Chapter 310

Olivia’s POV
The moment I got the mind link from Lennox, I realized they knew. Somehow, they must have been told… either by Lord Frederick himself.
I closed my eyes, my fingers curling against my palms. A part of me wanted to delay, to run, to hide. But there was no running from this. I had to face them.
Without another thought, I teleported. Chapters first released on.net
The cold air of my room was instantly replaced with the warmer, heavier atmosphere of the visitor’s room in the triplets’ pack house. The scent of my mates—earth, pine, rain—wrapped around me immediately, comforting me.
But the moment my eyes landed on them, my stomach tightened.
All three stood there, tense. Levi’s golden eyes still glowed faintly, Louis’s jaw was locked so tight I could almost hear the grind of his teeth, and Lennox… Lennox’s expression was unreadable, but the storm in his gaze told me everything.
Louis was the first to break the silence. “Tell us it’s not true.”
My breath caught. What did he tell you?”
Lennox stepped forward, his presence overwhelming, but it wasn’t dominance that hit me—it was the sheer weight of his emotions. “That Hailee made a deal with him. That you… are supposed to marry him.”
The words stung in my chest even though I already knew them. I bit my lip, unable to look at them.
Levi’s voice was softer but still sharp. “Why didn’t you tell us?”
Because I was scared. Because I thought maybe I could fix it before they found out. Because I didn’t want them looking at me like this—like I was about to be stolen from them.
My voice was barely a whisper. I was going to handle it.”
Louis’s hands curled into fists. “Handle it? Olivia, he gave you a month! That’s not something you ’handle’ alone!”
Lennox’s voice dropped lower, but it carried the weight of his rage. “You’re ours. And there is no deal, no vow, no blood promise that changes that.”
I finally lifted my gaze, meeting his. His eyes burned with such fierce protectiveness it made my heart ache.
“You don’t understand—” I began.
“No,” Lennox cut me off, stepping closer until I could feel his breath. “You don’t understand. We will not let him take you. Not in a month. Not ever.”
My chest tightened, torn between fear and the comfort of their presence. “I’m sorry,” I apologized, my eyes darting to each of them. “I shouldn’t have kept it away from you, but I was scared of how you would react.”
Lennox, who was closer to me, sucked in a deep breath and ran a hand through his hair, but he didn’t say a word. Instead, he moved away from me and sat on the sofa.
I stared at Levi, who had an angry look on his face, but the anger wasn’t directed at me. My eyes landed on Louis, whose attention wasn’t on me but on the floor, like he was thinking of a plan. All three of them looked angry, worried, and confused.
“How are we sure he is saying the truth… why would Great-Grandmother do such a thing?” Louis said in disbelief.
I sucked a deep breath and whispered, “It’s true.”
Their eyes all snapped to me the second the words left my mouth.
“Calvin and my mother have confirmed it, and I also saw the scroll of the vow.”
A heavy silence fell between us. I could feel their fury all over the air.
Louis muttered something under his breath before snapping, “That undead bastard—”
“Louis, control your wolf.” Levi’s voice was low but lethal.
I glanced toward Lennox. He was leaning forward, elbows on his knees, staring at the floor like he was barely holding his wolf back. Finally, he spoke.
“Olivia,” he said, his tone controlled but cold. “You are our mate. Do you understand me? I don’t care what Hailee promised him. I don’t care what bargain was struck. That promise dies with her.”
His eyes lifted to meet mine, burning with intensity. “And if he thinks he can take you from us, he’s already dead.”
My lips trembled.
Levi stepped forward until he was directly in front of me, cutting me off. “We are never going to let you marry him. Never!”
Louis finally looked at me, his expression hard but his voice calm. It seemed he was able to control his wolf. “Don’t worry. We will handle this.”
I nodded, trying my best to believe them even though I was still worried.
Lennox’s voice turned even darker. “And Olivia… you don’t keep things like this from us again. Ever.”
I nodded quickly, feeling guilty. “I promise.”
Lennox stood slowly from the sofa, his gaze locked on me. His face was still tight with anger, but there was something softer behind his eyes now—something that made my chest ache.
Without saying a word, he stepped forward and pulled me into his arms.
The moment his warmth surrounded me, my walls cracked. My cheek pressed against his chest, and I felt his heartbeat—steady, strong, comforting me. His scent wrapped around me like a shield, blocking out the lingering chill Lord Frederick’s name had left on my skin.
His arms tightened, one hand cradling the back of my head. “Don’t worry,” he murmured into my hair, his voice low but fierce. “We’re not going to let anything happen to you. Not now. Not ever.”
I closed my eyes, letting myself sink into that promise, even if the weight of the situation still pressed on me. “I want to believe that,” I whispered against him.
“Then believe it,” Lennox said firmly, pulling back just enough to look me in the eyes. “Because it’s the truth.”
I nodded faintly, swallowing the lump in my throat. But before I could say more, a sudden ripple brushed against my mind. I got a mind link from Calvin.
“Olivia,” his voice echoed sharply in my head. “Mother wants to see you.”
I stiffened in Lennox’s hold. I hadn’t seen or talked to my mother since she woke up. “Is something wrong?”
“She didn’t say. But she sounded… serious.”
The link cut abruptly, leaving me staring over Lennox’s shoulder, my mind suddenly buzzing with unease.
“Olivia?” Lennox’s voice pulled me back. He had felt my body tense. “What is it?”
I slowly stepped back from his embrace, my hands tightening together. “Calvin just mind-linked me. My mother… she wants to see me. I have to go.”
I didn’t wait to get their response before teleporting away.
