Chapter 483: In distress

Olivia’s POV

I didn’t want to do it. Not really. But Levi wasn’t listening. He stood there, his jaw tight, his eyes filled with that same cold stubbornness that always made me furious. Every word I said bounced off him like it didn’t matter. He wouldn’t tell me where Lennox was. He wouldn’t let me see him. He just stood there, calm, silent, breaking me with his stubborn refusal. I was shaking, not from anger but from fear. Fear that Lennox was gone forever. Fear that Levi had done something I couldn’t forgive.

"Tell me where he is," I said, my voice trembling.

Levi’s eyes softened, but his answer stayed the same. "I can’t."

Something inside me cracked.

"Levi," I whispered, trying one last time, "please... I just need to see him. I won’t do the ritual. I swear it. I just want to see him."

His lips pressed into a hard line. "You can’t."

That was it. That was the moment everything in me broke.

"Fine," I said, my voice cold even though my heart was crying. "If you won’t take me to him, then I’ll make sure you don’t have to deal with me anymore."

His brow furrowed. "Olivia—"

I took a deep breath and let my wolf’s power rise. The air in the room thickened. My heart pounded hard against my ribs. "I, Olivia—"

His eyes widened instantly. "Don’t."

"Reject—" I tried to finish, my voice shaking as tears filled my eyes.

But I didn’t want to. I didn’t mean it.

Inside, my mind was screaming, Stop me, Levi. Please stop me. Just tell me where he is. I was begging him silently, praying he’d interrupt me, hold me, anything, but he didn’t move. He just stood there, staring at me, his face pale and his hands trembling.

"Please," I whispered, choking on the word. "Say something. Don’t make me do this."

And then, before I could finish, Levi’s body suddenly went still.

"Levi?"

He swayed on his feet. His eyes rolled back.

"Levi!" I screamed as he collapsed to the floor.
