My Promised Rejection (Olivia and Ace) novel Chapter 137

Della POV

Valor is at my side as we make our way to the hospital to speak with Myra. She is to be released shortly. I can’t help the twinge of sadness I feel that Valor hasn’t brought up marking each other. I know wolf law says that we have to be of age to mate, but that is only because most of our kind get their wolves at eighteen. I am not a child. I’m not saying I’m ready to jump right into mating, but after seeing Maddy’s mark and knowing she is probably marking Ronan as we speak, I’m feeling a bit jealous.

Despite our kiss, maybe Valor isn’t as happy as I thought he was about us being mates. His chuckle has my steps faltering just outside the hospital doors. I turn looking at him, his eyes. are dark as night. “We may not have completed our bond yet, but Amethyst let me hear everything you were just thinking. Make no mistake, because I’m being patient little mate. I want my mark on your neck. I want your mark on my neck for the world to see. Don’t you ever doubt how happy I am that you are mine because we haven’t had a minute to ourselves,” he says.

A shiver runs down my spine as she reaches out and pulls me into his arms. He runs his tongue over my marking spot. “You are right about one other thing, Della. I have no intention of waiting to complete our bond. We both have our wolves and you are mine. The moment we have a moment alone, I plan to show you just how happy I am that you are my mate,” he says before taking my lips with his.

I can’t stop the moan when he swipes his tongue along the seam of my lips. I’m ready to wrap my legs around his middle again when he breaks the kiss. He places his forehead against mine. “Don’t hide your feelings from me, Della. If you have questions, ask them. You are all I have ever wanted, and I never want you doubting that,” he says before pressing another quick kiss on my lips. He takes my hand, and we head inside the hospital.

An older nurse spots us first. She must realize who I am even though I don’t know her name yet. “Princess, how can I help you,” she asks. “I am looking for Myra’s room.!” She leads us down a long hallway pointing out a room near the end of the hall. As soon as we reach the door, the sound of crying has my hand stilling before it reaches the handle. “Myra, you have to tell the truth. Dad would want you to. Don’t make my mistakes,” Maddison says.

“This is different Maddison. Elijah has the power to hurt dad. I don’t want to get Maddy in trouble, but he said if I didn’t say she did this to me, he could make sure dad is banished or worse. It was one thing to stand up to Lisa when I was the only one at stake, but I won’t risk dad,” Myra says. “I want his head,” Valor says in my ear, startling me. When I look at him, his fangs are visible and his eyes are black. “You can have him if my father agrees.” He nods andpresses a kiss to my forehead.

I turn back and push the door open. Both girls nearly jump out of their skins when they turn to us. “Della, you’re back,” Myra says. “I am. My mother called me about you being injured and Maddy being accused of harming you. I’m glad to see your wolf has healed you.” “She has healed me. She is amazing. Maddison and I both shifted while you were gone. Our wolves look exactly the same, except Daria, my wolf, has a white patch on her right foot and Deana, Maddison’s wolf, has a white patch on her left foot,” Myra says.

“I can’t wait to meet them. Now that you are awake, can you tell me who really hit you?” I can see Myra is struggling with the lie she is about to tell me. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do to protect my family, so I put her out of her misery. “I heard everything you just said, Myra, but even if I didn’t, I would know you were lying the minute you did.”

Tears roll down her cheeks and I move closer to her bed. “I’m sorry Della. I didn’t want to. I was just so scared after Elijah threatened to hurt my dad,” she says. I take her hands in mine and Amethyst pushes forward. She gasps seeing my eyes change color for the first time. “I’m not angry with you, Myra. I would do anything to protect the people that are important to me. He is your father.” “You have your wolf,” she says. Maddison moves to sit next to her sister. “I do. I have for a very long time. I need you both to trust me. To trust Amethyst my wolf.”

“I will protect both of you and your father, but you need to tell the truth, Myra.” “I will Della. I trust you,” she says. “Good, now I’m going to have my father call everyone to the training field. No matter what happens, remember what I said. I won’t let anything happen to your dad.” “I will. I promise” she says.

As soon as we step out of her room, anger bubbles up inside me. How dare that ba**ard threaten a member of my kingdom? “Spoken like a true queen,” Amethyst says. “Should we speak to your parents before we ask them to call everyone to the training field” Valor asks. “its time the whole royal pack learns exactly what I am and what I am capable of.”

“What the hell is going on? Why are you holding Alpha Ronan’s hand,” she asks, almost screeching. Ronan growls, and I can tell he is struggling with her disrespect toward me. “Ronan, I’m fine. Calm down and let me handle her.” He presses a kiss to my temple and I look back at Lisa. “Ronan is my mate.” “Bullsh*t, he is not your mate. This is a trick set up by the future queen to protect you from the consequences of hitting Myra with the statue,” she says.

I reach up and pull my shirt to the side, exposing my mark and Ronan does the same. The color fades from her face before her face flushes fire engine red. “You have no wolf. You can’t mark anyone, let alone an Alpha. I demand to know what trickery this is” she screams. I can see her father is about to agree, so I decide showing them is worth more than words. I slide my hand from Ronan’s and take a step back.

“Ronan, can you grab me clothes because I’m about to shred these?” “Of course,” he says and steps away. I don’t waste any time in shifting. It doesn’t hurt nearly as much as the first time. The minute Liora is standing in front of queen b**ch, she growls.“This isn’t possible. You were wolfless. You can’t have a wolf. You are a worthless omega,” she says, stepping closer to her father. When Ronan returns, I shift back and dress quickly.

Ronan takes my hand again and I face Lisa. “Now that we have that out of the way. We have called you all here to determine who tried to cause physical harm to another pack member. Myra, please step forward,” Ace says. Myra steps forward, and I watch as she keeps her eyes focused on the king. When I look toward Elijah, he is staring at Myra with a triumphant look on his face. “Myra, can you tell me and the witnesses here today who it is that you scented the day you were struck in the hallway of the castle,” Ace asks.

Her eyes flicker toward Elijah and Lisa before they move to me. My heart starts to race. Did he threaten her? “Lisa, is the one that hurt me,” she says. Elijah growls and starts to move toward her. “You are a li*r. My daughter is innocent, you little b**ch. You are just protecting that f**king omega,” he growls on the verge of shifting. Before he reaches her, Valor is in front of him and he looks pissed.
