Chosen just to be Rejected (by Jennifer Francis) novel Chapter 111

Bella She watched as Parker sent Whit off with Milly about half an hour after theyd arrived to get themselves something to drink and a snack if they liked , and hed actually walked them out of the room and pointed them in the direction to go .

Before stepping back into the room and closing the door , which had been open all morning .

He looked right at her and sighed , before walking across the room to stand next to her bed .

Weve not had a moment alone since you woke up .

he stated as he looked down at her .

Annette had helped her to sit up , propped some pillows behind her and used the bed mechanics to help her sit as comfortably as possible .

She knew that was true , but wasnt expecting his hand to touch her face as he sat on the edge .

of the bed .

You scared the hell out of me .

he murmured softly .

Dont ever do that again .

Bella frowned at him .

I didnt do it .

I had no control over what happened , Parker .

Π I know that , I was just … he sighed heavily and then just leaned forward and hugged her .

He murmured softly , his hand up in her hair and the other curled around her back .

Ive wanted to do this since the moment you opened your eyes .

He half whispered .

She didnt stop him from hugging her , sighed softly herself and hugged him back .

She knew the man wanted to start a new relationship with her .

Hed made himself plainly clear and told her he loved her even , and if he did actually love her , seeing her like that would have scared him , hurt him in all likelihood .

She could give him a little comfort back .

I heard you donated blood , a lot of it , she stated , and pulled back from him to look at him .

Mm , he nodded .

Id have given you everything just to see you survive .

His hand brushed through her hair as he looked at her.

Parker ! she frowned .

You cant do things like that , what would become of your pack if you died ? You would have gotten it .

Then Whit , when he had completed Alpha College .

He told he simply as though hed not only thought about it , but put it in place even .

His eyes met hers as she stared at him more than shocked .

Im going to kiss you , Belladonna .

He told her softly as his eyes moved from hers to her mouth .

she put a hand up to stop him , understood his desire to kiss her , it was very much a Mate thing after a stressful event and her dying was stressful for him , she could imagine , 1/4 seeing as that was what he wanted for them once more .

We need to talk .

His eyes moved back to hers , and she could see he wasnt happy about her delaying what he likely needed , but she was just confused about .

But he stayed put .

What you did was more than silly .

What if we both died , and your efforts to give me all your blood didnt work ? What would happen then , to Whit and Milly , if neither of us survived ? she asked .

She didnt want him to be one of those Mates that would drain themselves dry .

You would have survived , it as up to me to save you .

That is what Selena told me .

I just figured it could mean I had to die for you to live … So , I was willing to Belladonna , I love you and I would sacrifice myself to save you .

But I would never ask you to do something like that .

She muttered , and she wouldnt .

If fate meant she was to die , then that was it .

No one was to take her place and she wouldnt want anyone to die for her either .

I know that , he nodded .

Youre selfless , and youd make for a good Alpha to any pack , so leaving it in your hands , I knew that would be fine .

Parker … she sighed only to find his hand on her chin tilting it up .

This pack , is yours if something happens to me , goes to Whit when hes old enough .

Ive already put it on paper, Milly is allowed to take over and run one of the subsidiary packs .

My unit are aware of all of this , as are my elders that run the subsidiary packs .

So theres no arguing with me on this .

I did it months ago , he told her .

Bella was staring right at him now , kind of speechless , hearing those words come from him .

I really want to kiss you Belladonna , he murmured .

Every fiber in my being is screaming at me to kiss you .

I nearly lost you … and I just .

She smiled at him a little , she could hear it in his voice , his need , and shed never seen or heard him like this before with her .
