My Promised Rejection (Olivia) novel Chapter 52

52 You Gave Up That Right

Candace POV

“Candace come to my office. The council members have returned with your brat,” Roman says. I smile as I pull on my dress and look down at the handsome omega, I just f**ked. “You tell no one about what we just did, because if you do, I’ll say you forced yourself on me. If you’re a good boy, we might make this a regular thing.” “What about the Alpha, Luna? Won’t he feel the pain from us f**king,” he says more out of fear than

loyalty to Roman.

“You let me worry about that. You just remember what I said, Samuel. Now get out and if anyone asks you

were up here to clean.” “Yes Luna,” he says, rushing from the room. I noticed Samuel a few days ago when I was in the garden. His build is similar to Ace’s and, despite being an omega, he f**ks like a champ. He’ll do until I can get Ace back into my bed. I spray the room and myself to cover his scent before I head to Roman’s

office.

When I step inside, I immediately notice that Della isn’t with them. They must be forcing Ace to bring her to

1. me. I smile to myself as I move to stand next to Roman. “Gentlemen, I trust you were able to straighten

everything out,” Roman says. “Yes, we were and after speaking to your ex–husband, Olivia, Della, Amber, and

Alpha Xavier, we found quite a few interesting details about you Luna Candace.

My heart starts to race with each name he lists. He talked to my f**king mother and Alpha Xavier. F**k, why

the hell were they involved? Xavier isn’t even the Alpha anymore. “I have no idea what details you could

possibly mean. I’ve done nothing wrong.” “Do you really want me to list your offenses, Luna,” Finn says. “How

can you possibly take the words of a pack and man she left” Roman asks.

“What of her mother and daughter? What reason would they have to lie,” Gregory asks. “Please let me just talk

to Della. I told you they are poisoning her against me. She is just a pup she doesn’t know any better.” “Luna

Candace, did you reject your fated mate when you were eighteen years old because he was an omega in your

birth pack,” Finn asks. I debate about lying but the pr*ck still lives in the pack. If they find out I lied, it will

make it worse.

“I did, but I had my reasons. I am of Beta blood. I needed a strong mate. He was weak.” “So you rejected a

wolf mate for a human, and you stand here talking about weakness. Even an omega is stronger than a

human. So what was the real reason,” Finn asks. “I couldn’t be mated to an omega. At least Ace was going to be the pack doctor. I deserved better than a mate with an omega rank.” “So you lied about Roman being your true mate,” Gregory says.

I’m tempted to tell him he’s my second chance, but we all know that wolves that reject their mates without

good reason don’t get a second chance. “I deserved to be Luna, besides I love Roman. I can’t help that I fell in love with him. That is not a crime.” “You are right Luna it’s not a crime, but it definitely is in poor form. The

goddess doesn’t make mistakes,” Finn says.

I fight the growl that wants to escape my throat as my wolf paces in my mind. How dare these two ba**ards

question me? “Did you ever tell your pup she was bad and call her a half–breed,” Gregory asks. “I most

certainly did not. I love my daughter. Where on earth would she hear such a word?”

mother said that you never acted as a mother to your pup. Why on earth would your own mother say such a thing?” “I have no idea. Maybe she is angry because she is all alone. She has no family, and she is taking it out on me by telling lies.”

“Finally, we spoke to Alpha Xavier, who said that you ran out of the pack, and you made it perfectly clear you wanted nothing to do with your daughter. Based on all of this, Della Morris will remain in the care of Ace and Olivia Morris,” Finn says. “You can’t be serious. You can’t keep me from my pup.” “Candace calm down,” Roman says. “No, I will not calm down. This isn’t fair. I am Della’s mother. I have the right to raise my pup.”

“Correction you had the right to raise your pup before you abandoned her. Choices have consequences, Luna Candace” Gregory says as they both stand. “We will take our leave, but I do hope that you will respect our ruling, because if you try to do anything against what we’ve said you will be imprisoned for kidnapping, Finn says. “Kidnapping my own pup.” “No, kidnapping Ace and Olivia Morris’s pup,” they say before turning to leave

My wolf is pushing to the surface and I know I need to get outside. She is as pissed as I am. Ace is ours, and he doesn’t get to live happily ever after with that b**ch. I rush from the office ignoring Roman calling my name. As soon as I step out of the pack house, I shift shredding my clothes. “We have to figure out a way to get to Della. It’s the only way that Ace will listen.” “Get that pack sl*t take her and bring her to us,” Laney says

“That’s brilliant. She can get her out of the pack and bring her here. If she doesn’t get caught, I’ll have Roman offer to take her in. Hell, she can even be his mistress for all I care. It’s perfect.” She turns running back toward the pack house. When we reach the tree line, I shift and grab a dress from one of my bins that no one else can touch. I make my way inside and up to our floor. The sound of things breaking has my steps

A loud growl has me backing up. The door flies open and Roman steps into the hallway. His eyes are black, and I know Oscar is at the surface. “Why do I scent a male in our room,” he says, taking a step closer to me.” Roman, what the hell are you insinuating? Do you not trust me? How could you even think I would ever betray you?” “Then explain why there is the faint scent of another male,” he says.

“Roman, I think one of the omegas was up here cleaning earlier. You know if I did something so vile you would feel it Roman. We are bonded. I would never do that to you.” His features soften, and his eyes return to their normal brown color. He takes a step toward me and I take a step back. “I can’t believe you would accuse me of such a thing. I am many things Roman, but I am not a cheat,” I say, tears running down my cheeks.

This time, I let him pull me into his arms. “I’m sorry Candace. I wasn’t thinking. I was just so angry at the thought of another man touching you I didn’t stop to think. You’re right. I would have felt the pain if you cheated and I didn’t. I am going to make sure that only female omegas clean this floor so Oscar and I don’t lose our sh*t. Do you forgive me my love,” he asks. “I do, but you owe me a really good I’m sorry gift, like a necklace or a ring.” “Of course, whatever you want,” he says before he lowers his mouth to mine.

I pull back before he can deepen the kiss. I need to make that phone call to Ebony. “As much as I would love to feel you buried inside me Roman, I’m just not in the right frame of mind after that sh*t with the councilmen. I think I’m just going to lie down for a while.” “Of course, I’ll come get you for dinner in an hour,” he says before pressing a kiss on my forehead.
