Chapter 80: Clothes

Olivia's POV

"I need a glass of water, please," I said to Nora, who walked in after Lennox left.

"Alright." She bowed and left.

My brows pulled together immediately. "What?"

"She collapsed in her chambers. The healer is with her now—and the Alphas too. They rushed to her the moment they heard."

Lolita nodded. "Yes. They've been in her chambers for a while now."
