Lennox’s POV
"Ahhh..." I felt an unbearable pain hit my chest. The pain was so severe that it almost sent me stumbling to the ground if I hadn’t grabbed the edge of the desk. I wanted to move and instantly realized something was wrong. "Olivia!" I whispered, my lips trembling, while my wolf answered with a raw, keening howl inside me, confirming every terrible suspicion.
Before I could move, the study door burst open. Louis stumbled in first, followed by Levi. Both looked pale and shaken, their eyes already wide with the same fear twisting inside me.
"You felt it too?" Louis asked, his voice trembling.
Levi didn’t even wait for my answer. "Something’s wrong with Olivia," he said sharply. "I can’t feel her. The bond—it’s weak, almost gone."
I tried to link to her, focusing on the spark that always connected us — but nothing came back. No warmth, no voice, no trace of her mind. Just silence.
"Olivia!" I called again through the link, forcing the bond to open, but it was like shouting into an empty void. Blocked.
Panic rushed through me. Just a few minutes ago, she had been here. We’d drafted a plan. She was supposed to go talk to Frederick — to make a deal. The plan was simple: she’d convince him that if we helped him find Selene, he’d let her go, break the blood vow. After that, she was supposed to return and tell us if he agreed.
That was all. A conversation. A negotiation.
So why couldn’t I feel her now?
Louis slammed his fist on the desk. "She should’ve been back by now!" he shouted. "What if something happened—"
Levi cut him off, his voice low but trembling. "The bond wouldn’t react like this unless she was in danger."
I clenched my fists. The panic turned into fury. "We have to talk to Frederick."
Levi’s hands were shaking as he pulled his phone from his pocket. "I’m calling him," he muttered, already dialing Frederick’s number.
We all went silent. The only sound was the ringing. Once... twice... three times. No answer.
Louis cursed under his breath. "Pick up, damn it!"
Levi tried again. Still nothing. I could feel my heartbeat pounding in my throat. My wolf paced inside me, growling low and uneasy. Every instinct screamed that Olivia was in danger.
"His mansion is at least four hours away," Louis said, his voice tight. "If something happened—"
"Don’t," I cut him off sharply, clenching my fists. "Don’t even say it."
The air felt heavy. I could barely breathe. I tried the bond again, pouring all my strength into it — Olivia, answer me. But it was like hitting a brick wall.
My panic turned to rage. "We’re not waiting," I snapped. "We’re going to Frederick."
Levi looked at me, hesitant. "Lennox, we don’t even know if he is home—"
"I don’t care!" I shouted. "She’s in trouble. I can feel it."
Levi exhaled shakily and nodded. "Fine. Let’s go."
We were already heading for the door when Levi’s phone rang.
Frederick.
Levi put it on loudspeaker immediately. "Where is Olivia?" he demanded.
