Chosen just to be Rejected (by Jennifer Francis) novel Chapter 84

Part 7 : Back to Lustrous Moon Parker It was a long drive back to his pack and he was a little more than shocked that Belladonna was still driving the car that hed bought her .

It still looked to be in good condition as well .

It was well maintained , he supposed and washed on a regular basis .

Theyd stopped overnight in a nice hotel that hed pre booked , once knowing they were going to be travelling with him instead of making the trip in one long drive , he wouldnt be taxing her like that .

He and his unit switched drivers every couple of hours and that was how they did the trips in one day .

But Belladonna was driving that car alone .

Hed offered to have one of the boys or himself share the driving with her , but shed just shaken her head and stated , No , thanks Im good .

And hed let it go .

He had asked her about the car when seeing it outside the front of the orphanage , the morning they were due to leave .

It had been in the garage and unseen to him on all his trips to the Hollowed Moon .

She still just ran everywhere from what hed seen , she was fast on two feet , being an Alpha Wolf herself .

Likely could get to the pack hospital quicker than waiting on the roller door to lift and back the car out of the driveway and navigate the streets .

On foot one could hop fences and cut out half the travel time .

Hed asked her about still having the same car , and shed looked at it and shrugged , stated Why replace something that still works ? It might be eleven and a half years old , but I dont drive it like you would yours , here , there and everywhere .

Its only got 40 thousand miles on it .

Technically , it could still be considered under mileage warranty for a new car .

Hed thought about that , and she was right .

A new Mercedez Benz had a 60 thousand mile warranty on it .

Hed stared at her , as had his unit .

He travelled more than that , averaging 18 to 20 thousand miles in a calendar year with all his commuting between his main pack and the subsidiary packs , to and from his human world head office in Oklahoma City , and hour from the pack itself and the attending of Mating Balls .

He bought a new car every seven or eight years .

The car he was travelling in now was only four years old .

If shed been inside his pack hed have replaced her car when he did his .

Most cars only had a life expectancy of 200 thousand miles .

Though that was also based on the maintenance of the car and the brand you bought as well .

1/4 +8 Poin Part 7 : Back to Lustrous Moon Hed left it alone but would have his mechanic go over her car when they got to his pack , to make sure it was fine , though there was not a single issue with it on the trip .

But if she was going to be driving long distances , he wanted to make sure it was in good condition , so there would be no issues with it .

Kane pulled up out the front of the house in the pack which shed opted for herself and the children to stay in while there .

She didnt want to be in the packhouse , though she had told him it wasnt because of him .

She just preferred to live in a home .

That was how shed grown up , and then shed lived at the alpha college in a two bedroom cottage , and in the Hollowed Moon a house .

Shed only ever lived inside a packhouse when shed lived within the Lustrous Moon , never at any other time .

Hed just nodded , wasnt bothered by it , had prepped for that .

His gut feeling about her staying in Lustrous Moon had been a house out in the pack considering where she was living in the Hollowed Moon .

Parker got out of the car and waved his unit off to go and see their Mates and children.

It was only just after lunchtime , they could take the rest of the day off .

Though after seeing Belladonna and the children into the house , hed probably be in his office for the afternoon unless Belladonna or Whit wanted him for something .

She looked up at the house as she got out of her car and stretched herself out , before getting Milly out .

It was on a nice piece of land that had plenty of grass for the kids to play outside .

It was a split level home on a sloping block of land with a carport under the upper deck that came off the upstairs floor .

It was he thought a nice home , and was only a 15 minute walk to the packhouse , not too close but not too far away either .

Both Whitney and Milly had rooms on the upper floor and the Master bedroom was on the ground floor .

Hed tried to keep it similar to what they lived in , in an effort to help both Whitney and Milly feel comfortable .

He had it set up with the latest gaming technology in the rumpus room upstairs , and there were plenty of toys for Milly to play with as well .

Hed pretty much turned the upstairs into a kids zone and downstairs were the master bedroom , kitchen and living spaces were more adult .

He walked them up the stairs to the front door and into the foyer of the house .

It had a sitting area just past it and the stairs that led upstairs , and downstairs came off that .

He directed the children upstairs and Belladonna downstairs .
