Part 6: Meeting Whit & a new deal
Alpha Gretta
She sat at her desk and read the report that Alpha Parker had sent over to her during the day. She’d been in classes all day today. It had been all of three and a half days since he’d left the Hollowed Moon after that mating ball. That man had likely gone straight back to his pack in a silent rage.
She didn’t think he’d called ahead to pre–warn anyone; so he could get back there and just corner his Luna the moment he was inside that pack and had initiated his wolves. Or that was how this report read.
Though he had not actually harmed the woman, she was still his mate at the time. But he had threatened her, to ruin her pretty face, in order to make her scared of him and compliant to the questioning.
It wasn’t just her that had screwed him over, but that girl’s father as well. An actual Beta to another pack, a man who should have known better than to see an Alpha deprived of their heir. He would know the actual
consequences of that.
Parker had questioned Carina at length about everything, and it seemed that her own father had black–mailed his own daughter in order to get money from her. Parker did not know that man’s exact reason for blackmailing Carina but put the man’s pack, name, rank and the amount extorted from his pack
into that report.
It was his belief that Carina had not told her own father who she was trying to deceive, but the moment that he himself had brought it up with Gregory, that man had cut the line and now couldn’t be contacted.
Parker had called Carina’s home pack and spoken with the Alpha there; only to hear that the man’s Beta was missing had been for a day, that he’d turned himself rogue, didn’t believe he was dead because his sons could still feel the kin bond was intact. He didn’t know what had happened and had never seen it
coming.
Carina was in a cell, bound by a silver cuff, where Parker would be keeping her until such a time as he knew what Alpha Gretta or the Wolfen Council wanted to do with her, that he’d not harmed her, and as
much as he had wanted to take her head clean off.
He understood that she hadn’t just betrayed him, Belladonna and their son. She had also willingly colluded with others to deceive the Wolfen Council, which saw Alpha Gretta herself breach Wolfen Rules and Laws. That he was certain Alpha Gretta and the Wolfen Council would want to collect her for their own investigation, and punishments to be laid out.
That he would wait on Alpha Gretta’s response before dealing with her and deciding on what he would do to punish her. If Alpha Gretta didn’t want to punish her for the crimes of creating fraudulent contracts with the Wolfen Council itself; which could see their own names tarnished and lead to other packs no longer
trusting them. He would behead the she–wolf himself.
Gretta smiled at his very well–worded report. He had made sure that the council would see to their of
way
wanting to punish her, by stating the possible fallout; if they didn’t admit to it and investigate further for
themselves.
Claims
She had a feeling the man liked writing up contracts and reports. That he knew how to get what he wanted. She’d not only looked Alpha Parker Hartly up, but had investigated the man himself over the past. few days, and found he was well liked and respected among other Alphas.
He made good pack alliances and straightforward deals with his allied. He took many things into consideration when working on a contract. He listened to what everyone wanted, and it could take days to work out the finer details for a full allied assistance deal with a new pack. He never rushed anything either,
seemed to be patient.
So she knew he was going to stay inside his own pack until she responded to him. Though she knew that the minute she did that, and he responded and complied with the Wolfen Council’s orders. He was, she knew, going to take himself right back to the Hollowed Moon, where he would be wanting to meet with Belladonna and likely get that all–important introduction to his son and heir; that he’d been robbed of.
She sent an sss back to him to let him know that she’d received and read his report, would be holding a meeting with the Wolfen Council as to what they wanted to do, with their own investigation into Carina Lewis. He’d not put Carina Hartly in that report but Lewis. He had rescinded her status as the Luna she was willing to bet.
It took less than five minutes for him to respond with “I’ll wait as directed. Please don’t take too long in your deliberations. I have pressing family needs that must be attended to by myself, in order to sort out
this mess.”
She leaned back in her chair and nodded. Yes, he likely did have. She was curious as to whether he’d rejected Carina or not? He’d not stated that in the report, though even she knew an Alpha Order was easier to do on a pack member than a rogue, but also one wouldn’t want to do that to their own Mate.
After only a moment’s thought, she figured he’d rejected Carina but not turned her rogue. She was still going to be a pack member, but not his mate or the pack, Luna.

Alphas would do. I think he will try to re–establish a bond, create a proper relationship with her.” Gretta nodded, “Though that in itself is likely to be difficult.” She mused and then shook her head. “I foresee only
