Chapter 252: Who Is He

Olivia’s POV

He walked slowly to the chair across from me and sat, leaning back. His gaze never left mine. There was something different in his eyes now. Confusion. Maybe a little curiosity.

He studied me like I was some puzzle that didn’t fit his plan.

"You keep talking like you know something I don’t," he muttered finally. "What deal? What truth?"

I didn’t answer. I just stared at him, silently. Because even though I had nothing left... I still had my secrets. And if this was going to be the end, I’d choose how it finished.

His jaw tensed when I didn’t respond, and he leaned forward a little, his voice dropping. "You made mention of the triplets... do you mean Lennox, Levi, and Louis? Alphas of The full moon pack."

My throat tightened. I swallowed hard. He knew. He knew exactly who I meant. Still, I said nothing.

"You’re Damien’s wife," he said slowly, studying my every twitch, every breath. "So what did you mean by he should tell them the truth someday? What truth?"

I held his stare, but I didn’t open my mouth. Because I remembered what Damien told me once. That it was better if Olivia stayed dead... because there were people who would kill her if they ever learned she was alive.

I didn’t trust Damien. But in that moment... I believed him.

I thought of the woman in my dream. The one who told me I had escaped my first death. Maybe it was better to let Olivia stay dead.

So I finally spoke—but only what I chose to say.

"Alpha Damien isn’t stepping down," I said clearly. "You picked the wrong person."

His eyes narrowed. I tilted my chin. "He married me as a campaign. That’s all. He doesn’t love me. Everything he did... everything he said... was just an act."

I gave him a bitter smile. "And you believed it. You fell for it."
