Chosen just to be Rejected (by Jennifer Francis) novel Chapter 81

81 Belladonna For the past six months , shed not interfered in the growing bond between Whit and Parker , and she saw that Whit was now much more curious about the man and his pack .

Hed seen Vex on the surface , had met him officially now , and Parker had gotten permission from Aston to shift so that Whit could see his beast .

Vex was a large black wolf with a white halo band around his chest and over his shoulders and a white muzzle , and had a smattering of white fur along his cheeks .

He also didnt have the usual brilliant light green eyes of a wolf but were grey in colour .

Whit had stared at his fathers wolf , who was taller than he was standing up , had really looked at him and when Parker had shifted back hed asked him about his wolfs eyes .

Hmm , I dont know , they were green when I was 14 and got my wolf .

Turned grey when I was 15.

No one knows why .

Shed not even known he was an early shifter or that Vex had once had green eyes .

Freya had looked at him that day from behind Bellas eyes and seemed curious herself , though she kept her thoughts to herself on the matter .

Something had intrigued her wolf about his that day , but shed not done anything about it .

Bella was just sitting back waiting for the day that Whitney would ask to go and see his fathers pack .

She wasnt going to deny him that .

It was his birth right .

Today it seemed was that day .

Shed woken up to find Whit prowling around outside of her bedroom .

The sun was barely up , and shed woken because she could hear him pacing about .

Bella smiled at him and asked him what was wrong .

Hed looked at her and , for the first time ever , had looked to be uncertain about asking her something .

Shed hugged him as shed walked to the kitchen .

Whatever it is , Whit , Im not likely to say no if its a reasonable request .

Shed told him .

Um … Well … Parker is leaving tomorrow to go back to Lustrous Moon .

Im aware .

She nodded .

Though she wasnt going to say it for him .

This needed to come from him , to be his decision with no one elses help .

Shed expected it two months ago when hed started to ask her questions about Lustrous Moons Alpha Unit , and if they had children , something she couldnt really answer .

She didnt know the information .

1/4 81 +9 Point She had limited her information so that Whit would have to ask Parker or his unit about certain things .

Shed told Parker not to tell her either , so that Whit would have to ask him and help their bond form .

Hed seemed a bit shocked by that , but then had nodded and so when he asked her things , she could direct him to Parker .

Which she did .

Well … he hesitated once more , and she smiled as she made herself a cup of coffee and then leaned on the kitchen bench to watch him .

It was only early and the other children here were still sleeping .

He was up because he was anxious to ask her his question .

Youre not my son .

She teased him a little .

He would just say what he wants .

Mum … he practically whined at her , also not something he would do normally and she chuckled softly .

Whit , whatever it is , just ask .

Whats the worst that could happen ? she asked him .

You could say , no .

he murmured .

She prompted him once more .

He was looking at her , and she could still see he was nervous and anxious about asking her this very question .

But she patiently waited for him to speak .

I was , … Well , can I , um , can we … go and look at dads pack ? he finally rushed out those last words .

She stood staring at him for a long quiet moment and not because it was a no , but because that was the first time hed called Parker , dad .

Hed felt their kin bond for the past six months , but had stubbornly refused to call him anything but Parker , and hed always corrected Parker when hed used the word son .

Made Parker call him Whitney , not even Whit like everyone else around here did .

She was torturing him right this minute , and she knew it , not on purpose , but out of shock of hearing that one word .

Though as she watched his hands start to wring in front of him , she nodded and sipped her coffee .

Yes , if you like , she finally answered him Now was that so hard to ask me ? she smiled at him .
