My Promised Rejection (Olivia) novel Chapter 75

75 Talking to the Pack

Olivia POV

“Good morning, sweet pea. Are you ready to hang out with grandpa today?” She giggles and I notice her eyes flicker between hers and amethyst. “Mommy, Amethyst said we don’t need to train. Grandpa’s mother was the last midnight wolf, so he doesn’t understand our powers are liking breathing for us Amethyst says” Della explains. “Do you understand what’s happening, Della?” “Yes, the bad witch wants me. She took Nana Evie because she thinks Calliope is the midnight wolf. We need to rescue them both,” she says.

“Are you afraid to face the bad witch?” “Amethyst said we don’t have to be afraid, and I trust her mommy. Besides, you and daddy will be with me.” “I trust her too sweet pea and your right we will be with you the

entire time.” “Mommy, are you still mad at Nana Evie because she hurt Grandpa Charlie?”

Her question takes me off guard. I’ve thought about the answer since I got the chance to see my dad. I truly

thought I had forgiven her, but seeing him proved me wrong. I’m still holding onto the anger despite not

wanting to. I’m angry that she got to live her life and he didn’t. It isn’t even about her betrayal, it’s about what

it cost him and me.

“I am sweet pea, but I’m trying not to be. I don’t want you to worry about that. She can be your nana and

Xavier can be your papa if you want. There are just some things that are hard for mommy to forget.” “That’s

ok mommy. Let’s go spend time with Grandpa Hudson,” she says.

I help her get dressed in a pink short set with a unicorn on the shirt before I grab my own shorts and t–shirt.

We head out of the room, and I’m shocked to see Ebony ready to knock on my door. She has been attached to

Liam since they found each other so I’m surprised to see her alone. “Eb, what’s up?” The look on her face lets me know something is definitely wrong.

“I thought I would call to talk to Candace. I wanted to reassure her that I’m still planning to get Della away from you and Ace so she wouldn’t try anything while we are trying to get Evelyn back. When she finally

answered, she told me how worthless I was. She told me she didn’t need my help anymore because the council is on her side. She also told me I should stay away from Ace because she had plans for him,” she

says.

Danica growls, and I’m sure my eyes are black. “I’m so sorry, Olivia. Sorry that I ever helped that wretched

woman,” Eb says. “Eb, I’ve already forgiven you. You need to forgive yourself. Thank you for letting me know what she said but I’m not afraid of that conniving b**ch. As far as the council, they already told her she couldn’t have Della.” “Mommy, said a bad word” Della says with a giggle, reminding me we aren’t alone.

“Sorry sweet pea.” “It’s ok, Candace is a meanie. She doesn’t love me or my daddy, but I don’t care. I have you and daddy. You love me” she says. I pull her into my arms. My heart breaks for my daughter. Candace didn’t deserve her or Ace. I swear to the goddess she is going to suffer if I get my hands on her. “I love you sweet pea. Come on let’s go find grandpa and daddy.” I scoop her up and stand to my full height.

“Thank you Eb. If you hear from her at all let me know immediately. She is no real threat. I don’t know what she has planned but she is the least of our worries right now.” “Of course,” she says, giving me a hug before she turns to leave. I make my way downstairs and through the pack house. When we step into the pack yard I can hear a loud rumbling in the direction of the training field.

I set Della on her feet and take her hand into mine. Five minutes later we join a huge group of people that

have surrounded the training ring. I excuse myself as I try to move closer to what everyone is watching. I stop dead when I see Ace and Hudson wearing only boxer briefs fighting, Danica growls as multiple she–wolves ogle our mate. I’m just about to growl when someone else does first. I smile when the three most brazen females drop their heads at Amber’s growl.

Looks like my new mother–in–law is very possessive of her mate too. I turn back just as Ace takes Hudson to the ground. A growl erupts from Hudson and I know Waylen doesn’t like what just happened. He is like every

other Alpha wolf that doesn’t like to be bested. Hair starts to sprout on Hudson’s arms. I’m not worried that Waylen will hurt Ace, but he will expose the Lycans existence. “Waylen, give Hudson back control,” Amber

“Ace, what’s happening,” I link him, panic flowing through me. “It’s time to stop hiding Olivia. I promise that
