Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 214: Can’t Leave

Olivia’s POV

I sat anxiously on my bed, my mind racing with thoughts of how to tell Gabriel that I would be leaving tomorrow. Ever since my encounter with him last night, I hadn’t been able to sleep. I felt like I was suffocating... like if I dared to close my eyes, someone would attack me. That was how terrified and panicked I had become. I couldn’t explain it, but these dark, dreadful thoughts wouldn’t leave my mind.

"Pack your things and leave... you don’t have to inform him first," my wolf urged.

Agreeing with her, I stood to my feet, ready to pack my few belongings. But then a knock came at my door, and my heart leapt into my throat. I caught the scent instantly and knew it was Gabriel. Strange... when had I started panicking at his presence?

He knocked again, and I swallowed hard, forcing my mouth to open.

"Come in," I whispered, my voice trembling. "The door’s open."

The door pushed open and Gabriel stepped in, holding a massive bouquet of red roses in one hand and two elegantly wrapped gift boxes in the other. He looked calm, like nothing really happened last night.

"I came to apologize," he said gently, closing the door behind him. "For the way I spoke to you yesterday... I was angry. But I had no right to take it out on you."

I stared at him, my lips pressed tightly together. I was supposed to feel something... gratitude, forgiveness... but I felt nothing. Just a cold, suffocating feeling that wouldn’t lift.

He moved a little closer, holding out the roses. "These are for you."

I didn’t reach for them. I didn’t even move.

"I need to leave," I said quietly.
