My Promised Rejection (Olivia) novel Chapter 39

39 Private Talk

Ace POV

I stretch, but the sound of a little snore has me freezing. I smile when I look down at the beautiful woman

lying next to me with her chestnut hair spread across the pillow. I turn toward her as the scent of her

strawberry vanilla shampoo invades my nose. It makes my mouth water, and I’m tempted to wake her up with

my head buried between her s*xy thighs, but I know she must be sore after last night. I will never get enough

of her.

It wasn’t just the amazing s*x but the connection we share. The bond that tethers our souls together. It’s like

nothing I’ve ever felt before. I will thank the goddess every day for bringing this woman back to me because

meant every word I said to her last night. I’m never letting her go.

I slide out of bed begrudgingly, but my mate deserves to sleep. My smile gets bigger as I step into the

bathroom. Olivia is my mate. I turn to face the mirror seeing my fresh mark. I run my finger over it and moan.

What the hell was that? Why did touching my mark go right to my c**k? Is that supposed to happen? I’ll have

to ask Olivia.

My mark is so different from others that I’ve seen. Normally, they are crescent or full moons with their mate’s

wolf. Mine is a silver wolf like my beautiful wolf mate and the full moon. The strange part is the small golden

crown that rests above the wolf. It must be because Olivia is a guardian wolf.

I do my business and brush my teeth before I step back into our room. I smile when I see Olivia is still fast asleep. I’m just about to step out of the room when her voice has me stopping in my tracks. “Are you really

going to leave a girl hanging this morning?” I turn smiling at her.

“I thought about waking you up, but I didn’t want to be inconsiderate. I figured you might be sore and tired.

We don’t have to be in the dining room for another hour.” “Wolf remember, I heal really quickly. Besides, I can’t say I’m really looking forward to spending any extra time with Xavier or Evelyn today. So I’m in no rush if you

want to come back to bed and be inconsiderate,” she says with a wink.

I stalk back toward the bed. I pull back the covers and do exactly what I thought about earlier. I will never get

tired of tasting this woman. Once we are both sated for the moment, we quickly shower. When Olivia steps into the living room, she is wearing a pair of snug jeans and a form-fitting tank top. I’m just about to reach for

her when a growl sounds in my head. I expect to hear Connor’s voice, but it never comes.

“Are you alright,” Olivia asks. I take a step toward her and pull her into my arms. “Better than alright,” I say, before pressing my lips against hers. When I pull back she smiles. We lounge around the cottage for another twenty minutes before we decide to head to the pack house.

The witch is supposed to arrive today, but I’m not sure what time. We agreed to meet Connor and Becca in

the pack dining room at around nine. Since Candace left, I haven’t spent much time there, but I’m excited to show off my mate this morning. I take Olivia’s hand and lead her inside the pack house. The closer we come to the dining room, the more anxious I become. It doesn’t take me long to realize it’s not my emotions I’m feeling.

wrap my arm around Olivia before we step into the dining room. “Hey, if you don’t want to do this, we can head back to the cottage and have breakfast alone.” She looks at me confused at first, but she quickly smiles. “I forgot you can feel my emotions. I promise I’m fine. I’ll just make sure my seat is as far away from Xavier

and Evelyn as possible. I don’t need to have an argument in front of the pack, she says before she leans in and pecks my lips.

I take her hand and we step into the dining room. Most of the tables are full and many of the pack members stare as we make our way to the Alpha table. When we reach the table, I pull out the chair for Olivia, Becca practically bouncing in her seat. “I see congratulations are in order” she says. I press a kiss on the top of Olivia’s head before I take the seat next to her. Della rushes around the table and jumps onto Olivia’s lap.

“Thank you, Becca” we both say in unison. “Welcome to the family Ace, Connor says, and I smile. I look toward the end of the table where Xavier and Evelyn are seated and notice that Xavier looks like he sucked on a lemon. A few minutes later the food is delivered to our table and I push all thoughts of Xavier from my mind. I smile when Della never moves off Olivia’s lap to eat her breakfast.

Olivia POV

As soon as Della climbs onto my lap, my body relaxes. A part of me loves the pack because it’s what Danica wants, but part of me still isn’t comfortable here. I smile when Becca congratulates us. I refuse to look at the end of the table, so I focus on helping Della with breakfast. We are halfway through breakfast when Xavier says my name. “Olivia, I would like to speak with you alone after breakfast before Miranda arrives,” he says.
