69 I’ve Missed You

Olivia POV

“Hello Oli girl” he says. Tears stream down my cheeks as I stare at the man I lost five years ago. How is this real? How can he be here? He moves until he is standing in front of me. He reaches down and pulls me into his arms. For the first time since I lost him, everything in my life feels right, I’m in my father’s arms. “I’ve missed you daddy” I say unable to control the sob that escapes me. “It’s alright Oli girl. I’ve missed you too, but I’ve been with you every step of the way,” he says.

I pull back and look into his eyes, which look so much like mine. “I’m so sorry, Oli. I was so selfish,” he says. I’m sure I’m looking at him like he has grown another head. “You have nothing to be sorry for, dad.” “Yes, I do.

Just like your mother, there are many things I would do differently, but one thing I would never change was

you and your brother. No matter how much it hurt to lose your mother, you and your brother were my greatest joy in life,” he says.

“I lost sight of that in my grief, but I shouldn’t have. I should have been stronger instead of drowning my

sorrows in a bottle. You and your brother deserved far better,” he says. “It’s not your fault. She left you. She

broke your heart.” “Oli girl, even though your mother caused me pain, it doesn’t excuse what I did. I was

supposed to be strong for you. You needed me and instead of making sure I was there I was making myself

numb,” he says.

“You have to forgive Oli” he says. I go to open my mouth to tell him I have, but he gives me a look I remember

well. “You may have said the words, but your actions show something totally different, Olivia. I want you to

forgive Evelyn and Xavier for you, not them. They have to make their own peace with what happened.”

“How can I forgive them? I know you say it’s your fault, but it’s not. She should have walked away from him. She should have told him she was happy. That she had a family she loved, but instead she threw us away.”

“No Oli, she accepted what was always meant to be hers. Her gift from the goddess. I knew there was a possibility she would find her mate, but I couldn’t walk away from her. I loved Evelyn with my whole heart. Before she felt the pull of the bond, we were happy Oli. I know you remember the good times we had. I’m not asking you to start calling her mom tomorrow, but I’m asking you to talk to her, Oli. Tell her why you are so angry. You deserve to have that conversation just like the goddess said.”

“Why weren’t we enough dad? Why couldn’t she walk away from him?” “I don’t know the answer, Oli. I’ve never known the pull of the mate bond and I don’t know what your mother was feeling when she left me. I was angry too, Oli. I should have had an honest conversation with her instead of letting the pain cloud my judgment. I’m not saying I still wouldn’t have been hurt, but I might have been able to get past the pain had I just listened to what she had to say,” he says.

“What if I can’t dad? What if I can’t get past what she did?” “I told you, Oli. This is for you, not her. Evelyn lives with what she did every day. The guilt and hurt never leaves her, Oli. She is living in a hell of her own making. She needs to forgive herself. She isn’t a bad person. You know that in your heart Oli she just wasn’t as strong as you. As much as Xavier is dull as a post he isn’t a bad person either.” I can’t help but giggle at my dad’s description of Xavier.

“Evelyn is about to bring your sister into the world and that little girl deserves to have both her mother and sister. I’ve held her Oli. She is perfect. Lknow she isn’t my blood, but she is my child because she is your

sister. She is the child I always wanted. I’ll be watching over her too,” he says.

I wrap my arms tighter around him. “As much as I want to hold you forever, Oli girl, it’s time for Amethyst to take you back to Ace” he says. The tears pour down my cheeks again. “I’m so proud of you, Olivia. Proud of your strength and the woman you’ve become. You are selfless and smart. I know you’re sad that I’m here, and you’re there, but I promise I’m with you every day. I watch over you and my heart is full, knowing you are my daughter. Despite mine and your mother’s mistakes, you have become the most amazing young lady. I love

you, Oli,” he says.

“I love you daddy” I say, holding him a little tighter. “Are you ready, mommy,” Amethyst asks. I pull back and look down at my daughter. My dad bends and Amethyst hugs him. “Thank you for bringing her to see me,

Amethyst” he says. “I knew she needed to see you, grandpa,” she says.

My heart squeezes in my chest. Hearing my daughter call him grandpa means everything to me. He kisses her forehead and then mine. “Tell Connor I love him, and I’m proud of him. Remember what I said, Oli girl” he says. “I will dad.” Amethyst slides her little hand in mine, and I’m once again engulfed in light. When I’m able

to open my eyes, we are standing back in our room.

As soon as Ace sees us, he hops off the chair and wraps us both in a hug. “I knew you were both safe, but the irrational part of my brain was still worried,” Ace says and I smile. When he pulls back, I can see the concern in his eyes. “You’ve been crying,” he says. “I have but happy tears. Amethyst took me to the Moon Goddess’s realm. I got to see my dad.” I swear I can’t stop the tears from flowing again and Ace pulls me back into his

arms.

“I’m so happy for you, Olivia. Do you want to talk about what he said,” he asks. Goddess, I love this man. He leads us all over to a sitting area and keeps us both on his lap as I tell him everything that happened while we were gone. A feeling of exhaustion washes over me and I pull Amethyst into my arms. “Thank you sweet girl. I love you so much.” “I love you too, mommy. I’m going to give Della back control. She wants a hug too,”

she says.

The purple of her eyes fades and Della is staring back at me. “I love you sweet pea” I say hugging her close. “I love all three of my girls,” Ace says, kissing both, our foreheads. Once we are all in bed, it doesn’t take long for sleep to take me under. My body and mind completely at peace with the past and present.

Evelyn POV

I don’t know how much longer I can wait to eat and drink. My stomach rumbles and my mouth feels dry. The only consolation to this nightmare is my baby girl is moving all over the place. As I turn on my side, I can feel

Summer stir in my head. She hasn’t really spoken to me since we were taken. I thought maybe that crazy

b**ch had injected me with something to block her.

“Evie, you need to eat and drink. I know you’re worried, but Amethyst said that the witch won’t harm you while Calliope is in your belly,” Summer says. “Who is Amethyst and why is she calling my pup Calliope,” I ask. “She

is the true midnight wolf. She is our daughter’s pup. She is the one that will help to get us out of here. We can

trust her with our lives, Evie.”

A feeling of relief washes over me hearing that my pup isn’t the midnight wolf. I don’t know if Xavier will be

disappointed, but I’m relieved. It’s hard enough to be a wolf without having to carry such a heavy burden from

the time you’re a pup. My heart breaks a little that Della will have to bare that burden. Olivia may not think of

me as her mother anymore, but that little girl is my grandpup. “You have to keep playing along. Cassandra has to believe that Calliope is the midnight wolf, Evie,” Summer says.

“What do you mean, Cassandra? Miranda is the one that took us. Cassandra is the one that said she is a

prisoner.” “They are the same person, Evie. She is lying to us. Miranda is just a shimmer spell. Cassandra has hurt a lot of people trying to take the midnight wolf. You can’t let her know you know Evle. She needs to believe you’ve accepted being stuck here until you deliver our pup,” Summer says.

“I won’t let on I know anything. I just want to go home, Summer. I want to see Xavier, Connor, Becca, Ace, and Olivia. I want to tell them I love them. I want to talk to Olivia. I want her to know I understand why she is

angry, and I’ll accept whatever role I can play in her life. I won’t keep being selfish to ease my own guilt. I just want her to be happy,” I say tears springing to my eyes. This time I let them fall.

I’m not sure how much time passes before the door to my room opens again. Cassandra steps inside with a

tray filled with food and tea. “Evelyn, can you please eat and drink something? Miranda is going to punish me

if you don’t this time. I promise you it’s safe” she pleads. She picks up a sandwich and takes a bite before she

drinks the tea..

After a few seconds, I slide off the bed, making my way over to the small table. I sit down without a word and start to eat. I notice the corner of her mouth rise in triumph. I can’t wait till Olivia knocks that smug smile off
