Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 348

Chapter 348: In my Arms

Louis’s POV

"So, you’re really with Olivia," Lennox said. His tone caught me off guard. It wasn’t sharp, not the furious edge I had prepared myself for. Instead, it was calm, almost resigned.

I had braced for his anger—for him to lash out, accuse me of lying, of sneaking behind their backs while everything else was falling apart. But instead, all I heard was the faint sigh that slipped through the link.

"You should have just said it," he muttered.

I exhaled, rubbing a hand over my face. "I didn’t want things to get awkward."

Lennox scoffed lightly, not angrily —just matter-of-fact. "Come on, Louis. She’s also your mate. That doesn’t matter. Not to me."

His words hit me in a way I hadn’t expected. I sank deeper against the bedframe, glancing down at Olivia sleeping soundly against my chest. The knot in my stomach loosened just a little.

"So... what now?" I asked after a moment, uncertain.

"Don’t worry," Lennox said, his tone collected, the edge of command slipping in the way it always did when he took charge. "Just stay with Olivia. At least she needs one of us right now. I’ll tell Calvin she went on a trip with you. He’ll back off if he thinks she’s safe."

I nodded instinctively, even though he couldn’t see me. "Okay."

That was Lennox—always quick to find a solution, even in the messiest situations. He didn’t dwell, didn’t overcomplicate. While Levi would’ve pressed me with a hundred questions, Lennox had already decided the path forward. That quality of his—steady, decisive—was something I had always admired, even if I never admitted it to his face.

I glanced down at Olivia again, brushing a strand of hair from her face. She shifted slightly, sighing softly in her sleep, her arms curling tighter around me as though she knew, deep down, she was safe.

"Tell me if anything goes wrong," I said to Lennox.

"Don’t worry... just have fun." With that, Lennox ended the mind link.

I inhaled deeply, pressing a kiss to Olivia’s head. She was still fast asleep. It seemed our play last night had drained every bit of strength from her.
