17 Belladonna She was settled inside her hotel room in Oklahoma City . She had found one with a 24hour check in , thankfully . She was too tired to go driving around for too long , though her car was very nice to drive , almost too comfortable for her tired body . Two hours of sleep , in 38 hours she was really pushing it . Shed showered in the pack hospital due to Becky having haemorrhaged right after her daughter was born , though both she and Annette had both been there and prepared for it , nothing ever seemed to go right for Becky . Theyd delivered that baby in the surgical bay just in case , and had extra staff at the ready . Annette managed to stop the bleeding through a surgical procedure where Becky had been transfused two pints of blood and stabilised ; Bella had taken care of the pup while that was going on , it had not been breathing when born , and shed re sussed the tiny little thing . She had taken the time to fil out that pups birth records , while Becky was still undergoing surgery . Though it had been hard to watch her mate prowl around anxiously during that surgery , theyd picked a name for their little girl , Peace . Hoping their daughter would come into the world peacefully without any complications at all . Not so lucky on that front . Shed pulled on clean scrubs at the hospital and left in them , but not until she knew Becky was okay . She had arrived here at her hotel and was now just flopped down face first on the hotel bed with her eyes closed , new she was going to fall asleep in short order . Freya was already curled up and asleep inside her mind . She muttered into the pillow her face was buried in , she still had one more rejection to attend to . She might as well do it now , she hoped he wasnt asleep , or having s * x , he would feel it , he felt every pack member sever from him as she had once done when shed been his Luna . She wouldnt feel it anymore , it wasnt a nice feeling . She rolled over on to her back and stared up at the darkened ceiling and issued her rejection of the Lustrous Moon Pack and Alpha Parker Hartly as her Alpha . She hissed in pain and Freya lifted her head and snarled at her . For the pain it caused both of them , and there was that weird echo that sometimes happened inside her mind when her wolf felt pain , when her wolf hurt it was almost as if she heard two wolves in pain . It was weird , but shed gotten used to it , had thought amusingly one day that maybe her head was just completely empty and that was why there was an echo; she was a female rogue now . |||||| 17 Sleep finally claimed her , and she slept like the dead , all night long and half the next day , woke up just after lunchtime and 12 hours of sleep ; shed needed it . She woke up well rested , and stretched out in her big bed , smiled to herself . No more would her sleep be interrupted by Parker , when he was in the mood to have s * x , and crawled into her bed late at night . That was a nice feeling . No more would she go into heat again , or have to suffer the pain of it if he wasnt in the pack . It was just her and Freya now , until they found their own Goddess Gifted Mate . No longer were they owned by anybody , nor did they have a father or an Alpha that could just hand them over to another . She had no one to be responsible for , except for herself , no one to rely on her to get things done and no one to tell her what to do . Bella changed and ordered room service , then just spent the rest of the day lazing on the couch in that hotel room staring at the TV , doing absolutely nothing for the first time since shed been taken to the Lustrous Moon . Shed not been outside the pack in eight years , and she wondered what the world was like , what she should expect from it . Though she wasnt going to be staying here in Oklahoma , no , she was only an hour from the pack up on Carl Blackwell Lake , it was too close for her . She was going to move away , and she wasnt going to go anywhere near her home pack either , nope move away in the other direction altogether , to start a new life for herself . She would find someplace where nobody knew who she was , and she didnt have to concern herself with her past . Though she was probably going to be required to state who her previous Mate was , to the new Alpha , explain why she was a rogue even . She didnt exactly know . Parker had dealt with all those things , shed never been in his office for him to initiate new wolves , be they rogues or newly mated into the pack . That was his job and not part of hers . By 6pm it was kind of weird to not be needed by anyone , have no one connect a mind link to her and ask her questions , or call her to the packs hospital . It was very quiet inside of her mind . Though at times she just lay there and smiled to herself , knowing that she nor her wolf had any cares in the world right now , that they could just do absolutely nothing at all . Though she was not at all used to having nothing to do all day long , she realised . Shed worked every single day inside that pack after being Mated to Parker . She shook it off and had to stop thinking about him and his pack . They did not concern her anymore , she reminded herself , and showered and lay in her bed once more . It was weird , she realised , after an hour of just laying there , she was actually accustomed to +10 Point 17 Parker strolling into her suite every other day to crawl into her bed and have his way with her . It had been many days now since shed had s * x , and she knew a part of her was awake because she was half expecting him to step into this room , and shed watch him strip off naked and crawl into her bed , claim her mouth among other things . She had an itch herself , she realized , and was thinking about s * x because she wanted to have it , and now couldnt , because she didnt have a mate to come in here , and give her all that tingly mate bond goodness and pleasure , for hours on end . She had to push that thought aside , roll over and stared out the window into the night until she fell asleep . Got up in the morning and needed something to do , and she knew it . So , she headed out of the hotel and did some shopping . She needed a laptop to be able to continue her studies and log professional development points to maintain her doctors degree . She also needed that for finding a job . She could do that on her phone , she supposed , but if she was going to be tying up letters she needed a laptop . Then , once back in the hotel , she sat down and logged into the intranet , realising she had to use the Lustrous Moon Pack and Parkers name , to do that , seems she just couldnt bloody escape him , even though she was no longer attached to the man . She checked the wolfen listings for pack doctors . Four of them were still there , two were for surgeons ; not what she was . Hadnt completed her residency for that yet , it was now on hold until she could find another pack to affiliate with and have their pack doctor take her on and teach her . One of those were from that list Kane had left her to tell her who their enemy packs were , so that was out . And the last one was for a doctor to help treat the wounded in the army barracks of the Wolfen Kingdom . A place she was not going to go , a place her grandmother had told her never to go . She didnt think her grandmother would have led her astray , so she opted out of that . Now she was just sitting perusing other options on that listing . She wasnt a psychiatrist or haematologist , and couldnt apply for an anaesthesiologist , though that in the Wolfen world was worth its weight in gold . Sedating a wolf and keeping them sedated was a skill . Sedating one and keeping them alive during surgery was also hard . One had to make sure the levels were right . So , the wolf wouldnt wake up and start to heal its human mid surgery . Not always easy . Sometimes you didnt know they were awake inside their human counterpart until you saw active knitting of wounds mid surgery . She was an Obstetrician / Gynaecologist and a Paediatrician . That was her area of specialty , but she could also set broken bones and was still finishing out her residency on that one too . Still had two years to go and just needed a pack that would allow her to finish that .
