Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 365: The Plan

Olivia’s POV

It was past midnight, and I still couldn’t force myself to sleep. I lay on my bed staring at the ceiling, but my mind wasn’t quiet. I turned to my side and pulled my blanket tighter, but it didn’t help. My chest felt heavy, my thoughts restless. Where was I supposed to start? I knew nothing about Lord Frederick—nothing about his past, his friends, or even his weaknesses. He had lived for three hundred years. That meant his vessel could be anywhere. But where?

Frustration bubbled up inside me. I sat up, rubbing my hands against my face. "But how?" I whispered into the silence. "How do I even begin?"

My mind raced as I thought of him. A man like that—no, a monster like that—wouldn’t entrust his vessel to just anyone. It would be somewhere close. Somewhere personal.

The thought made my chest tighten. That meant I would have to get closer to him. I would have to study him, watch him, maybe even act to be with him. The very idea made my skin crawl.

I pushed to my feet, pacing the room. "No matter what," I muttered, "I’ll find it."

I stopped pacing, my breaths heavy. This wasn’t something I could keep to myself. The triplets had to know. Whatever danger I was walking into, they deserved the truth.

Closing my eyes, I let my power surge. In the blink of an eye, I teleported.

When I opened them again, I was standing inside Lennox’s room. He was at the edge of his bed, pulling the blanket back. His head snapped toward me, his eyes widening for a second before softening.
