Chapter 77: Doing what she wants

Louis' POV

I was in big shit, in a big dilemma.

As I stormed out of Olivia's room, I knew I had to do what she asked. If I didn't, she'd expose me to my brothers. They'd find out something happened between us. I could already picture the disappointment in their eyes when they discovered that instead of going to Anita while I was drugged, I went to Olivia—the woman we all claimed to hate.

"You shouldn't be ashamed of it," my wolf murmured. "She's your mate… your wife," he added.

I frowned at his words. He wasn't helping the situation.

Taking a deep breath, I walked into the study where my brothers were seated. As I entered, I saw Levi lazily sipping a glass of wine. Unlike Lennox and me, he wasn't taking the whole situation about Olivia having a lover seriously. He seemed a little too nonchalant, and it annoyed the hell out of me. My gaze shifted to Lennox, who stood by the window, a deep frown etched into his face. He looked lost in thought—probably trying to figure out the identity of Olivia's so-called lover.

I paused at the door, composing myself for what I was about to say. After gathering enough courage, I spoke.

"I'm setting Olivia free," I announced.

Instantly, my brothers' eyes snapped to me, but I didn't flinch—I pushed forward.

"We can't keep her locked in. It's not right."

I agree," Levi said smoothly, leaning back into the plush chair like he'd been waiting for me to say it. "We've dragged this out too long. Let her out, see how she acts. If there really is someone else, she'll slip up eventually trying to meet with him. Then we'll catch them both."

I blinked, stunned for a second. That was… too easy. No argument? No disapproval? Just calm acceptance?

"What—you're not going to argue?" I asked slowly, eyes narrowing.

Levi shrugged. "I said what I said. Keeping her grounded will not help us find her lover." His voice was relaxed, but something about the way he spoke didn't sit right with me. Since when did Levi not push back? Not question?
