19 Belladonna She clicked the button as she sat to read the message , and she was more than surprised by it . It was from an Alpha Gretta of a Wolfen College out in New Mexico , and she was requesting a meet and greet for an interview . Stated there at Alpha College , dislocations and broken bones happened all the time , and that if she was interested , she could take up a two year residency and finish off that orthopaedic residency she was in the middle of within the college itself . To call her back , to discuss it , and then her in office hours were listed . Bella checked the time and the location of that Alpha College , it was two states away , and Alpha Gretta should still be in her office so she put that call in right away . Happy to be able to find work and in an Alpha College , shed never been to one of those before , so that would be interesting to see . She was too old to attend it now , but it would be nice to know what life there was like , see if shed missed out on anything important . She might even be allowed to peruse the library and maybe pick up on some education , of the things she should have been sent off to learn but hadnt been , due to being a bastard child of the Alpha who had not rights at all to something like that . But , an Alpha College that was a guaranteed safe haven . For her , a Rogue female , no harm would come to her under the Councils watch , and shed be among lots of Alpha bloods too . That could be fun for her , she wasnt that old and well might just be able to get her itch scratched . She shook that off , had to stop thinking about s * x , shed sorted her own needs out this morning , had to woken up frustratingly hot and bothered in the middle of the night , and nearly cursed Parkers name , for not being there to sort her out . Gretta was nice , professional and asked where she was situated , wanted her to come in for a full interview . Belladonna was quiet for a moment , then bit the bullet and told her she was of rogue status , that that had happened just a few days ago . She heard the woman huff , then Gretta stated Do you feel you need an escort to come and get you ? I can send some warriors to collect you . then shed just chuckled herself I could send some Alpha pups on a mission , theyll love getting out of the grounds for a day or two . No , I was given a car upon rejection and allowed to leave . It wasnt a bad situation that saw me go rogue . Just now have no pack currently . Hmm , between packs you could say . Ill send through the address . Where are you ? Oklahoma City She answered . 1/4 10 Poin 19 There was silence and some typing could be heard , Hmm , thats an 8 to 9 hour drive … if you leave at first light you can be here by the end of the day . Ill put you up in a room here at the college when you get here . Thank you , Alpha Gretta . No problem , youre alpha blooded . Which college did you attend ? Ill pull your records up and get a good look at you prior to your arrival . Oh … um , I was never sent . She sighed now , wondering if that was going to hinder her in getting the job . Why not ? came the reply . She sighed heavily Bastard daughter of and Alpha , not well received or wanted . Stupid man , Ill get his details from you later . Ill see you tomorrow . Take your time and if you get into trouble call me right away . She thanked her once more and smiled to herself . Checked the route on her phone . It was pretty much a straight line west . Just had to exit Oklahoma City on to highway 40 and stay on it until the Sandia Heights turn off . An easy drive that would take her two states away ; that was good . She didnt know anyone out there at all . Hopefully , this would be the start of a new life for her and Freya . She set about packing her room up and called reception to let them know shed be checking out first thing in the morning . Showered and frowned once more as her belly ached once again , put her hand on it and massaged it to try and ease the cramping , only to still as she thought about what she was actually doing , feeling , had been doing now for the past few hours . Turned that shower off and dried off , really thought about it , as a doctor for pregnant she wolves would . No , she told herself , theyd not once in eight years gotten pregnant , and Parker had knotted every time she was in heat . It couldnt be , she bit her lip , couldnt hear anything or feel anything but that cramping sensation and her rubbing her belly all the time was indicative of a pups rapid growth . Freya , are we with pup ? she asked her wolf . There was silence for a long quiet moment and then a huff of annoyance came from her beast Yes , you are . She growled crankily . Well aint that just dandy now , she muttered to herself and was doing the math inside her 2/4 +10 Points 19 head instantly . It had been three days since she left , hed been gone for four days prior to that , had been in heat three days before hed left . If it was from the heat , hed have smelled it , known she was pregnant when he got home , because shed have been a week or more along . So , it had to be from that morning before hed left to go away , when hed knotted her out of the blue before going off to that mating ball , had murmured down at her about having a pup would be nice . So , hed not picked it up because she was barely four days along , shed only just figured it out . She was now 7 days pregnant . A full week along , what the hell did she do now ? Yours . Freya snarled Not theirs . Technically created inside that mating alliance . Not mated to him anymore , he has a new Mate . We did not know until after the rejection happened . The pup is yours , not his . Freya stated firmly . She thought about that very thing , her mating alliance , that pup clause , pups born in the Mate bond . Well , she supposed this pup would be born outside of the mate bond , so that mating alliance wouldnt come into play . She nodded Ours . She agreed with Freya . No , yours , I did not once mate that man or his wolf . Would never is not my mate . Freya stated and rolled over inside her mind to close her eyes . Shed been annoyed but now seemed uncaring about the fact that Bella was pregnant . She walked out to the bedroom and sank down to think about it , put her hand on her still flat stomach and felt for the heartbeat . Now she knew she was looking for it , and still couldnt feel it . She took a deep breath in to try and smell for it and then snorted , fully amused at herself , she wouldnt smell any different to herself , only to others around her . Force of habit she supposed and wondered what she should do about this little tid bit of news , guess it wasnt the hotel food that had been making her tummy cramp . She dressed and shook her head at herself , was a baby doctor , yet hadnt picked it up right away even though she knew all the signs of a pregnant she wolf . But then again , shed never looked for it for herself and why ? Because Parker was always looking for it himself , she didnt need to because if she was pregnant , hed tell her the moment he knew . She didnt doubt that at all , hed likely have been very excited about it . But now they werent together , and she was trying to start her life over . It seems fate didnt want her to be able to forget Parker Hartly . Was now going to be bound to him by his child . She huffed a little and here she was for the past few days thinking she was free and clear , not so much anymore .
