Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 163: Speaking With Gabriel

Olivia’s POV

The moment Nora and Lolita stepped into my room, they both hugged me tightly. They seemed so relieved... so happy to have me back. I smiled and held them back. I had missed them... I thought I would never get to see them again. These two were like the only genuine friends I had, and I cherished them.

"I hope that snake’s been thrown into the dungeon... she should be beheaded for what she did," Nora spat the moment I told them Anita was the one who got me kidnapped.

I smiled bitterly and shook my head as I sank onto the bed. "Unfortunately, she’ll be going scot-free," I said, and both Lolita and Nora widened their eyes.

"Why?!" they both exclaimed in anger.

I swallowed hard as I remembered what Anita said... about still being pregnant for the triplets. I knew there was no way they would punish her with their pups growing inside her.

"She’s still pregnant," I revealed. Just saying the words hurt, but I pushed down the pain. They don’t deserve to cause me any more pain. I have to stop letting them hurt me. I have to forget that I ever loved those men. What should be my main focus now is proving my father’s innocence.

A big frown spread across Lolita’s face. "How could that be possible? She said she lost the pregnancy!" she spat in anger.

I sighed and shrugged. "I don’t care. They can do whatever they want, but I will do whatever I want," I said with a sigh and began taking off my shoes so I could take a bath and rest my head.

Lolita spoke up. "Alpha Gabriel has been calling non-stop, checking if you’ve been found. He’s been so worried since you went missing."

I smiled weakly. That was sweet of him—to actually worry about me. I wished I could mind-link with him, but since we weren’t from the same pack, I couldn’t.

I turned to Lolita. "Can I please use your phone?"

She nodded instantly. "Yes, of course, my queen," she said and went for the phone in the pocket of her apron.

I smiled at her and said, "You don’t have to call me ’my queen.’ We’re friends. You two should address me as Olivia."

Lolita smiled warmly as she handed me the phone. "Alright then, Olivia," she said with a small bow of her head, though I could still see the respect in her eyes.

I took the phone and dialed Gabriel’s number with shaky fingers. My heart was beating a little faster—maybe from nervousness or maybe from the tension that always comes whenever I speak to him.

He picked up almost immediately.

"Good day, Alpha Gabriel."
