270 Reject Me
270 Reject Me
Louis’s hand slid up my side, his thumb brushing just under my breast, making me shiver. He tilted my head more, forcing me to take Lennox’s kiss deeper, and I whimpered when his tongue brushed mine. I hated them. I hated how they made me feel. I hated that my body betrayed me so easily–craving their touch when my mind screamed for
escape.

I forced myself to keep eating until we were both done. Calvin suddenly pushed back
his chair and stood.
I took a deep breath and lifted my clin.
I swallowed hard and thought of the pain great–grandfather Callum must have gone through. His only crime was loving her… wanting to be with her, and she did such unspeakable things to him? I stood abruptly, my fists clenched at my sides. 2
“Why would the Moon Goddess do this?” I said bitterly to myself. “Why would she mate me with the Lucianos? With their descendants–twice?” 1
Olivia’s POV
“You hate us,” Louis said, his voice low, lips brushing my jaw, “but you’ll still be ours. Always.” 2
Lennox stepped forward first.
The words left my lips like venom. But none of them reacted. They just stood there, unmoving, unbothered. Like I hadn’t just tried to rip our bond apart.

“We didn’t ask for this war between our bloodlines, Levi said, his voice low. “But we’re not letting it destroy what the Moon Goddess still gave us.”

But then Lennox grabbed me. He yanked me toward him and crushed his lips against mine. I gasped. My body froze, shocked by the heat of the kiss, by the electricity that sparked through me. I tried to push away. But I felt Levi behind me. He was close–too close–and his lips found the back of my neck. I moaned. My breath hitched, my knees weakening as his kisses trailed up my skin. I was losing myself. The pull was too strong.
“How was your practice today?” he asked, his voice calm but edged with worry.

Calvin stood. “Olivia, where are you going?”
“I can’t,” I said, backing away. “I can’t do this.“ẪN
“Olivia?” Lennox asked, his eyes wide. “How…?”
“I don’t care what silly games the Moon Goddess is playing,” I spat, my voice trembling with rage, “but I’m ending it right here.” (3
“You can’t reject us,” Lennox growled against my lips, his forehead pressed to mine as he spoke. “Your soul won’t let you.”
He kissed me again, rougher this time, swallowing my soft cry. Louis’s mouth claimed my throat, kissing and biting gently until I was trembling in all their hands. Levi’s hands slipped under my shirt, his palms warm against my bare skin. I gasped, my body arching into him as if it belonged there.
I swallowed hard and nodded, my fork hovering over my plate. I was tense… my mind spinning with questions I was terrified to answer. What could have caused such hatred to run so deep? And if there was so much hate between us, why would the Moon Goddess mate me with the triplets–twice? What was she thinking?

“I can’t do this,” I said, my voice shaking but strong. “I can’t be mated to you. Not to the descendants of people who destroyed mine. Who made my great–grandfather bleed in ways that never healed.”
Their expressions shifted instantly–guarded, confused, tense.
Levi stepped forward, his face conflicted. “We just found out,” he admitted. “We didn’t know anything until recently.”
“Stop…” I gasped between kisses, but my voice sounded weak, breathless, and needy. “Don’t… don’t do this..”
“Yes.” Calvin nodded and slumped on the couch. “That’s why great–grandfather Callum warned Hailee never to step foot in this pack. Her son–our grandfather–cut all ties with her when he was just a teen. No one spoke of her. So when the revelation came that the next special one would come from us… it shocked everyone. Because we hated her. We hated her for what she did.” 9
I was having lunch with Calvin at the dining table. Lnoticed his eyes were constantly on me, watching every move like he needed to be sure I was really okay. Finally, he
spoke.

I followed Calvin in silence, my heart thudding anxiously in my chest. He led me through the hallway until we reached the library. It was quiet and cold, the scent of aged paper and leather–bound books filling the air. He walked to one of the older shelves tucked in the far corner, reached behind a stack of thick volumes, and carefully pulled out a scroll.
The room went still. Like the very air had frozen.
When I reappeared, I was in Lennox’s room. The familiar scent hit me, but I fought it down. All three of them–Lennox, Louis, and Levi–were there, frozen in place, shocked at the sudden appearance.
