Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 206: A new Chapter

Olivia POV

"Mother, I’m coming over," I announced through the mind link, hoping to hear excitement in her voice. But she was silent.

I frowned, the awkward silence stretching too long. She was supposed to be happy... I hadn’t seen her in almost two months.

"Mother?" I called again, uncomfortable with her silence.

She finally let out a deep breath before responding, her voice soft but serious.

"Dear... I think you should stay back in the Full Moon Pack."

My frown deepened as I slowly sat on the edge of the bed.

Nora and Lolita, who had been quietly folding clothes, paused and gave me a concerned look. They must have noticed the shift in my mood.

"Why would you suggest that?" I asked, confused. "I thought you’d be happy... I thought you wanted me there."

She sighed again through the link, slower this time.

"There’s... a bit of a rift going on between our pack and the neighboring one. Some tensions, border threats. Nothing too serious yet, but I just worry about your safety, Olivia. Maybe staying in Full Moon is the better choice for now."

Her words felt off. Like she was holding something back.

Still, I didn’t press. I didn’t have the energy to argue or dig deeper.

"Alright," I said softly and ended the mind link.

I sighed deeply and rubbed my temples.

"What happened?" Nora asked gently.

I looked at her and Lolita and forced a tired smile. "She said I shouldn’t come. That there’s some tension going on with the neighboring pack, and she’s worried about my safety."

Lolita frowned. "So... what now? Are you staying?"

I shook my head firmly. "I can’t keep staying here. I feel... suffocated. Like I’m being watched every second. Like I’m trapped."

They both went quiet for a moment before Nora said, "What about Alpha Gabriel?"
