Olivis POV

As we approached the gate, my heart starts to race. I know that Connor has alerted the guard that I’m on my way, but returning with six large men will spread through the pack like wildfire. I couldn’t care less about the chatter. What I do care about is whoever was pretending to be Xavier and Miranda finding out about the king and his men. I have no idea what the hell they have planned, but I know it has everything to do with the

midnight wolf.

Della is sitting next to Hudson and I smile when I see them whispering in the back seat. The guard notices it’s me as he steps out of the small building and waves us through. I pull into an open space and smile when 1 see my brother and Becca waiting on the steps of the pack house. I slide out intending to get Della out next, but instead Hudson already has her in his arms.

We make our way towards the pack house and I notice many pack members watching as we approach. “Conn or and Becca, this is Hudson, Liam, Morteci, Abe, Donny, and Isaiah. Gentlemen, this is Connor and Becca, the Alpha and Luna of the pack.” Without a second thought, Connor and Becca both bear their necks to Hudson. “That isn’t necessary Alpha and Luna. You are a part of my family and family doesn’t bow. Besides, we need to keep exactly who we are a secret for now from the pack,” Hudson says.

My brother smiles and I can only imagine what story he has cooked up. “I’ve informed the pack that you are retired Alphas that are visiting packs for research on pack laws,” he says. I roll my eyes, but I can’t stop the smile that spreads across my face. My brother was always good at making up stories. “Let’s go to my office. The omegas will take your things to the home I’ve chosen for you. It is very close to Olivia and Ace’s new home and there are enough bedrooms for all of you.

We make our way through the pack house and again members are watching the men. Many are women with lust in their eyes. They are good looking men, but there is no need for these women to act like they are in heat. We reach the bottom of the stairs when I hear a growl. I turn in time to see Liam pinning someone to the wall. What the f**k did the pack member do to piss him off already?

My steps falter when I hear the word mate growled out by Liam. F**k, I need to make sure he doesn’t shift in front of the pack members who are starting to gather. I make it to his side and my eyes widen before a smile spreads across my face. “Liam, this is Ebony. She has been waiting for you. Tell your wolf to calm down, and she will go with us to the Alpha office.” Me calling him a wolf seems to snap him out of his haze.

“She hasn’t claimed us yet,” he says, looking back at Ebony. “That’s probably because you scared the hell out of her. Ebony, this is Liam. He has been waiting for you for a very long time. Do you think you can put him and his wolf out of his misery and accept him?” Liam growls low at me, calling him a wolf again, but I just smile. “Mate” she says and, without warning, he slams his lips down on hers.

I look to Hudson for a little help, who is busy smiling from ear to ear at his friend. “Hudson, a little help please.” “Liam, let the poor girl breathe. Let’s go to the Alpha office,” Hudson says. Hudson’s voice has him pulling back, but he refuses to let Ebony go. He lifts her into his arms, and she wraps her legs around his waist. I fight the urge to laugh as we make our way up the stairs. Well, that was certainly unexpected. Apparently the goddess agrees with these men coming to our pack.

Ace POV

61 Back to the Pack

I’m not sure how much time has passed, but I head back into the room. Despite my relief that Olivia hasn’t returned, I know I need to leave this room. I have to figure out where the hell I am and what’s going on. I slip on the sweatpants I find at the end of the bed. I move to the door, opening it slowly. A long empty hallway lies outside the door.

I have no idea where the hell I am. I’ve never seen this place before. How the hell did Olivia and I get here? I step into the hallway and something tells me to head toward the left. I make my way down the hallway, passing doors. When I finally reach the stairs, sounds are coming from the door next to them. Olivia’s words from earlier replay in my mind.

She wouldn’t really do that, would she? I move to the door, turning the handle. Expecting the door to be locked, but I’m met with no resistance. When the door opened a sight I thought I’d never see burns in to my brain. Olivia, my Olivia is riding that prick Nicholas. He smiles when he notices me. “What the f**k are you doing,” I scream at her.

“I warned you, Ace” she says with a moan. Despite my question, I’m not as angry as I should be. Why does seeing the woman that is my mate f**king that a**hole not have me feeling feral? I feel disrespected, but that is all I feel. Something else registers and I quickly close the door. I don’t feel any pain. I felt no tingles when she touched me, and now I feel no pain while she f**ks that a**hole. That isn’t Olivia, it can’t be.

Olivia is my mate. The only woman I have ever loved and she would never betray me. I move rushing down the stairs to what looks like an empty pack house. I don’t stop once I reach the bottom of the stairs. I rush toward the door that must lead to the pack yard. As soon as I reach for the handle, Olivia’s voice stops me. “You don’t care even a little about what you just saw. I thought you loved me, Ace. I guess I was wrong,” she

says.

Her words only solidify my thoughts that she isn’t my Olivia. I turn to face her. “Olivia, tell me about the first

time you saw me.” “I’m telling you that I don’t think you love me anymore, and you want to reminisce. What the hell happened to you, Ace? You haven’t been right since you were taken by that f**king witch. Is this some

kind of spell? I thought me f**king Nicholas would wake you up, but I guess I was wrong.”

Everything starts to snap into place. Memories of being taken by that pr*ck Nicholas. Finding out that

Cassandra was behind my father’s imprisonment and my mother’s death. Ryker, where the f**k is my Lycan? I focus all my energy on reaching him. I feel his presence in my mind, but I feel like there is a barrier between us. A memory of Cassandra standing in front of me and us being surrounded by a pink haze pushes to the

front of my mind.

My eyes move back to the faux Olivia. She stares at me like I have ten heads. “You have a Lycan, how,” she asks. “You are a f**king human,” she screams. Just as the words leave her mouth, my head feels like it’s

about to explode. What the f**k is happening? Banging like someone is taking a sledgehammer to a thick

piece of wood by my ear has me falling to my knees. I grip my head, praying for the pain to stop.

Before I realize what’s happening, I’m shifting. Ryker takes over and his eyes fixate on the woman now

standing on the stairs. It’s no longer the fake Olivia but Cassandra. He is in control and begins to rush toward

her. “I thought you would die with your pathetic mother. I guess I didn’t give that weak b**ch enough credit,” she says before she disappears, Ryker’s growl fills the room. The place that looks like a pack house fades,

and we are back in the cell

Ryker and I both agree it’s time to go home. I need to hold my mate and daughter before I go and tell Hudson

he was fooled by this greedy b**ch who wanted something that was never meant to be hers. He moves to the

bars and with very little effort rips the cell door away from the hinges. We rush down a hallway until we reach a door that Ryker breaks easily.

When we step outside, screams ring out around us as members of the coven get a look at Ryker. We don’t wait around to figure out how many of them have powers. I can sense they are witches and warlocks. How does Nicholas fit in here, I think as Ace runs at full speed. I’m not sure how the hell he knows where he is going, but I trust that he does. I sit back, my mind reeling. Guilt washes over me.

I was so concerned about getting answers I put myself in a position where I could have betrayed my bond. “No, it never would have happened. You knew immediately it wasn’t our mate. I agree we were to c*cky, but you didn’t think for a moment of f**king that b**ch. Get that thought right out of your head. Not many men would have fought whatever the f**k she used on us, but you did because you love our mate.”

“She is all you want, and you know her despite the black magic that crazy b**ch tried to use against us. She is ours,” he says. I smile to myself because he’s right. Everything about the fake Olivia felt wrong. Now I just have to wonder what Cassandra will try next now that she knows I’m Hudson’s son. She thought I would die with my mother, but now she knows I survived. This is far from over.
