My Promised Rejection (Olivia and Ace) novel Chapter 90

*********Trigger Warning Torture**********

Connor POV

I’m just about to check on Becca when I feel the guard at the gate link me. “Alpha, Alpha Roman is at the gate, and he isn’t alone. He is requesting to speak with you about an urgent matter,” the guard says. “How many warriors are with him?” “None Alpha. It is only Bart and Collette with him,” he says. Why the hell would he come here with those two a**holes? It’s too late if he changed his mind about wanting Candace. I smile to myself, recalling my sister ending her pathetic life.

I’m glad that Cassandra’s dead too. I know that Oli and my mom felt bad I wasn’t there for my pound of flesh, but I’m glad I wasn’t. I wouldn’t have been able to stop myself the way Oli did. Especially when she started talking about my dad. I did, however, enjoy watching the video of what happened frame by frame. That b**ch deserved everything my mother and sister did to her. I’m glad it was my mother that ended her evil a**.

“I’ll be right down. Do not let them in,” I say before cutting the link. I quickly run to our floor and Becca is still sound asleep, lightly snoring. She has been taking naps in the afternoon more often the farther along she gets in her pregnancy, and I’m glad. Making a pup is hard on her body. I can’t wait to be a father. I only wish my dad could be here to meet all our pups. I take solace in knowing he’s watching over them. Hearing that Oli is having triplets was a shock, but knowing our pups will grow up together is amazing. I press a kiss on Becca’s forehead, and she mumbles my name in her sleep. I smile as I make my way through the pack house. Becca’s forehead, and she mumbles my name in her sle

I finally make it to the gate and Collette is screaming about being released from Roman’s Alpha command. Her voice sounds like nails on a chalk board. I would like nothing more than to knock her out for being a mini version of her sister. When Roman finally notices me, he looks relieved. He also looks like sh*t. I guess breaking your bond, even a chosen one, takes its toll on a person. He looks like he hasn’t shaven in days, and he has bags under his eyes.

“Alpha Roman, I didn’t expect you to have the balls to show up in my pack after what you did. Honestly, I’m still shocked the goddess let you live. I may not be

So merciful.” Fear and regret shine brightly in his eyes.

“That’s why I’m here, Alpha Connor. I can’t even begin to tell you how sorry I am for my actions against your pack. I plan on focusing on being a better Alpha to my pack and a better man. I don’t want to be the reason my pack members are in danger from retribution by the Red Moon. Bringing you these two despicable wolves is a peace offering.”

“Roman, you can’t do this. We are members of your pack now. How can you just throw me and my daughters away like this,” Bart pleads. “You and your daughters are nothing but leeches. Candace was a cheating wh*re who never performed any of her Luna duties. You contribute nothing to the pack and Collette ha gged two of my warriors to assault them./You both care nothing for others, just like Candace. You doneserve to be members of any pack,” he says before turning back to me.

“I completely understand your anger with me, Alpha Connor, but I beg you not to destroy my pack because let my title go to my head. I don’t expect your forgiveness, but I ask you to spare my pack,” he says. I’m silent for a long pause,

“I’ll beg if that’s what it takes Alpha. My pack does not deserve to suffer for my poor choices,” he says as he starts to lower himself to his knees. “That won’t be necessary, Alpha Roman. You’re right, I am not willing to forgive you for aligning yourself with the council to attack me and my pack, but I am willing to allow you and your pack to live in peace. That is if you stay in line. His shoulders relax, and I swear I see unshed tears in his eyes.

“Thank you, Alpha Connor. You may not need it, but my pack will stand with you should you ever need us,” he says before he bears his neck to me. “Open the gate,” I say to the guard. He does as I order and as soon as it’s clear, Roman throws Bart and Collette to the ground at my feet. He nods to me before he turns without a word and leaves. I hope for his sake he stays true to his word because his pack is no match for mine.

With every crime I list the rage inside me intensifies. “So tell me again you don’t deserve to be punished.” She whimpers before she finally speaks again. “I’m sorry. I know I was wrong, but I still don’t think I deserv be tortured for eternity. Shouldn’t I be allowed to change,” she asks. “Only those who are truly sorry are given a second chance. You aren’t sorry. If Roman hadn’t rejected you and the council was successful in destroying ‘the Red Moon, you would have continued to be the c**t you are. Now enough talking.”

I produce a silver whip in my hand. She fights against the restraints, which only makes me laugh. We have been doing this for a few days, and she still thinks there is a way to escape me. I pull my hand back and snap the whip across her back. The scent of burning flesh and her screams send a shiver down my spine. I strike her three more times and each time her screams feel like a pulse deep inside me. I drop the whip and come to stand in front of her..

I wave my hand, producing a small dagger. I start at her right shoulder and slice down her arm to her wrist Blood pools around us as I move to the other arm. “Please kill me. I can’t take anymore,” she says. I lean in close so she can see my eyes. “There is no death here, only pain and suffering. I do have a surprise for you though, Candy. We are going to have another plaything very soon, so you won’t be lonely. I also have a treat for you. You are going to get to see live and in living color the moment Ace finds out he is about to be a father again with the woman that was always meant to be his.”

“No” she manages to croak out. “Yes, you should be happy. Della is going to get to be a big sister. She is going to grow to be the most powerful Queen the mortal world has ever seen. She is going to be surrounded by people who will love her. She has her true mother now and you won’t even be a memory.” Genuine tears roll down her cheeks before she finally succumbs to the injuries. She won’t be out long, so it’s time to prepare for our next guest.
