Chosen Just To Be Rejected by Jennifer Francis novel Chapter 99

Belladonna

She couldn’t rouse Freya at all now. There was not even a flicker of movement, Bella was trying to wake her to get answers but got nothing at all. Freya had told her she would tell her about her mother when it was time, but now her wolf was slumbering in such a deep sleep that nothing, not even Bella yelling at her to wake up, made an ear twitch.

Parker she felt had maybe guessed correctly, because although Freya was slumbering there was a presence inside her mind, it was heavy to her, and angry at times. She’d never really felt angry before, just that one time inside Aston’s office, and it had shocked everyone, though that day also felt like it was Freya that was angry. She now wondered if it had been?

Bella had an overwhelming desire to go and find her children, to lay eyes upon them. She got up and left Parker’s office to do so. They weren’t all that hard to find. She could sense them and b–line them with her family bond. They were in the entertainment zone.

She watched both Whit and Milly play for a full minute and felt happiness roll out of that darkness inside her mind. It wasn’t just happiness, it was also love, and she realised at that very moment Parker was going to be right. There was another beast within her and right now that desire to see her children. It wasn’t exactly hers, but came from the darkness within her mind.

Freya had stated Whit was not hers and that was because she now realised, he wasn’t. He was Bella and her own beasts; a beast that Freya repressed and confined, had complete control over and though there was love coming from that darkness inside her mind. When Bella tried to reach for it and connect to it,

she couldn’t. She found Freya between her and the other living within her.

She’d never known the truth until right this very minute: Freya was not her wolf. When she thought about it, it was also likely that Freya may not have even been her mother’s wolf either. Not if Freya could just possess a wolfen folk at will.

There was going to be something about her own wolf, it’s type of wolf she now thought, that was going to see others want to use and likely abuse her. She bit her lip at that thought. What if Freya left and that all

came to pass now. What if she was seen and used and abused, turned into whatever her mother had

been?

Bella shuddered at the possibilities of what that meant and turned away from her children and went right

back to Parker’s office. She had a need to talk to him, he seemed to be able to understand or think things through about her. He’d also never once hurt her, and he was trying to figure it all out as well.

But Freya didn’t seem to have trusted him, like she had Aston. There was a difference between the two men, and she was even willing to bet what it was. Parker went out and took over other packs, started and engaged in wars. Which looked to Freya like he was power hungry.

Whereas Aston was laid back, and his pack grew by itself, without the need to try and grow it, the man had

never held inating balls to grow his pack, until the Wolfen Council had made him, and even then he’d fought against it. That she knew was going to be the difference between them.

Parker looked at her as she walked into his office and over to him. “Parker, can you tell me what you want for this pack?” she asked him plainly. “To grow and expand it? For it to just be happy and healthy… Do you desire to take over more packs in the future?”

He raised an eyebrow at her and then leaned back in his chair, “I want for my wolves to be safe, I don’t need nor desire to go in and take over other packs. Though it does look like I want that to others. My reputation leads other packs to believe that, and that is something I let them all think in order to keep my pack safe. Why?” he asked in return.

“War?” she asked.

“I don’t like it, I don’t want it, but it is unfortunately necessary to go to, in order to aid my allies. If I didn’t have to ever go to war again, that would be a true blessing,” he stated.

“That is the difference between you and Aston. I know you’d never hurt me, were always loyal, Parker, and so you’re the same as Aston in that regard. But you grew your pack through war, and my father he grew his pack through lies and deceit.

“Freya saw your war party when you took me from that pack. I think that is why you can’t see her. She

hates war, is of the opinion that no wolves should go to war. That they shouldn’t covet what is not theirs, and those that do aren’t trustworthy in her eyes.”

“Alright.” Parker nodded. “Though I didn’t do it for selfish means, I went in to aid others, was in fact requested by my allies to retrieve their stolen pack members from your father’s pack, and a few other

packs came to me to request aid to help rid them of terrible Alphas, to save their packs.”

Bella nodded “But Freya never saw that.” She mused, thinking it through “Was done before I came here… I think there is something you should know about me and… I think, my actual beast.”

“Alright, I’m listening.” Parker nodded.
