Chosen just to be Rejected (by Jennifer Francis) novel Chapter 45

45 Bella She found herself a month later in the Alphas office , staring at an angry looking Whitney , who was glaring at another boy across the room , standing with his father .

Whit it had been reported to her by Mala , had punched that boy over there .

He was older than Whit , and it was reported that the boy had bullied one of his sisters ; about being an orphan .

Not something that had ever happened here inside the pack before .

She looked at the boy , Ace , knew he had come here with his father , when hed mated into the pack , to one of their own she wolves .

He was new here himself , had only been here since just after the last full moon .

Had returned to his pack to collect his son and come here to live .

They came for a rough and tumble pack , and hed , from what she understood , wanted a better life for himself and his boy .

The father was a mechanic named Winslow ; he was looking at her now , he looked more than annoyed about the injury to his son .

She raised an eyebrow at him .

Not really had the pleasure of meeting him officially , but knew of him because hed had to go home and collect his family to move here .

That news always got around the pack quickly was thought to be a good thing .

She watched him smell her and registered she was alpha blooded herself .

Blinked a little in shock , likely thought Whit was one of the orphans as well , was only now realising he was not , and she was his actual mother .

Her eyes moved back to her son .

Whit ? she questioned him .

Whit pointed to that boy , who was 12 shoved Alexi , and she fell down , then he called her a wimpy cry baby .

She could hear the anger in his words still .

Calm yourself , she told him .

Youre pure blooded and are stronger than others .

She reminded him .

Please , calm down .

Her eyes , however , moved to the other boy now .

He had a busted lip and a solid looking bruise to the corner of his mouth , he didnt look too badly injured , but violence wasnt something she approved of .

Whit had also always been calm and collected , just like she was .

Wheres Alexi ? she asked , seeing that she wasnt in the room and had not been taken to her in the hospital for medical treatment .

Still in school , she is alright , physically .

Aston told her .

Winslow ? she questioned the boys father .

Did he apologise ? 1/4 +8 Points 45 Not yet .

Winslow answered her Where we came from , Orphans .

he sighed Dont get treated so nicely .

Its actually why I moved us here , instead of asking Gail to come to our pack .

So that Ace here , can learn to be better towards others around him .

He is still adjusting to the way of life here .

Her eyes moved to the boy ; he looked just as mad as Whit did .

Whit , please apologize .

Why ? he shot right back He started it , picked on a girl even .

I understand that .

Aston will sort that out .

Please apologise for punching Ace .

She watched as his jaw set and shivered a little as she saw Parkers temper right there in her own son .

She might be the one raising Whit , but he still had Parkers bloodline , and she could see it in the way his jaw was ticking .

She also knew that Whit wasnt going to apologise , he didnt think hed done anything wrong .

Had defended his orphan sister .

Whit also knew he was not only Alpha blooded but pure Alpha blooded , and technically the top of the food chain , so didnt feel as though he had to in all likelihood .

She sighed and hunkered down to look right at him .

Alphas have to apologise too , know when to say they are sorry , when they themselves have crossed the line .

Violence is not the answer , Whitney , you know this .

She admonished him gently but firmly .

Whitney , thats a girls name .

Came a snort of laughter from Ace .

Bella snapped her hands on to her own boy , to stop him from racing over there and punching that boy again .

She had seen a flash of real anger in his eyes at those words .

Enough Ace .

She heard Winslow state in an angry tone Youre out of line .

Aston sighed himself and stood up .

I think both boys need a lesson here .

Whit , you will work in the packs kitchen , breakfast shift .

5am to 10am .

He told him Violence is not the answer .

She watched Aston turn and look at Ace .
