My Promised Rejection (Olivia and Ace) novel Chapter 92

Collette POV

I can’t believe this is happening. One minute I’m flirting with one of the hot warriors in the pack and the next I’m being dragged to the Alpha’s office. The minute I saw Roman, I knew that things had gone terribly wrong at the Red Moon. Candace was so certain that with the hybrids the pack would be easily overpowered. I had really hoped that they would end that f**king pack. Especially that little omega b**ch Rain. Kevin should have been my mate. I was born of Beta blood. She wasn’t worthy to have him, but the stupid goddess paired them up. She never makes mistakes my a**.

A few seconds later my father was shoved into the office behind me. “Roman, what the hell is going on? Why am I being treated like this in my daughter’s pack,” he asked. Roman looked like a mad man as he rose and moved toward my father. When he grabbed him by the throat, all I could do was scream. “Your daughter is nothing to me or this pack” he said, but wouldn’t tell us anything else.

Now that I’m stuck in this cell with my father, I have to figure out a way out. I refuse to be handed over to the council or worse killed. My mind is still reeling that my mother is the queen. She was always so pathetic. She was nothing more than a glorified maid. The woman that came here yesterday and sentenced my father to death by her own hand is not the woman that I knew growing up. She was weak and never talked back to my father. I was embarrassed by her and wished all the time she wasn’t my mother.

The sound of the door in the distance has me moving toward my father, who is sleeping on a disgusting mattress on the floor of the cell. “Dad, someone’s coming” I say as I shake his shoulders. He groans as the sound of the heavy footsteps get closer. “Dad, you need to wake up. Someone is coming” I say again a little louder. His eyes fly open, and he scrambles to sit up. I look up in time to see my mother, her mate, Kevin, and Ace step into view.

“Good morning, Bart. I hope you slept well,” she says sarcastically. “Mom, please don’t do this. No matter what dad did, he doesn’t deserve to die. You need to forgive him.” “Shut up Collette. Your father deserves far worse, but I don’t have the stomach for it, so wolfsbane injections it is” she says, producing a syringe. “Mom, this isn’t you. You aren’t this heartless.” “You’re right Collette I’m not. I would never hurt people I love. I would never stand by while my father poisoned my mother every day, but that’s exactly what you and your sister did.”

“Is Candace really dead?” “Yes, she is. She paid for her crimes against my son and granddaughter. My daughter, Olivia, carried out her sentence.” “She is not your daughter, I am. She is just a pathetic half–breed.” My mother growls and I can see her wolf is trying to take control. “No, you are not. You stopped being my daughter the minute you became a monster of your father’s making. I break my familial bond with you today. I am no longer your mother, and you are not my daughter,” she says. A pain starts in my chest and radiates out through the rest of my body.

If I wasn’t already on my knees I would have been. It feels like a part of me is being ripped out of my day. I notice my mother stagger slightly, but her mate steadies her. “How could you? I am your pup, I mange to croak out. “You haven’t been my pup in a very long time, Collette. This just made sure that when you are turned over to the council, the tattered bond is completely broken,” she says. I don’t know why tears well in my eyes.

I never cared about her before now, so why do I feel so lost at this moment? She looks at her mate, and he moves to open the cell door. “Please don’t do this, Amber, Just banish us. We will leave, and you’ll never hear from us again,” my father pleads. I nod my agreement, but it’s like he never spoke. The three men move into the cell. Ace moves to stand in front of me, so I can’t get to my father while my mother’s mate and Kevin grab a hold of my father,

“No don’t do this,” I scream as my mother steps into the cell. Without hesitation, she moves closer and pushes the needle into my father’s arm. Once she plunges the syringe, she steps back. My father’s screams fill the cell as they release him. Ace moves out of my way and I rush over to my father. Sweat beads on his forehead. I turn as my mother just stares at the man she once called her mate. “You said you would only give him the same dose he gave you. Why did you give him more?”

My mother chuckles and a shiver runs down my spine. “That was the same dose. I guess your father is just too weak to take what he dished out to me. I will be back to see you in the morning with your next dose, Bart, my mother says, and walks away without a backward glance. I rush toward the bars and desperately call out to Ace.

“We also have two other prisoners to discuss after we deal with the three ex–council members,” I speak up and say. My father smiles and motions for me and Olivia to join him. “Finn, this is my son and daughter–in–law. I also have a granddaughter, but she is off playing somewhere. I didn’t want her near any this talk of death and punishments,” he says. We discussed it ahead of time that Della’s identity would of remain hidden to anyone outside the pack and only certain pack members would know who she truly is until she and Amethyst felt it’s time to reveal themselves.

Again, the council bear their necks to us. “It is a pleasure to serve you and our future queen when the time comes” he says. “Thank you.” “Now the more pleasant things have been discussed. I think it is time that our king reminded the traitors of exactly what happens when you piss off the Lycan in charge,” Finn says.
