57 Truths Revealed
Ace POV
As soon as I know I’m alone, I get to my feet. I look around the room, which is made up of four cells and the door which must lead inside. “Ryker, what is the plan here?” “The plan is to listen. There is a reason we have been brought here. We need to know exactly what that reason is so we can protect our mate and pup,” he says. The door to the room creaks open and that pr*ck Nicholas steps inside first.
He smiles at me when he notices I’m awake. “Our guest is awake, mistress,” he says to a woman that steps into the room behind him. “She is definitely a witch and a powerful one at that,” Ryker says. I want to ask him why the hell a witch and a vampire would be working together, but I can’t let them know about Ryker yet.
“I see that Nicholas. Leave us,” she says. I can see he wants to argue, but like a good lapdog he rushes from the room. The door closes and she smiles at me. “Hello Ace, my name is Cassandra. I’m sorry we are meeting under these circumstances, but your mate is interfering in my plans,” she says. It’s all I can do not to growl. “Don’t worry though, I won’t harm her. I actually need her very much alive so you can rest easy,” she says.
“You also won’t be harmed. Once I have what I want, you’ll be returned to the pack. Depending on your behavior, I can make your stay her a lot more comfortable,” she says. “You might want to tell your buddy the blood sucker that. He seems to want my mate and he doesn’t like me very much.” She chuckles before
conjuring a seat to take. Once she is seated, I study her features. They seem familiar, but I know I’ve never
seen this woman before.
“You don’t have to worry about Nicholas. He knows the penalty for crossing me. He also wants me to be
happy. Truth be told, I may have given him a little something to make him love me. Black magic is potent,
especially for the weak. It makes him easier to order around,” she says. F**k, as much as I hate the guy no
one deserves to be toyed with. “Why am I here? What is Olivia doing to interfere with your plans?”
“I’m sure you realize by now that your mate isn’t just an ordinary wolf. She is a guardian. Not just any guardian but the guardian of the midnight wolf. The most powerful being to walk the earth. She is said to be
a direct descendant of the goddess. She can even cross realms,” she says. I won’t tell her I already know all
this, because I have a feeling that the more she talks, the more she reveals.
“Being human, I’m sure all of this is overwhelming. I’m still confused about why the goddess chose you for
such a special wolf. Don’t get me wrong, you are a very handsome man, but you are human. Her mate should have been a powerful creature like a alpha wolf or Lycan” she says with a smirk. “You seem amused by the
thought of a Lycan having my mate. The goddess doesn’t make mistakes. I would think a powerful witch
would know that.”
“Careful Ace, I like you, but I don’t tolerate disrespect from any creature. Besides, I’m amused because the last of the Lycan’s are hiding in a prison of my making. They believe I rescued them many years ago, but really I just needed to keep a few alive and who better than the king.” The story Hudson told us comes rushing back.
“Honestly, after that b**ch Evelyn gives birth, I won’t need them alive any longer as long as her child proves to be the midnight wolf. My visions of her child are cloudy at best but the fact that Olivia was drawn to that pack means the child will be born there. The Alpha wolf makes the most sense.. I know the goddess is trying to hide the child from me, but she won’t be able to hide them for much longer,” she says.

My heart starts to race thinking about Della. She will not take my pup. “What do you plan to do with the pup once you have it?” “Goddess, Ace, I don’t even have to be able to read your mind to know what you’re thinking. I’m not that evil. I plan to raise her as my own. She will make me Queen of the Supernatural world. With her by my side, I’ll rule for centuries unopposed by any creature. I will have ultimate power of the supernatural world,” she says.
“You say you’re not evil, but you wiped out the Lycans. Beasts that trusted you from what you’ve said. That sounds pretty evil.” “Had the King taken me up on my offer of becoming Queen, none of this would have been
necessary. Instead, he was enamored with some wolfless woman. He believed she was his mate. As if the goddess would pair a Lycan with a woman who was basically human,” he says.
I’m barely holding onto control as I listen to this evil b**ch talk about my mother like she is nothing. She is
the one that made sure Ryker stayed dormant. She is the reason my father and mother couldn’t be together. “She was unimportant anyway. Watching the king’s heart break as I took her away was the most satisfying
part after he rejected me. When I cast the spell to ensure her son never met his beast, I planted a seed of
death that would in time grow and end her pathetic life,” she says, as if she is talking about the weather.
I’m on the verge of shifting when the door to the room opens and a**hat rushes inside. “There are trackers
mistress, just outside the coven walls. Do you want us to deal with them,” he asks. “No, I’ll deal with them,
Nicholas. Go get our guest some food and be nice. I will not be pleased if you upset him. After he eats, we
can call the pack with my demands” she says. “What demands” I ask but she leaves without answering and
Nicholas just smirks.
“Ryker, we can’t stay here. I want her head now.” “I know so do I, and we will have it, but we need to see if she
will spill about the council’s involvement, if there was any. I’m not sure her so–called vision of the attacks by
the council was anything more than her own well thought out plan to kill the Lycans and imprison our father.
If she is working with someone other than the council, we need to know. We are here now. We need to make
sure we know everything before we tear that b**ch limb from limb,” he says. As much as I know he is right, it
doesn’t make staying in here while that b**ch is out there thinking she’s won. She will never have my
daughter. She is going to pay for every person she has hurt.
Olivia POV
Della and I are lying in bed in one of the guest rooms on the Alpha floor. Connor insisted until Ace got back
he wanted us close. The minute I stepped into the pack house, Della was waiting. I scooped her up and held
her close just like Connor suggested. She laid her head on my shoulder, so her mouth was close to my ear. “Amethyst said daddy is safe. Ryker will protect him, mommy. He’ll be home soon,” she said. I fought back
tears as I followed Becca upstairs to this room.
I haven’t heard from Ace since the brief conversation when I was running through the trees. I’m afraid to link
him and alert whoever has him. I know that sounds silly, but I have no idea what’s happening or what powers
they have. “I’m fine, my love. I promise you,” his voice breaks through my thoughts and I fight back tears as I
hold Della tighter.
“Where are you? What’s happening?” “I’m in a coven, but I’m not sure which one or exactly where. I have so
much I need to tell you, Olivia, but I need you to know how much I love you. I can feel your fear through our
bond and it’s killing me. I promise you that I’m not hurt. I’ve been fed, and I was even given a mattress,” he
says. “Basically, saying you are a prisoner isn’t helping me Ace. Why can’t you just shift and break out?”
“Iv’e already learned so much about the past, Olivia. I need a little bit longer. The witch who ordered me to be

taken likes to talk. In fact, since I’m just a pathetic human she is basically spilling her guts. I’m not a threat to her. She insists you are interfering in her plans, but she doesn’t want to harm either of us,” he says.
“Well, that’s good at least. So what does she want?” “She wants the midnight wolf” he says, and Danica pushes to the surface. Little hands on my face have my body relaxing. “Don’t worry mommy. I’m safe. Amethyst will protect me. You’ll protect me,” she says. I press a kiss on her forehead. “Thank you, sweet pea.” She lies back down next to me enjoying her cartoons like nothing happened.
“The witch’s name is Cassandra, Olivia. The witch my father thought saved him from the council is the reason all the Lycans died. She was responsible for the attack,” he says. My head is spinning. None of this makes sense. Before I can ask him what else she said, the link is cut.
Someone must have walked in and he didn’t want them to know he could link. At least that is what I tell
myself. I know he isn’t hurt or worse because I would feel it. Our bond is strong and blazing like a flame. I won’t lose him or Della. I say a silent prayer to the goddess to keep him safe and return him to me soon.
