Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 386

Chapter 386: The Plan

Levi’s POV

"She can’t leave. We need Selene. But I agree—Olivia won’t stand for her unless she understands why Selene’s here. So... we tell her. Not everything, not the full plan—but enough."

I frowned. "Enough to calm her? Or enough to get her to trust Selene?"

"Both," Lennox answered. He moved away from the window, his expression carved in stone. "Olivia’s smart. If we feed her lies, she’ll know. If we hide too much, she’ll tear us apart for keeping secrets. But if we give her a piece of the truth—a controlled piece—she’ll at least understand why Selene has to stay."

My wolf rumbled inside me. I didn’t like it. Not one damn bit. "And what happens when she realizes we didn’t tell her everything? What happens when she learns how dangerous this really is?"

Lennox’s jaw tightened. "Then we’ll deal with it when it comes. For now, we give her just enough to keep her close. We can’t afford to lose her over this, Levi."

Louis exhaled slowly, dragging a hand over his face. "So we play carefully. We choose our words. We let her think she knows the whole plan, when in truth... she only has the surface."

I ground my teeth, but deep down I knew Lennox was right. Olivia would never accept Selene without some kind of explanation. And if controlled transparency was the only way to keep her from getting angry... then maybe that was the risk we had to take.

Still, I wasn’t at rest. "If we do this, then we make sure it’s tight. No cracks. No slips. Olivia is smart."

Lennox nodded once. "Agreed. When Olivia returns... we’ll give her the truth. But only the part of it she needs."

I sighed. "I should mind-link her to come," I suggested, and Louis and Lennox both agreed.

Drawing in a deep breath, I reached for her through the bond. At first, she ignored me, but after pushing harder she finally answered, her tone sharp and annoyed.
