Chosen just to be Rejected (by Jennifer Francis) novel Chapter 52

52 Parker Belladonna stood right in front of him , and yet did not say anything to him about his and her child ; that shed had to him , he wanted to grate out at her , why she was denying him his right to that child .

She had to know he would want to know , regardless of how she had been raised ; that he would not allow that to happen to his own child .

But she had a small daughter , sitting right on her hip , and she was cute as a button , with her curly ginger hair and big brown eyes .

She must take after her father in every way .

She didnt look anything like Belladonna , not even the same skin tone .

This little girl had very fair skin .

Though he could tell she was Belladonnas daughter , they smelled the same ; had a family scent about her , smelled of Alpha blood , just like her mother did .

So , he kept himself in check , didnt want to frighten the little one .

His eyes moved to Belladonnas neck , there was no filigree there , but it was clear to him , shed taken up a lover .

Otherwise , how did she get her daughter ? He heard Shannon ask some questions , actively mentioned the word daughter and son , and Parker understood his Gamma was trying to make her think about her other child , in order for him to pick up on something , about the child shed had with him , seeing as he was right in front of her .

She never mentioned the other child , just walked off with her friend and Shannon shook his head at Parker , mind linked to him I got nothing .

If she is the mother of your unknown pup , it does not concern her at all ; that youre here inside the pack .

Maybe its not her .

It cant be anyone else ; I was faithful .

He muttered right back as he watched her walk away There was no concern at all ? that I would be angry about an unknown pup out here without me knowing ? No fear Ill stake my claim and take the child from her ? No , I got nothing other than annoyance at you walking up to her … Parker frowned at his Gamma now , and Shannon went on She doesnt understand you , why you do that ! Doesnt I think , or maybe not see a reason for you to do that , where shes concerned .

That Shannon is very odd , in itself .

It is though , … she never really understood you when she was mated to you either .

I kind of always felt she wondered why you did the things you did .

They continued to sit , and after hed had dinner with Alpha Aston and his Luna Mala , the other 1/4 8 Point 8 Points 52 Alphas and their units , where they all just chatted about nonesental pack related things .

He took himself outside to sit on the grassed area and ponder more about the reaction hed gotten , hed not brought anything up with Aston or his Luna .

He actually couldnt until he laid eyes on the child and confirmed it was his and Belladonnas .

He did have a beer in his hand as he sat there , kind of needed it , because he didnt know what to do right that very minute .

A part of him knew he couldnt do anything at all without confronting Belladonna about that child , but what if he got it wrong? Though how could he be wrong at the same time ? He was confused now , because of her reaction or lack thereof to him .

Kane had texted Mina to come and see them , and she had , but then had just stared at him when hed asked quietly , but point blankly about Belladonnas other child .

If it was a boy or a girl , shed just stood there and raised an eyebrow at him , then shrugged it off .

Im not of your pack anymore , Alpha Parker , so Im not required to answer any of these questions .

Or at liberty to discuss other pack members of the Hollowed Moons private business .

There are rules to follow here .

He knew that she was right , but come on , she had been part of his pack her entire life , until she came here a few months ago .

Didnt that count for anything at all ? Just tell me how old the child is then ? hed asked .

Mina had frowned at him and shaken her head , Youre not her Mate anymore , Alpha Parker , you gave her up for … the one you have now .

she rolled her eyes , it was an insult to his Mate and Luna , but he didnt get angry about it , no longer cared about defending Carina from insults , Bell and her life no longer concern you , you do understand that right ? she asked and then just turned and walked away .

No rights anymore .

Shed hollered over her shoulder .

Kane had sighed himself as hed watched his sister walk off , She pledged loyalty to Aston and Mala , takes that seriously Parker … Ill go and talk to her brother to sister , but I wouldnt get your hopes up .

She is Beta ranked , and will only do as her Actual Alpha tells her too .

I cant pull rank on her anymore .

Parker nodded , it was what he would expect himself from those that would pledge loyalty to him .
