Chosen just to be Rejected (by Jennifer Francis) novel Chapter 56

56 Bella Aston looked at her and shrugged , then connected a mind link to her , Mala and Simon Like I said Bella , Im actually curious .

He stated down it something feels off to me .

Even Im getting the feeling he doesnt know , Mala commented , and his annoyance and anger appeared real over this and your reaction to him , that being ; your uncaring attitude about it , is notching that up in him even .

It does kind of feel like he was in the dark , and had no knowledge of his child .

Aston murmured This is why I allowed the meeting to go ahead .

Simon and I both picked that up last night .

He is confused , I think , about you and him having a child .

Its a full curiosity .

Aston stated .

Id like to see where he goes with this .

Bell ? Hes got to be playing dumb or … maybe one too many hits to the head and got some memory loss .

Bella stated .

She heard Mala snort full amused at her words , she also knew that Parker and his unit knew they were holding a private conversation between the four of them .

She was released from it and looked at him , he didnt look too happy about being excluded from it , actually look annoyed on the verge of being in a temper , she thought .

I still dont see an issue .

She told him .

She saw more annoyance but then watched him rein it in and take a breath , count to ten she thought , before he spoke , That child is my heir , Belladonna .

You know yourself I wanted that with you .

For us to have a child together .

Mm , I did .

She agreed , and he had , though that last email hed denied that , made it out as though shed read that into their relationship , but it had also been one of the last things hed said to her prior to him leaving and meeting Carina .

Now she wondered if hed written that in there just to try and appease his Goddess Gifted who was pregnant , to keep her happy and put less stress on her , or have her direct anger at him .

She wouldnt argue about it .

He is my heir now , and my son is happy and well adjusted , likes living here .

she told him honestly and Whit was happy , loved living with all those other kids .

We had a detailed mating alliance , with a pups clause in it , Parker stated flatly .

She acknowledged and sipped her coffee once more , I didnt breach it .

she stated 1/4 56 and nearly laughed at his more than annoyed expression , yes play that card itll get your nowhere she thought to herself amusingly , not only had she checked it , so had the Wolfen Council .

Though her amusement wasnt just at him , Freya was sitting up inside of her mind , chortling , also amused by this turn of events I think youre right , one too many hits to that head of his , hes forgotten the agreement .

Her wolf stated .

I signed all the exit clauses , Kane knows this , nothing was missed , Parker .

She reminded him , he would have had to lay eyes on it , even though hed left his Beta to attend that .

You took my heir , Belladonna .

He grated out .

No , I raised my heir , you have no claim on him .

She repeated herself .

Because I didnt bloody know about him .

He snarled right at her , all angry now .

Bella stared right at him , that was not the response she was expecting to come from him at all .

She frowned at him for a long time .

Watch your temper , Parker .

Mala stated flatly .

Our mating alliance stated all heirs were to stay with me .

he bit out , trying to rein in his temper .

Bella nodded because in part he was right , those words were in it .

You might want to go home and read the fine print on that clause she smiled at him .

Because I believe it reads that all pups born inside of the mate bond , were to be relinquished to you … she paused for a moment to let him think about it , let them all think about that .

My child , however , was born ou tside of the mate bond , therefore , is mine and not yours .

If you wish to play that card , youll not win , I assure you .

She told him .

What ? he was frowning , and she could see him really thinking about it .

She watched him turn and actually look at his Beta .
