Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 223: Missing

Lennox’s POV

I checked the time again—5:00 AM. I couldn’t take it anymore. The weight on my chest was suffocating, and the restlessness clawing at my insides had reached its limit. I stormed out of my room, crossed the hallway, and knocked hard on Levi’s door.

No answer.

I didn’t wait. I turned and knocked on Louis’s door next.

Both doors creaked open almost at the same time. Levi had dark circles under his eyes, and Louis looked like he hadn’t even tried to sleep. But they were already dressed, like me.

I didn’t waste time. "I can’t wait any longer... Let’s go."

I didn’t give them the chance to speak. I turned and walked off.

They followed without a word. They didn’t have to ask where we were going.

We knew.

The Seer.

If anyone could tell us what the hell was going on with Olivia... it was her.

We got into the car. Levi drove, his knuckles white on the steering wheel. Louis sat silently in the back, bouncing his leg the way he always did when he was anxious.

None of us spoke during the ride.

The silence was loud—filled with the questions we were too afraid to voice.

What if something’s happened to her?

What if she’s really...

I shook my head. No. No, she wasn’t.

She couldn’t be.

The moment we pulled up to the Seer’s cottage tucked deep in the woods, my heart began to pound harder. The place was always unsettling, but right now... it felt dead quiet.

Too quiet.

We rushed to the door.

I knocked once. Then again—harder.

Nothing.

I rattled the handle. Locked.

Levi moved to the side window and peeked in. "She’s not home," he muttered, his voice tight with frustration.

Louis checked around the back, came back shaking his head. "No sign of her anywhere."

My chest clenched.

Why wasn’t she here?

Why now?

Something was wrong. We could all feel it.

I stepped back, looking at the closed door like it was mocking us.

"Where the hell is she?" I muttered under my breath.

Levi groaned and kicked dirt from the grass. I paced around, scared and worried. "I can’t take it... I’m going to the Forest Pack... I need to see her," Louis spat as he stormed to the car.

I exchanged glances with Levi but didn’t say a word. As much as I wanted to respect Olivia’s decision of not wanting to see us, I just wanted to be sure she was okay.

"I’m going too," I said and followed Louis while Levi did the same.

We got back into the car, and this time Louis drove as we began our journey to the Forest Pack, which was probably an hour’s drive.
