Olivia’s POV
I walked out of Lennox’s room, and the moment the door closed behind us, I felt like all the air left my chest. My heart hurt. My eyes were burning. Every second Lennox looked at me with hate replayed in my mind again and again. We all went to the living room. No one talked. No one even breathed loudly. Then I turned to Levi. I didn’t shout. I didn’t scream. My voice came out soft... weak... but full of pain.
"Do you see what you caused?" I whispered. "Lennox hates us. He hates me. Because of what we did."
Levi looked away, his jaw tight. "Olivia... I did what I thought was right."
"What you thought was right?" I repeated, my voice breaking. "You hid him. You kept him far away. You let him suffer alone. And now—now look at him. He can’t even walk. He doesn’t trust anyone."
Louis stepped closer. "Olivia—"
I shook my head quickly.
"I don’t want excuses," I cried. "I just want to know why this happened. Why we let it happen..."
My legs felt weak, so I sat on the couch and put my face in my hands. I cried quietly, my shoulders trembling. Levi and Louis stood in front of me, but they didn’t move. They didn’t try to touch me. Maybe they knew I didn’t want it.
I wiped my eyes and looked at the floor as a scary thought hit me.
"Lennox doesn’t know..." I whispered.
Louis frowned. "Know what?"
"That we... we are not mates anymore."
Both men froze.
Levi walked closer. "Olivia... don’t think about that now—"
"No," I said quickly, shaking my head. "This is important. Why hasn’t his wolf told him yet? Why doesn’t he feel it? Why doesn’t he know?"
My voice kept shaking.
"If Lennox finds out I’m no longer his mate..."
I paused, my throat closing up.
"How will he feel?"
The room went silent.
Even the air felt still.
I stared at my hands and whispered:
"He already feels abandoned. He already feels forgotten. When he learns I’m not his mate anymore... it will destroy him."
And the truth hit me so hard I pressed a hand against my chest.
"He might hate me even more."
I closed my eyes and whispered to myself:
"How am I going to fix this...?"
My wolf whimpered inside me—broken, unable to comfort me this time.
Suddenly, the healer stepped out of the hallway.
Her face was pale, her hands trembling.
Levi rushed forward first. "What is wrong with him? Why isn’t he using his legs?"
The healer bowed her head. "Alpha Levi... I—I am sorry, but Alpha Lennox ordered me not to give any report about his condition."
Levi’s eyes widened with anger. "I am Alpha here too. You will disobey me because of him?"
The healer flinched. "Alpha, I... I cannot break his order."
Louis quickly stepped between them. "Levi. Stop. You’re scaring her."
Levi clenched his fists, breathing hard. "He is doing this on purpose. He wants to shut us out."
Louis put a hand on Levi’s shoulder. "Calm down. Let her go."
Levi looked like he wanted to yell—but instead he exhaled sharply and stepped back.
Louis nodded at the healer. "You may leave."
The healer bowed again and hurried away.
Before any of us could speak, soft footsteps echoed down the hallway.
The young woman who had been pushing Lennox’s wheelchair appeared. She bowed to us politely, then turned to me.
"Lady Olivia," she said quietly, "Alpha Lennox wants to see you. Alone."
My breath caught.
Levi took a step forward immediately. "No. Absolutely not."
But Louis grabbed his arm. "Levi. Let her go."
Levi glared at him. "She is in pain. Lennox is angry. This is not the time—"
Louis spoke firmly. "He asked for her. Not you. Let her go."
Levi opened his mouth again, but I shook my head softly.
"It’s okay," I whispered. "I’ll go."
Levi looked worried, but he didn’t stop me this time.
My legs felt weak as I walked to Lennox’s door. I pushed it open slowly and stepped inside.
The room was quiet.
Lennox sat on the bed, his back straight, his hands resting on his useless legs under the blanket. His eyes were fixed on the window as he stared outside.
I swallowed hard. "Lennox... are you okay?"
He didn’t answer.
He didn’t even blink.
Slowly... painfully... he turned his head toward me.
