Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 150: Worried

Levi's POV

My eyes were fixed on the wall clock as the second hand ticked past 7 PM. Right on time.

I emptied the glass of whiskey in my hand, the burn doing nothing to calm the storm raging inside me.

She was in heat now.

Wherever Olivia was—she was burning. My wolf knew it. Felt it. He growled and thrashed inside me, pacing, snarling. He wanted her. Needed her. Not just for the sake of the bond—but to ease her pain.

None of them mattered.

The only scent I wanted—the only one I craved—was Olivia's. That sweet blend of nutmeg and honey that used to make my wolf go still and greedy. I was trying, desperately, to find even the faintest trace of it in the air.

But nothing.

Not even a whisper of her.

"Fucking hell," Lennox muttered, slamming his glass down on the table and standing up. He ran a hand through his hair, pacing the room like a caged animal. "She's out there. Alone. In heat. And we're just here—waiting."

Louis sat on the couch, his eyes glassy with worry, fingers clenching around the stem of his glass. He hadn't said much, but I could feel the storm building inside him. When he finally spoke, his voice cracked.
