Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 416: Dream

Levi’s POV

The moment Olivia slammed the link shut, I felt it — an unbearable pain. I tried again, pushing gently against the bond, but nothing came back. She had blocked me — blocked us.

My chest tightened, but I forced myself to breathe. Unlike Lennox, who paced the study like a caged wolf, and Louis, whose fists were clenched so hard his knuckles had gone pale, I sat still. Calm on the outside, but inside I was worried.

"Damn it, Levi!" Lennox snapped, his voice sharp. "She cut us off again. You felt it, right? She’s not listening."

I nodded once. "I felt it." My voice was even, steady, though the storm inside me threatened to spill over.

Louis slammed his fist against the table. "We shouldn’t have let it get this far. She’s hurting, and instead of protecting her, we made her think we were against her."

I closed my eyes briefly, fighting the sting of guilt. He was right. Olivia had looked so pained, so furious, so desperate when she spoke about Selene. And what had we done? Questioned her. Suggested she was jealous.

Maybe we hadn’t meant it to sound like that, but that’s what she heard. That’s what she felt.

"I tried to reach her," I murmured, running a hand down my face. "She cut me off before I could even finish her name."

Lennox cursed under his breath and shoved a hand through his hair. "She’s overreacting. We just need to give her a day. She’ll cool down."

But I shook my head. "No. This isn’t about cooling down. She’s hurt. Deeply. And if we keep brushing it off, we’ll lose her trust completely."

Silence fell over the room. The weight of it pressed heavy on my chest.
