Fated To Not Just One But Three novel Chapter 544

Chapter 544: Acting Like A Spoiled kid

Louis’s POV

Everything was upside down.

Our home, which used to be peaceful at least at some hours of the day, now felt like a storm lived inside the walls. And even the boys could sense something was wrong. They didn’t ask questions—that was one thing I loved about them. They observed. They felt things. But they didn’t push. They were smart that way.

"Can I go see Father Lennox after breakfast?" Liam asked quietly.

I swallowed hard. "I’ll go check on Alpha Lennox first and see if he is ready to receive anyone."

Liam looked like he wanted to say more, but he held it in and returned to his meal.

A moment later, Olivia walked back into the dining room and sat down beside me. One look at her and my stomach dropped. She wasn’t herself. Her eyes were tired, her shoulders pulled tight, her thoughts clearly far away. I wanted to reach for her hand but the boys were still at the table, watching.

We finished breakfast slowly. The boys said their goodbyes and were taken to school by their caregivers. Once they were gone, the house went quiet again—too quiet.

I turned to Olivia immediately. "How’s Levi?"

She exhaled. "He’s fine. Just... drunk. But he’s awake."

I nodded. "Everything will be fine."

She looked at me for a moment, like she wanted to believe that. Then she sighed. "Louis... can you please go check on Lennox? He hasn’t eaten. He didn’t even touch anything yesterday..."

"Okay," I said softly.

"I have a meeting with the she-wolves," she added. "I need to leave."

I leaned forward, kissed her lips gently, and whispered, "Be safe."

She gave me a small, weak smile, and walked out.

The moment the door closed, I headed straight to Lennox’s room.

When I entered, he was halfway out of his wheelchair again, wiping his upper body with a towel. He was struggling, but he didn’t ask for help. He refused to.

"You should let a male servant assist you," I said quietly.

He didn’t respond.

Not a nod. Not a sound. Not even a glance in my direction.

My jaw tightened.

"Lennox, I’m talking to you," I tried again.

He continued cleaning himself like I wasn’t even in the room.

Annabella hovered beside him, holding a bowl of warm water and another towel. I could see the way she looked at him—too focused, too attached. It bothered me.

I stepped closer. "Annabella, leave us."

She blinked, stunned. "Alpha Louis, with all due respect, Alpha Lennox needs proper care. I cannot leave—"

"You can," I cut in sharply. "And you will. I am an Alpha too. I don’t repeat myself."

She stiffened, her lips tightening, but she bowed slightly. "Yes, Alpha Louis."

I watched her walk out.

I didn’t like her. Not one bit. Something in her eyes felt wrong.

Once the door closed, I turned back to Lennox.

He still ignored me.

Still wiping himself like his strength wasn’t fading. Still acting like he didn’t need anyone—especially me.

My patience snapped just a little.

"Lennox," I said, stepping closer, "you can hate me. You can ignore me. But you can’t shut everyone out. Not like this."

Nothing.

No reaction.

It was like speaking to a ghost.

I exhaled slowly, trying to calm my rising anger.

"You have a family," I continued. "Three sons who care about you. A mate who almost died saving you. And brothers who—"

"Stop talking," he muttered finally, his voice low and cold.

I stared at him, my jaw clenching.

At least he said something.

"You’re pushing everyone away," I said quietly. "You think you’re protecting yourself, but you’re only hurting the people who want to help you."

He didn’t turn his head, but his fist tightened on the towel.

Good. He heard me.

"You haven’t eaten," I added. "Olivia cooked something for you."

His shoulders stiffened.

"You should—"

"Get out," he said, still not looking at me.

I felt heat rise in my chest. "No. I’m not leaving you like this."

He dropped the towel and snapped, "I SAID GET OUT!"

And still—my feet didn’t move.

Because I was his brother.

Because I wasn’t letting him drown alone.

Because Olivia asked me to try.

I took a slow breath and finally said, "I’ll get the food. Whether you eat or not... that’s your choice."
