Chosen just to be Rejected (by Jennifer Francis) novel Chapter 51

51 Bella Shed reset four dislocations from that hardcore training with the Luna .

She understood why they did it , but didnt think it was at all necessary for anyone to learn to fight like that .

Then shed had two 14 year old boys , twin brothers , whod snuck out and onto the agility course unsupervised , on a dare from other kids , to run it without getting caught .

They had both gotten themselves injured due to trying to stop each other from beating themselves .

One was now in the pack hospital in traction , after breaking his left femur and fracturing his hip bone as well , and though there were surgical procedures to fix those things , if she performed them on the boy who had no wolf , when he got his wolf it was likely the wolf would be lame on his left back leg .

The best option for young wolfen children was traction to weight the bones and pull them gently back into their natural alignment .

So , there were no pins or rods holding them together , something that would get in the way of their first shift .

Something that was likely to cause more pain than was necessary .

Because a shift would rip the pins and rods from the human , and therefore , theyd be injured .

So , this boy , Hank , was now here in the hospital for a period of at least six weeks , possibly longer .

The other boy , Samson , could be released from the hospital .

Shed set his broken arm , and he was now sporting a cast to help it heal .

But he was sitting there with his twin keeping him company .

Mala had come in here and stared at those two boys , chastised them about being out there on that course , and alone , without any supervision , other than other children egging them on .

She was very disappointed in them .

Shed told them they were old enough to know better .

They were , in fact , the two oldest teens in the pack and were always cheeky ; brothers that liked to get into a bit of mischief , and theyd gotten more than they bargained for this time .

Mala had told them that Aston was aware of the situation , and he was going to come down here to have words with them himself .

The moment he was done attending to arriving packs .

Mala had looked at her and shaken her head as theyd walked away from the ward , and muttered They cant be punished , already injured , they are too rambunctious .

1/4 51 Bella had shrugged , though sometimes she saw Mala sigh heavily and not know what to do with unruly pups .

There were more of them coming into the pack now , with second chance mates as well as a few more orphans , and their ages now varied along with their temperaments and attitudes , which depended on how their former pack was run .

It could be quite frustrating for the long term pack members who prided themselves on acceptance , and no bullying or discrimination was a pack law .

But some came here and those things were already ingrained into them .

Shed seen Aston and Mala punish unruly wolves , cuff them with silver and children without wolves , teens , were made to stand around on the training ground all day long and do nothing .

Boredom got the better of them , and they promised not to do it again after being out there for 10 or 12 hours .

They were standard pack related things , where not everyone got along with everyone .

A few times , enemies of pack members requested sanctuary , and unknowingly , they had enemies within the pack , that had seen a fight or two break out .

It didnt go down so well with the Alpha and Luna .

But Ben , as their War General , dealt with those wolves .

Bella left the packs hospital with Franny after making sure Hank was settled in for the night .

His mother was there , and shed yelled at both her boys more than their own Luna had .

Bella had charted pain meds in case Hank needed any throughout the night and knocked off for the day .

I need a drink .

She muttered as she and Franny headed for the pack Creche .

I believe Holden has cocktails for the adults up there at his daughters birthday .

Shed chuckled softly as they went to pick up their kids, and theyd both laughed .

Franny was one of her regular social group , her new Anaesthetist .

Shed lost Reed to a Mate Bond two months back , and hed moved on to her pack .

They needed him there , and hed opted to go .

His job was in high demand .

Bella strolled into the packhouse with Milly on her hip , chatting to Franny who was carrying her daughter Harley .

Both Milly and Harley were the same age .

Franny also had a son a year younger than Whit .

Those two boys were out the back of the packhouse swimming at a pool party for one of their friends .

She knew Parker was here somewhere for the mating ball being held tomorrow night .

She had been informed by her Luna , but she wasnt concerned about it .

Hed not cared the last time he was here , so why would he this time ? 2/4 Belladonna ? she heard her name and just knew it was Parker .

No one ever called her that around here , in fact only he did , or those from her home pack .

Her eyes moved about the foyer , and she watched him stand up .

Yes , Alpha Parker .

She answered him it would be rude not to He walked over , followed by Shannon , his Gamma Bella .
