Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 374: Sharing a room

Olivia’s POV

Aggressively, he let go of me and turned his back on me. My throat still burned from his grip, but I stood frozen, staring at him. His shoulders rose and fell sharply, his breath ragged, heavy—like I had torn something open inside him. His back was turned, but I didn’t need to see his face to know my words had struck deep. He wasn’t smirking anymore. He wasn’t taunting me. He was... hurting.

My wolf shifted uneasily inside me. "He loves her."

The truth hit me like a bucket of cold water. The way his chest moved up and down, the way his hands opened and closed—it wasn’t just anger. It was sadness. A sadness so deep it had cut into him for years, and now it leaked out through the cracks in the mask he always wore.

Hailee.

Just her name, spoken aloud, was enough to unravel him. And in that moment, I realized something. This man—this monster—was in love with her. Not a passing desire, not a fleeting hunger. He loved her. Obvious, painful, desperate love.

And suddenly... I was eager to know more.

What had really happened between them? Had he ever told her how he felt? Or had he stayed silent, letting her slip away into another man’s arms? Did she reject him, choosing her husband instead? Was that why he carried this shadow in his heart, this bitterness?

The questions suffocated me; they made me restless and insistent.

I found myself wanting to know their story because it was clear. Hailee was more than just a memory to him. She was his wound, his obsession... his weakness.

And maybe, just maybe, if I could uncover the truth of what happened between them, I could find the key to defeating him.

"Olivia." His voice was sharp, pulling me back. He was still not facing me. "For your own good, never say her name again."

Then he walked away, leaving me standing there with a thousand questions burning inside me.

I drew in a shaky breath and opened the mind link. "Lennox? Levi? Louis?"
