Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 384: Her Words

Lennox’s POV

I felt it. She was uneasy. No, more than uneasy. She didn’t like Selene here. She didn’t like her presence. The bond made it possible to feel her emotions, and I understood. If the roles were reversed, if I stood watching her hug another man, I’d be furious too. And goodness, I wish I could turn around right now, look Selene in the eye, and tell her, "You know what? You can’t stay. Leave." But I couldn’t. Because Selene wasn’t just anyone. She was family. And more importantly—she was here for a reason. A reason Olivia didn’t know yet. She was here to help us fight Frederick.

"Lennox." Louis’s voice pulled me from my thoughts. He didn’t take his eyes off Olivia, who was trying her best to conceal her emotions. "I feel it. Olivia isn’t happy about her."

"Yeah," I admitted, my chest tightening. "I can feel her emotions. She doesn’t want Selene here."

Louis sighed, his jaw tightening. "And we can’t even explain it to her. Not yet."

"Not yet." I sighed.

"So will I be staying?" Selene asked, sounding excited. This was her first visit here, and she seemed so excited about it.

"I’ll show you," Louis offered and began leading the way while Selene slipped her hand around his arm.

It was harmless. Family often did things like that. But the way Olivia’s frown deepened told me she didn’t see it that way. Her emotions spiked so hard through the bond it nearly made me wince. Her frown deepened, her lips pressed into a thin line, and her wolf bristled just under her skin. She tried to mask it, tried to stand unaffected like nothing was wrong—but I felt it all. Every ounce of her discomfort slammed into me through the bond, sharp and heavy. And goodness, it hurt.

My wolf was already halfway there, howling to defend Olivia. But then the other truth sank in, heavy and suffocating—Selene wasn’t just a guest. She was family.
