Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 278: Where Were You Last Night

Olivia’s POV

"Are you okay?" Nora asked, her curious gaze meeting mine through the mirror as she helped me tie my hair into a bun.

I swallowed hard and sighed. "I had a dream."

Lolita, who was straightening the sheets on my bed, looked up. "A nightmare?"

I scoffed and shook my head. "It wasn’t. In fact, it was the best dream of my life," I admitted with a blush.

Nora smirked and winked at me through the mirror. "So why don’t you look happy?"

I frowned. What is there to be happy about? It was just a dream... but Goddess, I wished it was real.

My wolf growled approvingly in my head, and I rolled my eyes at her. Horny bitch, I muttered silently.

Just then, a knock landed on the door.

"Breakfast is served, my lady," a maid called from outside.

I turned to Nora and Lolita. "Come with me. I want to introduce you to my brother."

They looked at each other nervously.

"You think he’ll accept us?" Lolita asked, acting nervous.

I smiled and shook my head. "Don’t worry. Just be yourselves."

This morning, I was dressed casually in jeans and a simple top. I wasn’t Luna anymore—no need for formal gowns.

We made our way to the dining room, and there sat Calvin, already at the table, halfway through his meal.

The moment we stepped in, his eyes shifted toward us... then landed on Nora.

I noticed it instantly—the way his gaze lingered on her. It was intense and unreadable.

I cleared my throat. "Brother," I said, walking up to him, "these are my friends, Nora and Lolita. I’d like them to stay here with me."

For a moment, he said nothing. He just kept staring at Nora. Not even blinking. I turned slightly to glance at her and noticed her fingers were clenched nervously at her side, her eyes lowered to the ground. She was panicking.

But then I looked back at Calvin... and what I saw surprised me.

There was no hate in his eyes.
