Olivia’s POV
"Are you sure about this?" the seer asked again for what felt like the hundredth time after I told her I wanted to heal my mother.
"Yes," I said firmly. "I need her now."
The old seer’s cloudy eyes studied me, her gaze unreadable, before she finally gave a slow nod. "Alright... we will do it tonight. But if the process becomes risky, I’ll stop it."
I nodded quickly. "Thank you. So... I’ll see you tonight?"
"Yes," she confirmed.
A small, grateful smile spread across my lips. "Thank you," I repeated softly before teleporting away.
The moment I reappeared in my room, I met Lolita there, arranging some of my clothes, but the second she saw me, her face lit up in relief.
"Thank goodness you came..." she said quickly, almost rushing the words out. "Guess who called."
I raised a brow. "Who?"
"Alpha Gabriel," Lolita said, watching my reaction closely.
I froze. "Gabriel?" My brows pulled together in confusion. Why would he be calling me after everything... after his betrayal?
Before I could even ask, her phone rang again.
I hesitated for a moment, my wolf growling low in my chest. Then I snatched the phone from Lolita’s hand and answered.
"You have the guts to call me?" I spat without greeting.
There was a short pause on the line before his voice came through, soft and almost pleading. "Olivia... I’m sorry."
I let out a bitter scoff. "Sorry? I trusted you, Gabriel. I thought you were my knight in shining armor. I thought you were different."
"I know," he said quickly. "And I’m sorry. Truly, I am."
I tightened my grip on the phone. "If you’re calling to apologize, save it. I won’t forgive you."
"I’m not calling just for that," he said urgently. "I need your help. The triplets... they’re waging war against my pack. I don’t want innocent souls to die because of me. I’m ready for any punishment you think I deserve... but not war."
My frown deepened instantly. The triplets... going to war? And they didn’t tell me?
I didn’t say another word. I ended the call, tossed the phone back to Lolita, and instantly teleported.
I appeared right in Lennox’s room to find all three of them seated on the bed. The moment they saw me, I noticed that look of unease in them, like they had been caught doing something they were not supposed to do.
With a deepening frown and my arms folded across my chest, I stared at them. "I believe you three have some explaining to do," I said coldly.
The three brothers exchanged tense glances before returning their gazes to me. Levi was the first to get up as he approached me. "We are sorry, Olivia. We didn’t want you to get worried."
My frown deepened, and my glare fixed on the three of them. "Why did you have to keep this away from me? I thought we said no secrets among us."
But deep down, a heavy guilt curled in my chest because I was keeping a secret of my own.
Lennox finally stood, his expression softening, though his jaw was still tense. "We’re sorry, Olivia. Really. We just... didn’t want you to worry. This war? It’s nothing. We’ll be back before you even know we’ve left."
I shook my head instantly. "No. Absolutely not." My voice cracked slightly. "I just got you three back. Things are finally starting to work. And I don’t want anything happening to you. I don’t want any risks."
I took a step closer, my gaze bouncing between all of them. "The war is not happening. I don’t care what Gabriel did. You’re not going. You’re calling him, and you’re canceling it. Now."
They hesitated.
The three of them exchanged glances like they were silently trying to decide how to handle me.
Lennox finally broke the silence. "Olivia... there’s no need to get scared. We’ve handled worse. You know we can win this."
And he was right. Damn it, he was right. But this time... the risk? It wasn’t one I was willing to take.
There was a beat of silence before I stepped back slightly. "I have to leave."
Louis was the closest to me, so I leaned in first and pressed my lips to his. He let out a low, deep moan against my mouth, his hands immediately sliding to grip my waist possessively.
I pulled away before he could deepen it, turning toward Levi. His warm hands cupped my face as soon as I leaned in, and when my lips touched his, he groaned softly into my mouth like he didn’t want to let me go.
Finally, I moved to Lennox. The moment our lips met, his kiss was different—deep, claiming, filled with the kind of possession that made my knees threaten to give out. He groaned against my lips and pulled me closer until I could feel his heartbeat pounding in sync with mine.
When he broke away, his hand stayed on the back of my neck, holding me in place. "Stay a little longer," he murmured, his voice low and rough.
God, I wished I could. But I had too much on my plate.
I gave a faint smile and shook my head. "I have to leave."
He exhaled heavily, clearly unhappy, but he let me go.
"See you later," I said, and with that, I teleported back to my room.
When I arrived, only Lolita was there. Nora was nowhere in sight.
"Where’s Nora?" I asked, confused.
Lolita shrugged. "Alpha Calvin demanded her attention."
I frowned. Something was definitely going on—and I needed to get to the bottom of it.
"I’ll be back," I told Lolita, then left my room.
This time, I didn’t teleport. I walked to Calvin’s room.
When I reached it, I should have knocked. But something came over me. I just grabbed the doorknob, pushed it open, and stepped inside.
Stepping in, my stomach dropped, and I could only stare, unable to believe what I was seeing.
