Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 459: Had No Right

Olivia’s POV

He stepped forward then, his eyes glassy. "Olivia, listen to me. The sorcerer said your life was tied to Lennox’s. The bond was keeping you connected, but it was killing you too. If he died, you would’ve followed him."

I froze, staring at him in disbelief. "So what?" I breathed. "You thought you’d play gods and decide for me?"

Louis’s voice cracked. "We did what we had to do to save you."

I shook my head violently, backing away. "Save me? What are you saying!"

Levi finally met my eyes, pain etched deep into his face. "You were fading, Olivia. We could feel it. Your wolf was slipping, your heart slowing. You would’ve died if we didn’t—"

"Didn’t what?!" I snapped.

Silence filled the room.

Louis’s shoulders slumped. "We had to disconnect the bond. The sorcerer said it was the only way."

"The only way..." I repeated slowly, my voice trembling. I knew what he was trying to say, but I didn’t want to accept it.

Levi swallowed hard. "I did it," he said quietly.

My heart stopped. "What?"

His voice broke. "I was the one who spoke the rejection. In your place."
