My Promised Rejection (Olivia) novel Chapter 67

67 Past Hurts and Present Worries

Evelyn POV

My eyes fly open, and I sit up in a bed that I’ve never seen before. The last thing I remember is that b**ch Miranda threatening to take my pup and mate. I slide off the bed and move to the large wooden door. I doubt it will open, but I try it anyway. It’s locked. I move around the room opening doors and looking out the

windows. The world outside looks like we are in the middle of a lush forest. I don’t see any other buildings

around.

I’m just about to try to link Xavier when the door to the room opens and a woman I’ve never seen steps inside. She is carrying a tray of food which she sets on a table in the corner of the room. She turns to face me and I

can see sympathy in her eyes. “I’m sure you are hungry, Evie. I brought you a sandwich and some milk,” she

says. “I’m not eating or drinking anything you give me. I don’t even know you and that crazy b**ch I don’t trust

at all.”

“I’m sorry you were brought here, but I promise you are safe. My name is Cassandra, and I’m a witch here in

the coven. No one will hurt you while you’re here,” she says. “Please, I heard Miranda telling my mate she was

going to get rid of me so they could raise my pup together. Your promises don’t mean sh*t to me. You are working with her.”

“No, I’m a prisoner as much as you are. Miranda is my cousin, but my powers are nothing compared to hers. I

have to follow her orders, or I’ll be punished. She can be cruel, but I promise she doesn’t want you harmed. In

fact, she told me if you don’t eat and drink or anything that happens to the pup, she’ll kill me. Evie, she told

me she made it clear to you she wants your pup. So you are safe until you deliver the pup,” Cassandra says.

Is that supposed to make me feel better?

“I can’t eat right now. Everything that’s happened has my stomach unsettled. I’m just going to lay down.” “Alrig

ht, I will bring you something for your stomach and more food in a few hours. I know you don’t believe it, Evie, but you can trust me. Hopefully, in time, you will come to believe that and we can become friends. You are going to be here for a while,” she says before she leaves. I hear the lock engage, and I sit down on the side of

the bed. I place my hands on my swollen belly.

My daughter decides now is the moment to let me know she is with me. She kicks and tears spring to my.

eyes. “I will protect you, my sweet girl. I promise I’ll do everything I can to get you back to your daddy, sister, and brother.” I fight the tears that threaten to fall. Maybe this is my punishment for all the pain I’ve caused my pups and Charles. I’m destined to suffer for all the suffering I’ve caused.

I curl in a ball and rub my hand over my belly. My eyes start to feel heavy again and sleep consumes me. I

must be dreaming. Pack members are flitting about, and I’m standing with my pup in my arms. Xavier’s arm

is wrapped around my waist. Connor and Becca are sitting on the ground with their pup sitting between

them. I smile when I see Olivia and Ace walking toward us. Della is running around them and Olivia is

smiling.

She looks happy and beautiful. My eyes move down her frame and I notice a slight bump. My daughter is

having a pup. I expect her to go to Connor and Becca, but instead she walks towards me. When she finally

“Nana Evie, I’m going to be a big sister Della says. I reach down and scoop her up. “Yes, you are, and you’re

going to be a great big sister.” “Mom, we find out what the pup will be today,” Olivia says and my heart squeezes in my chest. She called me mom. “That’s so exciting, Olivia. I can’t wait to know what my new grandpup will be.” She looks at me confused. “Mom, why are you calling me Olivia? You’ve always called me Oli” she says.

“I really don’t care what the hell Miranda wants. She has taken me away from my family.” “You mean your mate. You really don’t have a family anymore,” she says. I stay silent, but her words bring the dream rushing back. “I didn’t mean to upset you, it’s just that Miranda said your son tolerates you and daughter hates you. That must hurt. I don’t have any pups, but I’m sure that can’t be easy. Maybe that’s why Miranda is so

“She can’t have my pup. I love my son and daughter. She knows nothing about my pups, and she has no right to say such things. Get out and don’t come back.” “Evie, I can’t do that. You are going to get us both in trouble” she says, reaching for my hand. I back up until my back is against the headboard. “Don’t call me Evie. We aren’t friends. I don’t care if you get in trouble. I’m not eating or drinking anything, now get out.”
