My Promised Rejection (Olivia) novel Chapter 99

Bonus Chapter 1

Four Years Later

Della POV

I love playing with my brothers and sister in the playground Uncle Connor built for the pack. I’m the oldest pup of the bunch, so I keep a close eye on the others. My brothers, Oliver and Maverick, and my sister, Charlie, are all four now. Calliope who is technically my aunt, but I don’t call her that, she just turned five Aunt Rain and Uncle Kevin’s daughter Marissa is six. Sophia who is Aunt Becca and Uncle Connor’s daughter, is about to turn five,

The boys are always complaining about how outnumbered they are, but pretty soon there will be two more boys added to the group of pups. My parents just don’t know it yet. Amethyst chuckles and I smile. I love my family and I can’t wait to have two more brothers. Being the oldest and the most powerful means I will always protect the other no matter what.

I love watching over the pups and so does Amethyst. A few warriors stand around the perimeter keeping an eye on us, but the playground is right outside the pack house. We are safe this far into the territory. I can’t imagine anyone would make it past the warriors. “Della, will you push me,” Charlie asks, grabbing my hand to pull me toward the swings. “Of course, sissy” I say as I follow her. She takes her seat and I push her a few times as she giggles. I’m about to push her again when a pack link I shouldn’t technically hear at my age sounds in my head.

“Rogues have breached the northern border. There are at least fifty. All pack members get to safety now. Women and pups to the bunker,” my Uncle Connor practically yells. Everyone starts to scoop up the pups. Charlie immediately hops off the swing and wraps her arms around my middle. “Charlie you have to run back toward the pack house. Mom will be there to take you and the boys to the bunker.” I find my brothers in the chaos. I grab both of them before pushing them both in the direction they need to go. “Come with us Sissy.” Charlie pleads.

“I will, but I have to make sure all the other pups are safe.” I can see she wants to fight me, but she finally gives in. She takes the boys‘ hands, dragging them toward the pack house. I turn back toward the playground and I’m glad to see that all the pups are gone. That is until I hear a whimper. I rush toward the sound and find Calliope hiding under the big green slide. “Cali, we have to go. Come with me, I’ll take you to your mom.” She grips her knees tighter. “Della, I’m scared,” she says,

“I know Cali, but remember what I said. I’ll always protect you. You are safe when you are with me.” The sound of my mom’s voice and Nana’s has me standing to let them know where we are. “Mom” I call out, just as a deep guttural growl comes from behind me. I turn in time to see four wolves and one man step out of the tree line. It doesn’t take long for my mom and Nana to reach us. I quickly move in front of them as the man ai wolves approach us.

“Mom, get Cali out of here” I link her. “Della, come with us now. Let the warriors deal with the rogues,” she says, desperation in her voice. “These aren’t rogues. I can smell that aren’t regular wolves. If they made it this close to the pack house something is wrong. I need you to trust me. Please go,” I say, pushing my command. I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t have to. I won’t allow these wolves to hurt my family. As soon as I know they are gone, I face the man that’s smiling at me.

“Could you imagine that men? They left a little girl to face us all alone? What’s the matter sweetheart? Does the pack not like you? If you come with us, we will take good care of you,‘ he says. His words make my skin crawl. I’m not sure what he means, but I know it’s nothing good. “No, it’s not Della. We need to deal with these five and go help our dad and Uncle Connor, Amethyst says. When I focus back on the man, he has gotten even closer and the wolves are attempting to surround me.

“If you come with us like a good girl, you won’t get hurt. We will even leave your pack alone and return to ours,” he says. “So you are pack wolves?” His eyes darken, and I wonder if he wasn’t supposed to speak about being from a pack. If they wanted everyone to believe they were roques and this was a random attack. I can smell the rotten eggs scent that surrounds them. I’m not sure how they got it to cling to them, because they are definitely not rogues. “Who we are is not important,” he says as he stops a few feet away from me.

“What’s important is you are going with us. Luna’s orders,” he says with a smirk. “I’m not going anywhere with you. Now I’m giving you one chance to leave, but if you don’t, I won’t hold back. The man throws his head back and laughs while the wolves all growl low. I can feel my dad trying to link me, but I have no time to open our connection before the man in front of me lunges toward me. Instead of allowing him to even get close,

freeze him in midair.

“What the hell is this,” he says, looking around. “Where is the witch that’s doing this?” “There is no witch here, only me. I gave you a chance to leave our pack alive, but you didn’t take it.” The other wolves move forward, intending to trap me just as I snap the man’s neck and drop his body to the ground. They all stop in their tracks, just staring at me. I don’t have time to waste to wait for their attack. I wave my hand at each of them and purple mist comes from my fingertips, wrapping around them like a blanket.

I close my fist and the sound of bones breaking and whimpers sound all around me. I look around among them to ensure they are all dead before I shift taking off toward the border. Amethyst is faster than any wolf alive, and it takes us no time to reach the fight. As we look around, I can see many of the pack warriors have

been injured. The bodies of dead rogues litter the ground. Why would pack wolves be using rogues? What

were the wolves that tried to take us?

“Hybrids, definitely part wolf and part vampire,” Amethyst says. I look up in time to see a rogue running right

towards me. I’m just about to raise my hand when Ryker grabs the rogue and breaks him in half. My father quickly shifts and pulls on shorts before he rushes toward me. He wraps me in his arms, lifting me off the

ground. Most of the rogues are dead and the ones that aren’t will be very soon as the remaining warriors

outnumber them three to one.

“Della, you scared the hell out of your mother and me. I know how strong you are, but that doesn’t mean you

send us away when we are under attack. We fight together if we can. I don’t think I’ve ever heard your mother
