Fated To Not Just One, But Three - Chapter 458

Chapter 458: Something Is Wrong
Olivia’s POV

The faint warmth of sunlight brushed against my face, pulling me slowly from the fog of sleep. My eyes fluttered open, blinking against the soft morning light that poured through the tall glass windows. For a moment, everything felt still. Too still. Then it hit me, the emptiness. It wasn’t pain, not exactly. It was something deeper, colder, like a part of me had been quietly stolen while I slept.

My chest felt hollow, my wolf restless beneath my skin, pacing, whining, searching for something that wasn’t there.

“What is wrong?” I whispered.

My wolf didn’t answer, only whimpered faintly. That was when I realized Levi was sitting beside the bed, his head bowed, his hand loosely holding mine.

“Levi?” My voice came out small and cracked.

His head snapped up, relief flashing across his face, but his eyes were heavy, too heavy.

“You’re awake,” he said softly, forcing a small smile.

“Yeah…” I blinked, looking around the room. Everything felt normal, yet wrong. “What happened? I feel strange. Like something’s been taken from me.”

Levi stiffened slightly but quickly covered it with a small shake of his head. “You’ve been through a lot. You just need to rest.”

But I wasn’t convinced. My wolf wasn’t either. Her unease crawled through me like static.

Something’s wrong, she whispered weakly. I can’t feel him.

My breath caught.

“Levi,” I said, my voice trembling, “where’s Lennox? Is he okay?”

He hesitated just for a heartbeat, but I saw it. The flicker in his eyes. The way his hand tightened around mine.

“He’s still resting,” Levi said quietly. “The healers are with him. He’s stable.”

“Stable?” I repeated, sitting up too quickly. The room spun a little, but I didn’t care. “I need to see him.”

“Olivia.”

“I need to see him!” I snapped, my voice breaking. “Please. I can’t feel him anymore, Levi. I can’t—”

I stopped when I saw his expression. He wasn’t angry. He wasn’t annoyed. He just looked broken.

His eyes met mine, and I felt my heart twist painfully. My wolf whimpered again, pressing against the emptiness inside me.

“Why do you look like that?” I whispered. “What aren’t you telling me?”

Levi exhaled shakily, reaching out to touch my cheek, but his hand trembled. “You’re safe now,” he said quietly, avoiding my question. “That’s what matters.”

Safe.

“Safe?” I repeated, my chest tightening. “What do you mean by I’m safe?”

Before Levi could respond, I shoved his hand away and swung my legs off the bed. My head spun, but I didn’t care. I needed to see Lennox. I needed to feel him.

“Olivia, wait!” Levi called out, but I didn’t stop. I ran.

The halls blurred around me as I pushed forward, barefoot, breathless, my heart pounding like it was trying to break free from my chest. Every step I took made the emptiness inside me worse.

Something was wrong. Something had been taken.

“What is wrong?” I whispered desperately, searching for my wolf, but she didn’t answer.

No growl. No whisper. Just silence.

“Please…” My voice cracked. “Say something!”

Nothing.

Tears filled my eyes as I reached Lennox’s room. I pushed the door open so hard it hit the wall. The healers turned sharply, startled. The room smelled of burnt herbs and medicines. And there he was, Lennox, lying on the bed, still pale, still unmoving, but alive.

I stumbled forward, almost falling to my knees beside him. My fingers trembled as I reached for his hand. His skin was warm. His pulse was faint but steady. Relief washed through me, but only for a second.

Because then I felt it. Or rather, I didn’t.

That pull, the invisible thread that always tied us together, the heartbeat inside my soul, it was gone. Completely gone.

My wolf whimpered faintly, confused and lost.

Where is he? She asked weakly. Why can’t I feel him?

I pressed a hand to my chest, panic clawing at me. “No,” I breathed. “No, no, no.”

I turned sharply, my eyes finding Levi and Louis standing by the doorway. My vision blurred with tears, but I could see it in their faces: the guilt, the fear.

“What did you do?” I whispered, my voice trembling.

“Olivia,” Louis started, but I cut him off, my voice rising.

“What did you do?!”

They said nothing. Levi’s jaw tightened, and Louis looked down, unable to meet my eyes.

I took a step closer, my hands shaking. “Why can’t I feel him anymore?” My voice broke. “Where is my bond?!”

Silence.

I felt my knees weaken. My heart pounded so loud it hurt. I turned back to Lennox, brushing my fingers over his face, searching desperately for the spark, the warmth, anything.

But all I felt was emptiness.

The love, the deep human love, was still there, burning painfully in my chest. But the bond, the sacred connection that made us one soul in two bodies, it was gone. Completely severed.

My body trembled as I turned to face them. The bond I shared with Levi and Louis burned faintly beneath my skin, alive, real, pulsing, but when I reached toward Lennox, there was nothing. Not even a spark. Just silence.

My breathing hitched. “I can feel you,” I whispered, my eyes darting between them. “Both of you. Your bonds are still there.” My voice cracked as I looked back at Lennox’s still body. “But him,” my hand pressed against my chest, “I can’t feel him.”

I turned back, my tears blurring everything. “What did you do?”

“Olivia,” Levi started, stepping closer, but I stumbled back.

“No!” I yelled, my voice breaking. “Tell me what you did!”

Louis flinched, his expression torn with guilt. His lips parted, but no words came at first. Then finally, in a shaky whisper, he said, “Please, forgive us.”

My heart sank. “Forgive you?” I repeated, almost laughing, a broken, disbelieving sound. “For what?”

Levi’s jaw tightened. He couldn’t meet my eyes. “We didn’t have a choice.”

“What are you talking about?!” I screamed. “You always have a choice!”
