Chapter 262: A Different Olivia
Lennox’s POV
The heavy doors groaned as they opened, and we stepped into the hall.
There was silence as everyone’s eyes were focused on the people on the stage, and mine followed, almost on instinct. Then I saw her.
Olivia?
Our Olivia?
For a heartbeat, it felt like a dream—some cruel illusion my mind had conjured up to torture me. But she was real. The girl seated on the platform was her.
Her alluring eyes—those eyes I’d memorized—widened the second they found mine.
My breath caught.
My wolf roared in my head, louder than I’d ever heard him before.
"Mate!"
I stumbled slightly, blinking hard.
What?
I glanced at Levi and Louis beside me—they looked just as stunned, frozen in place. Their chests rose and fell rapidly. They felt it too.
"No," I whispered under my breath.
Not because I didn’t want her. Goddess, I wanted her. Even after everything... she still owned every broken piece of me.
But this wasn’t possible.
We’d been rejected.
The bond was gone. Broken. Severed. She’d made sure of it.
So how—?
My heart thudded painfully in my chest as my wolf howled again, clawing to get out, to go to her. To fall at her feet. To beg. To make it right.
But I couldn’t move.
I watched her, watched her mouth part slightly, watched her hands tremble as she stared back at us like we were a curse come to life.
She was scared.
