Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 309: Something Is Wrong

Lennox’s POV

The moment she stepped out of the bathroom, I knew something was wrong.

Olivia’s smile was small—too small. Forced. And her scent... it carried that faint bitter note she always had when she was trying to hide something.

My eyes stayed on her face, watching the way she avoided my gaze, the way her shoulders were just a little too tense.

"Yes," she answered too quickly.

I took a step closer, my gaze steady on hers. "You yelled in there, Olivia."

Her eyes flicked to me for a split second before sliding away. "It was nothing."

Her heartbeat spiked. I heard it. So did my wolf.

Something happened in there. Something she doesn’t want us to know.

I crossed my arms slowly, letting her know I wasn’t buying her story. "Fine. But whatever it is... it’s written all over your face."

She froze just a second before moving toward the bed, like she didn’t hear me. Levi followed her instantly, helping her sit. Louis moved around and sat on the edge near her feet.
