Chosen just to be Rejected (by Jennifer Francis) novel Chapter 49

Part 4 ; Annoyance & Amusement Parker He was sitting in the foyer of the Hollowed Moon staring out the window , he and his wolves had arrived an hour ago , and he was tempted to stroll down to the pack hospital , to find Belladonna , to talk to her .

Wanted to talk to her about her life and what was going on in it .

He was more than curious about her and the life she had lived .

When he saw a whole bunch of children go running passed the front of the packhouse , all laughing , carrying presents .

Off to a birthday party , he thought absently to himself as a smile touched his face .

Everyone here always seemed happy .

Though his smile , after only a moment faulted , as his wolf , Vex , shot up inside his mind and the word ours was snarled out of his beast , completely out of the blue .

He felt Kanes hand land on him , his Beta had felt the sudden change in his Alpha Wolf .

Parker was up a second later and headed outside , his entire unit trailing him , but he lost sight of the children as he moved through the foyer to the front of the packhouse and his eyes only found them once again , when outside those children were still racing away along the packhouse .

Vex was certain one of them was his pup , he could feel there was a kin bond being snapped into place .

Parker held himself to the spot , it wasnt possible , those children all looked to be under 12.

Vex had to be wrong , and in a group like that , he couldnt tell which child it was , hadnt actually been face to face with them .

Just seen them all running by , though the window had looked at many of their happy smiling faces , likely so had Vex , and hed seen something Parker had not .

He had no idea if it was a boy or a girl , didnt even know if he truly believed what was happening right this minute , it couldnt be .

Surely his beast had to be wrong .

He turned and walked back inside as those children disappeared around the corner of the building .

He needed to think about it .

Had they been wrong ? Not wrong .

We have a pup .

Vex snarled at him .

How ? Parker asked his beast .

Theyd had two mates in the past 17 years , with no break between them .

He was faithful to both of them , there was only a few hours break between Belladonna and Carina , and hed not slept with anyone at all in that time it would cause Carina pain .

It was confusing to him .

What is it , Parker ? Kane asked him .

1/4 3 Points Part 4 ; Annoyance & Amusement Our suite , now .

He stated flatly and stalked off .

He could feel annoyance rolling off his beast .

Vex , wanted Parker to go out there and track that kin bond , to find out who their pup was .

But Parker knew that he couldnt just go all Alpha on this pack , it was nearly a thousand strong , a full warrior pack .

Hed likely lose his head and so would his unit .

Going out there and trying to claim a child he knew nothing about , not even who the mother was , would be seen as an aggressive act that could well start a war .

Though his brain was now ticking like crazy on who the possibility of that childs mother was .

It couldnt be though , she would have told him , she wasnt heartless and cruel .

Also knew he would have been happy about it .

Parker banged into his suite on the first floor and stopped in the middle of the room .

His unit were all just standing staring at him , waiting for an explanation to come from him about his sudden change of mood .

Vex has sensed a kin bond with one of those children that just ran by the packhouse .

He stated flatly .

His unit were really staring at him now , with very wide eyes , and he knew why they couldnt fathom it either .

He scrubbed a hand over his face as he heard Kane state An heir to your pack , here inside the Hollowed Moon ? Apparently so , he nodded .

You didnt sense that the last time you were here , Parker .

Shannon murmured , sounding thoughtful .

I did not .

Parker agreed with his Gamma , Though I dont really recall coming across any children when last here .

He stated thoughtfully to himself , and if he didnt know about the child , that meant that he and Vex would have to lay eyes on it to feel that kin bond snap into place , or gotten close enough to smell the childs bloodline .

Hed also not been looking for that .
