Chapter 319

Chapter 319: What Happened

Lennox’s POV

The sting of her slap was nothing compared to the anger blazing in her eyes

I stayed still, trying to control my breath, my heart pounding louder than I expected. Slowly, I turned my face back to her, her palm print still burning on my cheek.

She stood there, chest heaving, eyes glossy with unshed tears and fury.

"What the hell was that for?" I asked, my voice low but firm. "Because I stayed out?"

She let out a short, bitter laugh. "You really think I’m that stupid?"

"What are you talking about?" I narrowed my eyes, trying to understand where this was coming from.

"I know you were with a woman last night, Lennox," she spat, her voice shaking. "I felt it."

My breath caught.

Louis and Levi stiffened behind her. I could feel Levi already stepping forward, like he wanted to step in.

"Olivia, don’t—" Levi started gently.

But she raised a hand, silencing him without even looking.

"No, let me talk," she said, her voice sharp. "Don’t protect him."

Her gaze snapped back to me. "When I mind-linked you, I felt your pulse... your breath... and the presence of a woman so close to you," she spat.

My frown deepened. I hadn’t touched anyone. Not last night. Not ever since I claimed her.

But I didn’t speak fast enough.

I just stared at her with nothing but pain... it was heartbreaking that up until now she didn’t trust me.
