couldn’t understand how a Goddess–Gifted could do this, if she’d had a child with another prior to meeting him, he would have accepted the child. It wasn’t the bloody dark ages, blended families were all over the place, though he had to admit, only here in the human realm. There weren’t all that many within the Wolfen Kingdom itself. Some of or most of those Alphas still stuck to the old ways.

He had to have Kane put a call into Katie and tell her to keep an eye on Carina and to call him if she looked like she was going to be leaving the pack for anything at all. He didn’t want her leaving it, but didn’t want her to have a heads–up on him finding out that she had betrayed him all those years ago either.

She was still living inside the Luna’s suite, and that wasn’t about to change. He was done, they were over regardless of what they were to each other, regardless of what she was going to come up with for her reasons as to why she’d done this.

There were no valid reasons in his eyes, to see him not know about his son and heir, denying him the right to know of his child, be a part of his life. Especially when she herself wasn’t willing to have children with him. He wanted a family, always had, and she’d not only refused to give him one, but denied him knowledge of the child he had out there in the world.

All he could see when he thought about her now, were lies, betrayal and cruelty. She had no one inside the pack that would protect her either. Not even the pack’s Gamma was going to be on her side. Shannon himself had called her a bitch. His unit had all liked Belladonna.

They had all told him he should just tell her how he felt, go after her and talk her into staying. But he

couldn’t, not with their mating alliance. And not once he’d learned how she truly felt about being there.

She’d wanted her freedom from him.

He’d had no right to stop her from feeling free for the first time in eight years. He didn’t want her staying inside his pack, thinking she was still a slave to him. He’d not even thought hearing he loved her would have helped. She’d not loved him, and would likely have just told him that to his face that she didn’t.

Clary

He didn’t even think she would believe him at that time either. Yes, she was a kind gentle soul but had wanted her freedom. It was all he could do for her, and so he had not gone after her when he should have.

Selena was definitely punishing him for not choosing right, but if he’d lied about finding his Goddess–Gifted, rejected Carina inside her home pack and not told Belladonna at all; how would she feel when she found out the truth? Like he had betrayed her and he knew it. She’d likely still also feel like a

slave to him.

It he realised was a no–win situation, he would always have had to let her go and suffer the consequences. This was his lesson from the Goddess; one that she was really hitting him with, with all she had, he thought. For never telling Belladonna how he felt. Not opening up to her when he should have.

Not releasing her from the alliance deal he’d made, before finding Carina, he should have done it a few years into their mate bond when he knew he wanted to be with her properly, had fallen in love with her. Released her from it and asked her to stay inside the pack as just a pack member, a pack doctor and then, after a few weeks, asked her out the right way.

But he’d not done it, because that also meant losing her for a time, and he’d not wanted that, hadn’t wanted to be rejected by her, when he wanted her in his life, in his Alpha Suite and to be his actual Chosen Mate, but one that was not to be rejected. One he would have relinquished his Goddess–Gifted for, to show her how much he wanted her.

But no, he was too stubborn and set in his ways, and despite being loyal to his alliance deals, that specific one had bitten him right in the ass and left a whole in his heart. He now believed that sometimes a Goddess–Gifted came along, and was there to see if the Alpha or a Mate of the Chosen was actually worthy of her love.

The pack was going to hate her as much as he did right now, when they found out the truth of what she’d done, so many lives had been lost, so very many pups and she wolves, and they could all put it down to the current Luna and her deceit where Belladonna was concerned.

She’d stated she was in the Luna Suite, and he could feel her up there through the pack tether and his bond to her. Something that was going to be broken and in short order. ‘Get down here to my office. He mind–linked to her after he’d finished his actual duties with the new pack members.
