Chapter 394: Love Him

Olivia's POV

When | arrived at Frederick's home, | was met by his sister instead. She stood in the doorway, calm and friendly,

and toldFrederick had gone back to his estate with his son.

"Frederick isn't a bad man, Olivia," she said softly, her eyes searching mine. "People paint him as a monster, but

he just wants to be loved."

| couldn’t help the scoff that escaped me. "Loved by force? Is that what you call love—clinging to someone who

barely wants you? Can’t he let another woman love him instead?"

Her lips curved faintly, though her eyes held something like pity. "You don’t understand him. Frederick grew up

with everything except affection. Power, respect, fear—he had those in abundance. But love? Genuine,

unconditional love? He’s never truly had it."

| folded my arms, my wolf bristling. "That's his fault. He doesn’t know how to treat people right. He pushes,

manipulates, forces. That's not how you win love."

She shook her head slowly. "Maybe. But deep down, he’s still searching for it. Even when he lashes out, even

when he hurts people—it all comes from that hunger. He's desperate for someone to stay, to choose him freely.

You can hate him all you want, Olivia, but that’s the truth. My brother is lonely."

Her words sank in, but | forced my face into a mask, unwilling to let her see any crack in me.

Because no matter what she said, Frederick's loneliness didn’t excuse his sins.

And it certainly didn’t change the fact that | would be the one to end him.

Her words were already biting at me, but she didn’t stop there. Her eyes softened, a strange sadness flickering

across her face.

"You know what hurt him the most?" she asked quietly. "Hailee."

My stomach tightened at the name.

"She disappeared," Frederick's sister went on. "One day she was there, the next... gone. He searched for her,

Olivia. He searched everywhere. He tore apart borders, called in favors, threatened packs—anything to find her.

And when he finally did..." She paused, her jaw clenching. "When he finally found her, she chose them instead.

Those three men—the fathers of her sons."

| stiffened, my wolf pricking up sharply.

"He did everything for her," she whispered, her gaze locking onto mine. "Protected her. Spoiled her. Gave her

every chance to love him back. But she couldn’t. She wouldn't. And when she turned away from him... it broke

something inside my brother. Something that never healed."

For a moment, | couldn't speak. My thoughts spiraled.

So Hailee knew. She knew Frederick loved her.

And still... she chose them.

| swallowed hard, forcing my voice steady even as a storm built inside me. "Love doesn’t excuse cruelty. He hurt

people. He hurt me. He hurt so many. You can’t dress that up as heartbreak."

But even as the words left my lips, a sliver of unease crept into me. Because now | knew the truth—her rejection

was the wound Frederick never recovered from.

Her words didn’t stop there. She leaned forward slightly, her tone lowering into something almost conspiratorial.

"Olivia," she said gently, "you could love him. If you gave him a chance. He would give you the world in return.

You wouldn't regret it. When my brother loves, he loves with everything. Listen, Olivia: if you give him the

chance he will treat you better than the triplets have ever—truston this. Just love him."

| almost laughed in her face. Almost. The only thing that stoppedwas the sheer sincerity in her eyes, like she

was spilling a deep secret to me.

Love Frederick?

| wanted to spit the words back at her—never. | would die before | let that happen. But then my plan whispered

in the back of my mind, remindingto stay careful. To play along until the twas right.

So instead of cursing him, | forced my voice to soften. "It's not like I have much choice," | murmured, lowering

my eyes. "He owns my life in his hands. Whether I like it or not, my path leads back to him."

Her smile was faint, almost triumphant. "Then don’t fight it, Olivia. You might be surprised by what you find if

you let yourself try."

| said nothing. I only dipped my head in a small nod, then let the bond of my power tugaway.

In a blink, | teleported straight to Frederick's home.

The air shifted, colder, heavier. |

"A birthday party," he replied casually, turning to facefully now. "Do you want to come?"

| tapped my chin, pretending to think about it, letting the pause stretch. Finally, | sighed and nodded. "Alright. I'll

come."

He smiled genuinely, like a man who had just been handed something precious. "Good," he said softly. "I'm

glad."

And in that smile, | saw it—the hunger his sister had spoken of. The loneliness. The need.

But no matter how real it looked, it didn’t change my truth.

Because behind my calmness, behind my forced agreement, one vow echoed clear in my heart.

I would end him.
