308 A Strange Voice

I sat on the toilet, sighing in relief, but then-

A low, almost amused hum echoed in my mind. “No. I am not. But I know you, Olivia… more than you know yourself. I have been in existence for over five hundred years.”

My throat went dry. “And if I don’t want your direction?”

I gritted my teeth. “There was no we in that deal,” I hissed under my breath. “And I’m not-”

My stomach tightened. “So… you’re saying you’ve been there all along?”

I bit my lip, embarrassed. “I’m… pressed,” I murmured.

“Yeah,” Lennox added, his gaze narrowing. “We heard you yell.”

I forced a small, strained smile, keeping my tone relaxed. “It’s nothing. I was just having a little disagreement with my wolf.”

“I

mean, Olivia,” she purred, “you and I… we are bound. My blood runs through your

veins.”

His arm tightened around me just a second, and his sleepy voice rumbled above my head. “Olivia? You okay?”

“Enough.” Her voice cut through me like a whip. “I’ve said what must be said. You will think on it. When you are ready to listen… call me. I will come.”

The air in the bathroom suddenly felt thinner, harder to breathe. “I don’t need you… I have the voice of my wolf already,” I spat.

Her voice was low, yet carried an authority that made my wolf whimper deep inside me. “I have been in the bodies of five generations before you. And now… I am inside

you.”

I exhaled slowly, glaring at the tiled wall. “Fine,” I said tightly. “What exactly is your so–called direction?”

I carefully slipped out of the warm tangle of limbs, feeling Lennox shift behind me in his sleep but not wake. Louis mumbled something.incoherent and turned his head, his

hand sliding off my leg. Padding quietly across the room, I slipped into the bathroom and closed the door behind me.

I swallowed hard, my jaw tightening. “So you’re saying if I don’t obey you, I’ll end up like her?”

She scoffed. “You have no choice, Olivia… I’m here to stay. To direct and to guide you.”

My pulse spiked. “Who-”

It hit me like a punch to the gut. “What?!” I almost laughed in disbelief. “Hell no!” The words tore out of me before I could stop them, sharp and loud enough to bounce off the bathroom walls.

“I’m saying,” she purred, “you should not make her mistake.”

For a long moment, I stayed still, my eyes half–closed, letting the feeling–sink in. Surrounded. Protected. Loved. A small smile tugged at my lips despite the heaviness still in my chest. But after a while, a different discomfort hit me. My bladder protested painfully, and I shifted slightly, trying not to wake anyone. Unfortunately, the movement was enough to make Levi stir.

“What happened?” Levi’s voice was soft but firm.

I froze.

The answer came without hesitation. “First, you must marry Lord Frederick.” (2)

Her voice shifted, becoming sharper, laced with annoyance. “It seems you’ll be just like Hailee. Stubborn. Defiant. Reckless.”

Louis tilted his head, studying me closely. “You look pale, Olivia.”

Levi’s frown deepened, but he didn’t push, at least not yet. “You sure?”

Her tone dropped into something darker. “Her disobedience cost her many things. All because she thought she knew better than me.”

The bathroom was suddenly too quiet. I exhaled shakily, running a hand over my face,

trying to steady my heartbeat before stepping out.

A low, amused chuckle filled my mind. “The special ability in you… that is me…

I swallowed hard. “And who exactly are you?”

Olivia’s POV

“Yes,” I lied smoothly, stepping past them toward the bed. “I’m fine. Really.”

My fingers clenched against my knees. “Inside me? What do you mean?” I whispered, my voice trembling.

“We had a deal with Lord Frederick, and you need to abide by it.”

My mouth went dry. “You’re… not my wolf.”

“Oh yes,” she said softly, almost mockingly. “Since the moment you were born. Watching. Waiting. Guiding you when I could.”
