Chosen just to be Rejected (by Jennifer Francis) novel Chapter 74

74 Belladonna She was once again called to the packhouse by Aston and Mala , though this time she knew what it was for .

Alpha Gretta was here to collect Gregory Lewis , and shed also been informed that Alpha Parker was with her .

Not travelling in the same car , but had arrived at the same time ; likely travelling together .

She was standing outside the front of the packhouse , as were Aston , Mala and the Alpha unit , and over there to her left off in the distance was Gregory Lewis hanging from the packs shaming tree .

They didnt have posts here like other packs , no , just three silver chains that dangled from a tree branch .

His feet were barely on the ground and his arms were stretched up above him .

He just hung there to be shamed .

It was rare that it was in use and had been put in place by both Mala and Aston the year their daughter was born .

Something to do with Astons former and Goddess Gifted mate whod rejected him but couldnt leave him alone , who had been the first person to hang from it , after killing his chosen mate , and then trying to kill Mala as well .

Mala had hung her from that very tree for the pack to shame her over the death of the former Luna .

Now that was where others were hung .

Everyone in this pack had been informed of why he was out there , including Whitney .

Hed been told by Mala and Aston themselves before the pack had been informed , Whit had stood staring at that man over there .

Shed told him the truth of all that had gone on .

Shed given him that email from Alpha Gretta to read , so he could see it for himself , written out formally , the facts of the deception around why Parker had supposedly relinquished his parental rights .

How his own fathers Goddess Gifted had lied and deceived everyone where he was concerned .

After hed read it , Aston had informed him that Gregory Lewis was a new pack member within the pack , and Whit had frowned instantly .

Mala had told him shed gone and collected that man herself that he was hanging from the shaming tree .

Awaiting the Councils pick up , that it would likely take a couple of days , but he would be punished by Gretta and the Council for his part in the deception .

Shed actually seen Whit stop and look at that man hanging from the packs shaming tree and thought hed been going to go over there and yell at him or maybe hit him .

Some inside this back had gone and done that .

Mina , Kanes sister , and a Beta blooded wolf had beaten him , 1/1 15 Points 74 called him despicable and grated out he didnt deserve to be Beta blooded .

Was a stain to the rank , and she hoped the Wolfen Council not only stripped him of his rank but demoted him to the lowest of low .

Shed stayed out of it all , she didnt really get angry about things , though shed felt annoyance roll off of Freya as theyd looked at that wolf , and it kind of felt like shed wanted to have a piece of him , herself .

Shed not done so though , because she wouldnt allow herself to be seen , even for the punishing of another wolf .

Whit had not gone near him , just been angry , shed thought , but had turned and walked away himself .

Gretta arrived , and two warriors got out of the car she was travelling in .

She actually knew both of them from her time working on council grounds .

After greeting Aston and Mala , they both stated their names and then smiled at her .

She smiled back at them .

Alpha Parker and Kane had gotten out of his car , just him and his Beta , not his entire unit .

No Gamma she noted here to try and sway her into anything at all .

That was nice to know .

He greeted Aston and Mala , then looked right at her and smiled .

Its good to see you again , Belladonna .

Alpha Parker .

She greeted him .

Please , there is no need for formalities between us , Parker is just fine , Belladonna .

As you used to call me , he told her .

She just nodded , and he was directed to look at the shaming tree .

Alpha Parker , is that Gregory Lewis , your former Lunas father ? Alpha Gretta asked him .

Parker nodded .

That would be Carina Lewis father .

Do you want to go over and lash him ? Alpha Gretta asked casually .

Before hes taken to the Wolfen Council for punishment .
