Chapter 205: Leaving

Olivia’s POV

"I’m leaving," I announced.

A heavy silence fell over the room. I studied their faces—confused, scared, and full of pain.

Levi, who looked weak and drained, took a shaky step toward me and reached out, but I moved away quickly and frowned.

My heart ached. My wolf was silent, but I could still feel it—that deep love and care I had for them. It hadn’t gone away, even if we were no longer mates. I wasn’t surprised. I had loved them long before we were bonded.

"Is there anything we could do to make you change your mind?" Levi asked softly.

I stared at him coldly. "Absolutely nothing."

The three of them exchanged glances before looking back at me. The pain in their eyes was so raw, I had to turn away to stop myself from softening.

"Where are you going?" Lennox asked finally.

For a second, I was stunned. I expected them to argue, to beg—to protest—but they didn’t. Just like with the council, they gave up too easily.

Why? Why did they always let go so quickly?

"At least please let us know where you’re going," Louis added. "So our hearts can rest a little."

I looked away. The truth was... I didn’t know. I only knew I couldn’t stay.

"I have no idea," I said honestly.

I saw their panic grow.

"No, Olivia... at least know where you’re headed," Lennox said quickly, his voice tight with concern.

I sighed and shrugged. "I’m going to my mother’s pack. She’s there."

They all let out a breath, clearly relieved, and nodded slowly.

Lennox reached into his pocket and pulled something out. He walked closer and held it in front of me.

It was a bracelet—simple, but clearly crafted with care. A red gem shined at its center.

"We had a feeling this might happen," he said quietly. "That you might reject us... that you’d want to leave."
