Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 490: The Secret

Olivia’s POV

I should have gone back to my room. But something inside me, that strange tug that never lied, pulled me elsewhere. Before I knew it, I was standing in front of Levi’s door. There was a voice inside me whispering that I wasn’t meant to be here, yet something else, something stronger, pushed me to open the door. The moment I stepped in, both Levi and Louis turned toward me. Their faces were tense, their energy off, like two wolves caught mid-argument.

"Olivia?" Levi’s tone was too calm, too controlled. That alone told me everything.

I stared between them. "How long are you going to keep hiding things from me?"

Louis shifted awkwardly. Levi said nothing.

"I’m not blind," I continued, stepping further in. "You both whisper every time I walk into a room. You stop talking the second I’m near. I’m your mate, not a stranger!"

Louis exhaled, running a hand through his hair. "Olivia, please, it’s not like that."

"Then what is it?" I snapped, my voice trembling. "Because from where I stand, it feels exactly like that!"

Levi’s tone hardened. "You shouldn’t be here. You need rest. This isn’t good for—"

"Don’t use the babies to silence me," I cut in, already losing my patience. All I ever hear is the babies this, the babies that—just to shut me up. But not this time. "You’ve been using that excuse for months. You’re hiding something, and I deserve to know what it is."

The silence that followed was deafening. Levi looked away, jaw locked tight. But Louis couldn’t keep it in any longer.

"Fine," he muttered. "You want the truth? The healers found a way that could help Lennox: a ritual. But Levi said no. He won’t let anyone try it."

I blinked. "Why?"

"Because it’s risky," Louis said bitterly. "Too risky, he claims. But he won’t even give me the chance to try. He won’t tell me where Lennox even is!"

My heart dropped. "Wait... what do you mean?"

Louis met my gaze. "Only Levi knows where he’s being kept."
