Chosen just to be Rejected (by Jennifer Francis) novel Chapter 127

127 Bella +1 Pant Bellas eyes moved to Parker when he reached out and tucked that loose strand of hair behind her ear .

His fingers trailed around the outside of her ear softly , and then his hand was just gone .

Hed smiled at her and returned his attention to his breakfast .

She didnt know if hed done it on purpose or just hadnt thought about it at all .

It could be either , she thought , one that would annoy her on purpose , or it could have been done absent mindedly , because he knew what she was going to be to him ; a simple Mate thing .

Something shed seen herself a million times over the years ; with mated pairs .

They touched each other absently at times and it kind of went unnoticed by the one doing it .

Bella , however, didnt know which it was , and he was confusing her .

She knew that he was playing at not knowing about their Mate Bond , when in fact he did know .

Or at least she believed that he knew about it .

Shed not actually slept well at all last night , like shed told him she had .

Shed lain there in her bed and tried to think about things .

Really trying to figure out if he did actually feel their Mate Bond , like she did .

Or if he just knew that she felt it , something hed picked up on , by her sudden change in reaction to him touching her .

Shed felt like a half excited , half terrified school girl when hed touched her , or not touched her ; to be more specific .

Never before having to concern herself , or think about things like that , with feelings attached to s * x or things related to it .

She was trying to shake it off but somehow couldnt .

Her heart had raced at the thought of his touch , or his kiss last night in that bed .

She actually could recall what it was like to be naked in a bed with him , how enjoyable it had been , but shed never felt these weird and uncomfortable feelings about it , about him until now , it was unknown territory for her emotionally .

Hed also seemed to enjoy tormenting her yesterday as well .

Now this here in the dining hall , the breakfast they were having , shed never seen Parker hold full formalities at the Alphas table .

The seating she saw told her that was what this was , and the way those at this table had waited until he and she were seated before eating as well ; it was weird .

I thought Belladonna , we could sit and talk about your extended stay here inside the pack ! Parker commented as he sipped his coffee I do believe you told me last week , youd be 144 127 staying until after Bridgit gives birth ? Her eyes moved down the table and right to Bridgit , who was sitting next to Axel , and she nodded .

I did , and Id actually like to be in the delivery room , if , of course , Bridgit would allow that , she stated , but also phrased it as a question at the same time as she looked to Bridgit ΠΟΥ .

Id like that .

Bridgit smiled at her .

Then if youd come down to the hospital with myself later on , for a consult with both Annette .

and I , Ill sort out a time when shes free .

We can start planning ahead .

Id also like your permission , Bridgit , to look over your medical files , as well .

Bella asked her now .

It was good to hear she had no objection to it .

Im okay with that .

Bridgit nodded .

Belladonna .

Parker drew her attention back to him .

Id like permission to enroll Whitney in the packs school here .

We should also take Milly down to look at the crèche if youre going to be working at the pack hospital … Which it sounds to me like youre planning on doing , are you ? He asked her directly .

Mm , Annette and I have discussed some things .

She nodded because she already knew its where shed spend most of her time after this full moon , especially with Parkers new rule for pregnant she wolves in all parts of his conglomerate coming here to give birth .

And they would be ? Parker asked her now as he leaned back into his to look at her , thought he was also smiling .

Ive not heard anything from Annette about this at all ..

A little odd , considering Im the Alpha .

He commented .

Bella frowned now , as she realised it was a bit odd that Annette hadnt brought it to Parkers attention , considering Annette had told her shed call on her , put her on retainer so to speak .

Perhaps , Annette was just busy , and forget to let you know what she was doing is all .

she murmured .

Mm , that could be it , Parker nodded .

Or perhaps Annette just talked to you as she once always did , as the Luna to this pack , sat and discussed medical things with you , because your were the one to go to on that , not me .

It was always how things went when you were my Mate .

Bella nodded , I guess that could explain it .

I did tell her I was going to be staying for a few months , and to make use of my skills as a doctor while I was here .
