Chapter 274: Tricked

Olivia’s POV

"My lady... your guests are here," one of the maids announced softly.

Excited, I jumped to my feet and hurried downstairs.

They’re already here?

It hadn’t even been three hours since I contacted Lennox... How did they arrive so fast? My heart raced as I reached the living room.

There they were.

Nora and Lolita.

The moment their eyes landed on me, they both rushed forward, and I met them halfway. We collided in a tight hug, the kind that squeezed the breath out of you, but in the best way.

"I missed you so much," I whispered, my voice cracking.

Nora let out a shaky laugh. "We missed you more, my lady."

Lolita sniffled, clinging to my arm. "It hasn’t been the same without you. The whole place felt empty."

I pulled back a little to look at their faces. Their eyes were wet with tears, but they were smiling. Just seeing them, just having them here, made something heavy inside me lift.

"Come," I said, still smiling. "Let’s go to my room. You have to tell me everything."

They nodded eagerly, and the three of us walked upstairs like old times, their presence wrapping around me like a warm blanket.

We reached my room, and the moment the door shut behind us, all the weight I’d been carrying seemed to ease. Nora and Lolita looked around with wide eyes, taking in the space.

"Wow," Nora said, spinning slowly. "This room is huge."

"It’s beautiful," Lolita added, trailing her fingers along the edge of the dresser.

I gave a small smile and nodded. We all sat on the bed, like we used to back at the mansion. For a moment, none of us spoke. Then, Nora reached over and took my hand.

"Are you okay?" she asked gently.

I hesitated, but then I nodded. "I’m surviving."

Lolita gave me a look. "Surviving is not the same as living."

I sighed, hugging my knees. "I know. But it’s hard. Everyone looks at me like I’m this... powerful girl who’s supposed to fix everything. But I feel so lost. I miss you both. I miss home. Even with Calvin being kind, I still feel like I’m surrounded by strangers."

They both leaned in, wrapping their arms around me. I melted into their embrace.

"You’re not alone anymore," Nora whispered.

"Not ever again," Lolita added.

We sat there for a while, just holding each other in silence.

Then Nora pulled back and smiled through her tears. "We got some news to share."

I looked up at them, eager to know.

Lolita and Nora exchanged a look, then turned back to me.

"Anita lost the remaining pregnancy."

My eyes widened. Nora nodded.

"Yes... and also she is banished from the pack... the Alphas found out what she and her father did."
