Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 481: Where is he

Olivia’s POV

The first thing I felt when I woke up was emptiness. A strange, hollow silence filled the room, too still, too cold. Something was wrong. I sat up slowly, my body aching, my vision spinning for a second before clearing. The healer’s words from earlier echoed faintly in my mind: "You can’t continue the ritual... it will harm you and the child."

The child.

My hand drifted to my belly, but the warmth I’d felt there before was replaced by a sharp, twisting panic. Something else was missing—something stronger.

Lennox.

My wolf stirred instantly, a low whimper rising in my chest. His scent... it’s fading. I pushed the blanket off and stood, ignoring the dizzy rush that followed. Selene tried to stop me when I reached the door, but I brushed past her.

"Olivia, wait—"

"No. Something’s wrong."

The hallway was too quiet, the air heavy. I reached Lennox’s door and pushed it open.

Empty.

The bed was neatly made. The lights were out. His scent—faint, almost gone. My chest tightened painfully.

"No..." I whispered, stepping inside. "No, no, no."

I tore back the sheets, checked the corners, the window—nothing. My heart pounded so loud it drowned everything else out.

"Selene!" I shouted. "Where is he?!"

She ran in, her eyes wide. "Olivia, please calm down—"

"Don’t tell me to calm down!" I screamed. "Where is he?! Where is Lennox?!"

I was frightened. Was he dead? Why was he gone? Why was his scent fading like smoke? What was happening?

Selene grabbed my arm, trying to calm me, but I shook her off violently. "Our bond... it’s gone," I whispered, horror spreading through me. "I can’t feel him. I can’t feel anything. Even if something is wrong, I can’t tell."

"Lennox!" I screamed at the top of my voice, fear gripping me. Did he die? Did he die while I was asleep and they took his body away?
