Chapter 99: Miss Her

Lennox's POV

The moment Olivia stepped into the bathroom, the room fell into a heavy silence. Louis stood rigidly by the bed, Levi looked like he was forcing himself not to move, and I—well, I couldn't stop staring at the door she'd just vanished behind.

My wolf was restless. My heart was worse.

She stood in front of us, arms crossed again, but not as tightly this time. She raised a brow. "Well?"

"You look…" I cleared my throat, unable to stop myself from stepping forward. "You look perfect."

She rolled her eyes, but I saw the pink rising on her cheeks.

Louis opened his mouth like he wanted to say something, then just gave a slow nod, his eyes still locked on her.

Then I spotted the last piece we hadn't given her yet—the diamond necklace, resting on top of the box. I picked it up carefully and walked over to her.
