Chapter 20: Awake

Lennox's POV

I couldn't believe it. Olivia had thought of ending her life?

Never in my wildest dreams did I expect it to come to this. I never imagined things would escalate to the point where she would want to kill herself.

For a moment, my brothers and I were speechless. The weight of what we had just heard rendered us numb, our bodies frozen as we exchanged stunned glances. The air in the room felt suffocating, thick with disbelief and regret.

"What can we do… please do something," Olivia's mother sobbed in tears.

The healer nodded solemnly, whispering instructions to his assistant, who immediately rushed out of the room.

"What needs to be done?" Levi asked.

The healer turned to us. "I have sent my assistant to get a plant. From it, I can make an antidote."

Silence fell upon the room, save for Olivia's mother, whose cries filled the air.

Where I stood, my heart clenched painfully, my wolf howling in agony. I glanced at my brothers, reading the same worry reflected in their eyes. If Olivia had attempted to poison herself, that meant we had hurt her—deeply. So deeply that she believed death was her only escape.

My eyes settled on her unconscious state, and I swallowed hard as pain racked my entire body. This was a lady I once loved—I would do anything for her. Years ago, I would have laid down my life without thinking about it. That was how much I had loved her. But now, here she was, almost dying just because of the way my brothers and I treated her.

I moved my gaze to Mother and could see the disappointed look on her face as she glared at me. Where I stood, I couldn't move, I couldn't say a word. Just like my brothers, we were all just staring at her, our hearts racing.

"Where is he? Why isn't he here?" Louis demanded impatiently, voicing the same question that had been lingering in my mind.
