Triple Fated: A Romance Novel

Chapter 416: Dream

Levi's POV

The moment Olivia slammed the link shut, I felt it — an unbearable pain. | tried again, pushing gently against the

bond, but nothing cback. She had blocked— blocked us.

My chest tightened, but | forced myself to breathe. Unlike Lennox, who paced the study like a caged wolf, and

Louis, whose fists were clenched so hard his knuckles had gone pale, | sat still. Calm on the outside, but inside |

was worried.

"Damn it, Levi!" Lennox snapped, his voice sharp. "She cut us off again. You felt it, right? She’s not listening."

I nodded once. "I felt it." My voice was even, steady, though the storm insidethreatened to spill over.

Louis slammed his fist against the table. "We shouldn't have let it get this far. She's hurting, and instead of

protecting her, we made her think we were against her."

| closed my eyes briefly, fighting the sting of guilt. He was right. Olivia had looked so pained, so furious, so

desperate when she spoke about Selene. And what had we done? Questioned her. Suggested she was jealous.

Maybe we hadn't meant it to sound like that, but that’s what she heard. That's what she felt.

"I tried to reach her," | murmured, running a hand down my face. "She cutoff before | could even finish her

name."

Lennox cursed under his breath and shoved a hand through his hair. "She's overreacting. We just need to give

her a day. She'll cool down."

But | shook my head. "No. This isn’t about cooling down. She’s hurt. Deeply. And if we keep brushing it off, we'll

lose her trust completely."

Silence fell over the room. The weight of it pressed heavy on my chest.

Louis finally broke it, his voice quieter this time. "You think she’ll cback?"

| hesitated. My heart said yes — because Olivia always found her way back to us. But the doubt inwhispered

another truth: this time, she might not.

| met my brothers’ eyes, their looks full of worry too. "If we don’t prove to her that we trust her and that we are

sorry... then no. She won't."

The study was silent for another moment before | opened the mind link.

Instead of calling Olivia, | reached Selene.

She was surprised. | felt her small, sharp breath in my head.

"Why did you slap Olivia?" | shouted into the link. My voice was loud in her mind.

Selene’s reaction cslow, like she was thinking of the best lie. "She was acting like a bitch," she answered

coolly. "She attackedfirst."

Lennox cut in unexpectedly. His voice rolled through the bond like thunder. "Get ready, Selene. The next twe

meet, you'll get a slap fromtoo." The threat was a promise that | knew Lennox was going to fulfill.

Selene groaned. "Why don’t you believe me?" she shot back. "I'm doing what you asked. I'm getting close to

him."

Louis was impatient. He jabbed at the bond. "It's been three days," he said sharply. "Why hasn't he fed from you

yet? Why hasn't the poison been used?"

Selene’s answer cquickly, defensively. "He hasn't tried," she murmured. "If | offered him my blood when we

weren't close, he'd smell something wrong. He would suspect. That's why I'm getting close first. | need him to

trust me. Then I'll make him drink. That's the plan."

| felt a cold knot in my chest. Her tone sounded practiced. Too practiced. Too calm.

My frown deepened. "I'm starting to suspect you," | told her. "Don’t think about betraying us. Remember what

we can do. Remember who you're up against."

Silence stretched on Selene’s end like a held breath. | could feel the wheels turning in her head — assessment,

calculation. She knew exactly how we could deal with her.

Finally she answered, but in a calm voice. "You worry too much, Levi. I'm playing my part."

Lennox’s voice snapped back into the link. "For your own good, | hope you keep doing just that." | frowned.

"Listen, Selene — you have three days to get him to feed from your poison blood. If you don’t, | will believe you

are betraying us." With that, | ended the mind link before she could speak.

Staring at my hands, | realized Olivia was right. We shouldn't trust Selene. Not completely.

The silence in the study felt heavy, pressing down onfrom all sides. | rubbed my eyes, the weight of

everything sinking deep into my bones.

"I... | feel tired," | muttered finally, pushing back my chair. "I need to rest."

Lennox gavea sharp look, but | didn’t explain. | didn’t have the strength to. Louis only nodded, though the

worry in his eyes mirrored mine.

| left the study and walked slowly to my room. My chest ached, my thoughts were messy, but as soon as | lay

down, sleep pulledunder.

| was running, barefoot, through a field soaked in the smell of blood. My wolf howled in my head, wild and

broken.

And then Lennox.

He was lying on the ground, his chest torn open, blood pooling fast under him. His eyes were closed.

"Lennox," | whispered hoarsely. My chest squeezed with fear so strong it nearly broke me.

| shoved out of bed, running barefoot through the halls. | didn’t care who saw. | needed to see him. Needed to

know he was alive.

At the corner of the corridor, | almost collided with Louis. His eyes went wide at the sight of me, wild and

shaking.

"Levi? What—"

"Where's Lennox?" | cut him off, grabbing his arm. "Where is he?"

Louis blinked, taken aback by my panic. "He... he went out."

My stomach dropped. My dream flashed in my head again — Lennox, bleeding, lifeless.
