He could not inform Karis that his mother had departed and failed to return, especially after he had commanded her to do so. This would cause the boy to assign guilt to her, despite it not being her fault. She informed Benzy that she had been unaware of her pregnancy at that time. Both Benzy and Luke had faith in her. He believed she would have informed him had she been aware. Not her former self.
She refrained from informing him due to the apprehension of Mia’s potential actions against her and the puppies. Possessed valid grounds for apprehension. Mia would have disapproved entirely and would likely have attempted to harm her. Although she may not have desired to bear him an heir, he was unequivocally confident that she would never have tolerated someone fulfilling that role.
He was aware of that much regarding her. She had struck more than only Bella throughout the years they had been bonded as Mates. Disapproved of any she-wolf encroaching onto her possessions. She was indifferent to other wolves making contact with her and causing him pain. There are unequivocal double standards.
He would need to contemplate this matter well, confer with Bellay, and ascertain what she want to communicate to the children. She possessed a robust connection with them, making it probable that she alone could resolve this issue.
Bella approached and seated herself on a chair at the third-floor coffee hub. She observed the triplets approaching, recognised their desire to construct a snowman, and let them to accompany Dani and Robyn. She saw that they appeared to favour Robyn. Although none of them had observed him enter the flat that evening.
He only bowed at her and remained silent, having not talked to her since she was Marked and Mated, and had now become the Luna. Maintained distance from her predominantly. It was a curiosity; she now surpassed him in status, and she was aware that this was the reason.
Benzy and Macky walked behind the triplets, accompanied by Robyn and Dani. While both of her daughters were smiling and giggling, Karis appeared irritated. “Luna, do the children desire hot chocolate?””
Bella’s gaze shifted to the omega operating the coffee hub. She was not yet accustomed to being addressed as the Luna, but nodded, “Thank you, Amelia, that would be delightful.” She smiled up at her, a fair-haired, fair-skinned girl, yet unblemished, with attractive bright blue eyes, yet little, just 5 feet tall. Upon discovering her partner, he would far surpass her in height.
The one advantage of returning home was her familiarity with everyone, and their recognition of her identity. Moreover, they all appeared pleased to have her return. It was quite peculiar given her banishment and the likelihood that the entire pack was aware of the reason.
However, no one had said anything, at least not within her hearing range. She had not received any information on her having borne the Alpha’s offspring or the reason for her absence. It seems that they were all simply pleased to have her present as their Luna. It piqued her curiosity regarding Mia. She had received information directly from Luke on her deficiency in Luna attributes, but that was the extent of her knowledge.
The pack may have disapproved of her as well. She was unaware.
Dani observed as Robyn retrieved a chair for her, subsequently leaning down to bestow a gentle kiss, stating, “I must return to work.” “Or I shall face consequences,” he whispered to her.
Bella scowled at him, her expression darkening when their eyes connected moments later. “What is the reason?”“She enquired of him.”
“Consequences for my threats.” He communicated telepathically, yet verbally declared, “My conduct was inappropriate, thus I shall undertake one week of rigorous labor.”
She arched an eyebrow at him, contemplating the rationale for his efforts. That was not a punishment in any kind. Shouldn’t working for an entire week be considered a standard expectation for him? “I would not categorise that as punishment,” she remarked, as his gaze shift directly to hers.
His eyes were wide, and she saw a hint of panic within them before he turned and hastily departed. He then scowled and directed his gaze to Benzy, enquiring, “What was that all about?””
“Hmm, probably concerned that you will articulate those exact words to Luke.” He offered a partial smile.
“What is the reason?””
She observed his mouth curve into a broad smile and sensed his connection through the mind-link, ‘Because if the Luna deems his punishment inappropriate.’ It is probable that the Alpha will implement a far more severe measure. Given that he is being penalised for threatening you.
“Labour is not a form of punishment, Benzy,” she remarked with a shrug.
“It is, provided it prevents him from being with his Mate from 7 AM to 7 PM, permitting him to see Dani only during his allocated breaks.”
Bella shook her head and declared, “Work is not a form of punishment; he ought to be at work on any ordinary day.”
Observed Benzy arch an eyebrow at her, “Shall I convey your opinion to the boss?”“He inquired.”
She glanced from him to Dani and moaned, “No.” The girl was present to spend time with her mate, although she was unaware that this was his role at that moment. It became apparent that she was not had the opportunity to do so; it appears that Dani is receiving an unfavourable outcome in this arrangement. She arrived to spend time with Robyn but is being prohibited from doing so.
“I desire to allocate more time to him,” Dani groaned. “I anticipated it would extend beyond an hour intermittently.”
Bella gazed directly at Benzy, mentally communicating, ‘I believe Dani is the one facing punishment, not Robyn.’ Address that issue.
“Yes, Luna.” His voice returned to hers, laced with amusement. “Macky requires your assistance with something, Bella.” He then severed the connection and departed.
“How may I assist you, Macky?”She enquired, directing her gaze squarely at him. She recognised that he was exceedingly fatigued.
“You are quite demanding, Bella.” I am fatigued, to be candid. I believed that you and the triplets may benefit from some support. Contact your nanny so she may assist in supervising them while you attend to your other responsibilities.
