Chapter 443: Something Is Wrong

Lennox’s POV

"Ahhh..." I felt an unbearable pain hit my chest. The pain was so severe that it almost sent me stumbling to the ground if I hadn’t grabbed the edge of the desk. I wanted to move and instantly realized something was wrong. "Olivia!" I whispered, my lips trembling, while my wolf answered with a raw, keening howl inside me, confirming every terrible suspicion.

Before I could move, the study door burst open. Louis stumbled in first, followed by Levi. Both looked pale and shaken, their eyes already wide with the same fear twisting inside me.

"You felt it too?" Louis asked, his voice trembling.

Levi didn’t even wait for my answer. "Something’s wrong with Olivia," he said sharply. "I can’t feel her. The bond—it’s weak, almost gone."

I tried to link to her, focusing on the spark that always connected us — but nothing came back. No warmth, no voice, no trace of her mind. Just silence.

"Olivia!" I called again through the link, forcing the bond to open, but it was like shouting into an empty void. Blocked.

Panic rushed through me. Just a few minutes ago, she had been here. We’d drafted a plan. She was supposed to go talk to Frederick — to make a deal. The plan was simple: she’d convince him that if we helped him find Selene, he’d let her go, break the blood vow. After that, she was supposed to return and tell us if he agreed.

That was all. A conversation. A negotiation.

So why couldn’t I feel her now?

Louis slammed his fist on the desk. "She should’ve been back by now!" he shouted. "What if something happened—"

Levi cut him off, his voice low but trembling. "The bond wouldn’t react like this unless she was in danger."

I clenched my fists. The panic turned into fury. "We have to talk to Frederick."

Levi’s hands were shaking as he pulled his phone from his pocket. "I’m calling him," he muttered, already dialing Frederick’s number.
