Chapter 232: Another Deal

Olivia POV

Inside the room I would be sharing with Alpha Damien, I went over and sat on the couch. My heart hadn’t stopped racing since I saw them. Lennox. Levi. Louis.

It took everything in me not to run into their arms, to scream that it was me—that I wasn’t dead. That their Olivia was standing right in front of them. That I was here.

Alive.

But I didn’t.

Maybe I was a coward.

Maybe I was just... too scared.

They looked broken. Shattered. The weight of my supposed death was clearly taking a toll on them, and it crushed me.

Across the room, Alpha Damien walked in and sat on the bed directly in front of me. I could feel his eyes on me, but I didn’t look at him. I didn’t want to. I hated this man—hated him with every ounce of breath I had left.

And God help me, if someone handed me a knife right now, I wouldn’t hesitate to drive it straight into his chest.

"Impressive," he said casually. "What you did down there. Keep it up. We’ll be leaving soon."

I finally looked up at him, my eyes cold, blank—but full of hate.

He frowned. "Why are you acting like I’m the devil?" he muttered, clearly annoyed. "I practically saved your life. If it weren’t for me, your head would’ve been rolling on the floor."

I met his eyes without flinching. "You didn’t save my life, Damien," I said, voice steady. "You just gave me another kind of death."

His face darkened.

I expected him to lash out, but instead, he simply got to his feet and turned away, walking out without a single word.

The door clicked shut behind him, leaving me alone.

And finally—I exhaled.

I clutched at my chest, the ache inside me growing deeper with each passing second. What was I doing? What was I still waiting for?
