59 Telling Hudson 

Hudson POV 

I can’t imagine why the hell Liam just ran out of here like his a** was on fire. We were in the middle of a conversation about Ace returning and he jumped out his chair and took off. I retake my seat back behind my desk expecting him to return any minute. A knock on the office door has me sitting back in my chair. 

When the door opens a little girl steps inside followed by Olivia. My heart starts to race. I study the little girl’s features and I can see bits of my mate Lorraine in her features. I fight the tears that threaten to fall as I stand moving around my desk. 

“Hudson, this is your granddaughter Della. Della this is your grandpa,” Olivia says. Her words break the dam and the tears flow down my cheeks. The little one moves toward me. When she comes to stand in front of me she reaches her hands up to me. My beast whimpers as I reach down and scoop her up in my arms. 

The minute she is in my arms I feel whole once again. I’ve had this dull ache ever since I lost Lorraine. It became part of me but now having Ace and Della the hole that was left behind by my broken bond has been filled. “Where is your daddy?” “Liam do you think that you can take Della to get a snack while I talk with Hudson” Olivia says. 

I didn’t even realize that Liam had stepped into the office. “Of course, my queen” he says. I smile at the surprise on Olivia’s face. She will be queen if Ace takes his rightful place some day. I reluctantly set Della on her feet. “It’s alright grandpa. Now that I know about you we can spend lots of time together” Della says. Warmth spreads throughout my chest hearing this precious little girl call me grandpa. I missed out on seeing my own pup grow up but I refuse to let the same thing happen with Della. Liam takes her hand and they close 

the door behind them. 

“Thank you, Olivia. I never thought I would find Ace but to know that not only do I have a son but a 

granddaughter has given me a new sense of purpose. I am also grateful to have a daughter.” She smiles and 

I’m so glad that Ace found her. “Of course, Hudson. She was excited to meet you. I promise you can spend 

more time with her before we head back to the pack but I needed to speak to you first” she says. 

A feeling of unease washes over Waylen and I. I’ve noticed that he has gained so much of his strength back 

since we’ve met Ace. Now he is at the front of my mind wanting to hear every word Olivia has to say. “Of 

course, what did you need to speak to me about?” “I’m not even sure where to begin” she says. “Take your 

time and let your wolf lead you.” 

“I had rejected Ace because he was married when I realized he was meant to be mine.” I try to keep the look 

of shock and anger from my face. When Ace and Olivia were here together I could see how much she loved him so I knew she had her reasons. “Della’s biological mother left Ace and Della a year ago. My brother is the Alpha of the pack we live in. When I/returned for his Alpha ceremony Ace and I found each other again,” she 

says. 

“This time there was nothing stopping us from accepting our bond. I found out shortly after that my wolf was special.” I look at her confused. “I am a guardian wolf.” My heart starts to race again. The only time a guardian wolf is born is to protect a midnight wolf. I look at the door my granddaughter just walked through before I look back at Olivia. She nods confirming my fear. Della is the midnight wolf. 

“Have you spoken with her beast?” “We have. Her name is Amethyst.” “Does anyone else know of her

existence?” “Yes, only people we trust. My brother and sister in law and the Beta and Beta Female of our pack. They are our family and I trust them with my life,” she says. “Even people you think you can trust can betray you Olivia. You need to keep her wolf a secret for as long as you can.” “That‘ actually why we are here, Hudson. Someone you trusted has betrayed you” she says. 

My body bristles at her words. None of the men here would betray me. They have been the only family I have had for the last thirty years. I trust these beasts with my life. I’m just about to tell her that isn’t possible when 

she speaks again. “Cassandra the witch you spoke about betrayed you Hudson.” 

Now I’m even morre confused. “Olivia, Cassandra died. I watched rogue vampires bleed her dry. There was nothing I could do trapped behind the barrier. I hated myself for a long time for failing her but I promise you 

Cassandra is very much dead.” 

“Hudson, I am sure that you did see what she wanted you to see but I promise you she is very much alive. In 

fact she is so alive she is holding Ace prisoner as we speak,” she says. I can’t stop the growl that escapes 

1. me. I stand to my feet Waylen trying to take control. “My son is in danger. Why are we hear talking if your 

mate is in danger” I ask, harsher than I mean too. Despite my anger Olivia smiles at me. 

“Ace allowed himself to be taken. We knew the vampires attack had something to do with the midnight wolf 

but Ace was hoping to get more information by allowing them to kidnap him. Believe me I wasn’t happy at first but I trust Ace and Ryker,” she says. “What does any of this have to do with Cassandra being alive?” 

“When I was able to talk to Ace last night he told me that the person who was pulling the strings was 

Cassandra,” she says. 

“That could be a coincidence. I’m sure there is more than one witch named Cassandra in our world.” “I know you don’t want to believe this Hudson but I promise you its the same Cassandra. She has no idea that Ace is a Lycan. She apparently likes to talk and because she thinks that Ace is human and not a threat, she is talking a lot” she says. Could this really be the same Cassandra? What could she have possibly gained by 

killing the Lycans? 

I see sadness in Olivia’s eyes that makes unease wash over me. “She wanted you to choose her Hudson. Not because she loved you but because she thought your mating would result in creating the midnight wolf. She wants to have control over the midnight wolf. When you refused her she decided to take matters into her own hands. We have no idea who else is involved but she is the one that killed the Lycans. Ace isn’t sure yet if she 

had help but she is the reason that Ryker was dorment for so long,” she says. 

The spell she put on Lorraine to protect our child. It wasn’t for protection. I can feel my claws extending and Waylen wants blood. “Hudson, I need you to calm down. You need to know everything” she says. I take some deep breaths and sit back in my chair. I nod signaling for her to continue. “Not only did Cassandra spell Ace to keep his Lycan dormant but she planted a spell of disease inside Lorraine. It was what utimately took her life. In the human world we would call the disease cancer.” 

This time I can’t stop Waylen when he pushes forward. We shift and stand to our full height. “Where are they holding my son?” In this moment I don’t care if the council comes for me. I will help my son. If this truly is Cassandra he is underestimating her powers. The words a mix of mine and Waylen’s voice. “We aren’t sure yet. Ace is in control right now Hudson. Believe me it’s making my skin itch to not know where my mate is but we have to trust him.” Waylen turns picking up the chair from behind us and chucks it at the wall. 

It doesn’t take long for Liam and my other men to rush inside. When Della steps inside behind them I expect her to be scared of Waylen but instead she moves to step past Liam. When he reaches out to stop her Waylen

growls. “Waylen won’t hurt me. Amethyst said he is a good beast” Della says. “What does she mean Waylen?” 

“Our granddaughter is truly the midnight wolf. Her wolf can talk to any beast. She told me how much she loves us already. I can feel our connection to her. I believe Olivia, Hudson. I know you have lived with the guilt over Cassandras death all these years and you don’t want to beleive she would betray us, but she has” Waylen says. The feeling of a small hand on Waylen’s hairy leg has him bending down to Della’s level. She grips the side of his snout before placing a kiss on his nose. 

My big bad beast nuzzles our granddaughter and I smile. When he stands back up Della is in his arms. “I think the question now Hudson is do we continue to hide here like a scared animal or do we deal with the evil b**ch that betrayed us and all those that helped her,” Waylen says. 

“It’s time to leave this place grandpa” a voice similar to Della’s says in our mind. I look at my granddaughter through Waylen’s eyes and she smiles. “It looks like we will be leaving this prison and finding witch that put us here. She better pray Ryker kills her first because if I get my hands on her she will wish for death.”
