Chapter 133: Ball

Chapter 133: Ball

Olivia's POV

I was restless. No, I was terrified. I had just two days… two fucking days until the full moon, and then I would go into heat. I knew it was a risk—going into heat in this room, with the triplets so close. I wished I could lie to myself, convince myself I'd be able to control my sexual urges. But that would be a lie. This was my first heat, and with their marks on me, there was no way I wouldn't crave their touch. No way I wouldn't want them.

I needed to leave. Gabriel had to come up with a plan to get me out of here by tomorrow. There had to be something—anything—that could be done. It was better I went into heat at Gabriel's home than…

"What are you even saying?" my wolf snapped, interrupting my thoughts.

"Better to go into heat at Gabriel's home? Are you saying you want Gabriel to touch you? That it's better?" Her voice was sharp, accusing.

"No one is touching me," I hissed back. "But going into heat at Gabriel's home is safer. At least there, I could resist him—or any male. But with the triplets? No. I definitely wouldn't be able to resist them."

Suddenly, A knock landed on my door, and from the scent, I knew it was Lennox. I frowned and stood up slowly, walking to the door. These days, I had mastered the habit of locking it.

Unlocking the door, I pushed it open and met Lennox standing before me.

His scent hit me and I fought the urge to breathe him in. Damn, he smelled good. The full moon was making everything worse. I was too sensitive, too aware. Their scent alone was enough to arouse me. And their eyes… when they looked at me like they cherished me, it sent tremors down to my core.

Straightening up, I hid my discomfort. "Is there a problem, Alpha Lennox?"

"I got you something," he said, lifting a sleek black box in his hand.

I blinked. "For me?"

He nodded, then handed it over without a word. I took it cautiously and opened it right there at the door.

Inside was a stunning red dress. Elegant, expensive, and definitely not casual.

"I thought you might like to wear that," Lennox said gently, rubbing the back of his neck. "There's a ball night. Alpha Callum from the next pack sent an invitation… and I have to go. I thought maybe… you'd like to come with me."

My heart jumped and then immediately dropped.

"I—no," I said quickly, clutching the box tighter. "No, I'm sorry. I can't. I'm another man's wife, remember?"

His jaw clenched slightly, and he frowned. "It's just a ball."

I shook my head. "You should take Anita. She is your mistress."

Lennox didn't reply for a moment. His eyes stayed locked on mine, calm but unreadable. Finally, he said softly, "Anita's not who I want beside me."

That made something tighten in my chest. There was a time I would pay anything in this world just to hear him say that—but not anymore.

I looked away, blinking hard. "I can't, Alpha Lennox. I'm sorry."
