Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 184

Chapter 184: Stepping Up

Lennox's POV

The color of Damien's eyes darkened and in the blink of an eye, he made his way toward me. But shockingly, Olivia moved past him and stood between us—stopping Damien from attacking me.

Of all the things I expected… that wasn't one of them. She stood between us, her arms outstretched, facing a furious Alpha. My heart skipped. She still cared, even if she didn't want to admit it. For a fleeting second, pride flared in my chest.

"Step away!" Damien growled, already losing his temper.

I wasn't surprised. What I said was more than enough to make him furious. There are only two things that can really set Uncle Damien off. One is someone hurting Sofia—he'd tear them apart without a second thought. And the second is exactly what I just did: reminding him that someone took her from him.

Olivia shook her head, not moving.

"No," she said firmly, staring up at him. "I won't step away, Alpha Damien."

His jaw clenched harder. His fists curled at his sides.

"This is between me and him," Damien said through gritted teeth.

"No," Olivia said again. "You two are family. Whether you like it or not, you are both tied to each other now. And you're standing in my room—fighting. Like enemies."

Damien's nostrils flared. He glanced around, as if only now realizing where we were.

"I won't let you tear each other up in my presence," Olivia said firmly. "And definitely not in my room."

For a long moment, no one spoke. The tension was thick, so heavy.

Then Damien turned his eyes on me.

His voice was low and filled with rage. "You do not want to keep testing me, Lennox."

I didn't answer.

"I swear on the full moon," Damien continued, "if you strike my nerve again, the Full Moon Pack will be left with only two Alphas. Because you… will be dead."

My wolf growled at the threat, loud and deep, rising from inside me. I didn't care if he was my uncle. He crossed the line.

But before I could say anything, Damien turned around and stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind him.

Silence fell again.

Olivia slowly lowered her arms, her shoulders tense.

I stared at her—at the woman who just stopped Alpha Damien from tearing into me.
