Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 24: Seeing Her Wolf

Chapter 24: Seeing Her Wolf

Louis' POV

I ran.

My feet pounded against the marble floors as I sprinted through the halls, then down the steps and out the castle doors. The night air hit me, cool and crisp, but my body was burning with fear. I shifted mid-run, my clothes tearing as my wolf took over, massive paws hitting the earth with force.

She was out here. Alone.

The woods stretched before me, dark and quiet, but I could scent her—her familiar, intoxicating scent mixed with the fresh earth and night air. My wolf pushed harder, faster, weaving through the trees as I followed her trail.

And then I saw her.

She stood in the middle of a clearing, the moonlight casting a glow on her. She wasn't shifting. She was just standing there, staring up at the sky.

Something about the way she stood—the stillness, the quiet surrender—made my wolf snarl in warning.

I shifted back into my human form before stepping forward, my breathing heavy from the run. "Olivia, what are you doing here?"

Olivia tilted her head slightly, an annoyed look tugging at the corners of her lips. "I could ask you the same thing. Why are you following me?"

"I don't trust you out here alone," I replied bluntly, my eyes scanning the woods around us. I was scared, so fucking scared that she might try to hurt herself here.

She scoffed, folding her arms. "You don't need to worry about me, Alpha Louis. I can take care of myself."

Before I could respond, she turned and started walking away.

"Olivia," I called after her.

She paused but didn't look back. "Go back to the mansion, Louis. I just want to shift," she grumbled and continued walking away.

But I didn't listen. I kept following her until she stopped and turned back to me, her face etched in a frown.

"Is there a problem, Alpha Louis?" she asked, her arms crossed.
