Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 166: Turn Back Time

Olivia’s POV

Lennox had this pitiful look on his face—one that might have softened me once. But now? Now it only made my anger boil hotter.

"Olivia... can we talk?" he asked quietly, taking a small step closer.

I nodded, arms folded. "Go ahead. I’m listening."

He opened his mouth, then shut it again. His lips pressed into a tight line, like he didn’t know how to begin. That was strange—Lennox was never the type to struggle with words. If anything, he always knew just what to say.

"Alpha Lennox," I said, my voice harsh, "if you have nothing to say, I’ll be on my way."

I turned to leave, but his hand shot out, grabbing my wrist.

I froze. The touch sent a shiver through me, not from affection—but from everything that had happened. I took a deep breath, turned slowly, and yanked my hand free.

"Don’t touch me," I said quietly, but firmly.

"Olivia..." Lennox stepped back a little, guilt heavy in his voice. "I know... I know what we did can’t be undone. My brothers and I... we don’t deserve your forgiveness. Not now. Maybe not ever. But please... just give us a chance. A chance to fix what we broke."

He paused, his voice cracking a little.

"We’re not asking you to forget. You can hate us. You can be angry. But just let us try. Let us make it up to you—whatever it takes, however long it takes."

My heart thudded in my chest. I didn’t reply. I just stared at him, waiting. He wasn’t done.

"We’ve reported Damien to the Council of Werewolves," he continued, more firmly now. "The first hearing is next week."

That caught my attention.

My brows pulled together. "Why?"

"Because he’s overstepped," Lennox said, his jaw clenched. "He knows you’re mated to us. He’s our uncle, and he crossed a line. We had to act. The Council agreed to hear it."

I folded my arms again. "And what does this have to do with me?"

He looked down for a second, then back up at me.

"They’re going to give you a choice," he said quietly. "At the hearing, they’ll ask if you want to stay with us or reject the bond completely. You’ll be free to choose."

The words hit me hard.

"And I believe you already know what I would choose."

Lennox’s eyes widened with fear. "Olivia... please don’t."

He took another step closer, voice trembling slightly now.

"Please choose us. Please choose to stay. We’ll prove to you that we can be better. That we will be better. We’ll spend the rest of our lives making it up to you if that’s what it takes. Just give us the chance. That’s all we’re asking for."

A bitter laugh escaped my lips as I stared Lennox right in the face. "You want a chance?"

He nodded, desperation in his eyes. "Yes, Olivia. Please. We know we were wrong. But those letters... they broke us. They turned us into people we weren’t. Olivia, you know the truth. Think about the past. You know we loved you. We cherished you. You were our life. And getting those letters—thinking they came from you—it destroyed us. It changed everything."

His voice cracked with emotion, but I just stared, my expression unreadable.

"Do you even realize how badly you three hurt me?" I asked, my voice low, trembling with restrained rage. "Do you even know what you three did to me?"

"Yes," he whispered, pain flickering in his eyes. "I know. I do. And we’re sorry. So sorry."
