My Promised Rejection (Olivia) novel Chapter 81

81 What’s That Giggle About

Olivia POV

As soon as I cut the link, I’m on my feet. “We need to go. Mom, are you going to be alright to walk or do you need one of the men to carry you?” “Olivia, what’s happening,” Ace asks, taking a step toward me. I can feel his concern through our bond. I tell them everything that Connor told me. Growls fill the room. “F**k, Liam and my men should be able to help the pack hold them off until we get back. I’ve seen the Red Moon warrior’s training and I can’t imagine Roman’s warriors will be any match for them‘ Hudson says.

“Connor wasn’t sure how many warriors were with them. He is heading to the gate now. There is also another Alpha at the gate, but the warrior wasn’t sure who he was when he reported it to Connor. He thinks it’s Bernard of the Broken Rose Pack. He was one of the few packs that refused to stand against the council. He is also a greedy ba**ard. Connor told me that, based on his conversations with allied packs, the council was offering territory and pack members in exchange for help to defeat the Red Moon.”

“I can’t wait to rip that ba**ard Augustus’s head off. I want the last thing he ever sees to be my face before he meets the goddess,” Hudson says. My mother swings her legs over the edge of the bed, but I can tell she isn’t back to her full strength as her body sways slightly. Before she can even stand, Hudson scoops her up in his arms. “Hudson, I can walk,” she says. “I would hope that, if Amber were in your place, your mate would do the same for her. I can’t in good conscience, let you walk after all you have been through,” he says, and I smile.

“Amber is your mate” she asks and he chuckles. “She is and she is amazing. Now let’s get you back to your

mate. He has been losing his mind with worry about you and the pup,” he says. As I pick Calliope up, I notice Della’s eyes are glazed over. A few seconds later her eyes return to their normal beautiful blue color. She giggles as she heads toward Ace. “Sweet pea, what are you giggling about? What did Amethyst say that has you giggling,” he asks before I can.

“Amethyst said that the goddess is sending Auntie Tanith to the pack to help Uncle Connor. Amethyst said she was skipping through the realm at the chance to deal with Alpha Roger singing ding–dong the Alpha’s dead,” Della says. I fight my own smile. “Who is Auntie Tanith and Alpha Roger, Della?” She giggles again, but

this time when she blinks its Amethyst staring back at me.

“She is the goddess of vengeance and torture. She has been waiting a long time to get her hands on Roger.

He has a lot of sins to atone for and a lot of souls that want their chance to pay him back,” Amethyst says. A smile spreads across my face. I think I’m going to like Tanith.

We make our way down the hall and staircase. Once we are through the rubble, we find the men just outside

the castle watching as Cassandra waves her arms in the air. It looks like she is trying to use magic even

though nothing is happening. “What the hell is happening?” “She apparently doesn’t believe that Della

stripped her powers. She is exactly what she hates, human,” Ace says.

I look at Ace and Hudson, who look like they are about to burst out laughing as she screams in frustration.

Hudson schools his expression. “Shift and one of you carry the prisoner. We need to get back to the pack as

quickly as possible. It seems we have unwanted visitors,” he says. Without hesitation, Mordeci shifts and lifts

a screaming Cassandra over his shoulder.

They both take off and I turn to Ace. He presses a soft kiss to my lips before he shifts in front of me into Ryker. He bends to sniff Cailiope, and she just stares at him. He places his head against hers gently before !

place her in his arms. Despite being a beast, he is cradling her like she is made of the most precious glass. He and Waylen take off, leaving just me and Della standing on what remain of the castle steps.

“Can you run with mommy Della or do you want to ride on Danica’s back?” “We want to run, mommy. I know you’re scared, but you don’t have to be. Amethyst said everything is going to work out the way it should,” she says. I smile and bend down to wrap her in a hug. I press a kiss to her forehead and step back. We both shift and, despite the chaos that I know is happening back at the pack, I’m not filled with worry. In fact, knowing that my mother is alright, and the goddess is helping the pack lets me enjoy this first run with my pup.
